A latent dimension of Condorcet's jury theorem for multiple AI advisers

The way advisers split provides a common basis for predictive multiplicity, reconciliation load, and reliance miscalibration and separate aggregation from disclosure and turn the latter into testable questions about how disagreement should be presented and interpreted.

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. Is research shifting from deep specialization toward broad individual knowledge? We examine this proposition across papers, cited knowledge, contributor histories, and teams using 47,959 articles from six fields over...

Assessing the applicability of existing design recommendations to AI companion design: A multi-method study

This work document a systematic, multi-method problem analysis that uses nine design principle areas as an analytic artifact to examine why existing recommendations cannot be directly transferred to AI companion contexts.

Rethinking the Implications of Human Feedback for Preference Learning in Human-Robot Collaboration

IMPLIED is an implication modeling method that treats fixed-rule implications as an initial guide while learning to infer and revise accepted and rejected action labels over time, and predicts human implications more accurately than the fixed rule approach and LLM baselines, approaching the performance of a human-label...

Oops, Not Now: PEARL, a RAG-Based Support Agent for Gameplay and What Players Want from AI Help

AI-powered gameplay support agents hold promise for game-based learning, yet grounding generative models in structured game data remains an open challenge. We present PEARL (Parallel Education Agent for Reflection and Learning), a dual-component Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that combines semantic knowled...

FaithfulBench: Does AI Counsel Uphold or Undermine the User's Professed Faith?

Do AI assistants help believers reason about moral dilemmas consistently with their faith? We present FaithfulBench, the first benchmark to score AI counsel across traditions by how well it adheres to the user's professed faith. Scenarios are drawn from each tradition's most respected texts, with the faithful answer kn...

Are LLMs Good Financial User Simulators? A Preliminary Study

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as user simulators, but their ability to reproduce evolving individual financial decisions remains unclear. We present a preliminary study in a controlled paper-trading environment with 120 volunteers. Participants used non-redeemable virtual funds under real-time mark...

Data storytelling meets interpretable machine learning: Decoding AI decisions for non-experts without revealing sensitive data and model details

This study proposes a formal definition of data storytelling in IML, introduces the DIST Pyramid to align data storytelling with IML, and presents the I-P-O Model to describe their interactions, and develops an architecture to explain AI decisions through distinct "What-if" and "Why-not" event-generation processes.

How User-AI Mistreatment Occurs and Matters in Conversational Systems?

It is found that user hostility varies 13-fold across models, driven largely by who each model attracts rather than by model behaviour: first-turn hostility spreads far wider than post-response hostility, and more than fifteenfold separates the extremes even after deduplicating opening prompts.

Root-Cause Attribution Is a Search Problem: Continual Search for Long-Horizon Agent Failures

The increasing deployment of AI agents in long-horizon tasks yields massive execution logs. Diagnosing failures within these records is crucial for reliability, as it transforms outcome-level signals into actionable interventions. The sheer scale of the data renders human review impractical, driving the need for automa...

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…

Q&A: How AI came to model the “messy” human mind

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
