"Are You Really Sure?" Understanding the Effects of Human Self-Confidence Calibration in AI-Assisted Decision Making
In AI-assisted decision-making, it is crucial but challenging for humans to achieve appropriate reliance on AI. This paper approaches this problem from a human-centered perspective, "human self-confidence calibration". We begin by proposing an analytical framework to highlight the importance of calibrated human self-confidence. In our first study, we explore the relationship between human self-confidence appropriateness and reliance appropriateness. Then in our second study, We propose three ca…

How much self-confidence you must have as a developer to do a live stream writing code.
I have a feeling that if I did something like that and a senior programmer saw what I was doing they'd tear their eyes out and hire a hitman to kill me.

This is the sort of story which (again) gives confidence that AGS is a responsible, professional, grownup and accountable force, and not a bunch of self-indulgent self-serving (innumerate) incompetents who will not accept oversight (but who hold police powers)...

Confidence-Aware Decision-Making and Control for Tool Selection
Self-reflecting about our performance (e.g., how confident we are) before doing a task is essential for decision making, such as selecting the most suitable tool or choosing the best route to drive. While this form of awareness -- thinking about our performance or metacognitive performance -- is well-known in humans, robots still lack this cognitive ability. This reflective monitoring can enhance their embodied decision power, robustness and safety. Here, we take a step in this direction by int…

it's annoying that people who have lots moralize the strategies people who don't have use to survive.
on the flip side, it's hard to not be over-pampering.
common learned strategies:
- resource hunting (asking dad vs mom, or a less experienced volunteer when the shift lead says no)
- fragmenting for assistance (slightly different requests to many people)
- hoarding (if you've never endured scarcity you might not get this)
Nothing wrong with that strategy, just we're also trying to help out the polite / hesitant folks who don't vouch for themselves
or dealing with a limited "one phone per family" budget because money in a charity is f-ing tight.
assume the best of the people you're trying to help, but don't commit the org to promises (even saying maybe can be seen as commitment that might backfire) - call the case manager and let them work it out.
trying to avoid codependency and encouraging them to try it themselves / gain confidence in a new place, encourage independence and self sufficiency.

To Reach the Unreachable: Exploring the Potential of VR Hand Redirection for Upper Limb Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation therapies are widely employed to assist people with motor impairments in regaining control over their affected body parts. Nevertheless, factors such as fatigue and low self-efficacy can hinder patient compliance during extensive rehabilitation processes. Utilizing hand redirection in virtual reality (VR) enables patients to accomplish seemingly more challenging tasks, thereby bolstering their motivation and confidence. While previous research has investigated user experience and…

Are self-explanations from Large Language Models faithful?
Instruction-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at many tasks and will even explain their reasoning, so-called self-explanations. However, convincing and wrong self-explanations can lead to unsupported confidence in LLMs, thus increasing risk. Therefore, it's important to measure if self-explanations truly reflect the model's behavior. Such a measure is called interpretability-faithfulness and is challenging to perform since the ground truth is inaccessible, and many LLMs only have an infe…

Being trans has taught me to work on my self-confidence. Sometimes I feel like a cardboard wall because sometimes something will bust through.
But you know whose opinion of me matters? Mine and the opinion of my fiancé @…. No other opinions matters to me.
Being trans is a journey of blocking out the negative voices.

Telling them that their brains are deficient means that right from the start they have no chance at the self-confidence they need, and deserve. They've been told they will fail, before they even started.

Self-Perception Versus Objective Driving Behavior: Subject Study of Lateral Vehicle Guidance
Advancements in technology are steering attention toward creating comfortable and acceptable driving characteristics in autonomous vehicles. Ensuring a safe and comfortable ride experience is vital for the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles, as mismatches in driving styles between humans and autonomous systems can impact passenger confidence. Current driving functions have fixed parameters, and there is no universally agreed-upon driving style for autonomous vehicles. Integrating drivin…

RELIC: Investigating Large Language Model Responses using Self-Consistency
Large Language Models (LLMs) are notorious for blending fact with fiction and generating non-factual content, known as hallucinations. To address this challenge, we propose an interactive system that helps users gain insight into the reliability of the generated text. Our approach is based on the idea that the self-consistency of multiple samples generated by the same LLM relates to its confidence in individual claims in the generated texts. Using this idea, we design RELIC, an interactive syst…

The Efficient Shrinkage Path: Maximum Likelihood of Minimum MSE Risk
A new generalized ridge regression shrinkage path is proposed that is as short as possible under the restriction that it must pass through the vector of regression coefficient estimators that make the overall Optimal Variance-Bias Trade-Off under Normal distribution-theory. Five distinct types of ridge TRACE displays plus other graphics for this efficient path are motivated and illustrated here. These visualizations provide invaluable data-analytic insights and improved self-confidence to resea…
