arXiv:2602.16900v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Peer health posts surface new uncertainties, such as questions and concerns for readers. Prior work focused primarily on improving relevance and accuracy fails to address users’ diverse information needs and emotions triggered. Instead, we propose directly addressing these by information augmentation. We introduce Evidotes, an information support system that augments individual posts with relevant scientific and anecdotal information retrieved using three user-selectable lenses (dive deeper, focus on positivity, and big picture). In a […]

arXiv:2602.16898v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Task planning for robotic manipulation with large language models (LLMs) is an emerging area. Prior approaches rely on specialized models, fine tuning, or prompt tuning, and often operate in an open loop manner without robust environmental feedback, making them fragile in dynamic settings.We present MALLVi, a Multi Agent Large Language and Vision framework that enables closed loop feedback driven robotic manipulation. Given a natural language instruction and an image of the environment, MALLVi […]

arXiv:2602.16895v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding information-dense documents like recipes and scientific papers requires readers to find, interpret, and connect details scattered across text, figures, tables, and other visual elements. These documents are often long and filled with specialized terminology, hindering the ability to locate relevant information or piece together related ideas. Existing tools offer limited support for synthesizing information across media types. As a result, understanding complex material remains cognitively demanding. This paper presents a framework for […]

arXiv:2602.16894v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In response to the exponential growth in the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, educators, researchers and policymakers have taken steps to integrate artificial intelligence applications into K-12 education. Among these efforts, one equally important approach has received little, if any attention: What if students and teachers were not just learning to be competent users of AI but also its creators? This question is at the heart of CreateAI in which […]

arXiv:2602.16893v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Families raising children with ADHD often experience heightened stress and reactive parenting. While digital interventions promise personalization, many remain one-size-fits-all and fail to reflect parents’ lived practices. We present CalmReminder, a watch-based system that detects children’s calm moments and delivers just-in-time prompts to parents. Through a four-week deployment with 16 families (twelve completed) of children with ADHD, we compared notification strategies ranging from hourly to random to only when the child was inferred […]

arXiv:2602.16891v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent development kits (ADKs) provide effective platforms and tooling for constructing agents, and their designs are critical to the constructed agents’ performance, especially the functionality for agent topology, tools, and memory. However, current ADKs either lack sufficient functional support or rely on humans to manually design these components, limiting agents’ generalizability and overall performance. We propose OpenSage, the first ADK that enables LLMs to automatically create agents with self-generated topology and toolsets while […]

arXiv:2602.16890v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The introduction of generative artificial intelligence applications to the public has led to heated discussions about its potential impacts and risks for K-12 education. One particular challenge has been to decide what students should learn about AI, and how this relates to computational thinking, which has served as an umbrella for promoting and introducing computing education in schools. In this paper, we situate in which ways we should expand computational thinking to include […]

arXiv:2602.16887v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To build a dementia classification model for middle-aged and elderly Brazilians, implemented in Python, combining variable selection and multivariable analysis, using low-cost variables with modification potential. Observational study with a predictive modeling approach using a cross-sectional design, aimed at estimating the chances of developing dementia, using data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil), involving 9,412 participants. Dementia was determined based on neuropsychological assessment and informant-based cognitive function. Analyses were performed using […]

arXiv:2602.16880v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Uniform interpolation is a strong form of interpolation providing an interpretation of propositional quantifiers within a propositional logic. Pitts’ seminal work establishes this property for intuitionistic propositional logic relying on a sequent calculus in which na”ive backward proof-search terminates. This constructive approach has been adapted to a wide range of logics, including intuitionistic modal logics. Surprisingly, no intuitionistic modal logic with independent box and diamond has yet been shown to satisfy uniform interpolation. […]

arXiv:2602.16874v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We examine the use of domain decomposition for potentially more efficient mean curvature flow of surface meshes, whose faces are arbitrary simple polygons. We first test traditional domain decomposition methods with and without overlap of deconstructed domains. And we present adapted Robin transmission conditions of optimized Schwarz method. We then analyze the resulting smoothing from the point of view of shape quality and texture deformation. By decomposing the initial mesh into two sub-meshes, […]
