Experts Rise Where LLMs Disagree: Using Cross-Model Disagreement to Target Expert Effort in LLM Codebook Revision for Large-Scale Annotation

Large-scale text annotation brings expert insight to millions of documents, often through a codebook that AI annotators follow. Developing a robust codebook, however, takes months. Large language models (LLMs) could speed this process by applying an early codebook to the data, surfacing cases with strong LLM disagreeme...

VisCanvas: A Node-Based Interface for Exploratory Visualization Authoring with LLMs

Visual data analysis involves both open-ended exploration and targeted question answering. Visualization authoring tools support this process by enabling users to create visualizations for these tasks. With the rise of large language models (LLMs), substantial effort has been devoted to developing visualization authori...

Trade-offs in Financial AI: Explainability in a Trilemma with Accuracy and Compliance

This study empirically investigates how practitioners prioritize explainability relative to four competing factors: accuracy, compliance, cost, and speed, and reveals that these priorities are structured not as a simple trade-off, but as a system of distinct prerequisites and constraints.

Mirror Skin: In Situ Visualization of Robot Touch Intent on Robotic Skin

Effective communication of robot touch intent is essential for safe and predictable physical human-robot interaction. While intent communication has been widely studied, existing approaches lack the spatial specificity and semantic depth necessary to efficiently convey robot touch intent. We present Mirror Skin, a ceph...

Human-Centricity in Industry 5.0: A Survey of Worker Sensing, Adaptive Operations, and Human-in-the-Loop Systems

Industry 5.0 (I5.0) repositions manufacturing around a human-centric vision in which cyber-physical systems must adapt to the worker rather than the other way around. Despite significant advances in worker state monitoring technologies, including markerless computer vision, wearable physiological sensors, and machine-l...
