ValiAssist: Scaling LLM-generated Programming Feedback Validation by Demonstration

Generative AI can create programming feedback at scale, but validating its alignment with instructors' pedagogical goals and strategies remains challenging. Instructors may struggle to fully specify validation criteria upfront, as these often emerge through inspecting concrete examples and revising misaligned feedback....

When LLMs Manipulate: Measuring Behavioral, Social, and Temporal Effects

Large language models (LLMs) can influence user trust and decision-making through subtle linguistic cues, yet the behavioral effects of manipulative outputs remain poorly quantified. We introduce a behavioral computing framework for measuring \textit{behavioral vulnerability}, defined as users'susceptibility to manipul...

Act on Your Behalf, Beyond Your Authorization: Benchmarking LLM Agent Authorization Alignment

The results show that task capability, additional reasoning, and consequence-oriented safety evaluation do not by themselves ensure authorization alignment, pointing to a tension between agent autonomy and preserving users'decision authority that calls for further human-centered study.

ATWL: A Formal Language for Representing, Comparing, and Reusing Visual Analytics Workflows

Visual analytics (VA) workflows combine data transformation, feature computation, visual representation, and human interpretation, but they are usually described in prose. This hinders comparison of workflows, reuse of proven strategies, and training of novices. We present Artifact--Transform Workflow Language (ATWL),...

Inter- and Intra-Subject Variability in EEG: A Systematic Survey

Electroencephalography (EEG) underpins neuroscience, clinical neurophysiology, and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), yet pronounced inter- and intra-subject variability limits reliability, reproducibility, and translation. This systematic review studies that quantified or modeled EEG variability across resting-state, e...

From Searchable to Non-Searchable: Generative AI and Information Diversity in Online Information Seeking

Conversational generative AI systems such as ChatGPT are transforming how people seek and engage with information online. Unlike traditional search engines, these systems support open-ended, conversational inquiry, yet it remains unclear whether they ultimately expand or constrain the diversity of knowledge that users...

Lonely Individuals Show Distinct Patterns of Social Media Engagement

Loneliness has reached epidemic proportions globally, posing serious risks to mental and physical health. As social media platforms increasingly mediate social interaction, understanding their relationship with loneliness has become urgent. While survey-based research has examined social media use and loneliness, findi...

QuAD: Quantitative Assessment via Distribution-Alignment for Qualitative Data Quality Enabled by a Content-Aware Multi-Agent System

QuAD, a framework for quantitative pre-analysis assessment of qualitative response datasets, is introduced and a content-aware multi-agent system with two-stage instruction generation and adaptive anchors to improve scoring consistency is proposed.

From GAN-Based Models to GPT-5: A Taxonomy-Guided Study of Human Performance in Detecting Deepfake Face Images

Generative models for deepfakes have rapidly evolved from GAN-based architectures to diffusion models and multimodal large language models (MLLMs). However, empirical research on human performance in detecting deepfake face images has not kept pace. It remains unclear if (and how) detection performance varies across ge...

MultiPASE: Shape-Aware Comparative 3D Genome Analysis

MultiPASE, a computational pipeline for comparative analysis of reconstructed 3D genome structures represented as gene-level spatial point clouds, is presented and shows how the approach reveals condition-dependent structural changes that are difficult to interpret from raw 3D structures alone.

Harness-Driven Agentic Operation of Optical Pooled Screen Analysis

Optical pooled screens connect genetic perturbations to changes in cell morphology and behavior, but turning the microscopy data into interpretable results takes complex, multi-day analyses. Established pipelines process this data, yet researchers still select parameters, inspect outputs, and resolve failures for each...

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.
