Montréal HCI

A research group specializing in HCI (human-computer interaction / interaction personne-machine) at the Université de Montréal in sunny, beautiful, cold Québec. The Montréal HCI group aims to serve as the homebase for academic HCI research in Montréal, and contributes to top HCI conferences and communities (e.g. CHI, UIST, and CSCW).

The Montréal HCI group is the home of:

ChainForge
An open-source visual toolkit for prompt engineering and LLM hypothesis testing

Notational programming
A programming paradigm where you handwrite/draw notation, powered by AI

Augmented reading
An ensemble of tools and techniques to help read and understand (scientific) documents

DirectGPT
A system to interact with AI using pointing interactions and prompts as tools

and hopefully you! :) We're recuiting PhD and masters students interested in research topics related to programming environments, information visualization, human-AI interaction, or LLM evaluation tools. Check out who we are and what we do to identify who of Prof. Ian Arawjo or Prof. Damien Masson would be a better fit. If you're interested in working with Prof. Arawjo, first read his Letter to Prospective Graduate Students . Then, if you're still convinced, send an email with the subject "Prospective Student".

Montréal HCI is led by Profs. Ian Arawjo and Damien Masson.
