TransCAVE-E: A distributed virtual reality testbed for adaptive external human-machine interfaces

External human-machine interfaces (eHMIs) are evolving from predefined displays toward adaptive communication strategies that respond to changing traffic and road-user states. This transition requires experimental infrastructure that supports human-in-the-loop (HIL) interaction, software-in-the-loop (SIL) algorithm exe...

From Maturity Models to Ground Truth: Reconciling Cybersecurity Capacity Frameworks with Household-Level Governance Realities in the Global South

This work identifies four mechanisms by which national capacity fails to reach the household: legibility, intra-household power distribution, accessibility of redress, and infrastructure-affordability constraints, and proposes four concrete, low-cost last-mile indicators pilotable within existing CMM deployments.

Calibrating LLM Judges for Human and AI Conversations

This work evaluates state-of-the-art LLMs as pointwise and pairwise judges of conversational success on CANDOR, finding pointwise scoring correlates moderately with human ratings, while pairwise comparison suffers from long transcripts and positional bias.

A Human-Like Pedestrian Model for Automated Driving Simulations

A novel definition of pedestrian-vehicle interaction as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) with theory-grounded perceptual, cognitive, and motor constraints is introduced to establish a blueprint for simulator-ready pedestrian models that can support the development and evaluation of automated drivi...

A Procedure for Classifying Attachments and Affective Social Bonds in Human-Robot Dyads

This paper gives HRI practitioners a standardised basis for evaluating, classifying, and comparing human-robot relationships, and sets out the experimental rigour that each classification demands, and calls on researchers of human-robot relationships to adopt such rigour.

How People Use ChatGPT in Australia: A WildChat Analysis

An Australia-focused analysis of WildChat, a public dataset of real-world ChatGPT interaction logs, shows that the Australian subset is strongly action-oriented and comparatively work-oriented, with most interactions classified as doing and a majority of conversations classified as work-related.

HelpCoach: Scaffolding Targeted AI Help-Seeking During Problem-Solving

HelpCoach is an add-on for chat interfaces that helps students formulate knowledge- and scaffold-specific questions and receive targeted help during problem solving and led to more specific questions during chatbot interactions and greater knowledge retention than pre-task help-seeking training alone.

Characterizing LLM-Based Family Education through the Lens of Activity Theory: A Scoping Review of the HCI Literature

A scoping review analyzes 53 HCI studies and offers a framework explaining how LLM capabilities become organized through family participation, using activity theory and AODM to relate participants and educational objects to mediation, labour, and rules.

"You Can't Just Automate It": Negotiating and Sustaining a"Good"Family Life Through Energy Practices

This study examines how Taiwanese parent-child families negotiate a"good"family life through everyday energy use and imagine future smart homes that support it. We conducted in-home interviews and co-design sessions with 21 families, including 46 parents and children. We found that families pursued a good life through...

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…
