Lexplorer: Navigating the Complexity of Legal Document Landscapes

As technological and social innovations create novel regulatory challenges, legal systems grow in complexity - increasing the need for interfaces that enable effective interactions with legal document collections. Through interviews with legal scholars (n=15), we find that supporting legal work requires going beyond re...

When AI Becomes Hard to Understand: Cognitive Demands in Real-World Human-AI Conversations

Generative AI increasingly supports complex financial and health decisions, yet we know little about when its responses become difficult to process in real-world dialogue. We analyse more than 84,000 ChatGPT and Gemini conversations, using repeated prompting and clarification following misunderstanding as behavioural i...

"Piecing Data Connections Together Like a Puzzle": Effects of Increasing Task Complexity on the Effectiveness of Data Storytelling Enhanced Visualisations

While DS-enhanced visualisations effectively support lower-order tasks (finding data points and understanding insights), they don’t necessarily aid the correct completion of higher-order tasks (application, analysis, evaluation and creation).

[MM/AI] Mental Models in Human-AI Interaction: Methods and Challenges in the Generative and Agentic AI Era (Workshop)

The mental model construct is widely used in HCI to refer to the knowledge structure people hold in order to reason about and interact with computing systems. Yet it is often operationalized intuitively: the construct is often used interchangeably with related concepts (e.g., folk theories, sensemaking) and methods of...

A Scenario-Knowledge-Driven Pipeline for Just-in-Time Assistance

A scenario-knowledge-driven pipeline is proposed: a single scenario knowledge document, human-authored and version-controlled, configures sensing, constrains LLM reasoning, and shapes a graded intervention proposal that appropriateness of these interventions, the pipeline's restraint on sessions without struggle, and t...

The Evolution of Coordination in a Collective Intelligence System: 25 Years of English Wikipedia and the Emergence of Generative AI

English Wikipedia is one of the largest examples of collective intelligence on the Web, sustained not only by article production but also by volunteer coordination and governance. While prior research has examined coordination work in Wikipedia, less attention has been paid to how participation in these spaces has evol...

Available but Unclaimed: An Empirical Study of Human-AI Synergy

People increasingly reason with large language models (LLMs), yet complementary capabilities do not guarantee outperforming both components. In a between-subjects study, participants (N=535) solved a 40-item battery of matrix reasoning, mental rotation, syllogisms, and letter-string analogies, unaided or with GPT-5.6-L...

NephoCodex: Exploring Bounded Material Agency in Weather Data Physicalization

Weather is a complex, continuously changing system in which uncertainty is intrinsic. Physicalizing this uncertainty introduces further variation because computational outputs cannot fully determine material behavior. We distinguish computational uncertainty from material variability and introduce bounded material agen...

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.
