This position paper argues that human-centered explainable AI (HCXAI) should incorporate insights from the psychology of information seeking. Drawing on Sharot and Sunstein's framework of information-seeking motives, we propose that people evaluate whether to engage with explanations based on three types of expected ut...
Initial evidence is provided that RMET can be studied as a process-aware assessment task in controlled VR and desktop settings and that VR received higher usability ratings and was also rated as more effortful.
An Evaluation Agent, middleware that combines Natural Language Inference factual verification, a five-signal poison detector with relevance-weighted aggregation, and a Trust Index is proposed, which reliably blocks instruction injection of unsafe advice while contradiction and subtle semantic weakening remain hard.

Evidence is found for two mechanisms behind the learning gains: students shift time away from drafting text and toward reading and searching for information, and they report greater learning enjoyment.

A partially-automated method for assessing LLM knowledge of a security area using authoritative information from Consumer Protection Agencies to identify instability in LLM responses that can be indicative of knowledge gaps is introduced.

This work contributes an empirical, practitioner-driven analysis of LLM use across SOC roles and organizations and derives concrete design and integration requirements for human-centered, operationally safe LLM-assisted security operations.

The work shows how generative AI can mediate engagement with poetic heritage in culturally grounded emotional-support interactions and suggests that culturally grounded content and structured guidance should anchor system design, while multimodal presentation may strengthen resonance and engagement.

ProphDR is an interpretable deep learning framework that integrates multiomics data and drug structural information using a hierarchical attention mechanism, and generates biologically interpretable attention maps that highlight key pharmacophores and resistance-related genes consistent with established mechanisms in N...

These findings show that reliable evaluation of LLM-generated code requires validated ground truth, protected tests, and multiple explicitly interpreted measures, and that CodeAssay provides a reproducible basis for evidence-based model evaluation in AI-augmented software development.

The first comprehensive benchmarking framework specifically designed to accommodate inter-dataset heterogeneity is presented, finding that well-designed small datasets can match or even surpass the performance of larger benchmarks, suggesting that different metrics are applicable to different datasets/testing scenarios...

A novel committor learning framework grounded in the AlphaFold 3 paradigm is proposed that elucidates how ligand substituents regulate the ratio between distinct binding pathways, offering new perspectives for structure-based drug design.

Current structure-based drug design generative models often struggle to faithfully recapitulate genuine ligand-protein binding interactions. Instead, under the coupling of implicit learning architectures and biased training data, they tend to learn spurious statistical correlations. To address this, we propose EIP-Diff...

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…
