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...
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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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....
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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
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.
