AI-enhanced conversational agents for personalized asthma support Factors for engagement, value and efficacy
Asthma-related deaths in the UK are the highest in Europe, and only 30% of patients access basic care. There is a need for alternative approaches to reaching people with asthma in order to provide health education, self-management support and bridges to care. Automated conversational agents (specifically, mobile chatbots) present opportunities for providing alternative and individually tailored access to health education, self-management support and risk self-assessment.

Re-examining Super-Nyquist Frequencies of 68 $δ$ Scuti Stars Utilizing the Kepler Long Cadence Photometry
The high-precision and long-duration photometry provided by the $Kepler$ mission has greatly advanced frequency analyses of a large number of pulsating stars, a fundamental step in asteroseismology. For $δ$ Scuti stars, analyses are typically confined to frequencies below the Nyquist frequency. However, signals above this limit can be reflected into the sub-Nyquist range, especially in long-cadence data, where they may overlap with genuine pulsation modes and lead to misinterpretation.

Previous work focused on physical interventions like exercise and teleconferencing, but overlooked the narrative potential of adaptive strategies. To address this, we designed a collaborative online storytelling experience in social VR, enabling participants in isolation to design an imaginary space journey as a metaphor for quarantine, in order to learn about their isolation adaptation strategies in the process. …

NavVI: A Telerobotic Simulation with Multimodal Feedback for Visually Impaired Navigation in Warehouse Environments
Industrial warehouses are congested with moving forklifts, shelves and personnel, making robot teleoperation particularly risky and demanding for blind and low-vision (BLV) operators. Although accessible teleoperation plays a key role in inclusive workforce participation, systematic research on its use in industrial environments is limited, and few existing studies barely address multimodal guidance designed for BLV users. We present a novel multimodal guidance simulator that enables BLV users …

Visibility vs. Engagement: How Two Indian News Websites Reported on LGBTQ+ Individuals and Communities during the Pandemic
In India, online news media outlets were an important source of information for people with digital access during the COVID-19 pandemic. In India, where "transgender" was legally recognised as a category only in 2014, and same-sex marriages are yet to be legalised, it becomes crucial to analyse whether and how they reported the lived realities of vulnerable LGBTQ+ communities during the pandemic. This study analysed articles from online editions of two English-language newspaper websites, which…

Emphasizing Deliberation and Critical Thinking in an AI Hype World
AI solutionism is accelerated and substantiated by hype and HCI's elevation of novelty. Banning or abandoning technology is unlikely to work and probably not beneficial on the whole either -- but slow(er), deliberate use together with conscientious, critical engagement and non-engagement may help us navigate a post-AI hype world while contributing to a solid knowledge foundation and reducing harmful impacts in education and research.

LEKIA: A Framework for Architectural Alignment via Expert Knowledge Injection
Deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) in high-stakes domains is impeded by a dual challenge: the need for deep, dynamic expert knowledge injection and nuanced value alignment. Prevailing paradigms often address these challenges separately, creating a persistent tension between knowledge and alignment; knowledge-focused methods like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) have limited deep alignment capabilities, while alignment-focused methods like Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF…

The Emotion-Memory Link: Do Memorability Annotations Matter for Intelligent Systems?
Humans have a selective memory, remembering relevant episodes and forgetting the less relevant information. Possessing awareness of event memorability for a user could help intelligent systems in more accurate user modelling, especially for such applications as meeting support systems, memory augmentation, and meeting summarisation. Emotion recognition has been widely studied, since emotions are thought to signal moments of high personal relevance to users. The emotional experience of situation…

Estimating Cognitive Effort from Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Signals using Machine Learning
The estimation of cognitive effort could potentially help educators to modify material to enhance learning effectiveness and student engagement. Where cognitive load refers how much work the brain is doing while someone is learning or doing a task cognitive effort consider both load and behavioral performance. Cognitive effort can be captured by measuring oxygen flow and behavioral performance during a task. This study infers cognitive effort metrics using machine learning models based on oxyge…

Initiating and Replicating the Observations of Interactional Properties by User Studies Optimizing Applicative Prototypes
The science of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is populated by isolated empirical findings, often tied to specific technologies, designs, and tasks. This paper proposes a formalization of user interaction observations (instead of user interfaces) and an associated revealing method (interaction loop diffraction). The resulting interactional properties that are studied in a calibrated manner, are well suited to replication across various conditions (prototypes, technologies, tasks, and user prof…

Effects of Cognitive Distraction and Driving Environment Complexity on Adaptive Cruise Control Use and Its Impact on Driving Performance: A Simulator Study
In this simulator study, we adopt a human-centered approach to explore whether and how drivers' cognitive state and driving environment complexity influence reliance on driving automation features. Besides, we examine whether such reliance affects driving performance. Participants operated a vehicle equipped with adaptive cruise control (ACC) in a simulator across six predefined driving scenarios varying in traffic conditions while either performing a cognitively demanding task (i.e., respondin…

Regression-Based Approach to Anxiety Estimation of Spider Phobics During Behavioural Avoidance Tasks
Phobias significantly impact the quality of life of affected persons. Two methods of assessing anxiety responses are questionnaires and behavioural avoidance tests (BAT). While these can be used in a clinical environment they only record momentary insights into anxiety measures. In this study, we estimate the intensity of anxiety during these BATs, using physiological data collected from unobtrusive, wrist-worn sensors. Twenty-five participants performed four different BATs in a single session,…

Managing level of detail through peripheral degradation: Effects on search performance with a head-mounted display
Two user studies were performed to evaluate the effect of level-of-detail (LOD) degradation in the periphery of head-mounted displays on visual search performance. In the first study, spatial detail was degraded by reducing resolution. In the second study, detail was degraded in the color domain by using grayscale in the periphery. In each study, 10 subjects were given a complex search task that required users to indicate whether or not a target object was present among distracters. Subjects us…

Humans learn to prefer trustworthy AI over human partners
Partner selection is crucial for cooperation and hinges on communication. As artificial agents, especially those powered by large language models (LLMs), become more autonomous, intelligent, and persuasive, they compete with humans for partnerships. Yet little is known about how humans select between human and AI partners and adapt under AI-induced competition pressure. We constructed a communication-based partner selection game and examined the dynamics in hybrid mini-societies of humans and b…
