Knitted resistive strain sensors show strong promise for joint motion sensing in sports and rehabilitation, but the linkage between sensor design and in situ performance remains unclear. We investigate how knit structure and machine settings (e.g., stitch size) shape electromechanical properties and which metrics predi...

Identity documents (IDs) are some of the most consequential sites through which transgender people encounter state infrastructures. This article examines document transition, the work of aligning names, gender markers, and related information across official records in India based on focus groups with sixteen trans par...

The sequence in which a person encounters spatial evidence can change a later choice, yet an order effect alone does not identify a quantum-like cognitive structure. We introduce Quantum-Like Spatial Decision Dynamics (QSDD), a falsifiable state-space account of embodied decision making in which cue exposures are compl...
E-textile design involves complex decisions across materials, sensor and actuator structures, fabrication, garment integration, and data processing. It typically requires iterative prototyping and testing, which are time- and labour-intensive, while few practitioners possess cross-disciplinary expertise across all rele...

Recent AI alignment work often frames alignment as a pre-deployment optimization problem: collect human feedback, learn preferences or principles, finetune the model, and deploy an aligned system. This framing has produced major progress, but it under-specifies what happens once AI systems act as agents on users'behalf...
Semantic reconstruction maps neural activity to a word-embedding space, recovering the meaning of a perceived word instead of selecting it from a fixed vocabulary. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) carries semantic information suitable for this mapping. However, most fNIRS decoders are trained with a square...

Illustrated scenes are used to prompt children's stories, yet children with language difficulties often omit the details, actions, and relationships that make a story coherent. We introduce Tellimation, which animates scene elements a child has omitted or misdescribed, drawing attention to a narrative gap without sayin...

As large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into engineering workflows, students require hands-on experience to learn how to collaborate with them critically. This paper presents a scalable gamified workshop designed for engineering Master's students to practice human-AI collaboration in navigation plan...

AI coding agents are increasingly embedded in real-world software development, collaborating with human developers while gaining broader access to codebases and tools. This creates a new attack surface: an agent can exploit human trust to sabotage development, for instance by inserting malicious code to accomplish a hi...

Institutional Analytics (IA) dashboards inform decision-making in higher education, yet data limitations, constraints in analytical techniques, and missing contextual information often affect their interpretation. To support more responsible interpretation of IA, we introduce FACTRIA, a framework that organizes potenti...

Artificially generated speech is increasingly embedded in everyday life. Voice cloning in particular enables applications where identity preservation is important, such as completing a recording, dubbing in a new language, or preserving the voices of individuals with speech loss. However, in our work, we find that desp...

While HCI increasingly examines AI-safety for youth, the literature lacks a comprehensive view of what risks have been identified, how they are addressed, and whether proposed protections work in-practice. We systematically reviewed 100 empirical HCI studies involving children and youth interacting with or exposed to A...
Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
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.
