Evaluating Just Noticeable Differences in Layered Opacity Visualizations

Opacity is a widely used channel in data visualization, but it remains less well understood compared to channels such as color, length, size, etc. Recent work from Meng et al. investigated the impact of opacity across competing color schemes, finding that certain color schemes were associated with better participant ac...

LINK: A Corpus-Grounded Design Pattern Library for Educational Technologies

Designing learning interfaces is often an ill-structured problem: effective solutions depend on learning goals, subject matter, learner characteristics, and interaction context that are difficult to generalize. Designers must integrate knowledge from learning sciences, interaction design, and subject domains when trans...

Assessing Acceptance and Privacy Preferences of Third-party Financial Data Sharing in Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is strongly associated with financial instability. We examine how different interventions motivate individuals with bipolar disorder to share financial data with others. This approach can inform the development of tools for digital monitoring and intervention designed to promote financial stability in...

viaCross: A Pen-Based Technique for Selecting Objects and Attributes of Interest using Crossing-Based Gestures

Crossing-based selection is well-studied, yet past research has overlooked multi-object and attribute selection with crossing gestures. We present viaCross, a pen-based technique in which crossing strokes define attribute constraints, paired with attribute widgets that visualize and allow subsequent edits to these cons...

Designing Adaptive Affective Chatbots for Online Learning: Trade-offs Between User Control, Automation, and Transparency

Online students often face emotional challenges such as frustration, isolation, and fluctuating motivation, which can hinder sustained engagement in online learning. While affective chatbots have shown promise in healthcare and wellness, most learning support chatbots focus primarily on cognitive assistance with limite...

Sycophancy Through a Five-Level AI Response Validation Framework

AI sycophancy, the tendency of AI systems to excessively agree with, flatter, or validate users, is an emerging concern in human-AI interaction. It is especially consequential in problem-sharing contexts, where users may seek both information and emotional validation. This paper conceptualizes AI sycophancy as excessiv...

From Community Values to AI Design Constraints: A Mixed-Methods Study of a Proposed AI-Driven Wildfire Risk Assessment Tool in Los Angeles County

AI-driven hazard tools are increasingly proposed for resident-facing risk communication. However, residents are often asked for feedback only after decisions about data use, privacy, and explanation have been made. This study takes an earlier approach by examining residents' values, concerns, and practical expectations...

No speech articulator robustly favours retroauricular electrodes over canonical jaw sites: a volume-conductor model with orientation and electrode-count controls

Objective. Ear-worn biopotential devices are being designed around a coupling that has not been computed: how strongly each speech articulator reaches electrodes on the jaw and around the ear. We compute it, and test the answer against the three things that could produce it spuriously - source orientation, electrode co...

Judgement and the Feeling of Agency When Instructing a Computer to Act

In cognitive psychology, the sense of agency refers to the feeling of controlling an external event through one's own actions. This paper asks how people experience agency when they give an instruction to a computer, which then acts on their behalf. Research in human-human interaction has found that while people experi...

EvoMaestro: Toward Interpretable and Steerable LLM-Driven Program Evolution

Recent program evolution systems use large language models (LLMs) to generate and iteratively improve populations of programs, producing striking advances in mathematics, algorithm design, and scientific computing. Yet these systems largely operate as fully automated black boxes. As populations grow, domain experts mus...

Beyond the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Colormap Assessment through Data-Aware Perceptual Metric

Continuous colormaps are widely used to visualize scalar fields, and their quality is typically evaluated using measures such as discriminative power and uniformity. Existing measures primarily characterize the intrinsic perceptual properties of the colormap itself, largely independent of the underlying data distributi...

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.
