A Design Process Framework and Tools for Teaching and Practicing Biomimicry [PDF]
BiomimeticsFew design methods exist that provide clearly structured, visually intuitive, and easily monitored scaffolding for navigating the considerable complexity of biomimetic processes. To this end, we present a holistic biomimicry process framework informed by

“What It Wants Me To Say”: Bridging the Abstraction Gap Between End-User Programmers and Code-Generating Large Language Models [PDF]
International Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2023 Code-generating large language models map natural language to code. However, only a small portion of the infinite space of naturalistic utterances is effective at guiding code generation.
