AI assistants in augmented reality may advise users about parts of the physical world they cannot directly observe. We ask whether contextual information from the situation helps users make better decisions with fallible AI. In an AR visual- search study (N = 32), we varied target prevalence and scene visibility while...

Brain foundation models have transformed medical artificial intelligence and computational neuroscience by reducing the reliance on task-specific data through large-scale pretraining. While they have been successful with non-invasive neuroimaging data, their adoption in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has...
Instructional videos are the dominant medium for completing physical tasks, yet rarely match the user's visual context. Motor simulation and cognitive load theories predict this mismatch matters, but how much, which attributes are responsible, and how users experience it remain unknown. We conduct two studies (56 parti...

Existing home energy management systems conceptualize occupants as passive recipients of energy information and control, which limits their ability to effectively support informed decision-making and sustained engagement. This paper presents Home Energy Management Assistant (HEMA), the first open-source, multi-agent sy...

Haptic interactions, such as touching an object in virtual reality, involve detecting a plethora of sensations through the skin. Whilst tactile displays exist to simulate and manipulate all of these cues individually, little progress has been made constructing devices that can control multiple cues simultaneously. This...

The explosion of generative AI systems and concerns surrounding their rapidly scaling capabilities has led to an adversarial cycle between increasingly narrow content restrictions ("guardrails") and increasingly sophisticated structured prompting techniques ("jailbreaks"). Technological frameworks surrounding such jail...
The exponential growth of textual and audiovisual information has made the task of automatic keyphrase extraction (KE) increasingly significant. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of contemporary theoretical approaches and practical solutions for KE across both text and speech modalities. The primary contri...
North Korean defectors residing in China face persistent uncertainty regarding digital security and privacy. Through semi-structured interviews with 19 defectors, we examine how individuals understand digital threats and adapt their security behaviors. We identify three interrelated conditions: transnational surveillan...

Peer-review comments check what a paper does and judge why it matters, but no existing scheme distinguishes these two evaluative acts. We argue that making these acts explicit and measuring how reliably LLMs identify them is a prerequisite for responsible LLM-assisted review analysis: humans need to inspect review judg...
VREgo trains manipulation policies from demonstrations recorded on consumer VR headsets with EgoKit with EgoKit on one such headset, the PICO 4 Ultra, and adapts HumanEgo's preprocessing to estimate grasp thresholds per recording, update object positions after release, and propagate segmentation masks between keyframes...
A randomized controlled trial across two four-week SAT mathematics bootcamps on the Schoolhouse.world platform, involving 1,030 volunteer tutors, 7,443 learners and 6,508 recorded sessions, finds that automated feedback can change how tutors invite learner thinking, but shifting how much learners talk likely requires c...

When an object comes into view, humans can instantaneously recognize it if known to them. However, assessing how this recognition takes place remains challenging. A few studies using simple sketches have reported varying degrees of image similarity between the fixation density map (FDM), which visualizes eye movements...
AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…
Professor Paris Smaragdis develops computers with superhuman hearing for applications like speech recognition, music understanding, and environmental monitoring.
