arXiv:2604.06192v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work uses entropy-based signals at multiple representation levels to study reasoning in large language models, but the field remains largely empirical. A central unresolved puzzle is why internal entropy dynamics, defined under the predictive distribution of a model, correlate so robustly with external correctness given by the ground-truth answer. In this paper, we argue that this correlation arises because autoregressive models reason correctly when they accumulate information about the true answer via […]

arXiv:2604.06190v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) is widely used in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) due to its reliability. With the integration of augmented reality (AR), AR-SSVEP enables more intuitive interaction by embedding visual stimuli into real-world environments. However, unlike conventional computer screen-based SSVEP (CS-SSVEP) systems with stable visual conditions, AR-SSVEP performance is influenced by real-world scene factors, such as luminance and color, which degrade stimulus perception and weaken SSVEP elicitation. Nevertheless, existing studies primarily focus […]

arXiv:2604.06189v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Determining the state-space complexity of the game of Shogi (Japanese Chess) has been a challenging problem, with previous combinatorial estimates leaving a gap of five orders of magnitude ($10^{64}$ to $10^{69}$). This large gap arises from the difficulty of distinguishing Shogi positions legally reachable from the initial position among the vast number of valid board configurations. In this paper, we present a high-precision statistical estimation of the number of reachable positions in Shogi. […]

arXiv:2604.06188v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: People increasingly hold sustained, open-ended conversations with large language models (LLMs). Public reports and early studies suggest that, in such settings, models can reinforce delusional or conspiratorial ideation or even amplify harmful beliefs and engagement patterns. We present an audit and benchmarking study that measures how different LLMs encourage, resist, or escalate disordered and conspiratorial thinking. We explicitly compare API outputs to user chat interfaces, like the ChatGPT desktop app or web interface, […]

arXiv:2604.06187v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Artificial intelligence is increasingly used in hiring, raising concerns about how applicants perceive these systems. While prior work on algorithmic fairness has emphasized technical bias mitigation, little is known about how avatar identity cues influence applicants’ justice attributions in an interview context. We conducted a crowdsourcing study with 215 participants who completed an interview with photorealistic AI avatars varied in phenotypic traits (race and sex), followed by a standardized rejection. Using self-reports, sentiment […]

arXiv:2604.06186v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Search algorithms are a foundational topic in artificial intelligence education, yet even simple domains can generate large state spaces that challenge learners’ ability to form accurate mental models. This paper presents an interactive learning system that demonstrates the feasibility of visualising the entire reachable state space of the 8-puzzle (181,440 states), while tightly coupling abstract graph structure with concrete puzzle manipulation. Built using Unity and modern GPU-based rendering techniques, the system enables real-time […]

arXiv:2604.06185v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fulfilling user needs through Large Language Model multi-turn, multi-step tool-use is rarely a straightforward process. Real user interactions are inherently wild, being intricate, messy, and flexible. We identify three key challenges from user behaviour: compositional tasks that demand efficient orchestration of tool-call topologies, implicit intent spread across dialogue turns that require contextual inference, and instruction transition, which mixes task queries, clarifications, and casual conversation, forcing LLMs to adjust their policies on the fly.

arXiv:2604.06184v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a personalized chatbot designed for elderly individuals. The chatbot initiates discussions based on family photos, encouraging users to interact naturally. During these interactions, it generates W questions (who, where, when, and what) to stimulate cognitive function, followed by an open-ended question to promote positive reminiscence. This approach is structured around a goal-oriented dialogue framework. Additionally, after each conversation about a photo, the chatbot analyzes the discussion to identify topics that the […]

arXiv:2604.06183v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Responsiveness in large language model (LLM) applications is widely assumed to be critical, yet the impact of latency on user behavior and perception of output quality has not been systematically explored. We report a controlled experiment varying time-to-first-token latency (2, 9, 20 seconds) across two taxonomy-driven knowledge task types (Creation and Advice). Log analyses reveal that user interaction behaviors were robust to latency, yet varied by task type: Creation tasks elicited more frequent […]

arXiv:2604.06182v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing online benchmarks for mobile GUI agents remain largely app-centric and task-homogeneous, failing to reflect the diversity and instability of real-world mobile usage. To this end, we introduce VenusBench-Mobile, a challenging online benchmark for evaluating general-purpose mobile GUI agents under realistic, user-centric conditions. VenusBench-Mobile builds two core evaluation pillars: defining what to evaluate via user-intent-driven task design that reflects real mobile usage, and how to evaluate through a capability-oriented annotation scheme for fine-grained […]
