Omni-UBench: Benchmarking Omni-Modal LLM-based Guardrails Across Safety, Utility, and Reliability
Advances in Omni-modal Large Language Models (OLLMs) have enabled increasingly seamless human-AI interaction, but their unified processing of heterogeneous modalities also expands the attack…Cognitively Constrained Partners for Zero-Shot Coordination in Real-Time Partitioned Control
Effective human-machine teaming requires agents that coordinate with unpredictable human partners.Silence Is Not Assurance: When Production Lane Keeping Assist Does Not Warn, and What It Costs
Production lane keeping assist (LKA) systems tell the driver whether they detect the lane markings, but whether this displayed status reflects what the system perceives, and what happens when it…GELLI: A Generator for Experiential Language Learning Interactions
Learning a second language requires extensive practice across situations personal to each learner, yet the most effective existing approaches --- narrative situations designed around specific…GenXR-Bench: Benchmarking Coding Agents for Interactive XR Development
Coding agents are rapidly advancing from single-file generation to long-horizon repository-scale engineering, yet the evaluation of their capabilities to author interactive extended reality (XR)…HumanCentric-Scenes-AI: A Human-Curated Multimodal Dataset of AI-Generated Human-Centric Scenes Across Surveillance, Occupational Portraits, AI-Edited Images, and Short-Form Video
We introduce HumanCentric-Scenes-AI, a human-curated dataset of 296 AI-generated stimuli that depict people across four contexts in which people encounter AI-generated media.MHeatmap: Two-Walk Laplacian Reordering and Mosaic Layout for Rectangular Matrix Visualization
Weighted rectangular matrices record relations between two types of objects, such as occupations and industries, documents and terms, origins and destinations, or annotated classes and computed…From AI-Free Gates to AI-First Work: How Engineering Students in India Navigate University Education and Career Preparation Without AI Guidelines
Engineering graduates in India enter a technology sector that is being reshaped by generative AI, yet the route into that sector runs through examinations and campus placement screens that largely…Motivation and Contribution in Open Source Software: A Meta-Analytic Investigation
Research on why people contribute to open source software (OSS) and related open collaboration platforms spans more than two decades, but its findings conflict, and studies often treat the work…Preference Is Not Permission: Personalizing the Auto-Purchase Line in Agentic Commerce
Personalized shopping benchmarks ask which item fits the user; we ask how far an agent may commit on that item, and pose learning the individual's auto-purchase line as a task.A Stratified Multi-Rater Evaluation of LLM-Based Virtual Standardized Patients with a Deployed Data-Generation Platform
The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is widely used to assess clinical communication skills in medical education, requiring trainees to take histories and reason clinically with…Beyond Small Talk: Modeling Disclosure Trajectories in Human-AI Conversation
Recently, we see a rise in conversational agents as a form of social and emotional support, where disclosure will unfold over time.VIRA-Bench: Diagnosing Pedagogical Contingency Understanding in Online Tutoring Videos
Understanding a one-to-one tutoring video requires more than recognizing its events.The Serendiptionnaire: a Questionnaire for Measuring Experienced Serendipity
Serendipity is important to design for, yet it remains difficult to measure and evaluate.From Acceptance and Avoidance to Affective Viscosity: Designing Social Agents Intermediating in Human Relationships
As social agents become embedded in human relationships, they are expected not only to provide smooth assistance but also to handle rejection, discomfort, jealousy, persistence, and other forms of…The Privacy Paradox Is a Misnomer: Data Under Structural Uncertainty
The infamous privacy paradox refers to the apparent inconsistency between people's stated concern for privacy and their readiness to disclose personal information.Privacy Preference Controls for Agentic Systems
In response to vast and widespread online tracking, regulators and technologists alike have worked to develop laws and tools that allow people to express their privacy preferences.Measurement-Guided Conversion of Laboratory Eye-Tracking Data for VR Authentication
Eye-movement authentication in virtual reality (VR) needs longitudinal training data, yet most such datasets come from lab trackers.Measuring undergraduate students' reliance on generative AI during problem-solving: Scale development and validation
Reliance on AI describes the behavioral patterns of when and how individuals depend on AI suggestions, and appropriate reliance patterns are necessary to achieve effective human-AI collaboration.Exploring spatial configuration and group familiarity when co-watching 360-degree stories in social virtual reality
While traditional cinematic viewing is often characterized as a social experience, engaging with immersive stories is predominantly researched as an individual activity.
