Reclaiming the social in social media

This work argues that the harms commonly attributed to social media arise not from technologies supporting social connection but from their implementation within the attention economy, and proposes an architecture that does, making the attention economy not just discouraged but structurally impossible.

Making the Invisible Visible: A Framework for Reflective AI Use in Software Engineering Education

Generative AI (GenAI) is increasingly embedded in software engineering education, supporting activities such as requirements development, design exploration, documentation, and prototyping. However, educators often have visibility only into final artefacts, with limited insight into how students evaluate, verify, and r...

One Sensor, Whole Body - 3D Body Pose from a Single Consumer Earbud IMU

A multimodal capture pipeline is built that records four-view RGB-D video together with an AirPods head IMU and two Striv insole IMUs, synchronize the streams post-hoc, and generate pseudo-ground-truth with SAM 3D Body, yielding a 35-take single-subject benchmark spanning gait, turning, vertical, everyday, and clinical...

You Can't Spot a Deepfake?And Neither Can Your Brain Nor Eyes: A Neurophysiological Framework for Deepfake Exploitation of Cognitive Engagement and Implicit Visual Evaluation

DECEIVE (Deepfake Exploitation of Cognitive Engagement and Implicit Visual Evaluation), a framework that models how deepfake videos are validated as adversarial payloads through behavioral and neuro-physiological screening of viewers, and how attacks can be refined by selecting payloads that evade detection.

WSM-Aware HRI: An IoT-Enhanced Framework for Early Detection and Norm-Guided Repair of Failures with LLM Guidance

WSM-Aware HRI is proposed, an IoT-enhanced modular framework that unifies diverse HRI breakdowns as World-State Mismatches (WSMs) between a human's instruction-implied assumptions and a robot's grounded world model built from multimodal perception and digital augmentation.

CG-Diff: Organizing Code Changes Around Call Graphs

Tools for code review present code changes file-by-file. We argue that, oftentimes, changes can be better organized around a call graph of the changed code. From an empirical study of GitHub pull requests (PRs) in-the-wild, we find that (1) in around 40% of the PRs, more than half of the changed functions (and methods)...

Anatomy of a Spreadsheet Failure, Analysing the EuSpRIG Horror Story Corpus

Spreadsheet disasters have been documented for more than thirty years, but they have not gone away. This paper examines the EuSpRIG horror stories archive as evidence of how ordinary spreadsheets fail and the consequences that follow. After cleaning and deduplication, 121 incidents from 1995 to 2026 were classified int...

The Future of Visualization Dashboards in the Age of Generative AI

Generative AI promises easier dashboard creation, raising questions about the future of dashboards and the people who create and use them. We interviewed 16 experts based in 14 countries about their practices and expectations. Almost all expected dashboards to persist for recurring questions, monitoring, and reporting....

Toward a Culturally Adapted Chinese Language Agent: A Wizard-of-Oz Study of Nonverbal Behavior in Chinese-German Intercultural Interaction

Successful intercultural communication requires more than grammatical competence. It demands sensitivity to culturally embedded social norms whose violation triggers subtle but meaningful nonverbal responses. For German learners of Mandarin Chinese, acquiring this sensitivity is critical yet poorly supported by existin...

From Early Participation to Later Completion: Evidence from a Large-Scale Self-Paced Learning Programme

Large-scale learning programmes generate records that make learner participation observable across different activities. Participation points are commonly used to record and encourage such participation, but their value may extend beyond the activities for which points are awarded. Existing evaluations often examine ga...

"Black Mirror?": Public Sensemaking of AI-Powered Lifelogging

AI-powered lifelogging wearables are emerging as a new class of consumer devices that transform everyday experience into searchable, AI-curated memory archives. We study early public sensemaking around these systems at the moment of their market entry, using the Looki L1 as an empirical lens. Analysing large-scale Chin...
