Beyond Truth Discovery: A Two-Stage Framework to Assess the Severity of False Claim during Disasters

This work proposes a two-stage framework to assess the severity of false claims during disasters, and investigates false claim severity assessment as a human-AI alignment problem, evaluating whether models can reproduce human judgments under a shared evaluation rubric rather than merely predicting severity labels.

How Coding Agents Fail Their Users: A Large-Scale Analysis of Developer-Agent Misalignment in 20,574 Real-World Sessions

An observational study of 20,574 coding-agent sessions from 1,639 repositories across IDE and CLI workflows operationalizes misalignment as a breakdown made visible through developer pushback, and annotates each episode along four axes: form, cause, cost, and resolution.

Active Inference with People: a general approach to real-time adaptive experiments

This paper introduces a practical and unified approach to real-time adaptive experiments that can encompass these scenarios across textual, visual, and audio tasks and describes an adaptive treatment assignment strategy that identifies the optimal treatment up to three times as accurately as a fixed design.

Why This and Not That? A Collaborative Reflection Approach for Understanding Thought Coverage in Decision Making Support Dialog

This work pauses a reflection-support agent when it would normally redirect the conversation, surface its observation, and asks users to interpret the pattern and decide how to proceed, and derives a taxonomy of nine interpretation categories and shows that similar reflective states can call for substantially different...

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…
