Comparison and Analysis of Cognitive Load under 2D/3D Visual Stimuli

2D and 3D videos could generally induce a higher cognitive load, but the extent of the differences also depended on the contents of the video stimuli and the viewing purpose, and the Cognitive Load Index (CLI) was introduced.

What Parents Can See: Divergent Accounts of Youth AI Companion Use in Parenting and Teenager Subreddits

A codebook covering modes of use, risks, benefits, and parental mediation for youth AI companion use from parenting and teenager communities is developed and applied at corpus scale with an LLM, arguing differences track what a given kind of use makes visible to someone outside the conversation.

Ageing, Digital Literacy, and Interaction Modality in Immer-sive Virtual Reality: Psychomotor Performance, Cognitive Flexibility, and Their Processing-Speed Association

Extended reality (XR) increasingly supports training and cognitive assessment, yet the age sensitivity of its interaction techniques is unclear. This study examined age, digital literacy, and interaction modality as correlates of psychomotor and cognitive-flexibility performance in immersive virtual reality (VR). Two h...

Stereotypically Yours: Portrayal and Perception of Race-Coded AI Companions

AI companions can purportedly adopt racial personas, raising questions about how they represent identity and how users interpret these portrayals. We combined an algorithmic audit of race-coded AI personas with interviews with 12 companion users who interacted with a probe. Our audit revealed systematic differences, su...

How Do We Visualize Space in Molecular Biology? A Study of Spatial Transcriptomics Visualization Practices

This work surveyed 148 papers and 1,824 figure panels using a What-Why-How coding framework grounded in Munzner's nested model, connecting the data represented, the biological tasks motivating each visualization, and the design choices through which they are expressed.

What People Almost Did: Evaluating LLM Social Simulations Beyond Behavioral Fit

This paper proposes representational adequacy as a new evaluation target for LLM-based social simulations, distinguishes representational adequacy from interpretability and alignment metrics, proposes ways to integrate it into simulation research, and poses its measurement as an open problem.

Penquiry: A Pen-based Interactive In-situ Q&A System Leveraging LLMs

Penquiry is presented, an in-situ question-and-answer system that bridges the gap between the fluid, spatial nature of pen-based workflows and the discrete, keyboard-heavy requirements of Large Language Models, providing a new blueprint for pen-based, in-situ AI interaction.

Point, Revise, Review: Grounded Agentic Analysis in Reactive Notebooks with marimo-lens

This work presents marimo-lens, an extension to the reactive Python notebook marimo for grounded human-agent analysis that connects a human's marked output and note to its producing cell and relevant contributing computation, giving the agent computational context for the request.

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.
