The rapid advancement of image-to-text extraction systems and large language models (LLMs) poses new challenges for educational assessment by making assignment materials easy to transcribe and solve with minimal human effort. To address this problem, we present AIRRI (Artificial Intelligence Resilient Reading Interface...
Explanations of LLM outputs are considered an important way to make model behavior legible, helping human users make good decisions on downstream tasks. However, default training approaches for improving explanations target model task performance or human preference rather than human decision quality. To bridge this ga...
Organizations pairing a human and a machine on a task decide, often by default, which executes each instance and what happens when both do. We account for what this attains under the squared rule, with performance distributed over instances to capture generalization difficulty. A gross stake lies between the skills'mea...
Human-in-the-loop optimization refers to systems that present choices to a human decision-maker and query their judgment to optimize system parameters iteratively. The user interface typically provides either an absolute rating scale or asks for a preferred option. However, these approaches can potentially suffer from...

Advanced AI assistants engage users in extended interactions across a widening range of roles, including advice, decision support, collaboration, learning, emotional support, and companionship among others. Current alignment efforts consider what alignment criteria should govern these relationships, drawing on moral tr...
A novel annotation process for AII is contributed that accounts for a perceiver's own interpretative tendencies and quantitative and qualitative analyses of intent narratives with respect to diversity, plausibility and grounding.
Audio description (AD) narrates visual elements in video for blind and low-vision audiences. Recent work has shown that giving novice describers an AI-generated draft to start from helps produce higher-quality AD and lowers the barrier to entry. What remains an open question is how draft quality shapes the editing proc...
Recent agentic systems demonstrate that large language models can generate complex codebases from natural language prompts. Despite this progress, they present reliability concerns for scientific visualization due to invalid operations, subtle errors, and failure to resolve underspecified inputs. These challenges are c...
We propose co-creative learning as a novel paradigm where humans and AI, i.e., biological and artificial agents, mutually integrate their partial perceptual information and knowledge to construct shared external representations, a process we interpret as symbol emergence. Unlike traditional AI teaching based on unilate...
LLM-based agent judges are an emerging approach to evaluating conversational AI, yet a fundamental uncertainty remains: can we trust their assessments, and if so, how many are needed? Through 960 sessions with two model pairs across 15 tasks, we show that persona-based agent judges produce evaluations indistinguishable...
Recent advances in zero-shot voice cloning systems make it possible to reproduce a recognizable voice from a short recording and attach it to arbitrary virtual characters. Prior work suggests that familiar vocal identity can carry over associated personality impressions to new targets such as robots or virtual characte...
Existing human-centred XAI research predominantly evaluates explanations after they have been generated. However, this fails to provide actionable insights into improving accessibility. This study incorporates human-based feature understandability into feature selection to improve the generation of human-centred explan...
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.
During the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences’ 75th Anniversary Symposium, President Sally Kornbluth said “MIT has never needed your particular insight and guidance more than we do now.”
Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
“X-Hinges” helps design and 3D print items like lamps and gloves with an interactive twist: automatically embedded sensors that perceive and adaptively respond to human contact.
