How People Use ChatGPT: Conversation-Level Evidence from India, Nigeria, Brazil, and Pakistan

Public understanding of how people use LLM-based conversational AI assistants comes primarily from aggregate platform reports by OpenAI and Anthropic, which apply fixed taxonomies and inferred demographics to hundreds of millions of users and release only summary statistics that outside researchers cannot re-analyze. W...

Who Asked for This? Inline Annotations as Authoring Transactions for Provenance in Agentic Authoring

Writing with AI agents turns a paragraph into the outcome of many requests, yet the finished document rarely explains which request produced which change. We introduce Reactant, an interaction paradigm in which authors place typed inline annotations in their original documents. A verified transaction protocol records e...

Conversational Capture: A Trajectory-Level Framework for Evaluating Generative Engine Optimization in Multi-turn Human-Agent Interaction

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) shapes content to increase its likelihood of being cited by answer engines built on retrieval-augmented large language models. GEO is typically evaluated as a single-turn property: for a fixed query, an evaluator measures a source's visibility in one answer. We argue that the single...

Diptych: Scoped, AI-Interpreted Comparison for Reference Listening in Music Production

Reference listening is a common strategy in music production, but current comparison tools often obscure a key human judgment: deciding what should be compared. We present Diptych, an AI-assisted system that lets users define comparison scope across whole tracks or independently selected segments, while inspecting stru...

Making Sense of Animal-to-Human Drug Development Evidence: Stakeholder Practices, Challenges, and Requirements for AI Tools

Animal models are widely used to study human biology and health interventions, yet translating findings from animal studies to humans remains challenging. Evidence across preclinical and clinical research informs experimental and translational decisions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly reshaping how...

Engagement-Led Segmentation of Gamified Participation Data in a Large-Scale Remote Internship: A Mixed-Methods Study

Gamified points are widely used to represent learner participation, but cumulative point totals provide limited information about how participation changes over time. This limitation matters in continuously enrolling programmes, where learners have different opportunities to accumulate points. This study examines how g...

IDEAL: A Multimodal Domain Adaptation Framework for EEG-Eye Emotion Recognition

Electroencephalography (EEG) emotion recognition serves as a pivotal interface for human-computer interaction, yet the physiological variability across individuals complicates the already challenging task of fusing heterogeneous physiological signals (e.g., EEG and eye movements). However, most prevalent domain adaptat...

Aligning the Incomplete: Joint Distribution Calibration for Multimodal EEG-Eye Emotion Recognition

The success of cross-subject multimodal emotion recognition hinges on maintaining the consistency of the joint data distribution across individuals. However, real-world deployment frequently triggers the \emph{asymmetric joint distribution collapse}: EEG signals suffer from severe cross-subject distribution shifts, whi...

When Data Becomes Judgment: Misaligned Interpretations and Accountability in Food Delivery Platforms

Food delivery platforms mediate service encounters through real-time tracking data. While presented as objective, such data often obscures the situational constraints shaping delivery work, producing systematic misalignments between user perception and courier experience. This study presents a socio-technical analysis...

Present After Presence: Subtraction, Givenness, and the Structure of Being-There

Presence research has often proceeded by addition, treating immersion, embodiment, agency, ownership, co-presence, reciprocity, and temporal simultaneity as conditions that stabilise the sense of being there. Yet immersive video suggests that several of these conditions can be weakened without eliminating Presence. Bui...

When Attention Guardrails Become Barriers to Learning: Towards the Tipping Point

Online learning offers flexibility but lacks the structure of a classroom, where a teacher's presence guides attention. The platform we study restores that structure by monitoring the learner through the webcam during ordinary coursework, interrupting or restarting a video when the learner appears distracted. What such...

Insights on Student Learning from Live Classroom Polls: More Than Right or Wrong

A live classroom poll is usually read through its answer key, as a count of participation and correctness. Yet the same record holds more before any key is fixed, namely who answers early and how the class divides across the options. Whether these key-free signals are stable, and what they reveal, has not been examined...

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.
