Speech transcription errors can be difficult to recognize when competing word hypotheses are unfamiliar or visually similar. We describe an interface that combines alternative transcripts, replay and contextually checked pictograms for selected uncertain concepts. The system will initially support French and Spanish fu...

This paper presents a keyword spotting (KWS) system implemented on the NXP MCXN947 microcontroller with an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU), enabling real-time voice interaction on resource-constrained devices. The system combines MFCC feature extraction with a CNN classifier, optimized using Quantization Aware...
Wearable devices are increasingly used as tools for biomedical research, as the continuous stream of behavioral and physiological data they collect can provide insights about our health in everyday contexts. Long-term tracking, defined in the timescale of months of year, can provide insights of patterns and changes as...
Decomposing surface electromyography (EMG) into the spike trains of individual motor neurons is a long-standing inverse problem and a key step toward motor-neuron-driven neural interfaces such as prosthetics and exoskeletons. The standard approach, independent component analysis (ICA) of the multichannel signal, assume...

A personalizable transformer-based model mapping individuals'muscle activations to prescribed contact force trajectories when interacting with an end-effector rehabilitation robot to establish a foundation for future validation in clinical populations and provide a proof of concept for data-driven, activation-targeted...

Explainable AI (XAI) methods are commonly evaluated using functional correctness metrics, also called faithfulness or fidelity, which estimate how closely an explanation reflects the model's reasoning. Higher correctness is assumed to produce better human understanding, but this link has not been tested with controlled...

Language-generating AI systems are no longer only objects of linguistic interaction: their outputs increasingly re-enter the communicative and institutional practices from which their training material was drawn. Drawing on social theory, social epistemology, and the philosophy of language, this article develops a soci...

Head pose estimation is important for human computer interaction and driver monitoring, but many image based methods remain too costly for resource constrained deployment. We propose STAG-Net, a structure-aware attention over landmark groups for lightweight head Pose estimation that estimates head pose from facial land...
Armed conflict can increase the value of Generative AI (GenAI) while undermining the conditions required for its responsible use. Yet the perspectives of community-based humanitarian responders working under these conditions remain underrepresented in responsible AI research. We examine GenAI use in Sudan's Emergency R...

Simulated collaboration reveals that, over the course of proof construction, AI agents are far more strongly drawn than humans to explicitly marked gaps; show a relative aversion to densely connected proof centers and to complex or surprising proof goals; and are relatively attracted to surprising proof bodies.
Writing assistants use persistent preferences to personalize responses, but these can conflict with the current request. Responses can meet every requirement yet serve the task poorly, while task failures need not involve following a conflicting preference. We introduce Profile Conflict Arbitration (PCA-Bench), a bench...
Embodying non-human body parts in VR is a prevalent practice among certain subcultures and is a personally important creative outlet to many individuals. However, the discrepant morphology between real and virtual bodies can decrease Sense of Embodiment (SoE). Haptic feedback can compensate by increasing SoE felt towar...

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…
Professor Paris Smaragdis develops computers with superhuman hearing for applications like speech recognition, music understanding, and environmental monitoring.
