Meal awareness can help people reflect on hydration, chewing rhythm, and conversation-heavy meals, but many eating-sensing approaches rely on cameras, microphones, food photographs, or repeated self-logging. PPG and IMU offer a narrower sensing path by capturing physiological and motion patterns around meal-adjacent ac...
Users browsing the web struggle to locate relevant information on cluttered pages and to complete web navigation tasks. Current web agents can answer questions and automate actions, but return answers without showing where the information comes from, forcing users to manually verify results and blindly trust every auto...
AI assistants on smart glasses need to know what surrounds the user and what the user is looking at. Obtaining this context typically relies on a world-facing camera, raising privacy concerns for bystanders. We present GlintMarkers, a system for gaze-anchored spatial perception using a single inward-facing eye camera....
Picky eating can limit children's dietary variety and create tension in family feeding routines. Existing food-related technologies often focus on mealtime intervention or standalone educational artifacts, offering limited support for connecting low-pressure narrative engagement with children's real-world food explorat...

It is argued that AI/ML methods were born from specific platform and internet infrastructures, and so they can struggle to integrate with very different (in this case meteorological) ways of organizing data pipelines.
LLM-powered computer-use agents (CUAs) shift users from direct manipulation to supervising an unfolding action sequence, yet existing oversight research mostly evaluates static decisions rather than real-time oversight across an agent trajectory. We compared four oversight strategies with 48 participants across 192 liv...
In today's in-person group discussions, smartphones are integrated as intelligent workstations; yet given their co-presence in such face-to-face interactions, whether and how they may enhance people's behavioral engagement with others remains underexplored. This work investigates how animating personal smartphones to m...
Personalized social media feeds infer preferences from behavior, leaving people little direct control over what they see. Existing controls range from post-level reactions to rules and natural language, but little is known about how people use them together or how added expressiveness changes effort. We built PILOT, a...
Online communities rely on volunteer moderators to maintain order. Despite their key role, moderators are given a toolbox of punishments and far less support for encouraging contributions they want to see more of. We introduce the Positive Queue as a positive counterpart to Reddit's modqueue: a dedicated space for mode...
HCI often draws on users' articulated needs and expectations to explore design opportunities for emerging technologies. Yet, these accounts are shaped by how technologies take form over time. We examine this dynamic through a two-phase interview study of enterprise AI in a project-based software development organizatio...
The results suggest that differences in both experience with values and professional domain can impact how values are translated into designs, and that while software engineers did not misunderstand the principles, theologians had a broader understanding.
Children increasingly turn to online information access systems that are primarily designed for the mainstream population, e.g., adults, but possess a limited understanding of how these systems work, contributing to their unstructured and ineffective search practices. This lack of knowledge can hinder their curiosity 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.
Able to defeat top-ranked human players and more efficient than other models, the new system could help decision-makers in military maneuvers or business negotiations.
