Can We Trust Machine Learning? The Reliability of Features from Open-Source Speech Analysis Tools for Speech Modeling
Machine learning-based behavioral models rely on features extracted from audio-visual recordings. The recordings are processed using open-source tools to extract speech features for classification models. These tools often lack validation to ensure reliability in capturing behaviorally relevant information. This gap raises concerns about reproducibility and fairness across diverse populations and contexts. Speech processing tools, when used outside of their design context, can fail to capture b…

Never Trust the Manufacturer, Never Trust the Client: A Novel Method for Streaming STL Files for Secure Additive
While additive manufacturing has opened interesting avenues to reimagine manufacturing as a service (MaaS) platform, transmission of design files from client to manufacturer over networks opens up many cybersecurity challenges. Securing client's intellectual property (IP) especially from cyber-attacks emerges as a major challenge. Earlier works introduced streaming, instead of sharing process plan (G-code) files, as a possible solution. However, executing client's G-codes on manufacturer's mach…

KEILLER: Your friend, Vila, he wants no part in this?
SOOLIN: He doesn't trust you, Keiller. He thinks it's a trap.
KEILLER: Suspicious.
AVON: And frequently right. How much further?

Designing DSIC Mechanisms for Data Sharing in the Era of Large Language Models
Training large language models (LLMs) requires vast amounts of high-quality data from institutions that face legal, privacy, and strategic constraints. Existing data procurement methods often rely on unverifiable trust or ignore heterogeneous provider costs. We introduce a mechanism-design framework for truthful, trust-minimized data sharing that ensures dominant-strategy incentive compatibility (DSIC), individual rationality, and weak budget balance, while rewarding data based on both quality …

Assessing AI Explainability: A Usability Study Using a Novel Framework Involving Clinicians
An AI design framework was developed based on three core principles, namely understandability, trust, and usability. The framework was conceptualized by synthesizing evidence from the literature and by consulting with experts. The initial version of the AI Explainability Framework was validated based on an in-depth expert engagement and review process. For evaluation purposes, an AI-anchored prototype, incorporating novel explainability features, was built and deployed online. The primary funct…
