“…Advancements in AI accelerators and the availability of large amounts of data have led to an evolution in model architectures, 5 which we capture as the following four types. First, rule-based models rely on pre-defined logic, lookup tables, regular expressions, or other similar heuristic approaches that are deterministic in nature [10,29,90,221]. For statistical machine learning (ML) models, we consider models that are trained from scratch on historical data, are not necessarily "deep" (as in deep neural networks), and are used to make future predictions (e.g., support vector machines and logistic regression) [112,122,195,271].…”

“…One fundamental goal is to explain; expository applies to writing tasks whose purpose is to convey relevant facts and knowledge [138,206]. Another common purpose is telling a story; narrative applies to tasks whose goal is to convey an account of real [90] and imagined experiences [88,109,211]. Some texts are written to be descriptive in order to convey emotion [255] and provide expressive details, particularly with evocative language [83,84,160].…”

In our era of rapid technological advancement, the research landscape for writing assistants has become increasingly fragmented across various research communities. We seek to address this challenge by proposing a design space as a structured way to examine and explore the multidimensional space of intelligent and interactive writing assistants. Through a large community collaboration, we explore five aspects of writing assistants: task, user, technology, interaction, and ecosystem. Within each aspect, we define dimensions (i.e., fundamental components of an aspect) and codes (i.e., potential options for each dimension) by systematically reviewing 115 papers. Our design space aims to offer researchers and designers a practical tool to navigate, comprehend, and compare the various possibilities of writing assistants, and aid in the envisioning and design of new writing assistants.

“…For the latter, digital affordances might be explored to transform digital content across modalities. For example, a grief letter could be transformed into music [Gonzales et al, 2010], supporting richer ritual experience.…”

People increasingly live their lives online, accruing large collections of digital possessions, which symbolically represent important relationships, events, and activities. Most HCI research on bereavement focuses on retaining these significant digital possessions to honor the departed. However recent work suggests that significant digital possessions may complicate moving on; they function as both comforting and painful reminders but currently provide inflexible methods for disposal. Little work has investigated the disposal of digital objects as a means of letting go. To better understand this we interviewed 10 psychotherapists who employ rituals of letting go to help patients overcome loss in situations such as a divorce, a breakup, or a stillbirth. Patients disposed of either natural artefacts or symbolic personal possessions through actions such as burning, burying, or placing in a body of water. Therapists noted people increasingly have digital possessions, and that the act of deletion does not offer the same cathartic sense of release as disposal of material artefacts. Based on analysis of this grief therapy, we propose a new conceptual framework for rituals of letting go that highlights temporality, visibility, and force. It provides a vocabulary to talk about disposal. We then offer design implications connecting the rituals of letting go to the disposal of digital things. Based on our interviews and analytic framework, we propose novel technologies that better connect the embodied nature of letting go rituals to the process of digital disposal.
