A Multi-Timescale Recursive Self-Improvement Engine for Open-Ended Persona Growth

Role-playing AI personas today do not grow: they hold a fixed character, so the relationship a user builds with them has nothing to accumulate on. We introduce AutoPersonas, a multi-timescale engine that applies recursive self-improvement (RSI) to persona growth: rather than improving its intelligence, the persona recu...

Automating the Application of HCI Principles: Skills for On-Demand UI Construction, the Human-AI Space to Think, and the Future of HCI

Human-computer interaction (HCI) is in the middle of a transition: large language models can now generate functional user interfaces (UIs) on demand from natural-language task descriptions. A user explains what they are trying to accomplish, and the system materializes a working interface to support it. This capability...

Personalized Automatic Speech Recognition for a Dysarthric and Tracheostomic Speaker using Artificial Conversations

This work presents an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system personalized for a Czech speaker with a permanent tracheal stoma and severe dysarthria rendering their speech unintelligible to untrained listeners. We release a public dataset containing 33 annotated hours of the speaker's speech, collected using a novel...

DataWeave: Deploying Human-LLM Analytics for Exploratory Structured Data Analysis

Data journalism, the practice of using data analysis to surface newsworthy stories, depends increasingly on the ability of reporters and investigative journalists to uncover trends, disparities, and accountability narratives. In practice, exploring large structured datasets remains slow and brittle: journalists must na...

M-CALLM: Multi-level Context Aware LLM Framework for Group Interaction Prediction

This paper explores how large language models can leverage multi-level contextual information to predict group coordination patterns in collaborative mixed reality environments. We demonstrate that encoding individual behavioral profiles, group structural properties, and temporal dynamics as natural language enables LL...

AI Behavioral Science: A Framework and Agenda

We discuss the challenges and opportunities present in the rapidly emerging area of ``AI Behavioral Science.'' We frame it via three subfields. First, as AI becomes ubiquitous and is increasingly proprietary and opaque, it becomes vital to develop models of AI and methods for assessing AI behavior. We outline how tools...

A brief chronology of virtual reality: from laboratory systems to ubiquitous spatial computing

Virtual reality (VR) developed through the progressive integration of displays, tracking, computation, interaction, and content rather than through a single device lineage. This article first establishes a systems-oriented vocabulary for virtual environments, immersion and presence, sensory feedback, and interactivity....

Catscan: Visualizing Pipelines of CPU Performance Simulation

Processor pipeline visualization tools are routine inside industry CPU teams, but few of them are described or released publicly. As a result, students, researchers, and other practitioners rarely see the tooling that processor architects use to debug performance before silicon. This paper describes two pieces of Amper...

Interactive Power Flow in the Browser

This paper introduces tellegen, an open source framework for interactive power flow (PF) and optimal power flow (OPF) studies that run in the browser. This provides intuitive and democratized access to power system analysis tools compiled to WebAssembly. A user can drag and drop a case file, click and drag to change a...

WIP: DBWorkout: A Gamified SQL Practice Platform to Support Formative Learning in Database Courses

This research WIP paper presents DBWorkout, a web-based platform that supports formative SQL learning through sandbox-based execution, automated result-based feedback, and session-based gamification. Learning Structured Query Language (SQL) remains challenging for undergraduate students due to limited opportunities for...

Understanding Student Use of Large Language Models Across Computer Science Subfields

This research full paper examines how undergraduate students use large language models (LLMs) across computer science subfields. As LLMs become increasingly integrated into computing education, understanding how their use varies across technical and pedagogical contexts is essential for designing effective, subfield-aw...

Toward Humanoid Robots in Construction: A Teleoperation Feasibility Study

We present a teleoperation system that enables a single operator to perform construction tasks on a Unitree G1 humanoid, combining extended reality (XR) based upper body control with pedal-based locomotion to enable simultaneous manipulation and locomotion. Motivated by persistent labor shortages, hazardous working con...

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.
