Do Not Trust the Benchmark: Limitations of General LLM Rankings and a Case for Task-Specific Evaluation
Benchmark scores increasingly influence the development, marketing, and selection of large language models (LLMs).OpenRoIS: A Community-Driven Open-Source Middleware Implementing the Robotic Interaction Service (RoIS) Framework for Physical Robots and Virtual Agents
Service applications for human-robot interaction are commonly written against the hardware-specific interfaces of one platform, so a change of hardware forces a rewrite of the application.Two's a Crowd: Human and AI-Based Copresence for Developers with ADHD
Effective collaboration and communication are vital to developer productivity and well-being, yet remain constrained by human factors such as attention, intrinsic motivation, and interpersonal…RobotEQ-Video: A Video-Centric Benchmark for Social Proactive Intelligence with World-State Taxonomy
Social Proactive Intelligence (SPI) extends proactive assistance beyond task completeness to consider social appropriateness in diverse embodied scenarios.MarineCraft: Enabling Rapid Prototyping of Underwater Robots via Modular Construction
Underwater robot development is often hindered by the complexities of waterproofing and wiring, which significantly delay the rapid prototyping process.Do We Care About Personalization and Explainability? An Interview Study with News Recommendation Engineers
Research on explainability in recommender systems largely centers on end users, overlooking the perspectives of those who build and maintain these systems and their potential use cases such as model…GestureFAR: Streaming Co-Speech Gesture Generation with Flow Autoregression
Generating natural co-speech gestures from streaming speech is essential for embodied conversational agents, where motion must be produced while a user is still speaking.Reducing Barriers to Academic Support: Evaluating a Course-Specific RAG System for Addressing Help-Seeking Disparities in Higher Education
Access to academic support is a key determinant of student success, yet students experience it unequally: some readily seek help from lecturers or tutors, while others hesitate due to anxiety, fear…Open Platform Field Experiments: Expanding the Design Space of Experimental Research on Social Media
Despite a growing demand for causal evidence about social media, independent researchers remain severely constrained in their ability to conduct experiments directly on online platforms.Learned Parametric Emotion Editing: Real-Time Affective Filtering for On-Device Social Media Video
Problematic internet use affects a growing share of the population, yet common interventions, e.g., time limits, blocking, forced breaks, are coercive and easily circumvented.An Agentic Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention System for Personalized Sleep Support: Proof-of-Concept Study with N of 1 Data
Just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs) can use behavioral data to adapt support to changing contexts, but many rely on predefined rules and manual configuration.Touvigation: Embodied Adaptive Object Acquisition for Blind and Low-Vision Users in Unfamiliar Indoor Environments
Blind and low-vision users often face challenges when locating and physically acquiring objects in unfamiliar indoor environments.When Should a Failing Robot Ask? Initiating Corrective Human-Robot Dialogue from Audited Sensor Evidence
A robot that fails at a task faces the first decision in corrective dialogue: act on its own diagnosis, consult another onboard sensor, or interrupt a person.Gricea: An Open Science Platform for Conversational AI Research
We need studies on conversational AI (CAI) at scale to understand human behavior and shape CAI design.How Researchers Use and Verify AI Coding Assistants: Tasks and Validation Practices in Scientific Programming
Generative AI has entered research programming, yet there is little evidence about which tasks researchers hand to it or how they decide whether its code is correct.Value-Sensitive Delegation in Everyday AI Agent Use: Evidence from OpenClaw
Users increasingly delegate work to autonomous AI agents, yet evaluations typically measure task completion rather than the values users prioritize.Vox-Infinity: Benchmarking the Limits of Long-Context Spoken Language Models
Long-context understanding remains a fundamental challenge for large language models, as excessively long inputs often lead models to forget salient information.Strategic Classification Has a Missing Lever: Audit Risk
Strategic classification studies how a decision maker should choose a classifier when the agents being classified can adjust their features in response to it.Value Faces: Surfacing How Self-Presentation Shifts Across Relationships
People present different aspects of themselves across relationships.Full-Duplex Speech Models Take the Floor When Asked, Not When Needed
Full-duplex speech models listen and speak at once, promising always-on assistants.
