Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled social simulation through multi-agent systems. Prior efforts focus on agent societies created from scratch, assigning agents with newly defined personas. However, simulating…
Amid current social distancing measures requiring people to work from home, there has been renewed interest on how to effectively converse and collaborate remotely utilizing currently available technologies. On the surface, VR provides a…
Vast improvements in natural language understanding and speech recognition have paved the way for conversational interaction with computers. While conversational agents have often been used for short goal-oriented dialog, we know little…
AI agents, empowered by Large Language Models (LLMs) and communication protocols such as MCP and A2A, have rapidly evolved from simple chatbots to autonomous entities capable of executing complex, multi-step tasks, demonstrating great…
World building forms the foundation of any task that requires narrative intelligence. In this work, we focus on procedurally generating interactive fiction worlds---text-based worlds that players "see" and "talk to" using natural language.…
Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing social skills and emotional well-being in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Through a technical exploration, this study employs a multiplayer serious gaming…
We introduce DrawTalking, an approach to building and controlling interactive worlds by sketching and speaking while telling stories. It emphasizes user control and flexibility, and gives programming-like capability without requiring code.…
Socially interactive agents are gaining prominence in domains like healthcare, education, and service contexts, particularly virtual agents due to their inherent scalability. To facilitate authentic interactions, these systems require…
Testing conversational AI systems at scale across diverse domains necessitates realistic and diverse user interactions capturing a wide array of behavioral patterns. We present a novel multi-agent framework for realistic, explainable human…
Although coding agents have introduced new coordination dynamics in collaborative software development, detailed interactions in practice remain underexplored, especially for the code review process. In this study, we mine agent-authored PR…
This paper presents a real-time generative drawing system that interprets and integrates both formal intent - the structural, compositional, and stylistic attributes of a sketch - and contextual intent - the semantic and thematic meaning…
Realistic trajectory generation with natural language control is pivotal for advancing autonomous vehicle technology. However, previous methods focus on individual traffic participant trajectory generation, thus failing to account for the…
Interaction with the physical environment and different users is essential to foster a collaborative experience. For this, we propose an interaction based on a central point represented by an Augmented Reality marker in which several users…
Creating data videos that effectively narrate stories with animated visuals requires substantial effort and expertise. A promising research trend is leveraging the easy-to-use natural language (NL) interaction to automatically synthesize…
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) have shown great potential in delivering personalized and adaptive education, but their widespread adoption has been hindered by the need for specialized programming and design skills. Existing approaches…
AI ethics narratives have the potential to shape the public accurate understanding of AI technologies and promote communication among different stakeholders. However, AI ethics narratives are largely lacking. Existing limited narratives…
Dialogue authoring in large games requires not only content creation but the subtlety of its delivery, which can vary from character to character. Manually authoring this dialogue can be tedious, time-consuming, or even altogether…
Users interact with text, image, code, or other editors on a daily basis. However, machine learning models are rarely trained in the settings that reflect the interactivity between users and their editor. This is understandable as training…
Comics have long been a popular form of storytelling, offering visually engaging narratives that captivate audiences worldwide. However, the visual nature of comics presents a significant barrier for visually impaired readers, limiting…
In automated user interactive design, designers face key challenges, including accurate representation of user intent, crafting high-quality components, and ensuring both aesthetic and semantic consistency. Addressing these challenges, we…
