HelloWorld ✍

I am Haichang(Charles) Li(李海畅), recently graduated from Purdue University with a B.Sc degree (3.96/4.0 GPA, with Distinction) in Information and Communication. At Purdue University, I was affiliated with DE4M Lab and AIM, and I was lucky enough to be mentored by Prof. Liang He and IEEE Fellow/ACM Distinguished Scientist Prof. Yung hsiang Lu. In addition, I am a founding member of SOUNDING.AI, which is a startup receiving 10M+ CNY to explore how to build AI-based systems and I built a group of AI technical teams here. Currently, I am collaborating with MEMO.AI and exploring using contextual information through AI-integrated glasses to enhance human-AI interaction.:)

Here is a statement of my interest in "symbiosis between humans and machines.":

My research is inspired by the 1997 debate on "Direct Manipulation" and "Interface Agents," the concept of Mixed-Initiative Interaction, and the philosophy of "Taiji." , focus on making humans and machines each contribute their strengths at the most appropriate times. I want to balance the duality of machines and humans like TaiJi: machines work naturally and intelligently like humans, and humans provide control to make sure the machines conform to their intentions and expectations.

Specifically, I am dedicated to designing and evaluating next-generation intelligent systems that dynamically allocate initiative between humans and machines based on contextual information and human intent to support productivity and accessibility.

My goal is to design systems where machines act as human "friends". If you share similar interests and would like to collaborate with me, feel free to drop me an email :)!

News 🌊

[2025.1] Completed my first independent research paper with MEMO.AI and submitted it to CHI 25' LBW. We are now starting to develop a patent focusing on using MEMO to assist blind people.🌟

[2024.12] Successfully graduated from Purdue University with Distinction! Thank you to all who supported me on this journey.🎓

[2024.11] I independently completed the main writing of Code2Fab. We plan to submit this manuscript to the upcoming UIST.💪

[2024.4] The user study of "Mus2Vid" was accepted by IEEE CAI 2024! The results of our user survey will be exhibited in Singapore.🇸🇬🦁

[2024.1] The final version of "Shine Resume" is released in Chinese! Hope this will help some of the "hidden" crowd and shine with them! Thanks for the efforts of all the partners this summer. This is the first time for me to complete a commercial project from 0 to 1, from design to implementation and promotion.🎨
