EasyFashion: A Human-AI Co-Creation System for Personalized Fashion Design and Sewing Pattern Generation

People often want garments that reflect their aesthetic preferences, fit their bodies, and meet their sizing needs, yet turning these requirements into physical garments remains difficult. Ready-to-wear options provide limited personalization, while custom tailoring is costly and time-consuming. Recent generative artif...

Building a Cultural Perspective on Doctor-Patient Conversations

This work introduces interactional cultural markers, measurable patterns of doctor-patient interaction grounded in cross-cultural clinical communication, and uses them to compare real, simulated, and synthetic consultations from Indian and US clinical contexts to find distinct patterns of participation and control.

Misgendering as Breakdown in Human-Machine Communication: How AI Companion Chatbot Users Experience and Repair Misgendering

In recent years, large language model-based AI companion and role play chatbots have grown increasingly popular. People turn to these chatbots for emotional support and to engage in romantic and erotic role play. Although prior research suggests that digital role play can help people explore their gender and sexuality,...

Replication Studies: Not Just a Copy

Replication studies revisit previous experimental findings for multiple purposes, including assessing reliability, exploring generalisability, and evaluating research methods. Such studies entail design decisions that a single replication label cannot fully capture, making their designs difficult to describe and compar...

Needs Your Help: Understanding Platform-Directed Rating Participation in Community Notes on X

Community-based fact-checking is promising in countering misinformation, yet its scalability is constrained by slow rating accumulation. To address this challenge, platforms such as X implement platform-directed rating mechanisms, specifically through ``Needs Your Help'' algorithmic prompts, to target unresolved notes....

A Design Space for Visual Interfaces for Generative Image Models

Interactive visual interfaces have become an important means of controlling generative image models, enabling users to manipulate generation through prompts, direct manipulation, and a range of interactions. However, existing techniques are typically presented as independent systems, making it difficult to understand h...

AI Peers Exert Social Influence on Human Dishonesty in Groups

AI agents exert substantial social influence comparable in magnitude to that of human peers, and participants reported more dishonestly when exposed to dishonest rather than honest normative cues, highlighting the importance of managing the behaviors and normative signals communicated by AI group members.

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…
