AwareLLM: A Proactive Multimodal Ecosystem for Personalized Human-AI Collaboration to Enhance Productivity

A novel multimodal framework that integrates egocentric vision, pupillometry, eye-gaze tracking, posture detection, heart activity, and the inferencing capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to create a proactive and context-aware ecosystem that dynamically adapts to users' psychophysiological states while analyz...

LatentGandr: Visual Exploration of Generative AI Latent Space via Local Embeddings

LatentGandr is a visual analytics technique that facilitates latent space exploration by extracting locally linear dimensions from embeddings in high-dimensional latent spaces by analyzing the topology and local curvature of the embeddings, and automatically identifies local neighborhoods and computes their principal c...

The Double-Edged Sword of Open-Ended Interaction: How LLM-Driven NPCs Affect Players' Cognitive Load and Gaming Experience

Empirical evidence is provided for understanding the "double-edged sword" effect of LLM-NPCs on player experience, and the importance of scenario-sensitive and user-sensitive design in intelligent NPC systems is highlighted.

Varifocal Displays Reduce the Impact of the Vergence-Accommodation Conflict on 3D Pointing Performance in Augmented Reality Systems

Overall, varifocal viewing yielded significantly higher performance than the fixed-focal baseline across key interaction metrics, although the magnitude and even the direction of the benefit varied across individuals.

Toward Scalable Audio Description Quality Control: A Workflow for Evaluating Human and VLM Raters

This work developed a methodological workflow using Item Response Theory to evaluate VLM and human rater proficiency against expert-established ground truth, suggesting that top-performing VLMs can approximate ground-truth ratings at levels comparable to human raters.

Beyond Reconstruction: What EEG-to-Video Decoding Actually Recovers

Results show that EEG exhibits a consistent visual and emotional structure that can support dynamic video generation, whereas current reconstruction primarily reflects coarse stimulus-level information rather than fine-grained, trial-specific decoding.

NoteFlow: Leveraging Charts as Sight Glasses for Consistent and Continuous Data Flow Tracing

NoteFlow is a notebook extension that leverages charts as “sight glasses” to provide a consistent and continuous tracing of data flow and trace the global evolution of selected charts to continuously observe how particular data attributes evolve throughout the EDA process.

Domain-Grounded Tool Orchestration for LLM-Guided Scientific Analysis

This work presents an architecture that separates intent interpretation (LLM) from execution (deterministic domain tools) from explanation (LLM), connected by the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and grounded by domain ontologies that constrain planning to valid analysis chains.

Augmenting Human Performance with an XR Agent Learning from Online Behavior and BCI Evidence

It is shown that passive EEG, fused online with behavioral evidence, can meaningfully extend the number of targets users detect and engage beyond their unaided action bandwidth, and that OLIVE Pareto-dominates prior test-time adaptation frameworks, achieving the highest convergence rate at comparable convergence speed.

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.
