Entropy in Conversational AI: Structured Unpredictability as Inferrable Interiority

This work formalizes a different design target, structured unpredictability, as conditional dependence between an output and a persistent hidden state beyond what an observer can infer from the transcript, as conditional dependence between an output and a persistent hidden state beyond what an observer can infer from t...

Gaze as Evidence for Common Grounding: A Cross-Corpus Analysis of MapTask and MUNDEX

In collaborative tasks with asymmetric information, participants coordinate their understanding through interaction. We ask whether gaze provides evidence about grounding across two such tasks. Working from discrete behavioral annotations, we map HCRC MapTask (Anderson et al., 1991) and MUNDEX (T\"urk et al., 2023) int...

Mind the Style: Impact of Communication Style on Human-Chatbot Interaction

It is suggested that chatbot communication style influences users' perceptions of conversational agents and may improve performance relative to less supportive chatbot designs, but the overall value of chatbot interaction depends on the task context.

A Survey on Bridging EEG Signals and Generative AI: From Image and Text to Beyond

This survey consolidates and analyzes developments across EEG-to-image synthesis, EEG-to-text generation, and EEG-to-audio reconstruction, and highlights open-source datasets and baseline implementations to facilitate systematic benchmarking and accelerate progress in EEG-driven neural decoding.

Affora: A Design System for Agent-Friendly Interfaces

Computer-use agents increasingly operate software designed for people, but interfaces often leave actions or task state unclear to machine readers. We present Affora, a design system that supports both readers while preserving visual freedom and familiar human workflows. Three controlled studies examine component imple...

GYROval: A Robust Benchmark for Cultural Value Orientation in Large Language Models

GYROval - Gridded Yielding of Robust value Orientation is presented, together with the results of administering it to twenty models, a robust benchmark for measuring cultural value orientation in large language models on the two Inglehart-Welzel axes over several domains and roles.

Beyond Accuracy: How Procedural Traces Shift the Decision Criterion of LLM Overseers

Organizations increasingly use oversight loops where one large language model (LLM) audits another's outputs alongside procedural traces of claimed steps. A common concern about such LLM-as-a-judge pipelines is that detailed traces make overseers gullible. Using signal detection theory, we audit five LLM overseers on 1...

Does AI Assistance Leave a Temporal Fingerprint? Detecting Overreliance in AI-Assisted Writing and Programming

This work analyzes three public corpora: CoAuthor (1,447 keystroke-level co-writing sessions), RealHumanEval (editor telemetry from 243 programmer records), and a pre-LLM CS1 corpus as a human-only baseline, comparing minimal-AI work, collaborative AI use, and simulated wholesale delegation.

Lexara-RF: Reference-Free Metrics for Evaluating Conversational Visual Analytics Agents

This work introduces Lexara-RF, a reference-free set of metrics that scores CVA outputs using only the prompt, data, and model response, and reformulate evaluation as verification: 13 metrics operationalize visualization design theory and Gricean cooperative principles as computable consistency, intent-alignment, and d...

Measuring AI Leadership: Development and Validation of a Multidimensional Measure for AI-Native Organizations

AI is changing what leaders must judge, explain, learn, and coordinate, yet existing measures do not capture these behaviors at the level needed to study leadership in AI-enabled work. We develop the AI Leadership Battery, which organizes 36 behaviorally specific subdimensions into 11 theory-specified content families....

Learning Heterogeneous Preferences

Learning from human feedback has become a central paradigm for training modern AI systems, where models of human utility are used as reward models in policy learning. Existing methods typically assume a \emph{universal utility} function shared across a population and treat disagreement between annotators as stochastic...

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.
