Rethinking the Implications of Human Feedback for Preference Learning in Human-Robot Collaboration

IMPLIED is an implication modeling method that treats fixed-rule implications as an initial guide while learning to infer and revise accepted and rejected action labels over time, and predicts human implications more accurately than the fixed rule approach and LLM baselines, approaching the performance of a human-label...

Oops, Not Now: PEARL, a RAG-Based Support Agent for Gameplay and What Players Want from AI Help

AI-powered gameplay support agents hold promise for game-based learning, yet grounding generative models in structured game data remains an open challenge. We present PEARL (Parallel Education Agent for Reflection and Learning), a dual-component Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that combines semantic knowled...

FaithfulBench: Does AI Counsel Uphold or Undermine the User's Professed Faith?

Do AI assistants help believers reason about moral dilemmas consistently with their faith? We present FaithfulBench, the first benchmark to score AI counsel across traditions by how well it adheres to the user's professed faith. Scenarios are drawn from each tradition's most respected texts, with the faithful answer kn...

Generative AI and Extended Reality in Collaborative Architectural Design Education: An Exploratory Studio Study

Architectural design education relies heavily on visual ideation and representation to support collaborative learning in studio environments. Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and extended reality (XR) offer new opportunities for rapid idea exploration and immersive spatial visualization. Th...

Are LLMs Good Financial User Simulators? A Preliminary Study

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as user simulators, but their ability to reproduce evolving individual financial decisions remains unclear. We present a preliminary study in a controlled paper-trading environment with 120 volunteers. Participants used non-redeemable virtual funds under real-time mark...

Data storytelling meets interpretable machine learning: Decoding AI decisions for non-experts without revealing sensitive data and model details

This study proposes a formal definition of data storytelling in IML, introduces the DIST Pyramid to align data storytelling with IML, and presents the I-P-O Model to describe their interactions, and develops an architecture to explain AI decisions through distinct "What-if" and "Why-not" event-generation processes.

How User-AI Mistreatment Occurs and Matters in Conversational Systems?

It is found that user hostility varies 13-fold across models, driven largely by who each model attracts rather than by model behaviour: first-turn hostility spreads far wider than post-response hostility, and more than fifteenfold separates the extremes even after deduplicating opening prompts.

Root-Cause Attribution Is a Search Problem: Continual Search for Long-Horizon Agent Failures

The increasing deployment of AI agents in long-horizon tasks yields massive execution logs. Diagnosing failures within these records is crucial for reliability, as it transforms outcome-level signals into actionable interventions. The sheer scale of the data renders human review impractical, driving the need for automa...

Echo Chambers and Information Brokers on Truth Social: A Study of Network Dynamics and Political Discourse

This study examines the structural dynamics of Truth Social, a politically aligned social media platform, during two major political events: the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade and the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago. Using a large-scale dataset of user interactions based on re-truths (platform-native repost...

Fine-Tuning Large Language Models for Codebook-Guided Coding of Students'Mathematics Metaphor Responses

Student-generated metaphors about mathematics can provide insights into students'attitudes, beliefs, identities, and experiences, but expert human assessment through thematic coding of these semantically complex metaphor responses is labor-intensive and difficult to scale. This study examines whether Low-Rank Adaptatio...

Digital Reading Materials and Religious Practice: Usage in Personal Study and Religious Education Courses

Religion is an important part of many people's lives, with reading from religious texts being among the most common and important regular practices. Modern technology has changed the way this religious reading takes place, but the interaction of technology with religious reading has not been studied in detail. In this...

Enhancing Presence, Deepening Fan Intensity: How Presence in Immersive Video Shapes Psychological Closeness to Performers

Immersive video differs from conventional flat 2D video in that it is experienced as 180-degree stereoscopic video on a head-mounted display, thereby eliciting bodily and spatial subjective experience. Previous studies have shown that viewing and interpersonal distance affect Presence; however, it remains insufficientl...

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.
