In this tutorial, we build a self-organizing memory system for an agent that goes beyond storing raw conversation history and instead structures interactions into persistent, meaningful knowledge units. We design the system so that reasoning and memory management are clearly separated, allowing a dedicated component to extract, compress, and organize information. At the same time, the main agent focuses on responding to the user. We use structured storage with SQLite, scene-based grouping, and summary consolidation, and we show […]

arXiv:2602.15034v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Large Language Models (LLMs) are reshaping the paradigm of AI for Social Science (AI4SS), rigorously evaluating their capabilities in scholarly writing remains a major challenge. Existing benchmarks largely emphasize single-shot, monolithic generation and thus lack the fine-grained assessments required to reflect complex academic research workflows. To fill this gap, we introduce EduResearchBench, the first comprehensive evaluation platform dedicated to educational academic writing. EduResearchBench is built upon our Hierarchical Atomic Task Decomposition (HATD) […]

arXiv:2602.06191v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study localization and control for unstable systems under coarse, single-bit sensing. Motivated by understanding the fundamental limitations imposed by such minimal feedback, we identify sufficient conditions under which the initial state can be recovered despite instability and extremely sparse measurements. Building on these conditions, we develop an active localization algorithm that integrates a set-based estimator with a control strategy derived from Voronoi partitions, which provably estimates the initial state while ensuring the […]

If you are into vibe coding, you probably know what Codex is. For those unaware, Codex is OpenAI’s cloud-based software engineering agent that can answer questions, fix bugs, and explore ideas right from Slack, Linear, GitHub, and other tools. It automatically pulls context from the conversation to choose the right repo and start working. If you wanted OpenAI to launch a standalone Codex app, that too for macOS, well, it’s finally here.  After months of expanding Codex across […]

When I started writing about AI in 2019, my first article was dedicated to what machine learning is and how it works. It explained the difference between weak and strong (or general) AI and mentioned that we have no idea how to create the latter. Well, in 2023, maybe we actually (finally!) do. I’m talking about multimodal learning. Don’t get me wrong – multimodal learning wasn’t a new concept already in 2019. Back then, TechRepublic called it the […]

arXiv:2602.02519v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The importance of managing feedback practices in higher education has been widely recognised, as they play a crucial role in enhancing teaching, learning, and assessment processes. In today’s educational landscape, feedback practices are increasingly influenced by technological advancements, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). Understanding the impact of AI on feedback generation is essential for identifying its potential benefits and establishing effective implementation strategies. This study examines how AI-generated feedback supports student learning using a […]

arXiv:2601.15309v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Social robots are increasingly applied as health behavior change interventions, yet actionable knowledge to guide their design and evaluation remains limited. This systematic review synthesizes (1) the behavior change strategies used in existing HRI studies employing social robots to promote health behavior change, and (2) the evaluation methods applied to assess behavior change outcomes. Relevant literature was identified through systematic database searches and hand searches. Analysis of 39 studies revealed four overarching categories […]

Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than ever before and often reaches impressive heights. The growth of AI-based startups has accelerated 14 times since 2020. AI has really penetrated any and every corner of our lives: from content creation to fintech to healthcare. However, the problem with AI is that it often doesn’t exactly do what we request of it. It often represents a black box that interprets our queries in its own way. And sometimes it can be […]
