Unsupervised Partner Design Enables Robust Ad-hoc Teamwork

We introduce Unsupervised Partner Design (UPD), a population-free multi-agent reinforcement learning method for robust ad-hoc teamwork. UPD generates training partners on-the-fly and selects them adaptively based on a learnability criterion, removing the need for pre-trained partner populations or manual parameter tuni...

Designing Proactive Thought Partners for Writing

These findings show that participants configured proactive support through prospective planning, used suggestions for both idea generation and self-monitoring, and valued lightweight visual representations alongside non-directive rhetorical framing for non-intrusive interventions.

GazeRefine: Expert Gaze as a Test-Time Prompt for Training-Free Medical Image Segmentation

The results show strong performance on colonoscopy images and competitive performance on prostate MRI, supporting gaze-guided prototype refinement as a promising approach for segmentation-label-efficient, human-in-the-loop medical image segmentation.

Disclosure-Gated User Simulation for Companion-Agent Evaluation

A disclosure gate conditioning information release on the companion agent's behaviour is answered, with a disclosure gate conditioning information release on the companion agent's behaviour: its state is a ladder of five ordered gates, merged onto three observable depth layers.

Are We There Yet? Assessing Computer-Use Agents for Blind Users'Accessible Interaction with Desktop Applications

A three-week diary study with 8 blind users using OLLA, a screen-reader-accessible CUA prototype, collecting 1,258 commands across 12 applications with screenshots, UI trees, model responses, and action traces reveals grounding, planning, constraint-tracking, and termination failures, while interviews reveal beyond-aut...

RecalibrateGPT: AI Fatigue Resilient Conversational Interfaces

RecalibrateGPT is a system introducing five cross-turn operators that each target a distinct fatigue type, recalibrating LLM responses through a structured panel by acting on the full conversation history with a single click, suggesting AI fatigue is not just a model-quality issue but an interaction-flow cost that inte...

Socrates went Nuclear: Comparing Interaction Strategies for AI systems in a Learning Context using Brain Sensing

The cluster analysis of chatbot usage and discussion patterns by users showed that most participants in the unrestricted-mode adopted a direct answer-retrieval strategy, while participants in the Socratic-mode initially attempted to reason through the hints before progressively disengaging, suggesting that the success...

AI Morbidity and Mortality: A Framework for Clinical AI Failure Review

AI Morbidity and Mortality (AI M&M) is intended to complement, rather than replace, model monitoring, patient safety reporting, and regulatory oversight by converting individual AI-in-workflow failures into actionable institutional learning.

Physical AI Governance: From Theory to Practice Across Life Cycle

With the emergence of Physical AI, artificial intelligence is extending beyond screen-based applications to embodied systems that perceive, interact with, and act in the physical world. Unlike traditional AI, Physical AI operates under real-time safety constraints, continuously interacts with dynamic environments, and...

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.
