With the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs), software developers are presented with a powerful new approach: delegating software development tasks to LLMs. Existing studies have explored task delegation for a subset of tasks and factors. Critically, what tasks developers delegate to LLMs, to what extent, and why they...

Sustained attention is critical for academic performance, yet existing auditory support tools are static and not grounded in real-time neural evidence. This paper presents EEGBiFormer, a hybrid CNN-Transformer model for realtime binary classification of attention states, focus versus nonfocus, from 16-channel EEG signa...
Visual search is ubiquitous in daily life, from locating keys in a messy apartment to finding a tool in a cluttered workshop or an application icon on a desktop screen. While visual attention is to a large extent driven by image content, research in psychology indicates that user cognitive states have a significant inf...

A system providing personalized, AI-generated response suggestions tailored to creators'writing styles to maintain their media personas is designed, indicating that while AI suggestions enhance efficiency, they can undermine a creator's engagement in communication by shifting their attention toward monitoring AI.
A large corpus of 163,487 Reddit posts, describing AI agent use, is used to develop MANDATE: a taxonomy of 23 failure categories organized into seven groups, finding that failures rated as more severe are considered harder to notice, and that prior experience with a failure is associated with greater noticeability.

Many agent tasks recur with new data or small changes, yet agents regenerate their reasoning and actions on each run, producing different results. Distilling a prior run into a skill helps the agent avoid earlier mistakes, but it still re-runs the full process each time, so runs can vary and incur that cost. We compile...

Life experiences can shape policy attitudes, but we only live one life. Citizens may therefore fail to support policies addressing risks they have never personally experienced. Narratives can make such risks immediate and personal, but personalized stories remain difficult to produce at scale. Here we ask whether AI ca...

Although it did not significantly outperform other embodied agents, these findings establish the immediate potential of nonhuman embodied avatar interfaces as a promising direction for memorable environmental interventions.

Agent harnesses have become a central component of modern agentic systems, shaping how models use tools, manage context, and coordinate long-horizon interaction. Realizing the benefits of these harnesses depends on how effectively the underlying model can make use of them, motivating reinforcement learning directly thr...

Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) enables efficient specialization and distribution of large language models through compact adapters. However, untrusted adapters introduce a supply-chain threat: a backdoored adapter can cause a model to generate harmful content, malicious code, political propaganda, or covert advertisements...

Large Language Models (LLMs) have accelerated drug discovery, particularly in the automated design of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). However, current validation pipelines for peptide generation models overlook historical precedents showing that certain drugs carry health risks predominantly for individuals with specifi...

In Large Language Model (LLM) training, data mixing plays a pivotal role in determining model performance. Recent methods optimize mixture weights via proxy models, but they rely on the assumption of static data distributions. As a result, when the underlying data pool shifts, these methods require costly retraining fr...
