AREAs-Lab: An Interactive Environment for AI-driven Requirement Elicitation for AI Systems

Building effective AI systems increasingly depends on writing high-quality task requirements, yet users often struggle to articulate the constraints, preferences, and edge cases that determine success. This problem is especially acute in AI development, where behavior is shaped not only by human expectations but also b...

Structured State Reconciliation for Human-AI Task Handover

A provenance-aware pipeline that converts task telemetry and human-authored reports into a shared typed task-state representation, aligns and reconciles their facts, detects conflicts, and generates structured handover reports supports provenance-aware state reconciliation as a design pattern for safer AI-assisted hand...

Delegating Before Learning: Where Generative AI Sits in Students'Professional Communication

This work model the AI-mediated process of writing a student--instructor email at the highest level of involvement, and compares it with an unaided model of writing the same messages, built from participants' accounts and a classic model of the writing process.

Visible but Not Yet Curatable: Characterizing the Curatability of Compact and Derived Open LLM Artifacts

A minimal seven-field curatable record is derived and complementary responsibilities for model hubs, scholarly indexes, and digital libraries are derived, providing practical guidance for improving the preservation and bibliographic control of open LLM artifacts.

Bringing Data to Life: Designing Data Characters for the Emotional Self

Data Characters is introduced, a visualization approach that represents affective content in journaling through human-like characters and investigates the potential of character-based representations for conveying affective experiences and explores what visual encodings emerge through customization.

A Conceptual Framework for Modeling Team Adaptation in Cooperative Games Through Ludic Knowledge

A preliminary framework for analyzing adaptability in cooperative games by conceptualizing adaptive stimuli as retrieval or disruption of players'ludic knowledge is presented and offered an initial vocabulary for describing how cooperative games can be designed to create demands for team adaptation.

PsychoAgent: An Affect-Sensitive Cognitive Architecture for Conflict-Aware Memory in LLM Agents

Human-like cognition does not select past experience by topical similarity alone: affective significance and unresolved conflict also shape what becomes accessible. We present PsychoAgent, a cognitive architecture for LLM agents that separates factual and affective memory and integrates both through a conflict-aware ex...

Why It Hurts: Identifying the Drivers of Negative Thoughts in Emotional Support Conversations

The AppraiSal benchmark is introduced, containing 996 emotional support conversations with human-annotated mental states, including salient cognitive appraisal dimensions, and PRISM, a multi-agent probabilistic framework grounded in Bayesian Inverse Planning, designed to improve LLMs'ability to identify context-specifi...

Beyond Helpfulness: A Teaching-over-Solving Diagnostic for Measuring Educational Impact in LLM Tutors

It is argued that public tutoring benchmarks can better support positive-impact evaluation by reporting solving-oriented and pedagogy-oriented scores separately and by making disclosure-sensitive, student-agency-preserving criteria more explicit.

Vision-Language Models Suppress Female Representations Under Ambiguous Input

LALS (Latent Association Leaning Score) is introduced, a zero-shot metric that projects visual-token activations into the model's text-embedding space to measure concept associations per token and layer and shows that culturally loaded visual cues further modulate these internal associations.

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.
