Neurophysiological Insights into Multimedia-based Education: A PRISMA-ScR Review of fNIRS in Game-Integrated Learning Systems

This scoping review follows PRISMA-ScR and synthesizes 20 empirical studies published between 2014 and 2025, identified through searches updated in April 2026, in which functional near-infrared spectroscopy measured task-related cortical hemodynamic responses during GILS use.

Who Is Sycophantic to Whom? Confident LLMs, Human Deference, and the Collapse of Trust Calibration

A baseline-corrected Human Deference Index is introduced to quantify this human-side sycophancy and argues that trustworthiness is a property of the human-AI pair, that sycophancy evaluations should measure both directions, and that learning interfaces must make reliability legible claim by claim.

Contestable Agents for Data Governance: Recording Human Stewardship of AI-Generated Metadata Across Structured and Unstructured Systems

This work presents contestable governance: specialist agents produce scored, cited arguments for disputed metadata decisions; a steward can accept, reject, modify, or add arguments before commit; and a governance record retains the evidence, interventions, and outcome.

PointerBench: A Diagnostic Benchmark for Fine-Grained GUI Grounding

POINTERBENCH is introduced, a diagnostic suite of 1,500 screenshot-instruction pairs probing three complementary capabilities: thin sub-element identification and geometric grounding in spreadsheets, character-level grounding in long-text documents, and mixed GUI grounding across 100 professional applications (POINTERB...

AVAtt: A Free-Viewing Eye-Tracking Dataset and Benchmark for Visual Attention on Paintings

avatt, a free-viewing eye-tracking dataset on paintings spanning sixteen art movements and five centuries, is introduced, showing that faces are fixated more than expected and within half a second, that local structure draws the eye, that composition rules fitted from image content predict where people look, and that a...

Data-Void Exploits in Web-Searching LLMs

Data voids are established as a practical inference-time attack surface for manipulating web-searching LLMs through strategically placed web content and highlight the urgent need for defenses against such exploits.

Supporting or Replacing Students'Reasoning? Cognitive Offloading in AI-Assisted Proof Learning

A mediation analysis showed a significant indirect association linking lower baseline self-efficacy to greater chatbot use and, in turn, lower exam scores, raising concerns that students may use the chatbot to offload their cognitive reasoning.

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…
