Tool-Assisted CVSS Vulnerability Scoring: A Controlled Quantitative Study of Human Assessment

Quantitative vulnerability assessment is central to security management, guiding how risks are prioritized and mitigated. Yet, severity scoring relies on human judgment and is therefore subject to differences in experience, interpretation, and diligence; prior work has even shown expert disagreement. We examine an NLP…

Script-Strategy Aligned Generation: Aligning LLMs with Expert-Crafted Dialogue Scripts and Therapeutic Strategies for Psychotherapy

Chatbots or conversational agents (CAs) are increasingly used to improve access to digital psychotherapy. Many current systems rely on rigid, rule-based designs, heavily dependent on expert-crafted dialogue scripts for guiding therapeutic conversations. Although advances in large language models (LLMs) offer potential…

Transparent Conversational Agents: The Impact of Capability Communication on User Behavior and Mental Model Alignment

When a user interacts with a conversational agent for the first time, they may not be aware of the agent's capabilities, leading to suboptimal use or interaction breakdowns. To avoid a mismatch with the actual capabilities, the agent's capabilities have to be made transparent to the user. To investigate whether commu…

Interacting Like a Girl: Considering Body Comportment in the Design of Embodied Interactions

Recently, design research has embraced more-than-human perspectives to explore the complex entanglements of our world, decentering the human subject and eliminating dualistic thinking. Despite these advances, further progress is needed to develop a future that equally considers all beings. This paper examines the impa…

Technologies Supporting Self-Reflection on Social Interactions: A Systematic Review

As intelligent technology and applications have become an integral part of nearly all aspects of people's daily lives, many intelligent systems have been designed to help people navigate the complex space of social interactions. One prominent strategy for such intelligent support is providing meaningful Ad Hoc Interve…

Understanding Home Router Configuration Habits & Attitudes

Home routers serve as a gateway to the Internet and configuration issues such as weak passwords can simply be introduced by users that configured them, potentially leading to severe consequences. The most critical phase in the lifecycle of a home router is perhaps the initial setup intended for users to complete. Yet,…

Pixel Memories: Do Lifelog Summaries Fail to Enhance Memory but Offer Privacy-Aware Memory Assessments?

We explore the metaphorical "daily memory pill" concept – a brief pictorial lifelog recap aimed at reviving and preserving memories. Leveraging psychological strategies, we explore the potential of such summaries to boost autobiographical memory. We developed an automated lifelogging memory prosthesis and a research…

Back to School - Sustaining Recurring Child-Robot Educational Interactions After a Long Break

Maintaining the child-robot relationship after a significant break, such as a holiday, is an important step for developing sustainable social robots for education. We ran a four-session user study (n = 113 children) that included a nine-month break between the third and fourth session. During the study, participants p…

Design Specifications for a Social Robot Math Tutor

To benefit from the social capabilities of a robot math tutor, instead of being distracted by them, a novel approach is needed where the math task and the robot's social behaviors are better intertwined. We present concrete design specifications of how children can practice math via a personal conversation with a soci…

'Yes, I comply!': Motivations and Practices around Research Data Management and Reuse across Scientific Fields

As science becomes increasingly data-intensive, the requirements for comprehensive Research Data Management (RDM) grow. This often overwhelms scientists, requiring more workload and training. The failure to conduct effective RDM leads to producing research artefacts that cannot be reproduced or reused. Past research p…
