Varifocal Displays Reduce the Impact of the Vergence-Accommodation Conflict on 3D Pointing Performance in Augmented Reality Systems

Overall, varifocal viewing yielded significantly higher performance than the fixed-focal baseline across key interaction metrics, although the magnitude and even the direction of the benefit varied across individuals.

Toward Scalable Audio Description Quality Control: A Workflow for Evaluating Human and VLM Raters

This work developed a methodological workflow using Item Response Theory to evaluate VLM and human rater proficiency against expert-established ground truth, suggesting that top-performing VLMs can approximate ground-truth ratings at levels comparable to human raters.

Beyond Reconstruction: What EEG-to-Video Decoding Actually Recovers

Results show that EEG exhibits a consistent visual and emotional structure that can support dynamic video generation, whereas current reconstruction primarily reflects coarse stimulus-level information rather than fine-grained, trial-specific decoding.

NoteFlow: Leveraging Charts as Sight Glasses for Consistent and Continuous Data Flow Tracing

NoteFlow is a notebook extension that leverages charts as “sight glasses” to provide a consistent and continuous tracing of data flow and trace the global evolution of selected charts to continuously observe how particular data attributes evolve throughout the EDA process.

Domain-Grounded Tool Orchestration for LLM-Guided Scientific Analysis

This work presents an architecture that separates intent interpretation (LLM) from execution (deterministic domain tools) from explanation (LLM), connected by the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and grounded by domain ontologies that constrain planning to valid analysis chains.

Augmenting Human Performance with an XR Agent Learning from Online Behavior and BCI Evidence

It is shown that passive EEG, fused online with behavioral evidence, can meaningfully extend the number of targets users detect and engage beyond their unaided action bandwidth, and that OLIVE Pareto-dominates prior test-time adaptation frameworks, achieving the highest convergence rate at comparable convergence speed.

Co-Annotator: Expert-Distilled ViT and VLM for Visual and Documentation Guidance in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Co-Annotator is presented, which distills expert gaze and dictation into two guidance components: a gaze-aligned Vision Transformer producing fixation-aligned areas of interest (AOIs), and an ontology-bounded vision-language model (VLM) that pre-fills editable biomarker summaries for retinal optical coherence tomograph...

GuardianAgent: Policy-Conditioned Risk-Adaptive Anonymization with Verified Adversarial Escalation

GuardianAgent, a policy-conditioned anonymization framework that couples structured risk assessment with verified adaptive rewriting, achieves the strongest privacy-utility trade-off among published baselines and is the only method to reach more than 0.90 privacy in all three domains, remaining robust under a backbone...

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.
