Semantic-aware Digital Twin for AI-based CSI Acquisition
Artificial intelligence (AI) substantially enhances channel state information (CSI) acquisition performance but is limited by its reliance on single-modality information and deployment challenges, particularly in dataset collection. This paper investigates the use of semantic-aware digital twin (DT) to enhance AI-based CSI acquisition. We first briefly introduce the motivation and recent advancements in AI-driven CSI acquisition and semantic-aware DT employment for air interfaces. Then, we thor…

On using AI for EEG-based BCI applications: problems, current challenges and future trends
Imagine unlocking the power of the mind to communicate, create, and even interact with the world around us. Recent breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially in how machines "see" and "understand" language, are now fueling exciting progress in decoding brain signals from scalp electroencephalography (EEG). Prima facie, this opens the door to revolutionary brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) designed for real life, moving beyond traditional uses to envision Brain-to-Speech, Brain-to-…

Conceptualization, Operationalization, and Measurement of Machine Companionship: A Scoping Review
The notion of machine companions has long been embedded in social-technological imaginaries. Recent advances in AI have moved those media musings into believable sociality manifested in interfaces, robotic bodies, and devices. Those machines are often referred to colloquially as "companions" yet there is little careful engagement of machine companionship (MC) as a formal concept or measured variable. This PRISMA-guided scoping review systematically samples, surveys, and synthesizes current scho…

FPGA & VPU Co-Processing in Space Applications: Development and Testing with DSP/AI Benchmarks
The advent of computationally demanding algorithms and high data rate instruments in new space applications pushes the space industry to explore disruptive solutions for on-board data processing. We examine heterogeneous computing architectures involving high-performance and low-power commercial SoCs. The current paper implements an FPGA with VPU co-processing architecture utilizing the CIF & LCD interfaces for I/O data transfers. A Kintex FPGA serves as our framing processor and heritage accel…

Towards a unified user modeling language for engineering human centered AI systems
In today's digital society, personalization has become a crucial aspect of software applications, significantly impacting user experience and engagement. A new wave of intelligent user interfaces, such as AI-based conversational agents, has the potential to enable such personalization beyond what other types of interfaces could offer in the past. Personalization requires the ability to specify a complete user profile, covering as many dimensions as possible, such as potential accessibility cons…

Watch Github for what happens for companies that go all-in on AI.
Notice all the details that are wrong now. Notice the docs. Notice the confusion between different interfaces. Notice the UI jank in new places. This is what happens when engineering decisions are made by default instead of discussion and planning. This is what happens when writing (already easier than editing) becomes even easier without improving editing.

Correlative angstrom-scale microscopy and spectroscopy of graphite-water interfaces
Water at solid surfaces is key for many processes ranging from biological signal transduction to membrane separation and renewable energy conversion. However, under realistic conditions, which often include environmental and surface charge variations, the interfacial water structure remains elusive. Here we overcome this limit by combining three-dimensional atomic force microscopy and interface-sensitive Raman spectroscopy to characterize the graphite-water interfacial structure in situ. Throug…

Research and Analysis of Employers' Opinion on the Necessary Skills that Students in the Field of Web Programming Should Possess
In the era of artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots, based on large language models that can generate programming code in any language, write texts and summarize information, it is obvious that the requirements of employers for graduating students have already changed. The modern IT world offers significant automation of programming through software frameworks and a huge set of third-party libraries and application programming interfaces (APIs). All these tools provide most of the necessary…

WebXAII: an open-source web framework to study human-XAI interaction
This article introduces WebXAII, an open-source web framework designed to facilitate research on human interaction with eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) systems. The field of XAI is rapidly expanding, driven by the growing societal implications of the widespread adoption of AI (and in particular machine learning) across diverse applications. Researchers who study the interaction between humans and XAI techniques typically develop ad hoc interfaces in order to conduct their studies. The…

The Agentic Economy
Generative AI has transformed human-computer interaction by enabling natural language interfaces and the emergence of autonomous agents capable of acting on users' behalf. While early applications have improved individual productivity, these gains have largely been confined to predefined tasks within existing workflows. We argue that the more profound economic impact lies in reducing communication frictions between consumers and businesses. This shift could reorganize markets, redistribute powe…

Feedstack: Layering Structured Representations over Unstructured Feedback to Scaffold Human AI Conversation
Many conversational user interfaces facilitate linear conversations with turn-based dialogue, similar to face-to-face conversations between people. However, digital conversations can afford more than simple back-and-forth; they can be layered with interaction techniques and structured representations that scaffold exploration, reflection, and shared understanding between users and AI systems. We introduce Feedstack, a speculative interface that augments feedback conversations with layered affor…
