An audit procedure is demonstrated that sets an agent's self-description against its users'judgements and its implementation records, reporting each claim as supported, contradicted, or unresolved, and applies it to Lita, a proactive companion built and deployed for a month with nine colleagues.
GestAdapt is presented, a workspace-conditioned framework that conditions co-speech gesture generation on a prescribed wrist workspace and learns from six complementary co-speech corpora through a shared motion representation and supports retargeting to different robot embodiments.

Ref referential uncertainty is studied in a collaborative puzzle task where a human Helper instructs an AI Worker to place pieces, showing that a separately elicited belief distribution over candidate pieces is better calibrated and better discriminates correct from incorrect placements than raw action-token probabilit...

Organizations increasingly route employee feedback to leaders through large language model (LLM) summaries, an unaudited layer that silences already-spoken voice. We introduce a Voice Retention / Representation Ratio metric for representational bias in summarization and apply it to a bilingual (English/German) corpus o...

Organizations started listening to employees through conversational AI agents alongside structured surveys. Little is known about what these channels change in what employees say when disclosure carries hierarchical risk. We report a field study inside a global management consulting firm whose process pairs a pre-surve...

Conversational agents increasingly interact with children, yet evidence on how their design shapes children's susceptibility to persuasion comes almost entirely from the lab. We report a $2\times2$ randomized field experiment embedded in a public German Santa Claus telephone hotline. Children's calls were randomly rout...

This paper introduces MaaL, a software architecture that packages small, community-enrolled speech models as versioned on-device dependencies, enabling offline structured data collection that cannot generatively hallucinate, for populations that current language models serve worst.
RaivenTracks is presented, a workflow-aware extension of the Raiven DSL-mediated visualization pipeline that treats validated visualization specifications as persistent, branchable checkpoints and frames branchable conversational visualization history as a step toward provenance support for future scientist-in-the-loop...

Object detection, a task, in the field of computer vision faces obstacles when dealing with weather conditions such as fog, rain, snow, and low light situations. This paper provides an overview of advancements in the realm of object detection under challenging weather conditions. It delves into groundbreaking research...
Cloud robotics is an innovative field that leverages cloud technologies-including cloud computing (CC), cloud storage, deep learning, big data, and the Internet of Things to augment the capabilities of robotics. This integration facilitates the execution of robotic functions through a converged infrastructure and share...

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…
