Large Language Models (LLMs) and more broadly Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are often described and understood in human-like terms, a phenomenon known as anthropomorphism. This paper provides a synthesis of recent literature on anthropomorphism in AI, covering theoretical frameworks, the role of language in fram...

An embodiment-aware controller is formulated, the Universal Embodiment Engine (UEE), that infers the operator's embodiment and visuo-proprioceptive cue weighting from implicit gaze and pupil signals and task outcome, and chooses bounded device settings under explicit preferences, cast as a discrete Active Inference age...
This SoK surveys 65 peer‐reviewed works published between 2017 and 2024 across leading XR, security, and privacy venues, synthesizing a unified threat taxonomy that spans device, network, user and cloud layers and introduces a quantitative evaluation framework XR-PRISM (Privacy and Risk Impact Scoring Metric).
Public understanding of how people use LLM-based conversational AI assistants comes primarily from aggregate platform reports by OpenAI and Anthropic, which apply fixed taxonomies and inferred demographics to hundreds of millions of users and release only summary statistics that outside researchers cannot re-analyze. W...

Writing with AI agents turns a paragraph into the outcome of many requests, yet the finished document rarely explains which request produced which change. We introduce Reactant, an interaction paradigm in which authors place typed inline annotations in their original documents. A verified transaction protocol records e...
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) shapes content to increase its likelihood of being cited by answer engines built on retrieval-augmented large language models. GEO is typically evaluated as a single-turn property: for a fixed query, an evaluator measures a source's visibility in one answer. We argue that the single...

Reference listening is a common strategy in music production, but current comparison tools often obscure a key human judgment: deciding what should be compared. We present Diptych, an AI-assisted system that lets users define comparison scope across whole tracks or independently selected segments, while inspecting stru...

Animal models are widely used to study human biology and health interventions, yet translating findings from animal studies to humans remains challenging. Evidence across preclinical and clinical research informs experimental and translational decisions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly reshaping how...

Gamified points are widely used to represent learner participation, but cumulative point totals provide limited information about how participation changes over time. This limitation matters in continuously enrolling programmes, where learners have different opportunities to accumulate points. This study examines how g...

Electroencephalography (EEG) emotion recognition serves as a pivotal interface for human-computer interaction, yet the physiological variability across individuals complicates the already challenging task of fusing heterogeneous physiological signals (e.g., EEG and eye movements). However, most prevalent domain adaptat...
The success of cross-subject multimodal emotion recognition hinges on maintaining the consistency of the joint data distribution across individuals. However, real-world deployment frequently triggers the \emph{asymmetric joint distribution collapse}: EEG signals suffer from severe cross-subject distribution shifts, whi...
Food delivery platforms mediate service encounters through real-time tracking data. While presented as objective, such data often obscures the situational constraints shaping delivery work, producing systematic misalignments between user perception and courier experience. This study presents a socio-technical analysis...

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…
