Science Utopia? Closed-Loop LLM Simulation of Academic Research Ecosystems
Yiqiao Jin, Yiyang Wang, Lucheng Fu +8
Scientific progress emerges from a longitudinal ecosystem in which researchers, institutions, funding agencies, collaboration networks, and the scientific literature co-evolve. As…
''Bless his heart... he thought all we did was push a button": Understanding Worker Challenges with U.S. Election Technology
Delaney Gomen, Josiah Hester, Naveena Karusala +1
This paper explores how the technologies U.S. election officials depend on also challenge their work. Every election, misleading narratives stem from errors that occur while using…
Real-time Puncture Detection and Recovery for Pneumatic Soft Actuators
Tejonidhi R. Deshpande, Tingyu Cheng, Josiah Hester
Soft robots offer safe and adaptive interaction with humans and unstructured environments through their inherent ability to deform and comply. Pneumatic actuators are one way to bu…
When LLMs Slow Down: How Environmental Impacts Mediate University Students' LLM Usage
Hyeonwook Kim, Xuesi Chen, Alex Cabral +3
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly being embedded into all facets of society, from search to education, industrial, and financial applications. These systems' carbon and…
CultivAgents: Cultivating Relationship-Centered Multi-Agent Systems for Personalized Gardening
Yiyang Wang, Moeiini Reilly, Britney Johnson +3
Gardening is critical to support well-being, cultural continuity, and food autonomy, yet existing digital tools often provide generic advice that overlooks gardeners' skills, local…
UniSD: Towards a Unified Self-Distillation Framework for Large Language Models
Yiqiao Jin, Yiyang Wang, Lucheng Fu +7
Self-distillation (SD) offers a promising path for adapting large language models (LLMs) without relying on stronger external teachers. However, SD in autoregressive LLMs remains c…
Whose Knowledge Counts? Co-Designing Community-Centered AI Auditing Tools with Educators in Hawai`i
Dora Zhao, Hannah Cha, Michael J. Ryan +5
Although generative AI is being deployed into classrooms with promises of aiding teachers, educators caution that these tools can have unintended pedagogical repercussions, includi…
MASCOT: Multi-Agent Socio-Collaborative Companion Systems
Yiyang Wang, Yiqiao Jin, Alex Cabral +1
Multi-agent systems (MAS) are emerging as promising socio-collaborative companions for emotional and cognitive support. However, existing systems frequently suffer from persona col…
CompanionCast: Toward Social Collaboration with Multi-Agent Systems in Shared Experiences
Yiyang Wang, Chen Chen, Tica Lin +4
Shared experiences are fundamental to social connection, yet media consumption is increasingly solitary. While AI companions offer real-time reactions and emotional regulation, exi…
DissolvPCB: Fully Recyclable 3D-Printed Electronics with Liquid Metal Conductors and PVA Substrates
Zeyu Yan, SuHwan Hong, Josiah Hester +2
We introduce DissolvPCB, an electronic prototyping technique for fabricating fully recyclable printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) using affordable FDM 3D printing, with polyvi…
Focal Split: Untethered Snapshot Depth from Differential Defocus
Junjie Luo, John Mamish, Alan Fu +4
We introduce Focal Split, a handheld, snapshot depth camera with fully onboard power and computing based on depth-from-differential-defocus (DfDD). Focal Split is passive, avoiding…
