A Novel User Study Design for Investigating the Didactic Potential of Explanations and their Impact on Uncertainty Evaluating the quality of explanations in Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is to this day a challenging problem, with ongoing debate in the research community. While some advocate for establishing standardized offline metrics, others emphasize the importance of human-in-the-loop (HIL)... Learning Recourse Costs from Pairwise Feature Comparisons This paper presents a novel technique for incorporating user input when learning and inferring user preferences. When trying to provide users of black-box machine learning models with actionable recourse, we often wish to incorporate their personal preferences about the ease of modifying each... Real or Robotic? Assessing Whether LLMs Accurately Simulate Qualities of Human Responses in Dialogue Studying and building datasets for dialogue tasks is both expensive and time-consuming due to the need to recruit, train, and collect data from study participants. In response, much recent work has sought to use large language models (LLMs) to simulate both human-human and human-LLM interactions, as...
