COSTAR-A: A prompting framework for enhancing Large Language Model performance on Point-of-View questions
Large Language Models (LLMs) are highly sensitive to prompt design, and making optimized prompting techniques is crucial for generating consistent, high-quality outputs. In this study, we introduce COSTAR-A, a novel prompt engineering framework that enhances the existing COSTAR method, which stands for Context, Objective, Style, Tone, Audience, and Response, by adding the 'Answer' component at the end. We demonstrate that while the original COSTAR framework improves prompt clarity and aligns ou…

Embodied Natural Language Interaction (NLI): Speech Input Patterns in Immersive Analytics
Embodiment shapes how users verbally express intent when interacting with data through speech interfaces in immersive analytics. Despite growing interest in Natural Language Interaction (NLI) for visual analytics in immersive environments, users' speech patterns and their use of embodiment cues in speech remain underexplored. Understanding their interplay is crucial to bridging the gap between users' intent and an immersive analytic system. To address this, we report the results from 15 partici…

MobilityDuck: Mobility Data Management with DuckDB
The analytics of spatiotemporal data is increasingly important for mobility analytics. Despite extensive research on moving object databases (MODs), few systems are ready on production or lightweight enough for analytics. MobilityDB is a notable system that extends PostgreSQL with spatiotemporal data, but it inherits complexity of the architecture as well. In this paper, we present MobilityDuck, a DuckDB extension that integrates the MEOS library to provide support spatiotemporal and other temp…

Human-Centered Development of Indicators for Self-Service Learning Analytics: A Transparency through Exploration Approach
The aim of learning analytics is to turn educational data into insights, decisions, and actions to improve learning and teaching. The reasoning of the provided insights, decisions, and actions is often not transparent to the end-user, and this can lead to trust and acceptance issues when interventions, feedback, and recommendations fail. In this paper, we shed light on achieving transparent learning analytics by following a transparency through exploration approach. To this end, we present the …

Slicing Is All You Need: Towards A Universal One-Sided Algorithm for Distributed Matrix Multiplication
Many important applications across science, data analytics, and AI workloads depend on distributed matrix multiplication. Prior work has developed a large array of algorithms suitable for different problem sizes and partitionings including 1D, 2D, 1.5D, and 2.5D algorithms. A limitation of current work is that existing algorithms are limited to a subset of partitionings. Multiple algorithm implementations are required to support the full space of possible partitionings. If no algorithm implemen…

Edge-to-Cloud Computations-as-a-Service in Software-Defined Energy Networks for Smart Grids
Modern power grids face an acute mismatch between where data is generated and where it can be processed: protection relays, EV (Electric Vehicle) charging, and distributed renewables demand millisecond analytics at the edge, while energy-hungry workloads often sit in distant clouds leading to missed real-time deadlines and wasted power. We address this by proposing, to our knowledge, the first-ever SDEN (Software Defined Energy Network) for CaaS (Computations-as-a-Service) that unifies edge, fo…
