- Distilling Aggregate Mobility Statistics into a Language Model Policy for Post-Event Crowd Simulation
Pedestrian simulators need a behaviour rule for every agent, but privacy usually limits the data for setting one to aggregate statistics, namely zone-level device counts and origin-to-destination (OD) flows, with no individual trajectories. Such aggregates under-determine individual behaviour, becau...
- When Do LLM Agents Help? Deadline-Aware Mixed-Criticality Task Scheduling at the Autonomous-Vehicle Edge
Autonomous vehicles offload latency-sensitive perception tasks to nearby mobile edge computing (MEC) servers, where a missed safety-critical task is unsafe rather than merely degraded. Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly proposed as adaptive, explainable schedulers, yet evidence of when th...
- An Evidence-Grounded Multi-Agent System for High-Level Bio-Robot Design
In this paper, a bio-robot is an engineered living or biohybrid system in which living cells perform one or more core functions, such as sensing, information processing, actuation or output. We focus on systems whose cell-based functions are programmed by genetic circuits; physical movement is optio...
- Delegating or Doing? Understanding User Behavior in Hybrid Human-Agent Interfaces
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly embedded into applications, allowing users to complete tasks either through direct manipulation or by delegating actions to conversational agents. However, little is known about how users balance these modalities when both are available. We present a web...
- Does Listening Matter? Backchanneling and Nodding in AI Clone
AI clones that imitate a specific person typically reproduce what the person says and how they sound, but not how they listen. We investigate whether adding multimodal listening behaviors gives such a clone more presence and authenticity. We integrated verbal backchannels and head nodding, driven by...
- IRIS: Navigating and Reflecting on Writing Traces Using Intelligent Document Histories
Much of the text produced throughout the lifetime of a document is impermanent. In this paper, we explore how writing activity traces can be made visible and interactive to help writers navigate their document histories and understand their writing processes. Using the Flower and Hayes cognitive pro...
- Generating Diverse Personas for User Simulators to Test Interview Dialogue Systems
This paper addresses the issue of the significant labor required to test interview dialogue systems. While interview dialogue systems are expected to be useful in various scenarios, like other dialogue systems, testing them with human users requires significant effort and cost. Therefore, testing wi...
- Privacy-Preserving Detection of Rare Disease-Associated Cell Subsets via Secure Multi-Party Computation
The detection of rare disease-associated cell subsets from high-dimensional single-cell measurements is critical for understanding diseases such as leukaemia and viral infections. CellCnn, a convolutional neural network (CNN) designed for this task, has demonstrated the ability to identify phenotype...
- TrustRAG: Blockchain-Enhanced RAG via Committee-Based Credibility Scoring
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) lets Large Language Models (LLMs) pull in up-to-date, domain-specific information instead of relying only on what they were trained on. Yet most RAG systems still draw from centralized databases with limited oversight, making it difficult to verify where a docume...
- COPA: Continual Preference Optimization for Adaptive Prompt Injection Defense
LLMs remain vulnerable to prompt injection attacks, where adversarial instructions embedded in user inputs or external content manipulate model behavior and bypass safeguards. Existing defenses are predominantly static, relying on fixed alignment objectives or attack-specific filtering mechanisms th...
- Tracking the Trend in How Speech Synthesizers Deceive People
Advances in speech synthesis have made deepfake audio highly realistic. Earlier studies reported 70-80% human detection accuracy, but relied primarily on older synthesizers. We compare human detection for three selected voice synthesis tools released in 2019, 2022, and 2024 with 82 IT professionals,...
