Page 22: Research news on Human-centered AI interfaces

Human-centered AI interfaces encompass computational systems that use machine learning, generative models, and multimodal sensing to mediate, augment, or interpret human communication and behavior. Work in this area spans assistive communication for speech, hearing, and motor impairments, real-time sign language and speech technologies, and social robots that adapt behavior and express empathy. Vision-language models and video analytics support long-video reasoning, activity recognition, and error detection, while interactive agents, privacy-aware speech systems, and affect-sensitive tools enable more accessible, expressive, and context-aware human–AI interaction across physical and virtual environments.

Teaching AI models the broad strokes to sketch more like humans do

When you're trying to communicate or understand ideas, words don't always do the trick. Sometimes the more efficient approach is to do a simple sketch of that concept—for example, diagramming a circuit might help make sense ...

AI learns languages similarly to humans, study shows

An AI system that learns language autonomously develops a language structured in the same way as human language. And just as we humans learn from previous generations, AI models get better when they take advantage of the ...
