Psychoacoustically Aligned Latent Smoothing for Adversarial Robustness of Full-Duplex Speech-to-Speech Dialogue Models

End-to-end speech-to-speech dialogue models listen and speak simultaneously, so a continuously open acoustic channel is exposed to adversarial manipulation. We formalize imperceptible attacks on full-duplex agents as optimization over additive perturbations confined beneath the psychoacoustic masking threshold of the c...

Brain-to-Language Decoding: Tasks, Signals, Methods, Evaluation, Practical Use and Beyond

This survey connects Articulated, Inner and Perceived tasks to the neural populations they engage, the representations available to decoders and the outputs those representations can support, and outlines a prospective five-level trajectory from commands and language to meaning, scenarios and bidirectional cognitive ex...

VisCanvas: A Node-Based Interface for Exploratory Visualization Authoring with LLMs

Visual data analysis involves both open-ended exploration and targeted question answering. Visualization authoring tools support this process by enabling users to create visualizations for these tasks. With the rise of large language models (LLMs), substantial effort has been devoted to developing visualization authori...

Trade-offs in Financial AI: Explainability in a Trilemma with Accuracy and Compliance

This study empirically investigates how practitioners prioritize explainability relative to four competing factors: accuracy, compliance, cost, and speed, and reveals that these priorities are structured not as a simple trade-off, but as a system of distinct prerequisites and constraints.

Mirror Skin: In Situ Visualization of Robot Touch Intent on Robotic Skin

Effective communication of robot touch intent is essential for safe and predictable physical human-robot interaction. While intent communication has been widely studied, existing approaches lack the spatial specificity and semantic depth necessary to efficiently convey robot touch intent. We present Mirror Skin, a ceph...

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…
