Understanding the Role of Large Language Models in Personalizing and Scaffolding Strategies to Combat Academic Procrastination

Traditional interventions for academic procrastination often fail to capture the nuanced, individual-specific factors that underlie them.

Understanding Conversational and Expressive Style in a Multimodal Embodied Conversational Agent

Embodied conversational agents have changed the ways we can interact with machines. However, these systems often do not meet users' expectations. A limitation is that the agents are monotonic in behavior and do not adapt to an interlocutor. We present SIVA (a Socially Intelligent Virtual Agent), an expressive, embodie…

Circadian Rhythms and Physiological Synchrony: Evidence of the Impact of Diversity on Small Group Creativity

Circadian rhythms determine daily sleep cycles, mood, and cognition. Depending on an individual's circadian preference, or chronotype (i.e.,``early birds'' and ``night owls''), the rhythms shift earlier or later in the day. Early birds experience circadian arousal peaks earlier in the morning than night owls. Prior wo…
