PeerPen: AI-Assisted Writing for Online Mental Health Peer Support
Online mental health communities thrive on peer support, yet those who volunteer to help often lack formal training and may struggle to articulate supportive responses.Personalizing Personal Health Interfaces: Co-Design with Generative AI
Personal health interfaces present wellbeing data through standardized dashboards that rarely fit how people interpret or act on it.Time Machine Experiments: Using Historically-Bounded AI for Inquiry into the Human Mind
Can interacting with someone from 1930, with no knowledge of what happened after, influence a person's perception of the past?Spook the Machine: Gamified Exploration of Human Imagination of Machine Fear
What happens when AI machines express fear?When AI Companions Disappear: Relational Continuity and Collective Contestation during China's National AI Regulatory Transition
AI model updates and service withdrawals can disrupt relationships with AI companions, but research has largely examined individual platform events.Beyond Retrieval: Scaffolding Children's Online Learning
Children increasingly turn to online information access systems that are primarily designed for the mainstream population, e.g., adults, but possess a limited understanding of how these systems…Beyond AI Literacy: A Structured Review and Exploratory Meta-Analysis of Measures for Competent Generative-AI Use
Researchers assessing competent generative-AI use at work must choose among self-reports, objective tests, and measures of oversight and reliance.Can a Neural Encoding Model Replicate an fMRI Visualization Study?
Most knowledge of graphical perception comes from behavioral studies.More Than Just Access: Generative AI as Communication Intermediary for Blind and Low-Vision Users
Generative AI (GenAI) tools are increasingly woven into how blind and low-vision (BLV) people communicate, not only with digital information, but with the physical world and with other people.Data storytelling meets interpretable machine learning: Decoding AI decisions for non-experts without revealing sensitive data and model details
AI-driven automated decision-making requires both predictive performance and interpretability.Are LLMs Good Financial User Simulators? Multi-view Investor Logic Alignment (MILA)
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as user simulators, yet it remains unclear whether their predictions faithfully reproduce the evolving decisions of individual users.How do people plan digitally: An in-the-wild investigation of task planning through a smartphone app
Daily planning supports goal attainment and productivity, and people increasingly delegate it to digital tools.The CAST-framework: Measure and model social media use as a multi-level phenomenon through real-world applications
Designing social media experiences that support well-being requires understanding when, how, and for whom use matters.Intelligent Interaction Techniques (IIxT) - Proposal
Interaction techniques (IxTs) are the low-level, reusable components out of which user interfaces are designed, including menus, scroll bars, text input fields, and also copy-paste, text-entry, and…From Momentary Emotion Inference to Sustained Emotion Support: Evaluating a Companion Agent in a Longitudinal Study
Sustained emotional support is a long-horizon interaction task closely tied to human well-being.Auto-HSI: Personalized human control of a robot swarm on demand by using LLMs for online automatic code generation
This paper presents Auto-HSI, a method for generating personalized human-swarm interaction (HSI) interfaces on demand.How Humans and LLMs Read Gender into "Gender-Neutral" Physical Descriptions
When foundation models describe people, recent work in AI fairness, accessibility, and ethics recommends avoiding inferred identity labels (e.g., "she", "his") in favor of seemingly "objective"…XRoboToolKit-T: Teleoperation with High Stability and Precision with Tactile Sensing for Contact-rich Manipulation
Collecting high-quality robot data for contact-rich manipulation tasks is essential for enabling robots to acquire real-world skills.Assessing the Applicability of Existing Design Recommendations to AI Companion Design: A Multi-Method Study
With the rapid proliferation of large language model (LLM)-based systems, AI companions have emerged as conversational agents designed to cultivate emotional connection rather than primarily to…Has Scientific Talent Shifted from Depth to Breadth?Evidence across Papers, Knowledge Inputs, Careers, and Teams
Generative artificial intelligence raises a central question for scientific training and organization.
