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 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…
