Adaptive Forgetting for Nonstationary Optimization: Towards Robust EEG Decoding

Electroencephalography (EEG) provides non-invasive monitoring of brain activity and is widely used in emotion recognition, motor imagery and sleep staging. Although within-subject decoding has achieved considerable progress, cross-subject generalization remains a central challenge in practical applications. EEG decoder...

Traits Run Deeper: Trait-Specific Asymmetric Fusion for Multimodal Personality Assessment

Personality assessment aims to infer stable traits from dynamic behaviors across modalities like language, voice, and facial expressions. Existing approaches often adopt a uniform multimodal fusion strategy for all personality dimensions, overlooking trait-specific modality preferences and causing cross-modal interfere...

Examining Community-Requested Fact-Checking: Request Alerts Are Associated with Greater Diversity and Visibility of Community Notes

Crowdsourced fact-checking systems such as Community Notes are increasingly used on social media platforms, yet concerns remain about which content receives scrutiny and how visible that scrutiny is. X allows users to request notes for specific posts. When sufficient requests accumulate, an alert is displayed, creating...

Resize, Remix, Regen: Frankensteining IoT Design Methods

There are numerous IoT design methods. Previous research shows that all of them have their strengths, but also their limitations. None of them is a universal, all-purpose method. However, experts often view these methods as more versatile than their creators intended. Therefore, analyzing existing methods and tools, as...

Leveling the Playing Field: Temporal Video Segmentation for Individuals with ADHD in Computing Education

Individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often face significant barriers in computing education. In asynchronous learning environments, instructional videos can impose high extraneous cognitive load, often relying on assumptions about sustained attention and working memory that do not align with...

Learning Password Best Practices Through In-Task Instruction

Users often make security- and privacy-relevant decisions without a clear understanding of the rules that govern safe behavior. We introduce pedagogical friction, a design approach that inserts brief, instructional interactions at the moment of action. We evaluate this approach in the context of password creation, a fa...

Machines, AI and the past//future of things

This essay explores a techno-artistic experiment that reanimates a 1980s East German typewriter using a contemporary AI language model. Situated at the intersection of media archaeology and speculative design, the project questions dominant narratives of progress by embedding generative AI in an obsolete, tactile inter...

How Researchers Use and Verify AI Coding Assistants: Tasks and Validation Practices in Scientific Programming

Generative AI has entered research programming, yet there is little evidence about which tasks researchers hand to it or how they decide whether its code is correct. We draw on 527 free-text responses to a 2025 survey of researchers who write code, most of them at U.S. universities. In each response, a researcher recou...

Learned Parametric Emotion Editing: Real-Time Affective Filtering for On-Device Social Media Video

Problematic internet use affects a growing share of the population, yet common interventions, e.g., time limits, blocking, forced breaks, are coercive and easily circumvented. We explore a less restrictive alternative: adapting the emotional intensity of visual content. Prior work has shown that optimization can steer...

Open Platform Field Experiments: Expanding the Design Space of Experimental Research on Social Media

Despite a growing demand for causal evidence about social media, independent researchers remain severely constrained in their ability to conduct experiments directly on online platforms. To cope, multiple methodological workarounds have emerged - from controlled surveys and simulations to client-side overlays and platf...

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.
