How Researchers Use and Verify AI Coding Assistants: Tasks and Validation Practices in Scientific Programming

Validating AI contributions to scientific code rested largely on individual judgment, outside shared infrastructure for testing or review, and interfaces could support task-appropriate evaluation rather than leave it to the user.

Learned Parametric Emotion Editing: Real-Time Affective Filtering for On-Device Social Media Video

A model that predicts this transformation in a single forward pass is learned: a MobileNetV4 backbone with FiLM-based emotion conditioning outputs parameters for differentiable global transformations, which reduced viewer-reported arousal relative to unedited images, comparably to the grayscale well-being filter.

Open Platform Field Experiments: Expanding the Design Space of Experimental Research on Social Media

Despite a growing demand for causal evidence about social media, independent researchers remain severely constrained in their ability to conduct experiments directly on online platforms. To cope, multiple methodological workarounds have emerged - from controlled surveys and simulations to client-side overlays and platf...

MarineCraft: Enabling Rapid Prototyping of Underwater Robots via Modular Construction

Underwater robot development is often hindered by the complexities of waterproofing and wiring, which significantly delay the rapid prototyping process. This paper presents MarineCraft, a modular toolkit designed to accelerate the development cycle through structural reconfiguration. The system features self-contained,...

OpenRoIS: A Community-Driven Open-Source Middleware Implementing the Robotic Interaction Service (RoIS) Framework for Physical Robots and Virtual Agents

This paper presents OpenRoIS, a community-driven open-source middleware providing a concrete implementation of the RoIS Framework 2.0, taking the position that an openly developed, paradigm-neutral implementation is what carries the standard from specification to practice.

Can I Trust My Body? A Three-Year Autoethnography of ChatGPT's Place in My Support System for Panic Attacks

People increasingly seek mental health support from large language models, yet little is known about their use across years of recurrent panic. We present a three-year analytic autoethnography of the first author's ChatGPT use while living with panic disorder, drawing on conversations, personal records, and accounts fr...

Depressive symptoms are reflected differently across digital contexts

As more of everyday life takes place online, digital behavior may provide a potential window into how depressive symptoms are reflected in daily life. Yet digital mental health studies have produced mixed findings. These inconsistencies may partly reflect how digital behavior is measured: self reported use, single devi...

Comparing Haptic Feedback Across Hand Tracking and Controllers in VR Object Interaction Tasks

Hand tracking offers natural VR interaction but lacks controllers'inherent tactile feedback, while haptic feedback across input methods remains understudied. We conducted a participant study comparing vibration, impulse, and no feedback in hand- and controller-based VR interaction across grasp-, pinch-, and tap-like ge...

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.
