Using Evidence-Centered Design to Guide Prompt Engineering in Measurement: An Illustration with Automated Essay Scoring
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) models, particularly large language models (LLMs), are increasingly used in educational settings for tasks such as item generation, automated scoring, and…From Instructional Intent to Classroom-Ready Lessons: Investigating Teacher-AI Collaboration in Lesson Authoring for Secondary Computing Education
Generative AI is increasingly studied as a tool for supporting lesson authoring; the creation and adaptation of classroom materials, yet little is known about how it should fit into secondary…Beyond the Monolithic Interface: A Research Agenda for Plural Conversational AI
The current paradigm of artificial intelligence (AI) design elevates conversational chatbot interfaces, making them the default mode through which hundreds of millions of people interact with AI…The AI Side of the Human-AI Companion Relationship: Contributions to Users' Mental Models
For many users, the relationship they have with an AI companion (AIC) feels genuinely mutual.Work2Skill: Capturing Human GUI Experience for Reusable Agent Skill Induction
Computer-use agents can perform increasingly complex GUI tasks, yet unfamiliar software and workflows requiring human domain knowledge remain challenging.How Anthropomorphic Attitudes Toward Agents Divide User Behavior, and How Design Should Change
Studies of conversational agents rely on interviews, surveys, lab tasks, or taxonomies.From Observation to Intervention: Identifiability of Latent User Bias in Human-AI Interaction
Alignment methods typically treat user behavior as a reliable proxy for underlying preferences.olBlend: Language-Guided Molecular Blend Retrieval with Mixture Odor Prediction
Converting open-ended natural-language odor descriptions into molecular mixtures that can be physically prepared from an available inventory remains an important challenge in computational olfaction.HoldLight: Making Indoor Climbing More Accessible for Blind and Low-Vision Climbers through Layered Route Preview and Real-Time Next-Hold Guidance
Indoor climbing creates access barriers for blind and low-vision (BLV) climbers because route understanding and in-climb next-hold localization are typically visually mediated and socially dependent.JitterVLA: A Replay Benchmark for Motion Quality in VLA-Driven Human-Robot Manipulation
Vision-language-action (VLA) policies issue sparse targets whose arrival at the robot controller is delayed and irregular, so a reasonable predicted action can still produce abrupt motion near people.Nimbus Studio reproduces reference BCI decoding pipelines: a validation study on public benchmarks across protocols and paradigms
Nimbus Studio is a visual pipeline platform for brain-computer interface (BCI) experiments: researchers assemble preprocessing, feature extraction, decoding, and evaluation over public benchmark…The AI's Poker Face: Contrasting Persuasion and Sycophancy in Voice-Based Multi-Turn Conversations
As interactions with large language models (LLMs) become increasingly routine, concerns about their capacity to influence users' beliefs grow.Latent World Action Model for GUI Agents
Pixel-space world models have recently emerged as a promising approach for GUI agents, predicting future screens prior to execution and subsequently re-perceiving them for action selection.Who Guides Whom? Negotiating Care, Religious Authority, and Technology in Bangladeshi Muslim Families
Digital technologies are reshaping how families negotiate care, authority, and responsibility, yet these dynamics remain understudied in religiously situated family life.Defective, Amplified, Contested: Folk Conceptualizations of AI Slop
AI slop has flooded social media feeds with overprocessed and derivative content--Jesus fusing with a shrimp, a humanoid orange chubby cat shoplifting, and a "hero" dog rescuing a human child after…Plottery: A Code-Integrated GUI for Matplotlib
Scientists have many tools to author plots: graphical direct manipulation apps like a spreadsheet's chart builder, text-based programming tools like Matplotlib and ggplot2, or AI chat interfaces.Intent Graph: Navigating the Analytical Reasoning Space for Exploratory Data Analysis
Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is rarely open-ended in practice: analysts work from high-level domain questions toward the concrete analyses that can answer them, prioritizing directions with…TAP3D: Thermal-Assisted 3D Human Point Clouds
Human body point clouds are a versatile representation for AI-enabled human sensing.Magic Pen: Automatic Pen Mode Switching for Document Annotation
Traditional digital pen interfaces use menu buttons to change the pen mode, which results in time and cognitive load spent on round-trip interactions and mode errors from tapping small mode…It's Always 10:10: Reference Images Break a Bias That Prompts Only Dent
Text-to-image models appear to reproduce the habits of the photographs they learned from.
