3D Gaussian avatars support fast rendering, however, their real-time animation is often challenged by the costly neural inference. We address this bottleneck and show that the animation of pretrained avatar models can be closely approximated by a linear combination of identity-independent blendshapes. Building on this...
Quadrupedal locomotion requires balancing conflicting objectives such as command tracking, stability, and energy efficiency, yet conventional reinforcement learning (RL) hardcodes these priorities into a fixed scalar reward at training time. We present PROMO (Preference-Conditioned Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learnin...
Analytical charts in multimodal deep research encode quantitative claims, requiring every visualized value to be faithfully grounded in supporting evidence. Unlike retrieved images that mainly provide contextual information, charts require numerical fidelity: visualized values should not only match retrieved evidence q...
Complex problem solving depends on acting effectively and understanding how a system works. AI advice may support these outcomes unequally. Two preregistered experiments compared participants managing a simulated clothing factory with and without an LLM advisor. Across studies, AI-supported participants reported greate...

SPHERE demonstrates how capturing demonstrated spatial logic enables controlled spatial adaptation, establishing a reliable, governed human-AI collaboration framework for immersive authoring.
This work presents three delegation episodes in which epistemic engagement proved practicable while remaining auditable, one public record where a recommendation was withdrawn on its own stated terms, and one failure case illustrating oversight that requires no reasons for its discretionary choices.
ABDA-NL adds a natural-language interface to ABDA, a system for argument-based discussion using ASPIC- knowledge bases under grounded semantics. Users see which conclusions are accepted, rejected, or undecided, open an interactive rendering of the grounded discussion game to learn why, explore what-if alternatives by s...
Eliciting detailed and actionable software requirements from end-users is a critical phase in the iterative development of a software product or application. To ensure the feedback collected is detailed and actionable, software teams can leverage the laddering interview technique. While effective for ensuring granular...
The rapid development of AI-driven tools, particularly large language models (LLMs), is reshaping professional writing. Still, key aspects of their adoption such as language support, ethics, and long-term impact on writers' voice and creativity remain underexplored. In this work, we carried out a questionnaire (N = 301...
Drawing on a multimodal corpus of public accounts, commentary, and representations from 2023 to 2026, two complementary concepts are contributed: the covert triad names a structural reconfiguration: a relationship that appears dyadic but operates triadically, with AI visible only to the partner who deploys it.
Extended interaction with large language models (LLMs) has been linked to the reinforcement of delusional beliefs, attracting clinical and public concern. Yet most empirical work evaluates model safety in brief interactions, which may not reflect how harms develop through sustained dialogue. Five LLMs were tested acros...
Findings show that alt text written solely by DSO professionals has lower quality than alt text written with AI assistance, while AI assistance also helped DSO professionals write alt text more quickly and with greater confidence; however, they reported inefficacy in interactions with the AI.
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.
During the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences’ 75th Anniversary Symposium, President Sally Kornbluth said “MIT has never needed your particular insight and guidance more than we do now.”
Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
“X-Hinges” helps design and 3D print items like lamps and gloves with an interactive twist: automatically embedded sensors that perceive and adaptively respond to human contact.
