From Neurons to Conversation: Speech Brain-Computer Interfaces

By reframing speech BCIs as adaptive, user-centred systems, this work outlines the interdisciplinary priorities spanning speech neuroscience, neural engineering, machine learning, clinical practice, and neuroethics needed to move from proof-of-concept decoding toward reliable, expressive, and controllable communication...

RobotEQ 3.0: Towards Personalized Social Proactive Intelligence in Embodied Agents

Experimental results show that incorporating user traits can aid personalized prediction, as this work aims to shift the research paradigm from developing agents suited for the average user to designing systems tailored to specific individuals.

"I didn't know how to read a map, but now I can": TouchingSpace, an Audio-Haptic Map for Blind and Low-Vision Readers

Accessible map systems either make a layout explorable by hand or convey information through speech; few combine both to support pre-travel spatial understanding for blind and low-vision (BLV) people. We present TouchingSpace: a system that retrieves map data for an outdoor place and renders its surroundings as bounded...

Targeted and Traceable Investigation of Multi-Agent LLM Dialogue via Semantic Bundling of Knowledge Graphs

This work presents a targeted and traceable approach to investigating multi-agent LLM dialogue, applied to the VAST Challenge 2026 MC1 dataset, and finds that the KG structure enables users to identify actors worth investigating faster and summarizing only the region surrounding an actor of interest better supports per...

Spotting (and Missing) Algorithmic Bias: Investigating User Understanding in a Fairness Assessment Tool

FairAware, a fairness assessment tool co-designed with Human Resources domain experts, is presented, suggesting that fairness assessment tools for non-experts are usable for identifying biases but need built-in checks on understanding before stakeholders make higher-stakes decisions.

Online Inference of Human Intention as a Latent Control State from Single-Trial EEG

Human intention can be modeled as a latent internal state that modulates how sensory information is evaluated and translated into action in human-machine systems. However, most existing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) rely on control signals tightly coupled to externally imposed stimulation and do not explicitly infer...

SPECTRA: On-Device Cognitive Perturbation and Trajectory Analysis for Autonomous Edge-Cloud GUI Grounding

SPECTRA is proposed, a lightweight autonomous request framework for edge-cloud GUI grounding, comprising Saliency-Guided Targeted Perturbation and Efficient Cognitive Trajectory Analysis, which conducts a visual cognitive stress test and quantifies the topological divergence of the agent's high-dimensional cognitive tr...

Do Proactive Agents Need an LLM to Decide When to Act?

This work introduces a temporal-graph-learning (TGL) controller that learns these predictions jointly and supplies both outputs in one forward pass, and shows that a small graph model can handle both decisions and improve the language agents it controls.

Learning to Assign Prediction Tasks to Agents with Capacity Constraints

This work provides a general theoretical characterization of the problem of learning to assign prediction tasks to one agent from a set of available agents, including human decision-makers and AI models and develops a framework of sequential explore-exploit policy-learning algorithms that seek to maximize overall perfo...

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.
