Through the Lens of Human-Human Collaboration: An Configurable Research Platform for Exploring Human-Agent Collaboration

Intelligent systems have traditionally been designed as tools rather than collaborators, often lacking critical characteristics that collaboration partnerships require. Recent advances in large language model (LLM) agents open new opportunities for human-LLM-agent collaboration by enabling natural communication and va…

Matching Explanation Detail to Scene Complexity: Studying Situational Awareness-Specific AI Feedback in Pedestrian Encounter Driving Scenarios

Providing the same level of information through the in-vehicle interface can overwhelm automated vehicle occupants in simple scenarios or leave them underinformed in more demanding situations. This study investigates how human preference for in-vehicle feedback detail scales with scene complexity during pedestrian enc…

Unknown Word Detection for English as a Second Language (ESL) Learners using Gaze and Pre-trained Language Models

English as a Second Language (ESL) learners often encounter unknown words that hinder their text comprehension. Automatically detecting these words as users read can enable computing systems to provide just-in-time definitions, synonyms, or contextual explanations, thereby helping users learn vocabulary in a natural a…

Semi-Supervised Learning forWearable-based Momentary Stress Detection in the Wild

"Physiological and behavioral data collected from wearable or mobile sensors have been used to estimate self-reported stress levels. Since stress annotation usually relies on self-reports during the study, a limited amount of labeled data can be an obstacle to developing accurate and generalized stress-predicting mode…

"Warm Bodies'': A Post-Processing Technique for Animating Dynamic Blood Flow on Photos and Avatars

What breathes life into an embodied agent or avatar? While body motions such as facial expressions, speech and gestures have been well studied, relatively little attention has been applied to subtle changes due to underlying physiology. We argue that subtle pulse signals are important for creating more lifelike and le…

Social Sensing: Assessing Social Functioning of Patients Living with Schizophrenia using Mobile Phone Sensing

Impaired social functioning is a symptom of mental illness (e.g., depression, schizophrenia) and a wide range of other conditions (e.g., cognitive decline in the elderly, dementia). Today, assessing social functioning relies on subjective evaluations and self assessments. We propose a different approach and collect de…

On the Usability of HTTPS Deployment

HTTPS and TLS are the backbone of Internet security, however setting up web servers to run these protocols is a notoriously difficult process. In this paper, we perform two live subjects usability studies on the deployment of HTTPS in a real-world setting. Study 1 is a within subjects comparison between traditional HT…
