VirSqueezer: Generating Realistic Deformations and Squeezing Dynamics in VR from Fine-Grained Squeezing Controls

This work introduces VirSqueezer, a framework designed to generate both localized deformations and complex squeezing dynamics, such as rupture and overflow, and enables the generation of physically realistic visual effects directly from continuous, fine-grained squeezing control signals.

Orthogonal Ensembles and Tested Explanations for Performer-Independent Body-Motion Emotion Recognition

This central contribution is a tested explanation suite: for a strong ensemble member, part-masking and counterfactual edits show that its decisions depend on motion-grounded body-region evidence, and this region saliency aligns with rule-based Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) attributes far more than with classical kinem...

TUX: Measuring Human-AI Tacit Understanding

A spectrum-placement task inspired by the social party game Wavelength is developed, which suggests that TUX provides a measurable behavioral signal of human--LLM tacit understanding, while revealing the limits of profile-based conditioning for capturing deeper representational alignment.

Culturally Grounded Personas in Large Language Models: Characterization and Alignment with Socio-Psychological Value Frameworks

Despite the growing utility of Large Language Models (LLMs) for simulating human behavior, the extent to which these synthetic personas accurately reflect world and moral value systems across different cultural conditionings remains uncertain. This paper investigates the alignment of synthetic, culturally-grounded pers...

Medical Heuristic Learning: An LLM-Driven Framework for Interpretable and Auditable Clinical Decision Rules

Comprehensive experiments show that MHL achieves predictive performance comparable to that of state-of-the-art methods, performs favorably in small-sample and highly imbalanced settings, and supports the transfer and adaptive revision of validated rules under feature evolution.

From Prompt to Service: An SLM-Based Agent Orchestration Gateway for AI-Driven Virtual Worlds

An SLM-based Agent Orchestration Gateway is presented, a lightweight runtime coordination mechanism that decouples a virtual world client from heterogeneous AI backends through intent-driven service routing, and the findings show that SLMs can support practical AI service orchestration in virtual worlds.

Modeling and Optimizing User Preferences in AI Copilots: A Comprehensive Survey and Taxonomy

AI copilots represent a new generation of AI-powered systems designed to assist users, particularly knowledge workers and developers, in complex, context-rich tasks. As these systems become more embedded in daily workflows, personalization has emerged as a critical factor for improving usability, effectiveness, and use...

Towards a Foundational Ontology for Identifying and Resolving Contradictions in Dialogue-based Human-Robot Interactions

Existing Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) literature has focused on identifying and structuring errors, failures, conflicts, and knowledge issues (called in this work as contradictions) in domain-specific dialogue-based interactions. However, there is still lack of a formal computational framework to represent and define...

Knowing Is Not Enough: Information Retrievability as a Precondition to Effective LLM Oversight

This work develops an alternative, retrieval-based account of human oversight and posit that error detection is more effective when oversight-relevant information is accessible to users at the moment of review, and shows that self-generated explanations improve error detection and strengthen recall of verification-rele...

ChartAnno: Evaluating MLLMs for Chart Annotation Generation

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made significant progress in chart understanding, generation, and editing, but their ability to annotate existing charts remains underexplored. Annotating charts is a common yet challenging communicative task, requiring models to infer intended messages, interpret chart sem...

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.
