Inferring the Unspoken: Aligning Embodied Agents with Implicit Preferences

Natural-language instructions rarely specify every detail required for embodied action. An agent asked to ``prepare an apple,'' for example, must still determine whether to wash or cut it, where to place it, and in what order to perform these actions. Such decisions often reflect user-specific preferences that are demo...

Noise Adaptive Streaming Audio-Visual Speech Token Enhancement for Robust Full-Duplex Spoken Dialogue Models

Full-duplex spoken dialogue systems enable simultaneous listening and speaking, but their audio-only perception often fails under background noise and overlapping speech, leading to incoherent responses. Recent audio-visual dialogue approaches show that incorporating visual cues such as lip movements improve robustness...

Quantifying the Engagement Trap: Impact of Short-form Video Recommender Systems on Users with ADHD

Short-form video platforms use recommender systems to maximize engagement through highly efficient personalized recommendations. However, the impact of these recommendations on users with ADHD compared to users without ADHD remains underexplored. Through this study, we introduce and operationalize the Engagement Trap,...

Large-Scale User Behavior Analysis in Multimodal AI-Assisted Manual Task Execution

Conversational Task Assistants (CTAs) are multimodal dialogue systems that support users in complex real-world tasks such as cooking and DIY through voice, text, image, and video interactions. Prior user studies have focused on controlled settings, leaving limited understanding of real-world CTA usage at scale. In this...

Flawed but Memorable: Student Critical Reception of Interest-Personalized GenAI Analogies in Computing Education

Motivation: Undergraduate computing students increasingly turn to generative AI (GenAI) tools to understand abstract concepts through analogies. Analogies compare an unfamiliar concept to something familiar, but judging whether the comparison holds requires knowledge of both. GenAI may also embed assumptions about who...

Who Maintains Agent Skills? A Longitudinal Study of Human-Governed, AI-Assisted Skill Maintenance

Lifelong LLM agents increasingly rely on external skill artifacts as one element for preserving and reusing capabilities over time. These skills (usually portable Markdown files such as SKILL.md) describe when and how to apply a capability and must be corrected, expanded, and consolidated as tools and usage patterns sh...

An Agent Model Abstraction for Human-AI Teaming Cognitive Coupling

Industrial environments increasingly rely on collaboration between humans and AI-enabled agents. Effective teamwork requires aligning how agents perceive situations, plan actions to pursue goals, and adapt to changing conditions, yet existing systems lack mechanisms for cross-agent cognitive processes coupling. This pa...

EmoMed: An Emotionally-Aware Agent for Multimodal Medical Support with Real-Time Information Retrieval

We present EmoMed - a multimodal medical consultation agent that adapts its responses based on users'emotional states while maintaining clinical accuracy. The system processes text and medical images, detects affect indicators (anxiety, confusion, urgency) from user input, and adjusts response tone, structure, and deta...

Beyond"AI Helps Humans": Decision-Targeted Evaluation Design for Human-Agent Teams in the Agentic Era

TEAM-Design is proposed, a rule that gives every task two replay probabilities, one per baseline, and it is proved that the rule solves this budgeted design problem, and that drawing the replays at random from recorded probabilities still controls the chance of wrongly declaring that the workflow beats both.

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.
