Examining the Difference in Human Behavior Between Virtual and Real-World Human-Robot Teaming
Prototyping and evaluating human-robot teaming (HRT) scenarios in the real-world is costly.Affora: A Design System for Agent-Friendly Interfaces
Computer-use agents increasingly operate software designed for people, but interfaces often leave actions or task state unclear to machine readers.''Bless his heart... he thought all we did was push a button": Understanding Worker Challenges with U.S. Election Technology
This paper explores how the technologies U.S. election officials depend on also challenge their work.OHRID-Retail: An Open Multimodal Dataset of Human Activity in Retail Environments
Open datasets describing human behavior in environments shared with mobile robots remain limited, particularly for retail activities that combine locomotion, reaching, object handling, and robot…A multimodal large language model for evidence-based autism spectrum disorder screening
The clinical management of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) faces a bottleneck in early screening, mainly because trained specialists are scarce and conventional assessment tools are subjective.Beyond Gestures: Estimating Full Hand Pose and Contact Forces from Wrist-Worn Pressure Sensor Array
Capturing hand motion and interaction forces is critical for interactive computing, VR, and high-fidelity tactile demonstrations for robot learning.Available but Unclaimed: An Empirical Study of Human-AI Synergy
People increasingly reason with large language models (LLMs), yet complementary capabilities do not guarantee outperforming both components.The Evolution of Coordination in a Collective Intelligence System: 25 Years of English Wikipedia and the Emergence of Generative AI
English Wikipedia is one of the largest examples of collective intelligence on the Web, sustained not only by article production but also by volunteer coordination and governance.Disrupted Companionship: A Risk Assessment Framework and Cross-Platform Quantitative Analysis of Psychosocial Responses to AI Companion Disruptions
AI companions can provide meaningful relationships, yet these relationships remain vulnerable to platform-initiated changes.Beyond Measurement Metrics: A Human-Centered Framework for Semantic Validation of Network Traffic Classification
Machine learning (ML) has become the dominant approach for network traffic classification, achieving very high predictive performance.Neuro-Symbolic Hierarchical Intention Anticipation in Human Behavior
Assistive autonomous systems must anticipate human goals before an observed behavior is complete.Beyond "ChatGPT Can Make Mistakes": Designing Interventions to Support Metacognitive Monitoring in AI-Assisted Work
AI assistance places a metacognitive demand on users, who must judge their own competence and the system's.Evaluating Ambient Clinical Scribes in India: The Need for Multilingual Real-World Clinical Conversation Data
Ambient clinical scribes (ACS) are being rapidly deployed at scale across Global South healthcare settings, aiming to reduce clinician documentation time, especially in overburdened environments…Lexplorer: Navigating the Complexity of Legal Document Landscapes
As technological and social innovations create novel regulatory challenges, legal systems grow in complexity - increasing the need for interfaces that enable effective interactions with legal…CareMirror: Bringing Caregiver Wellbeing into the Dementia Care Ecosystem
Family caregivers of people living with dementia shoulder emotional and practical responsibilities, yet their own wellbeing often remains peripheral to dementia care.Participant-Mediated Collection of Sensitive Digital Trace Data: The CANDOR Research Infrastructure
Digital trace data provide rich measures of behavior in everyday settings, but the research ecosystem supporting their collection is constrained by declining platform API access and a historical…Lexara-RF: Reference-Free Metrics for Evaluating Conversational Visual Analytics Agents
Conversational visual analytics (CVA) agents powered by large language models generate visualizations and natural-language explanations from open-ended queries.Learning Heterogeneous Preferences
Learning from human feedback has become a central paradigm for training modern AI systems, where models of human utility are used as reward models in policy learning.Does AI Assistance Leave a Temporal Fingerprint? Detecting Overreliance in AI-Assisted Writing and Programming
The rapid adoption of generative AI has made final artifacts unreliable evidence of student learning, and AI detectors that examine only the finished product are inaccurate and ethically contentious.MedVA: An End-to-End Neuro-Symbolic Agentic System for Medical Volume Visualization
Medical volume visualization requires selecting regions of interest (ROIs) and carefully controlling their relative visual emphasis according to a given clinical intent.
