We present techniques to build programming assistants for data analysts to improve their productivity when using programming-based tools and libraries. We leverage program synthesis, program testing, program analysis, and machine learning including graph neural networks and large language models to build these assistants.

Collaboration and multi-user interactions are key aspects of many software tasks. In tra- ditional desktop software, such aspects are well supported through built-in collaboration functions or general-purpose techniques such as screen and video sharing. In Mixed Reality environments, where users carry out actions in a three-dimensional space, collaboration and guidance may be required. However,...

In this talk, I will describe our work on modeling the effects of speaker attributes on language, looking at applications that are designed to help improve the safety of users in the digital world.
