This paper interrogates the political and philosophical stakes of AI through the lens of cyborg theory cosmotechnics and glitch feminism. It advocates for a tech-positive critically situated approach to AI as a collaborator and substrate for power relations rather than an autonomous agent of harm. By rejecting the naiv...
Can people distinguish between human and AI agency in humanoid teleoperation? To explore this question, we developed \textit{Ghost-in-the-Loop}, a teleoperation framework that supports both human-operated and AI-generated control of a robot's voice, facial expressions, and gestures while maintaining a consistent embodi...

Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) measures experience in daily life, but fixed questionnaires and schedules collect information of uneven value and can interrupt participants. We present and retrospectively evaluate EMA-E4B, a hybrid framework for question selection and prompt timing. Separate ridge models propose...

MM-SVGEdit is proposed, a multimodal-driven SVG editing approach that integrates traditional SVG editing and LLM-based methods and introduces a two-stage strategy in which visual grounding is followed by modification.
Art2Song is a conceptual framework that expresses artworks as sound by separating Non-Visual Context, which is difficult to perceive from the image alone, from Visual Evidence. Visual Evidence, such as objects, colors, and spatial composition, is transformed into Lyrics, while the Contextual Mood derived from the histo...

Visual search is crucial in daily life, from scanning for relevant information to spotting signs of danger. When sensory channels are overloaded or degraded, cognitive tasks can be supported by crossmodal information representations through vibrotactile cues. We introduce Tactile Search, an approach that uses modulatio...

Personal LLM assistants (health companions, elder-care agents, accessibility aides) are judged by what they remember about a person: a medication or an allergy mentioned in passing and needed days later, so an eviction policy must decide what the cache forgets.

Digital Twins for educational buildings can support sustainability-oriented learning, but their use in schools remains limited. This paper presents a GenAI-based chatbot built on top of an existing Digital Twin for two school buildings in Greece, using real IoT data from environmental sensors and energy meters. The cha...

Human users are interacting with chatbots and companion AI technologies as if they were human. A growing array of AI-systems are now trained to recognise, interpret and simulate feeling in user interactions. Ethical considerations such as fairness, accountability, transparency and explainability (FATE) are paramount in...
Research teams and organizations often explore unfamiliar free-text collections, from survey comments and reviews to reports and domain documents, before labels, queries or coding schemes exist. At this stage, the first thematic map shapes what users notice, prioritize and carry into downstream analysis, so it should b...
FrankenReport, an interface for long-form knowledge-seeking report generation that supports adaptive early exiting per section, is presented, an interface for long-form knowledge-seeking report generation that evaluates intermediate outputs during generation and predicts whether further targeted computation will yield...

Evaluating mobile user interface quality at scale remains a persistent challenge in software engineering and human-computer interaction. Rule-based heuristic methods offer structural reliability but demand significant engineering effort, while human annotation does not scale to the volume of applications produced annua...
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.
