Critical Thinking with Generative AI: A Constraint-First Design Pilot of a Thinking-Partner Intervention

Findings indicate that one semester of GenAI-assisted instruction can move domain learning and self-reported AI literacy but does not move standardized critical thinking, and that the modal student-LLM relationship is one of validation instead of dialogue.

A Task-Driven Framework for Multiscale Ocean Flow Dynamics through Integrated Simulation and Visualization

Internal waves are large-amplitude gravity waves that occur below the ocean surface and propagate along interfaces separating water layers of different densities. Understanding their generation, propagation, and evolution is essential, as these waves play a vital role in the ocean system by contributing to nutrient tra...

Towards the Threshold: A Fall-Risk Anchored Pareto Framework for Virtual Reality Gait Feedback Selection for Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis

Reduced walking speed in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with an increased risk of falls. However, virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation studies often emphasize performance improvements without considering the cognitive and physical effort required to achieve them. This study introduces a threshol...

Fluency Without Evidence: Constraint-First Design and the Limits of Self-Report in AI-Assisted Learning

A generative AI teaching partner should support reasoning over supplying conclusions; however, this has not been tested against learning in an authentic course. Drawing on design-based research, we specify the position as a conjecture map and report a first design cycle in two graduate-level research methods courses. S...

CommSketch: How Speaking while Sketching Steers Human--AI Design Ideation

Designers often speak while sketching when explaining ideas, yet AI design tools often rely on sketches or prompts, overlooking context expressed as ideas develop. We developed a sketch-based AI design interface that jointly interprets sketches and concurrent speech. Through a between-subjects study ($N=24$), we examin...

Rhythm Is a Dancer: Designing Interactive Rhythm Feedback for Beginner Dancers

Learning how to dance can readily overwhelm beginners, especially without effective guidance from a dance teacher. Existing interactive systems often do not sufficiently support the learner's progress. We investigated how targeted feedback on rhythm keeping interactively supports dance practice for novice dancers by in...

Shaping Opinion: Quantifying the Psychological Impact of Autonomous Multi-Agent LLM Interactions

Natural-sounding multi-agent conversational AI is increasingly deployed, fundamentally altering human-machine interaction and human information processing. While prior work largely focuses on algorithmic failure, this study investigates the cognitive ergonomics and socio-cognitive impact of algorithmic competence. We p...

EntityWeaver: Visual Exploration and Curation of Named-Entity Relationships in Document Collections

We present an interactive visualization system for exploring named entities and their relationships across document collections, with a strong focus on handling uncertainty and supporting both distant and close reading. The system is built around a graph that links documents, entity mentions, and entities. Uncertainty...

From Neurons to Conversation: Speech Brain-Computer Interfaces

Speech brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) aim to restore communication by transforming neural activity related to speech, language, or communicative intent into external outputs such as text, synthesized voice, or avatar control. Recent advances in intracortical and electrocorticographic recording, deep sequence models,...

RobotEQ 3.0: Towards Personalized Social Proactive Intelligence in Embodied Agents

Social Proactive Intelligence (SPI) is an emerging research area, aiming to shift embodied agents from reactive assistance toward proactively understanding human needs and executing socially desirable actions. Prior work has largely centered on the average user. However, human expectations are inherently diverse, and p...

"I didn't know how to read a map, but now I can": TouchingSpace, an Audio-Haptic Map for Blind and Low-Vision Readers

Accessible map systems either make a layout explorable by hand or convey information through speech; few combine both to support pre-travel spatial understanding for blind and low-vision (BLV) people. We present TouchingSpace: a system that retrieves map data for an outdoor place and renders its surroundings as bounded...

Targeted and Traceable Investigation of Multi-Agent LLM Dialogue via Semantic Bundling of Knowledge Graphs

This work presents a targeted and traceable approach to investigating multi-agent LLM dialogue, applied to the VAST Challenge 2026 MC1 dataset, and finds that the KG structure enables users to identify actors worth investigating faster and summarizing only the region surrounding an actor of interest better supports per...

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.
