Touvigation: Embodied Adaptive Object Acquisition for Blind and Low-Vision Users in Unfamiliar Indoor Environments

Touvigation is presented, a hands-free object acquisition system that combines vision-language understanding with persistent local spatial modeling to provide low-latency, body-relative guidance and demonstrates how persistent spatial grounding and adaptive embodied guidance can improve object acquisition for blind and...

An Agentic Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention System for Personalized Sleep Support: Proof-of-Concept Study with N of 1 Data

Background: Just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs) can use behavioral data to adapt support to changing contexts, but many rely on predefined rules and manual configuration. Objective: We developed a proof-of-concept sleep JITAI using an AI agent to review personal data, evaluate reminders, adapt interventions, a...

Reducing Barriers to Academic Support: Evaluating a Course-Specific RAG System for Addressing Help-Seeking Disparities in Higher Education

Beacon, a course-specific Retrieval-Augmented Generation system providing private, immediate, module-aligned academic support, is presented and evaluated and the findings suggest that carefully designed course-specific AI systems may reduce barriers to academic support by occupying an intermediary space between indepen...

Self-Explanation Tutor for Active Study of CS1 Worked Examples

Worked examples are an important part of introductory programming, but reading their expert explanations is passive. Self explanation, students explaining the problem and its solution to themselves with subgoal level analysis, converts passive reading into an active study of worked example, yet it is hard to scale beca...

EventColumn: Integrating Event Sequences into Tabular Visualizations

We introduce EventColumn, a new column type that integrates event-sequence data with heterogeneous tabular attributes into a single unified table. EventColumn lets analysts compare event sequences alongside numerical, categorical, and temporal attributes at both instance and group levels, offering a compressed overview...

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…
