As autonomous drone deployments scale from individual units to coordinated swarms, the human operator's role shifts from direct piloting to high-level supervision. Current interfaces often treat multi-drone control as a scaled-up version of single-drone operation. We instead investigate how reframing fleet supervision as spatial interaction can better support the spatial, temporal, and safety demands of complex missions. We present FleetScape, a Mixed Reality (MR) sandtable system that externali

IntroductionArtificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots are increasingly used in healthcare for applications ranging from symptom triage to lifestyle guidance.

Chest X-ray (CXR) machine learning relies heavily on automated evaluation using reference standards that aim to approximate clinical judgment. However, commonly used report-derived labels for pathology classification or generic image quality metrics for reconstruction may not reliably reflect clinical judgment. We systematically investigate how evaluation-reference choices affect model performance and ranking in both pathology classification and image quality assessment (IQA). To enable controll

Observed standardized test scores are the result of an endogenous process: students strategically allocate effort across multiple retake attempts to improve their outcomes. Because students differ in their ability to make these investments, the interaction between applicant strategy and institutional scoring rules---such as the widely used Single-Sitting and Superscoring policies---can disparately distort observed scores. We develop a strategic framework where students allocate effort in respons

Any-to-any models predict any modality from any combination of others within a single network, a formulation used in multimodal vision and vision-language models, and increasingly in scientific domains such as ecology and astronomy. Existing any-to-any models are typically trained from scratch using encoder-decoder or diffusion architectures, impacting their performance and preventing them from using strong pre-trained decoder-only models as a prior. In this work, we investigate decoder-only any

AI coding agents are being adopted at historic speed, yet security and risk concerns remain the primary barrier to scaling agentic AI across organizations. Existing security controls for coding agents are not systematically distributed to engineering teams, and vendor-native solutions introduce ecosystem dependencies that may not suit every deployment context. This paper investigates whether off-the-shelf security controls can be implemented on commercial AI coding agents and scaled to a distrib

We investigate how well large language models (LLMs) can assist scientific project planning and proposal evaluation. One-page project plans were independently generated for eight expert-conceived research projects in physics, astrophysics, and cosmology by human researchers and three contemporary LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepSeek; mid-2025 models, used with their default tool access). The resulting 32 proposals were blindly evaluated by four human reviewers and two newer frontier LLMs (Claude

This paper investigates how multi-agent systems (MAS)-based on large language models (LLMs) can support actuarial risk modelling, with a particular focus on uncertainty quantification. Actuarial workflows represent a high-stakes decision-support setting where unreliable outputs may lead to incorrect risk assessment, unfair pricing, and regulatory non-compliance. To address uncertainty introduced by the probabilistic nature of LLMs and dependencies between agents, a multi-agent framework is propo

Recommender systems mediate everyday consumption, offering a promising channel for encouraging sustainable choices. Prior research shows that explanations influence users' perceptions of recommendations and can support more informed decisions. We argue that explanations can also serve as behavioral nudges by foregrounding sustainability information at the moment of choice. This study investigates how different behavioral framings of sustainability information in recommendation explanations affec

ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) and Zhipu AI have not only seen their share prices skyrocket, but they have also handed a windfall to their common backer: Alibaba Group Holding.

Alibaba has invested about 7.6 billion yuan in CXMT since 2021. Based on Tuesday’s closing market capitalisation of about 3.14...
