ATCion: Exploring the Design of Icon-based Visual Aids for Enhancing In-cockpit Air Traffic Control Communication

Effective communication between pilots and air traffic control (ATC) is essential for aviation safety, but verbal exchanges over radios are prone to miscommunication, especially under high workload conditions. While cockpit-embedded visual aids offer the potential to enhance ATC communication, little is known about how...

Small-world Networks of Agents Brainstorm AI Risks to Support Ideation

The ideation phase of participatory AI risk assessment often starts with a blank slate or a limited list of predefined risks, making it difficult to surface indirect or systemic harms. To address this limitation, we propose a three-stage ideation support tool. The tool complements participatory AI, rather than replacin...

CRiDiT: Instantiating a run-time testbed for trust calibration in AI-infused systems

The integration of AI into larger technical infrastructures has made the alignment of human trust with system trustworthiness, known as trust calibration, a critical engineering concern, since misplaced trust in either direction leads to operational and safety risks. While conceptual frameworks provide a strong foundat...

"MeBo Leaves a Piece of You Behind": Designing a Relational Voice-Based Memory Companion for Older Adults

Autobiographical remembering supports identity, well-being, and social connection in later life, yet voice-based memory technologies largely rely on isolated prompts. We designed and built MeBo, a fully functional relational voice-based memory companion, through participatory design with 11 older adults. Their accounts...

Structure-Aware Rendering: How Code Reveal Shapes Programmers'Visual Attention

The findings show that rendering alters visual attention and reading behavior: dynamic rendering induces fewer but longer fixations and more sustained focus, while structured rendering further guides attention toward semantically meaningful units and supports high-level understanding.

Prompting Against Persona Drift: Comparing Intervention Timing and Content in LLM-Simulated Conversations

Simulating student personas with large language models (LLMs) enables scalable evaluation of educational systems. However, behavioral drift, a progressive decline in persona consistency, can emerge over extended conversations, limiting the validity of such simulations. We evaluate five prompt-level mechanisms using sep...

Finger-to-Ear ECG: Systematic Evaluation of an Earbud-Based Cardiac Monitoring Approach

A finger-to-ear ECG paradigm that combines an in-ear electrode with a rear housing finger-contact electrode in a speaker-equipped earbud is evaluated, establishing finger-to-ear ECG as a robust, morphology-aware paradigm for opportunistic sensing in earables.

Beyond Screen Time: Demonstrating the Value of App Activity Logs to Understand User Behavior Further

Research on smartphone use remains fragmented, with studies differing in measures, methods, and platforms, limiting what we know about everyday behavior. We argue that event-level app activity logs should form the backbone of research on actual rather than recalled smartphone use. We conduct a secondary analysis of 4,5...

A Leader-Driven Open Collaboration Platform for Exploring New Domains

This paper describes the design and initial evaluation of a leader-driven open collaboration platform for exploring new domains. The goal of this platform is to enable the collaboration of subject matter experts across knowledge boundaries. Traditionally, new domains are explored from within a single specialist or a fo...

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.
