Full-Duplex Speech Models Take the Floor When Asked, Not When Needed

This paper identifies a gap in both speech initiation and response content that requires genuine content understanding and intervention decisions grounded in it and constructs context-matched English monologues in which only the trigger utterance varies within a topic.

What Users Think of Generative AI: A Cross-Platform NLP Analysis of Trust and Friction in App Store Reviews

Generative AI (GenAI) applications have achieved rapid consumer adoption, yet little large-scale research examines user-perceived quality, trust, and adoption barriers. We present one of the first cross-application analyses of app store reviews for six major GenAI applications (ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Claud...

Personalising a Cross-User Surface Electromyography Encoder Under a Small Calibration Budget

A myoelectric interface needs calibration from the user before it will function. Earlier work has treated calibration as a quantity, but has not asked the question of what a device should do with the calibration repetitions once they have been collected. This paper views personalizing the cross-user encoder as a design...

Towards a Unified Modality-Agnostic Multimodal Framework for Cognitive Workload Assessment

A unified, modality-agnostic, hierarchical Transformer-based architecture to process heterogeneous biosignal modalities within a single model is developed and EEG is the strongest single modality, ranking highest in IQ, GAME, and the pooled ALL setting.

Understanding Role Switching in Human-AI Collaboration through Multimodal Behavioral Signals

It is suggested that behavioral cues could help intelligent systems recognize when users want to reallocate complementary responsibilities during collaboration, in response to evolving task demands and perceptions of the AI's capabilities.

Behavioral Coherence: A Method for Sensitive-Domain LLM Evaluation

Empirical evidence is provided that LLMs lack coherent understanding of psychological constructs operating across multiple dimensions, particularly in domains where understanding what people cannot say determines whether support helps or harms.

Semantic Action Graph: A Shared Representation for Agent Grounding and Human Interpretation of Sports Highlights

The semantic action graph is presented, a lightweight domain schema that represents a sports match as performer, action, recipient, moment, and state nodes connected by role, temporal, and outcome edges, providing early evidence that one small, human-readable schema can ground agent generation and support human interpr...

greCAPTCHA: Assessing Understanding as Evidence of Research Authorship Under Generative AI

Initial evidence is provided that greCAPTCHA can assess manuscript-specific understanding under proctored conditions and the appropriate construct validity for author understanding is remarked on, while also suggesting important changes to be made before deployment.

A Multi-Objective Optimisation Framework for Corticomuscular EEG-EMG Pair Selection in Hybrid BCI

A data-driven EEG-EMG pair selection framework is proposed, in which channel pair selection is formulated as a constrained bi-objective optimisation problem and achieves an average classification accuracy of 89.6%, demonstrating its effectiveness in capturing physiologically meaningful corticomuscular interactions and...

FacetCRS: Multi-Faceted Preference Learning for Pricking Filter Bubbles in Conversational Recommender System

This work proposes a novel paradigm, Multi-Facet Preference Learning for Pricking Filter Bubbles in Conversational Recommender System (FacetCRS), which aims to burst filter bubbles in the conversational recommender system (CRS) through timely user-item interactions via natural language conversations.

Designing Against Deskilling: Metacognitive Feedback Reduces Cognitive Offloading to LLM Assistants

Cognitive offloading to AI can reduce opportunities to practice skills, creating risks of deskilling. However, it remains unclear how to prevent deskilling without restricting access to AI. Here, we design two interventions to reduce offloading decisions: (1) metacognitive feedback that makes the implications of offloa...

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.
