Scanvas: Discovering and Developing Synergistic Opportunities in Generative Design Spaces
Yaqing Yang, Aniket Kittur, Hongyu Howie Wang +4
Good design is often synergistic, creating super-additive value by linking goals so that existing resources produce greater outcomes. However, finding these synergistic opportuniti…
StructSim: Measuring Idea Similarity at Scale Through Structural Representation
Yaqing Yang, Yaqing yang, Vikram Mohanty +4
Measuring idea similarity is fundamental to creativity evaluation, especially as LLMs enable idea generation at increasing scale. However, text embeddings collapse an idea into a s…
ACME: A Multi-Cultural, Multi-Embodiment Social-Navigation Dataset
Shashank Rao Marpally, Allan Wang, Atharva Ghotavadekar +35
Understanding how robots and humans move in shared spaces is essential for designing effective social robot navigation policies and predicting human behavior. However, existing dat…
EcoAssist: Embedding Sustainability into AI-Assisted Frontend Development
André Barrocas, Nuno Jardim Nunes, Valentina Nisi +1
Frontend code, replicated across millions of page views, consumes significant energy and contributes directly to digital emissions. Yet current AI coding assistants, such as GitHub…
Supervising Ralph Wiggum: Exploring a Metacognitive Co-Regulation Agentic AI Loop for Engineering Design
Zeda Xu, Nikolas Martelaro, Christopher McComb
The engineering design research community has studied agentic AI systems that use Large Language Model (LLM) agents to automate the engineering design process. However, these syste…
Ceci N'est Pas un Drone: Investigating the Impact of Design Representation on Design Decision Making When Using GenAI
Zeda Xu, Nikolas Martelaro, Christopher McComb
With generative AI-powered design tools, designers and engineers can efficiently generate large numbers of design ideas. However, efficient exploration of these ideas requires desi…
Prototyping Multimodal GenAI Real-Time Agents with Counterfactual Replays and Hybrid Wizard-of-Oz
Frederic Gmeiner, Kenneth Holstein, Nikolas Martelaro
Recent advancements in multimodal generative AI (GenAI) enable the creation of personal context-aware real-time agents that, for example, can augment user workflows by following th…
FlexMind: Supporting Deeper Creative Thinking with LLMs
Yaqing Yang, Vikram Mohanty, Yan-Ying Chen +3
Expert ideation requires more than generating ideas. People must articulate trade-offs, develop mitigations, and compare parallel directions, yet this reasoning process is cognitiv…
Scaffolding Flexible Ideation Workflows with AI in Creative Problem-Solving
Yaqing Yang, Vikram Mohanty, Nikolas Martelaro +3
Divergent thinking in the ideation stage of creative problem-solving demands that individuals explore a broad design space. Yet this exploration rarely follows a neat, linear seque…
Exploring the Potential of Metacognitive Support Agents for Human-AI Co-Creation
Frederic Gmeiner, Kaitao Luo, Ye Wang +2
Despite the potential of generative AI (GenAI) design tools to enhance design processes, professionals often struggle to integrate AI into their workflows. Fundamental cognitive ch…
From Overload to Insight: Scaffolding Creative Ideation through Structuring Inspiration
Yaqing Yang, Vikram Mohanty, Nikolas Martelaro +3
Creative ideation relies on exploring diverse stimuli, but the overwhelming abundance of information often makes it difficult to identify valuable insights or reach the `aha' momen…
BioSpark: Beyond Analogical Inspiration to LLM-augmented Transfer
