Spectral Localization Principle for Entanglement Harvesting
Hao Xu
We propose a unified physical principle for entanglement harvesting: the entanglement that two localized detectors can extract from a quantum field is determined solely by how loca…
Position: Behavioral Systems Require Behavioral Tests
Manuel Cherep, Nikhil Singh, Pattie Maes
Artificial agentic systems increasingly operate as behavioral systems by interacting with dynamic environments, pursuing goals, and adapting over time. Yet, current evaluation meth…
Visual Persuasion: What Influences Decisions of Vision-Language Models?
Manuel Cherep, Pranav M R, Pattie Maes +1
The web is littered with images, once created for human consumption and now increasingly interpreted by agents using vision-language models (VLMs). These agents make visual decisio…
Feeling the Facts: Real-time Wearable Fact-checkers Can Use Nudges to Reduce User Belief in False Information
Chitralekha Gupta, Nadia Victoria Aritonang, Dixon Prem Daniel Rajendran +3
Misinformation can spread rapidly in everyday conversation, where pausing to verify is not always possible. We envision a wearable system that bridges the timing gap between hearin…
Discovering and Steering Interpretable Concepts in Large Generative Music Models
Nikhil Singh, Manuel Cherep, Pattie Maes
The fidelity with which neural networks can now generate content such as music presents a scientific opportunity: these systems appear to have learned implicit theories of such con…
A Framework for Studying AI Agent Behavior: Evidence from Consumer Choice Experiments
Manuel Cherep, Chengtian Ma, Abigail Xu +3
Environments built for people are increasingly operated by a new class of economic actors: LLM-powered software agents making decisions on our behalf. These decisions range from ou…
