Context Matters! Social, Spatial, and Semantic Coordination with an Embodied Agent in Immersive Analytics
Embodied AI agents in Augmented Reality (AR) could enable more natural collaboration in immersive analytics by engaging users through spatial, conversational, and visual interaction.A Systematic and Validated Translation of the Perceived Empathy of Technology Scale to Chinese
The Perceived Empathy of Technology Scale (PETS) allows evaluation of empathic behavior in intelligent systems, a concept increasingly applied in human-AI interaction, particularly in emotional and…From Sketch to Scene: Relightable Garment Reconstruction from Marked Sketches
Sketching is one of the most natural ways for people to express visual ideas.Following Delegation Traces to Study Human Oversight in Interaction with Multimodal AI
As multimodal AI systems are becoming our everyday thought partners, the shift towards studying how users transfer control to these systems becomes especially urgent.Why Users Stop at Good Enough: Applying Bounded Rationality to Self-Service Restaurant Display Interactions
This paper investigates user interaction with digital displays in self-service restaurant environments, focusing on the phenomenon where users often settle for good enough interactions rather than…Inflak: A Unified Orchestration Architecture for Human-Agent Interaction
LLM-powered agents increasingly support open-ended activities, yet orchestrating when and how agents interact with humans remains challenging.Asking Smarter Questions: Targeted Active Preference Learning for Underspecified Rewards
Reward learning typically assumes the human's input covers everything that matters for the task.Author-in-the-loop Agentic Reproducibility Auditing for a Machine Learning Conference
Reproducibility checks during peer review require a shared understanding of what authors' code is expected to reproduce.Harness-Driven Agentic Operation of Optical Pooled Screen Analysis
Optical pooled screens connect genetic perturbations to changes in cell morphology and behavior, but turning the microscopy data into interpretable results takes complex, multi-day analyses.Risk and Refusal: Mechanisms of LLM Responses to Suicidal Ideation
Refusal is a common safety mechanism in large language models (LLMs), yet in contexts of suicidal ideation (SI), refusing to engage can itself constitute a safety failure.A misinformation playbook sharpens judgement without breeding cynicism
Misinformation harms public health and democracy, and generative artificial intelligence now writes falsehoods as persuasive as people's.ElectroCalm: Investigating User Experience and Physiological Responses to Multi-Node Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation for Stress Modulation
Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation (TES) for stress modulation has largely focused on vagus nerve stimulation at the neck, yet two questions remain underexplored: how users experience…Beyond Explicit Intent: Discovering and Shaping Artistic Intent through Human-AI Co-Creation
Generative AI is becoming an important medium for artistic creation, yet existing interactions often assume that creators can specify intentions in advance and accurately communicate them through…Beyond Initial Creation: Two Decades of Community-based Chart Revisions from Wikimedia Commons
Open online communities like Wikipedia offer a rich space for understanding the organic evolution of public-facing artifacts, but little is known about how these communities collectively edit chart…"The Rose Garden Is a Cemetery": Spatial Dissonance and Divergent Public Experiences of an Indigenous Augmented Reality Tour
Community-authored augmented reality (AR) can contest dominant heritage narratives by juxtaposing stories with physical surroundings.Measuring and Reducing Unusable Replies of LLM Agents
People delegate multi-step work to LLM agents and read only the reply that the agent hands back.DeltaStreamer: Towards Human-Like Agentic Streaming Video Understanding
We propose DeltaStreamer, a novel agentic framework for streaming video understanding inspired by how humans observe, remember, and investigate.AdaptaFace: Adversarial Assistance for Inclusive Facial Gesture Interaction
Facial gestures can enable access for people with motor impairments (PwM), yet recognizers may not reliably interpret individual facial movement patterns.Think Once, Reflect Twice: How Feedback Shapes Human-AI Collaboration
As artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly supports human decision-making in high-stakes domains, designing effective human-AI collaboration becomes critical.ShadAR: Real-time Prompting On-demand Visual Augmentation in Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality can reshape our visual perception (e.g., simulating color blindness) yet such effects are typically pre-programmed by experts, making visual augmentation static and inflexible.
