Multimodal Detection of Higher-Order Behavioral Constructs: Self-Compassion in Structured Reflective Interactions

Many of the qualities that matter most in how people learn and grow, how someone regulates their emotions, reflects on a setback, or stays aware of others during a difficult conversation, are not directly observable. They have to be inferred from how someone speaks, moves, and sounds over time, and they resist the kind...

When Privacy Becomes a Weapon: Understanding Doxxing and Privacy Vulnerabilities in Mainland China's Social Media Ecosystem

Survivors' experiences are synthesized into a framework conceptualizing how doxxing operates in mainland China, suggesting that effective protection requires constraining systemic vulnerabilities rather than relying solely on user empowerment and proposing multifaceted recommendations spanning legal reform, platform de...

Critical Thinking with Generative AI: A Constraint-First Design Pilot of a Thinking-Partner Intervention

Findings indicate that one semester of GenAI-assisted instruction can move domain learning and self-reported AI literacy but does not move standardized critical thinking, and that the modal student-LLM relationship is one of validation instead of dialogue.

A Task-Driven Framework for Multiscale Ocean Flow Dynamics through Integrated Simulation and Visualization

A task-driven visualization methodology for analyzing multiscale, multivariate flow data on hybrid grids incorporates a hybrid-grid volumetric reconstruction method, enabling continuous 3D analysis and a coordinated multi-view design that supports interactive exploration of complex flow structures.

Towards the Threshold: A Fall-Risk Anchored Pareto Framework for Virtual Reality Gait Feedback Selection for Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis

It is demonstrated that greater gait improvement does not necessarily correspond to greater rehabilitation efficiency and a threshold-anchored efficiency framework is introduced to provide a quantitative framework for comparing VR feedback strategies according to both performance gains and participant burden.

Shaping Opinion: Quantifying the Psychological Impact of Autonomous Multi-Agent LLM Interactions

Natural-sounding multi-agent conversational AI is increasingly deployed, fundamentally altering human-machine interaction and human information processing. While prior work largely focuses on algorithmic failure, this study investigates the cognitive ergonomics and socio-cognitive impact of algorithmic competence. We p...

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.
