From 'What' to 'How' and 'Why': Sharing LLM-Generated Retrospective Summaries of Older Adults' Passive Tracking Data with Remote Family Members

This work explores how LLMs can be used to generate retrospective summaries from multi-modal tracking data for RFMs of older adults, and finds that RFMs'sensemaking shift from simply presenting''What''data were collected, to explaining''How''is my loved one doing and''Why''.

OmniGUI: Benchmarking GUI Agents in Omni-Modal Smartphone Environments

Current benchmarks for graphical user interface (GUI) agents predominantly rely on static screenshots. However, real-world smartphone interaction routinely requires agents to process transient audio cues and temporal video dynamics that are tightly coupled with the moment of action. To bridge this gap, we introduce Omn...

Deco: Extending Cherished Physical Objects into AI Companion Agents through Dual Embodiment

Physical objects (e.g., plush toys) can transcend materiality to become emotional anchors and provide companionship. However, these bonds remain one-sided because most physical objects cannot reciprocate. AI companions offer responsiveness and personalization, but typically entail building bonds from scratch. We invest...

AromaGen: Interactive Generation of Rich Olfactory Experiences with Multimodal Language Models

AromaGen, an AI-powered 12-channel wearable olfactory system that maps free-form natural-language descriptions to 12 base odorants selected to cover a semantically derived olfactory space, while supporting iterative refinement through natural-language feedback, is presented.

MA-SAPO: Multi-Agent Reasoning for Score-Aware Prompt Optimization

Prompt optimization has become a practical way to improve the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) without retraining. However, most existing frameworks treat evaluation as a black box, relying solely on outcome scores without explaining why prompts succeed or fail. Moreover, they involve repetitive trial-and-er...

Alignment has a Fantasia Problem

It is argued that Fantasia interactions demand a rethinking of alignment research, where AI systems optimize how cognitive responsibility is allocated within an interaction, and highlights gaps in state-of-the-art alignment methods.

Bayesian Active Learning for Intent Disambiguation in Interactive Robot Planning

This work proposes a Bayesian framework that treats clarification as an active learning problem over grounded Signal Temporal Logic task specifications and uses LLMs to initialize candidate formal specifications and translate informative contrasts into natural-language clarification questions, while Bayesian optimizati...

ThinkNet: Compact Architecture Selection and Validation-Gated Ensembles for Subject-Independent MI-EEG Decoding

Practical assistive and rehabilitative brain--computer interfaces require subject-independent motor-imagery EEG (MI-EEG) decoders that generalize to new users under limited target-user data and constrained compute. However, held-out-subject performance can be overstated when test-subject information influences preproce...

EEG-Fusion: Failure-Informed Source-Free Expert Routing for Robust Motor Imagery EEG Decoding

EEG-Fusion is presented, a failure-informed decision-level fusion framework that treats source-free MI decoding as label-free reliability estimation over heterogeneous experts and suggests that label-free reliability estimation can reduce subject-level failure modes in source-free MI-EEG deployment.

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.
