Stayin' Aligned Over Time: Towards Longitudinal Human-LLM Alignment via Contextual Reflection and Privacy-Preserving Behavioral Data

Current human-AI alignment and evaluation methods for large language models (LLMs) often rely on preference signals collected immediately after an interaction. This practice implicitly treats preference as static, even though many LLM-mediated decisions unfold over time and may be re-evaluated differently after real-wo...

Extending the MM-AR Metamodeling Platform with Process Mining Capabilities

Process mining derives process models from event data recorded by information systems, but its results are usually presented as two-dimensional visualizations that are separate from the environments in which enterprise models are created and maintained. Metamodeling platforms for extended reality (XR), such as MM-AR, a...

Better Plans, Better Outcomes: Integrating Historical Data into Student Planning in a Computing Course

Effective planning is critical for academic success, but in many computing courses students often lack accurate benchmarks for assessing the difficulty and time required for academic tasks. This phenomenon is more pronounced in large courses where instructors have limited capacity to provide individualized guidance on...

Haptic Shared Control for Multi-Robot Systems

Multi-agent systems offer significant advantages in terms of flexibility and redundancy, enabling the efficient distribution of complex tasks among multiple robots. However, their deployment requires advanced control strategies to ensure optimal cooperation between autonomous agents and human operators. We propose a mo...

Who Is Doing the Thinking? Characterising Human Agency in First-Year Students' AI Interactions

When students use generative AI to produce their work, the learning process becomes invisible. Established frameworks such as Bloom's taxonomy then classify the cognitive level of what the AI produced, not what the student contributed. We propose the Human Agency Depth Taxonomy (HADT), a preliminary six-tier taxonomy t...

Whose Guardrail? User Identity Shapes the Effectiveness of Model Disclaimers in Mitigating LLM Political Persuasion

Politically biased AI can shift users' opinions, yet it remains unclear whether model disclaimers protect against such persuasion. We report a preregistered experiment (N=1,586) examining how disclaimer design and user characteristics shape susceptibility to politically biased AI. We varied whether disclaimers identifi...

For You, Not for Everyone: Bystander-Aware Delivery of Critical Feedback in Robot Tutoring

Robots in shared settings may expose information intended for an individual user to nearby bystanders. Robot tutoring makes this concern particularly salient: critical feedback is directed at an individual learner, yet bystanders may overhear or see it. To address this, we compared context-invariant and context-adaptiv...

AI for eGovernance: Leveraging Language Technologies For Digital Inclusion

The Kenyan government has invested heavily in the digitisation of public service delivery, in line with the Kenya Digital Master Plan 2022-2032. The national eGovernment platform, eCitizen, hosts services that are vital to citizens' livelihoods, including business registration, youth enterprise lending, digital literac...

Just Between Us? Exploring a Wearable-Mediated Channel for Discreet Human-Agent Interaction in a Shared Game Setting

In shared settings, social robots may need to exchange information with an individual while limiting co-present others' access to or interpretation of that information. Publicly observable speech and gestures may not adequately support such exchanges. We investigate a wearable-mediated channel for discreet interaction...

Making Smell Actionable in Design: Lexicon, Movement Patterns, and Gesture Cards

Smell is powerful in design, yet it often remains vague and difficult to work with in studios and classrooms. While olfactory HCI has produced devices, toolkits, and scenario-based applications, designers still lack teachable, shareable resources that link smell to bodily action. This paper presents a three-phase resea...

Setting the Stage: Enhancing Music Recommendations with Spoken Introductions to Stimulate Serendipity

People like to keep their music listening fresh and interesting, but recommender systems often struggle to support this need. Even when a recommended song is potentially refreshing and enriching, listeners may not perceive it as such. Building on Silvia's appraisal theory of interest, this paper studies whether enhanci...

OmniScribble: Mixed-Initiative Authoring of Animated Sketches through Inspectable and Repairable AI Decisions

AI-assisted creative tools reduce the effort of authoring content, but delegating creative decisions to AI can make it difficult for authors to understand, correct, or redirect work. We present OmniScribble, a system for animating multi-object sketches that treats object decomposition and motion planning as editable ar...

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.
