When AI Companions Disappear: Relational Continuity and Collective Contestation during China's National AI Regulatory Transition
AI model updates and service withdrawals can disrupt relationships with AI companions, but research has largely examined individual platform events.Are LLMs Good Financial User Simulators? Multi-view Investor Logic Alignment (MILA)
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as user simulators, yet it remains unclear whether their predictions faithfully reproduce the evolving decisions of individual users.Before You Poll with LLMs: A Deliberative Diagnostic Framework
Can LLMs reason through new information like humans, or do they merely retrieve cached opinions?How do people plan digitally: An in-the-wild investigation of task planning through a smartphone app
Daily planning supports goal attainment and productivity, and people increasingly delegate it to digital tools.The CAST-framework: Measure and model social media use as a multi-level phenomenon through real-world applications
Designing social media experiences that support well-being requires understanding when, how, and for whom use matters.How to build a campfire? Participatory modelling with justice
Energy transition decision-making is pervaded by deep uncertainties.netseg: a Python Package for Measuring Structural Polarization and Segregation in Social Networks
The study of structural polarization and segregation in social networks is an established line of research, and the quantification of both phenomena proceeds through a set of widely cited network…GPEvac: GNN-Based PPO for Adaptive Evacuation Routing During Shooting Events
The sharp increase in mass shootings underscores an urgent need for systems that guide victims to safety in real time.AI-Driven Feedback Systems, Digital Labour, and Silent Quitting: Transforming African Workplaces
The current trend of digitalisation has revolutionised the organisation of work and the way it is measured and performed across the globe, with AI becoming more common for managing labour and…Mapping U.S. Federal AI Governance Against Sector Vulnerability
Artificial intelligence (AI) poses different levels of risk across sectors, but are these differences reflected in U.S. federal AI governance?How Humans and LLMs Read Gender into "Gender-Neutral" Physical Descriptions
When foundation models describe people, recent work in AI fairness, accessibility, and ethics recommends avoiding inferred identity labels (e.g., "she", "his") in favor of seemingly "objective"…Do job seekers value procedure in AI hiring only for error correction? Evidence from a conjoint experiment
Employers increasingly delegate initial screening to automated systems, which in many cases reject an application before any human reads it.Silicon sampling answers with country-level assumptions, not individual attitudes: Cross-national evidence from the European Social Survey
Silicon sampling uses large language models (LLMs) to simulate survey respondents.Enhancing Human Mobility Prediction with Spatially Aware LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems
Predicting a user's next POI is a task in human mobility modeling, yet LLM-based approaches focus on semantic reasoning from previous mobility records, while neglecting real-world spatial context.A latent dimension of Condorcet's jury theorem for multiple AI advisers
When the same question is asked of multiple AI advisers, as in self-consistency and LLM-as-a-judge panels, Condorcet's jury theorem predicts that adding independent, competent advisers makes the…AlgoRAG: Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Theoretical Computer Science Education -- A Comprehensive Evaluation Framework for Algorithm Analysis and Complexity Theory
Teaching abstract theoretical computer science (TCS) concepts such as algorithm analysis and complexity theory is challenging because students must handle formal proofs and asymptotic reasoning that…AI Deployment Accountability Engineering: A Vision for Accountable AI in Safety-Critical Socio-Technical Systems
Artificial intelligence systems are rapidly becoming critical components in healthcare, finance, public services, and other safety-critical domains.Investigating the Impacts of Generative AI on Information Seeking
This paper is an encore submission of our 2026 journal article "Expertise and Information Seeking in the Age of Generative AI: New Procedures, New Problematics" with an extended discussion for the…Vulnerabilities in Personalization: Assessing Health Privacy Risks in ChatGPT Logs and Memory
As conversational LLMs become deeply embedded in daily life, users frequently disclose sensitive personal health information during routine interactions.Perceive, Refine, Reason: A Calibrated Pipeline for Measuring Indicators in Strategic Visual Communication on Social Media
Visual content shapes audience perception and opinion on social media, and computational social science increasingly relies on automated tools to analyze images at scale.
