Who Is Sycophantic to Whom? Confident LLMs, Human Deference, and the Collapse of Trust Calibration
Deepthika S, Pawni Yadav, B. Sankar
Research on sycophancy asks whether large language models (LLMs) bend towards what their users want to hear. We ask the reverse question: when an LLM is confident, consistent, and…
Creating an Atomic User Model for Personality-Aware Large Language Model Interaction
B. Sankar, Deepthika S, Pawni Yadav +1
Assistants built on large language models are expected to write in their users' own voice. Most systems summarise the user's preferences and include the summary in the prompt. This…
Asking Questions the Right Way: A Multi-Agent Conversational System for Prompt Formulation in Complex Task Resolution
B. Sankar, Pawni Yadav, Srinidhi Ranjini Girish +1
Large language models (LLMs) are integral to complex intellectual tasks, yet output quality remains constrained by user-provided prompts. Iterative multi-turn prompting often leads…
Git for Sketches: An Intelligent Tracking System for Capturing Design Evolution
Sankar B, Amogh A S, Sandhya Baranwal +1
During product conceptualization, capturing the non-linear history and cognitive intent is crucial. Traditional sketching tools often lose this context. We introduce DIMES (Design…
Progressive Ideation using an Agentic AI Framework for Human-AI Co-Creation
Sankar B, Srinidhi Ranjini Girish, Aadya Bharti +1
The generation of truly novel and diverse ideas is important for contemporary engineering design, yet it remains a significant cognitive challenge for novice designers. Current 'si…
The Interplay of Attention and Memory in Visual Enumeration
B. Sankar, Devottama Sen, Dibakar Sen
Humans navigate and understand complex visual environments by subconsciously quantifying what they see, a process known as visual enumeration. However, traditional studies using fl…
Attention is also needed for form design
B. Sankar, Dibakar Sen
Conventional product design is a cognitively demanding process, limited by its time-consuming nature, reliance on subjective expertise, and the opaque translation of inspiration in…
A Novel Idea Generation Tool using a Structured Conversational AI (CAI) System
B. Sankar, Dibakar Sen
This paper presents a novel conversational AI-enabled active ideation interface as a creative idea-generation tool to assist novice designers in mitigating the initial latency and…
A Novel Mathematical Framework for Objective Characterization of Ideas
B. Sankar, Dibakar Sen
The demand for innovation in product design necessitates a prolific ideation phase. Conversational AI (CAI) systems that use Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT (Generative Pr…
Transforming Pixels into a Masterpiece: AI-Powered Art Restoration using a Novel Distributed Denoising CNN (DDCNN)
Sankar B., Mukil Saravanan, Kalaivanan Kumar +1
Art restoration is crucial for preserving cultural heritage, but traditional methods have limitations in faithfully reproducing original artworks while addressing issues like fadin…
