    cs.HC · cs.AI

    Background and Context: Question and inquiry are integral parts of knowledge seeking and learning. Despite their importance, students tend not to ask enough questions in the classroom. However, studies have shown that students interact extensively with generative AI systems for learning and problem solving. Objective: In this paper, we seek to better understand the types of questions that students ask AI systems, and how those questions...

    cs.HC · cs.AI

    Large language models are pushing data science toward increasingly autonomous and agentic workflows, with recent systems already supporting multi-step and long-running analyses. As these workflows become more autonomous, conventional interfaces no longer provide adequate support for two critical requirements: observability for understanding an agent's evolving reasoning and evidence, and steerability for redirecting low-value directions or...
