SUMMARY:Kotak IISc AI-ML Talk Series: A paradigm shift in nonvisual program
 ming
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTitle of the talk: A paradigm shift in nonvisual 
 programming\n\nSpeaker: Venkatesh Potluri\, Assistant Professor\, School o
 f Information\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\n\nDate and time: 12 De
 cember 2024\; 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM\n\nVenue: Room No. 102\, Seminar Hall\,
  Department of Computational and Data Sciences\n\nAbout the talk: Programm
 ing and software engineering are of keen interest to the blind or visually
  impaired (BVI) community\, spurring accessibility enhancements to program
 ming tools that simplify nonvisual code navigation and debugging. Though t
 hese enhancements improve the general accessibility of software engineerin
 g\, they fail to address accessibility of specialised programming domains\
 , such as user interface design\, physical computing\, and data science du
 e to their reliance on visual code outputs. Consequently\, these domains h
 ave become inaccessible to BVI developers. In this talk\, Dr Venkatesh  P
 otluri will present his work contributing new interaction techniques\, acc
 ess to data representations\, and data-driven studies to make this visual 
 information in widely-used programming tools accessible\, thereby increasi
 ng accessibility of the aforementioned programming domains. He will conclu
 de with recommendations drawn from BVI developer experiences\, to ensure t
 hat the paradigm shift in programming ushered in by the recent adoption of
  Generative AI tools remains accessible.\n\nAbout the speaker: Venkatesh P
 otluri is an Assistant Professor at the School of Information\, University
  of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He graduated with a PhD in Computer Science from
  the University of Washington. His work has received several recognitions 
 in top-tier conferences such as ACM ASSETS\, and CHI\, and he was recognis
 ed with  a Google Lime Scholarship and an Apple AI ML PhD Fellowship. He 
 examines accessibility barriers experienced by people who are blind or vis
 ually impaired through a combination of qualitative\, data driven\, and et
 hnographic research methods. He contributes datasets and  real world syst
 ems to enhance these accessibility barriers.\n\nhttps://venkateshpotluri.m
