We investigate the effectiveness of artificial intelligences (AI)-specifically large language models (LLMs)-relative to human scientists at high-level cognitive tasks in social science such as theory formulation, predictions of novel empirical results, and theory revision in response to new evidence. The research domai...

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into educational settings, yet educators lack robust, standards-aligned tools to evaluate their effectiveness in K-12 science contexts. Existing benchmarks predominantly assess general language or advanced scientific reasoning, leaving a critical gap in understan...

This work introduces a method to update the internal potential field model of the patient with measured positions, forces and torques for more transparent model-mediated tele-ultrasound and shows the addition of measurements to the model reduced the force magnitude RMSE by an average of 7.42 N.

It is demonstrated that the fixed reality modality affects HRI results, and dynamically changing the modality along the RVC improves them, highlighting the value of adaptive XR interfaces for human-robot symbiosis.

This paper presents a control interface that uses a commercial XR pen to command a semi-autonomous mobile robot in Augmented Reality (AR), and shows that the XR pen significantly outperforms the other methods in task selection time with the most consistent selections, supporting XR-based control as an intuitive alterna...

This work proposes Multi-Objective Human-in-the-loop Bayesian Optimization (MO-HILBO), which builds on explicit multi-objective Bayesian optimization to efficiently infer a personalized set of Pareto-optimal controllers.

With the prevalence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) over the past decades, healthcare systems across the globe face critical diagnostic challenges due to long diagnostic waiting times and a reliance on subjective behavioural assessments that cannot distinguish ADHD from comorbid psychiatric disorders...
This study compares Human alone and Human+AI performance on reasoning tasks, for which the AI model is benchmarked on the same items, and distinguishes performance augmentation from metacognitive augmentation and motivate interfaces that support verification, communicate task-specific AI model performance, and help use...

Electroencephalography (EEG)-based emotion recognition is important for affective computing and human-computer interaction, yet most existing methods divide a long trial into short segments and assign each segment the label of its source trial. Although this strategy increases the number of training samples, it reduces...

CDBG significantly outperforms state-of-the-art cross-subject and graph-based baselines, improving the Macro-F1 score by up to 4.23%, while simultaneously providing neurophysiologically interpretable functional rationales.

Anthropomorphic artificial intelligence systems increasingly remember personal details, display empathy, and are engaged with as social counterparts, creating forms of risk that emerge from the evolution of the user-system relationship over time. Existing safeguards largely operate at the level of individual conversati...
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…
