An offline language-based support tool is presented to assist pilot training and tactical decision-making in air combat operations. The system, named MATE (Mission Assistant for Training and Evaluation), applies retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to answer natural language questions using content extracted from doctr...
Personal email agents decide, for every message, what it is, whether it is urgent, whether to draft a reply, create a task, or ignore it. Their error rate is rarely measured: the stored labels were written by the system itself. We present Foyer, a self-hosted personal inbox agent in daily use, and a measurement protoco...
Wireless electromyography (EMG) interfaces must balance electrode coverage against transmission bandwidth. Here, we show that compact EMG tokens substantially reduce payload while retaining information for three-dimensional hand-pose decoding. We evaluate two causal tokenizers fitted without pose labels: an encoder pre...

Effective human-machine teaming requires agents that coordinate with unpredictable human partners. Reinforcement learning from live human feedback or large behavioural datasets is expensive, while purely simulated training overfits to artificial conventions and fails at Zero-Shot Coordination with real people. We propo...

As large language models engage in extended reasoning tasks, they accumulate significant state -- architectural mappings, trade-off decisions, codebase conventions -- within the context window. This understanding is lost when sessions reach context limits and undergo lossy compaction. We propose Contextual Memory Virtu...
LLMs are increasingly used for mental health support, yet they can produce responses that are overly directive, inconsistent, or clinically misaligned. Most risk mitigation approaches rely on implicit alignment through training or prompting, offering limited runtime accountability. We introduce PAIR-SAFE, a paired-agen...

As human-AI interactions increasingly reshape social and research landscapes, the risks of overreliance, cognitive offloading, and the nuanced degradation of human agency have become more apparent. This paper addresses these challenges by introducing a novel conceptual framework based on the psychological triad: cognit...
Coding agents are rapidly advancing from single-file generation to long-horizon repository-scale engineering, yet the evaluation of their capabilities to author interactive extended reality (XR) applications remains an open challenge. Unlike traditional software, XR applications operate within dynamic 3D physical envir...

Many LLM studies compare how models respond to different follow-up prompts. For example, one prompt may neutrally ask a model to reconsider, while another insists that an invented film really exists. The difference is used to measure the effect of conversational pressure. An automatic scorer then labels whether each re...
A taxonomy of enforceable privacy preferences for agentic systems is developed, informed both by laws and empirical studies of existing privacy tools as well as an audit of 30 leading AI assistants and agent platforms.

Simulated patients offer a scalable way to train psychotherapy micro-skills such as empathic responding and exploratory probing, but current systems either follow fixed scripts or rely on LLMs that drift unpredictably over long sessions. We present the Adaptive Virtual Patient (AVP), which adapts its disclosure behavio...

MoT demonstrates that combining UML modeling with low-code execution is feasible and valuable for CoT systems, and advances practical, model-driven CoT engineering and opens avenues for broader industrial adoption.
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…
