Making Gender-Inclusive Practices Actionable: Evaluating a Research-Informed Computing Education Toolkit

The persistent gender imbalance in computing remains a global concern, and universities offer a key part of the pipeline to address it. Although research has identified practices that support under-represented student groups, translating this evidence into actionable guidance remains challenging. This paper first prese...

Toward Frontier-Quality Declarative UI Generation at Small-Model Cost

Declarative UI protocols such as A2UI let applications generate interactive UIs by selecting pre-built components from a catalog and binding their props to application data, rather than emitting frontend code from scratch. This contract is attractive for production systems because of safety and consistency. An open que...

Grounding GUI Design in Computational Psychology

Creating visually appealing user interfaces often requires extensive manual iteration. We propose an approach that applies answer set programming (ASP) to automatically generate and optimize UI layouts while satisfying design objectives such as grid alignment, grouping, color harmony, and whitespace, along with designe...

From Misconceptions to Evidence: What Science Teachers Make Visible When Co-Designing Agentic Learning Apps

Science educators increasingly encounter AI tools that generate content, yet disciplinary teaching depends on eliciting learners' models, diagnosing misconceptions, interpreting evidence, and preserving professional judgment. This study asks how science teachers translate such epistemic work into specifications for age...

Auditing Contextual Bias in Human Ball-Strike Calls Using KBO's Automated Umpiring Transition

This paper uses the Korean Baseball Organization's adoption of the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system to audit long-standing claims about contextual bias in human ball-strike calls. Using pitch-level KBO data from 2021 through the available portion of the 2026 season, we model called-strike probability for taken pitche...

Exploratory Unstructured Data Analysis: A Formative Study and Implications for Human-AI Collaboration

Four key opportunities for human-AI collaboration in EluDA are identified: intelligent sampling and visualization to maximize data visibility; incremental and few-shot learning to minimize effort for reliable assignment; automatic category, concept, and facet suggestions to reduce effort during the search for structure...

PlanePivoting: Exploration and Optimization of Gaze-Mouse Cursor Alignment for Spatial Object Translation

As XR matures into a ubiquitous computing platform, the disconnect between 2D and 3D input modalities remains a critical barrier to seamless workflow. Frequent transitions between the mouse for 2D precision and hand gestures for 3D manipulation induce significant physical fatigue and cognitive load. To address this, we...

Point&Spawn: Mid-Air Reference-Free Object Instantiation Using Gaze and Hand Gestures in Extended Reality

Six controller-free techniques combining Gaze or Non-Dominant Hand direction setting with Ray Intersection, Relative Gain, or Drag&Hold depth setting in a user study yielded faster and more accurate spawning, lower workload, higher usability, and greater preference than Ray Intersection.

Code Black: Desktop-Mediated Co-Design of AR-HMD Microinteractions for Emergency Department Teamwork

Emergency Department (ED) teams coordinate shifting roles, medication decisions, and time-critical interventions under uncertainty. Augmented reality head-mounted displays (AR-HMDs) have shown potential to spatially anchor information during care, creating opportunities to examine how spatial interfaces might support t...

What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity.  The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.
