Like digital technologies themselves, programming education is embedded in the colonial matrix of power, and access to programming knowledge demands immersion in the epistemologies of the Global North. While there is a growing body of work exploring ways ...

This demonstration paper presents an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered interactive interface designed to enhance interview training for military veterans transitioning to civilian jobs. The interface uses large language models (LLMs) to provide real-...

Despite the widespread adoption of Vision-Language Understanding (VLU) benchmarks such as VQA v2, OKVQA, A-OKVQA, GQA, VCR, SWAG, and VisualCOMET, our analysis reveals a pervasive issue affecting their integrity: these benchmarks contain samples where ...

Complex language is a major factor that separates humans from other intelligent animals. In AI, mainstream opinions favor the use of large language models (LLM) which treat language as a proxy for intelligence. We hold the position a more ...

The Language of Zelda is an educational game that re-imagines “The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past” for French language learning. With the integration of ChatGPT for non-player characters (NPCs), the game allows players to interact with NPCs to ...

While social media data is a valuable source for inferring human behavior, its in-practice utility hinges on extraneous factors. Notable is the “observer effect,” where awareness of being monitored can alter people’s social media use. We present a ...

In the field of Web Engineering, many methods have been proposed to guide developers in designing and coding Web applications. The FrameWeb method is a model-driven approach that targets the development of systems that use certain kinds of frameworks ...

We examine whether and how the time-oriented tendency embedded in languages influences income smoothing. Separating languages into weak- versus strong-future time reference (FTR) groups, we find that firms in weak-FTR countries tend to smooth earnings ...

The quality and effectiveness of psychotherapy sessions are highly influenced by the therapists’ ability to meaningfully connect with clients. Automated assessment of therapist empathy provides cost-effective and systematic means of assessing the ...

Human-centered artificial intelligence (HCAI) seeks to assuage fears about ubiquitous machine agency by framing AI in relation to observable human benefits. Such benefits limn a nebulous future condition of AI-driven “empowerment.” Yet the ...

We integrate foundational theories of meaning with a mathematical formalism of artificial general intelligence (AGI) to offer a comprehensive mechanistic explanation of meaning, communication, and symbol emergence. This synthesis holds ...

Approach and avoidance have been incorporated into language by means of attitudinal verbs; for example, “Pedro admitted/blocked Rosa in WhatsApp.” Representation of attitudes in language would reuse previous motor reactions associated with individuals’ ...

A geospatial Knowledge Graph (KG) is a heterogeneous information network, capable of representing relationships between spatial entities in a machine-interpretable format, and has tremendous applications in logistics and social networks. Existing efforts ...

Sharing personal pronouns (such as they/them, she/her, or he/him) in the workplace helps colleagues respectfully address each other. Many companies currently seek to design and implement new software tools to facilitate pronoun-sharing among employees. ...

English has become an utterly crucial device to take part in global verbal exchange and competition. It is essential to enhance English teaching's flexibility to meet the desires to improve the market economy. Therefore, powerful coaching strategies and ...

Sensorimotor interactions in the physical world and in immersive virtual reality (IVR) offer different feedback. Actions in the physical world almost always offer multi-modal feedback: pouring a jug of water offers tactile (weight-change), aural (the ...

The usage of identity- (e.g., “disabled people”) versus person-first language (e.g., “people with disabilities”) to refer to disabled people has been an active and ongoing discussion. However, it remains unclear which semantic language should be used, ...

Emergent software systems are assembled from a collection of small code blocks, where some of those blocks have alternative implementation variants; they optimise at run-time by learning which compositions of alternative blocks best suit each deployment ...

Parler, a “free speech” platform popular among conservatives, was taken offline in January 2021 due to the lack of moderation of harmful content. While other popular social media platforms were also used to spread conspiratorial, hateful and threatening ...

Among various methods to learn a second language (L2), such as listening and shadowing, Extensive Viewing involves learning L2 by watching many videos. However, it is difficult for many L2 learners to smoothly and effortlessly comprehend video contents ...
