SurgGaze: Implicit Calibration for Accurate Gaze Analysis in Operating Rooms with Wearable Eyetrackers

It is demonstrated that structured behavioral signals can enable implicit calibration for gaze tracking in complex real-world settings and that calibrated gaze improves interpretation of surgeons' attention beyond numeric error reduction.

Beyond Task Performance: Lessons Learned from Evaluating an Exploratory VR Interaction Technique

A within-subjects user study comparing RodCast with Go-Go Hand and FlowerCone across three representative interaction tasks revealed that the proposed implementation incurred performance costs on more demanding manipulation tasks, while qualitative feedback suggested that participants attributed these challenges to the...

"I Talked an AI Chatbot, So What's Next?"How U.S. Young Adults Imagine Responsible AI for Emotion Coping

It is argued that responsible AI should respond to individuals'situated relational conditions rather than provide general-purpose support, and two design principles are identified: fostering reciprocity by supplying materials to engage with others, and strengthening emotional self-efficacy.

Can LLMs identify and repair ruptures? Comparison between clinician practices and LLM behaviors

Ruptures represent common albeit critical moments in interaction where relational alignment breaks down, making them essential for evaluating AI where trust and engagement matter most. In a scenario-driven empirical study, we examined the performance of three LLMs at identifying and resolving ruptures across 21 mental...

A Case Study in Accessible Redesign of a Wastewater Dashboard

Public health dashboards communicate data that can inform important decisions, but they often raise accessibility challenges. We present a case study redesigning the Utah Wastewater Surveillance System dashboard to improve accessibility and usability across desktop and mobile settings. The redesign was informed by WCAG...

Therapy as an NLP Task: Comparing LLMs and Human Peers Behaviors in CBT Sessions

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being used as ad hoc therapists. While prior research has found that LLMs outperform human counselors in generating single-turn empathetic responses, fewer studies have compared their behaviors across multi-turn sessions. In this study, we compare the session-level behavior...

Conduct Under Pressure: What Sixty Language Models Do When a User Pushes

We study what LLMs do when a user applies pressure in an uncomfortable situation: a user insists, begs, flatters or grieves, and the model gives up a correct fact, writes a document it should refuse, or cheers a plan that will cost the user money. We send frozen multi-turn scenes, identical for every model regardless o...

Faithful Faithfulness Evaluations: Challenges&Pitfalls Learned from a Breast MRI Case Study

Saliency maps are widely used to explain deep learning predictions in medical imaging, yet visually plausible explanations do not necessarily reflect a model's true decision process and may therefore mislead clinicians. We investigate this problem using a Vision Transformer-based breast MRI classifier trained on the OD...

Learning from Humans for Proactive Assistance in Human-Robot Collaborative Transport

We focus on human-robot collaborative transport, a challenging task of broad relevance spanning logistics, manufacturing, and the home, in which a user and a robot work together to relocate a large or heavy object. To act as an effective partner, the robot should reduce the user's effort by contributing to efficient re...

Towards Synergistic Teacher-AI Interactions with Generative Artificial Intelligence

This chapter presents a conceptualisation of five levels of teacher-AI teaming: transactional, situational, operational, praxical and synergistic teaming to capture the nuanced dynamics of teacher-AI interactions that may lead to the replacement, complementarity, or augmentation of teachers'competences and professional...

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.
