Tactile Search: Enhancing Targeting in 3D Space

Tactile Search, an approach that uses modulation of frequency and amplitude of vibrations to the hands for guiding attention to the location of objects in 3D space, is introduced and it is found that vibrotactile feedback significantly improved performance and increased user confidence.

Will My Assistant Remember My Allergy? What Personal LLM Assistants Forget When Conversation Memory Is Compressed

Personal LLM assistants (health companions, elder-care agents, accessibility aides) are judged by what they remember about a person: a medication or an allergy mentioned in passing and needed days later, so an eviction policy must decide what the cache forgets.

From Sensor Data to Classroom Inquiry: GenAI-Supported Exploration of School Digital Twin Data

Digital Twins for educational buildings can support sustainability-oriented learning, but their use in schools remains limited. This paper presents a GenAI-based chatbot built on top of an existing Digital Twin for two school buildings in Greece, using real IoT data from environmental sensors and energy meters. The cha...

Companion AI and Ethical Design: Learning from System Failures and User Desires

Human users are interacting with chatbots and companion AI technologies as if they were human. A growing array of AI-systems are now trained to recognise, interpret and simulate feeling in user interactions. Ethical considerations such as fairness, accountability, transparency and explainability (FATE) are paramount in...

FrankenReport: Early Exiting in Long-Form Generation Using Expected Value of Computation

FrankenReport, an interface for long-form knowledge-seeking report generation that supports adaptive early exiting per section, is presented, an interface for long-form knowledge-seeking report generation that evaluates intermediate outputs during generation and predicts whether further targeted computation will yield...

Seeing Without Understanding: Large Language Model Evaluation of Mobile User Interface Quality, Failure Taxonomy, and Architectural Explanation

This paper derives a heuristic baseline built from severity-weighted usability signals, normalized layout metrics, and pixel-ratio complexity measures calibrated to real user sentiment from the complete RICO dataset of 66,261 real-world mobile application screens.

Marginal Fidelity Does Not Establish User Simulation in Demographic Synthetic Survey Panels: Response Contracts, Support Collapse and Conditioning Failure

Demographic synthetic survey panels are often validated by matching aggregate answers to published surveys. We test what that certificate establishes across six multiselect batteries from four survey organisations in three countries. The headline analysis is restricted to three instruments whose synthetic cohort and hu...

The Blindness of Document-Level Translation Evaluation

A counterfactual condition (MIX) is test with a counterfactual condition (MIX) in which each document combines segments drawn from different systems, preserving document-level presentation while breaking cross-segment consistency.

Do Reasoning Representations Help Humans Evaluate LLM Outputs?

This work conducts a controlled human study of six reasoning formats across tasks of varying complexity, supported by a web-based framework that randomizes task domains, problem instances, and representation order.

Turing's First Imitation Game: Design Concepts and a Human-Approximates-Machine Reading

This interpretation presents the 1948 game as a human-approximates-machine game and suggests that the imitation game framework can be used not only to ask whether machines imitate humans, but also to examine when human intelligence becomes machine-like under specific task constraints.

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

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…

Q&A: How AI came to model the “messy” human mind

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
