arXiv Paper Examines How Users Mistreat Conversational AI Systems

A new arXiv preprint studies how users direct hostility, coercion, and adversarial pressure at conversational AI models, an area the authors say is often overlooked in favor of research on model-generated harms. The paper argues that understanding when and why such mistreatment happens is needed to correctly interpret model behavior and alignment drift. It appears under the cs.AI category as a new submission.

Conversational XAI interface aims to help operators interpret energy forecasting models

Researchers propose a chat-based explainability assistant designed to help building operators and facility managers understand predictions from complex energy consumption models, including symbolic regressors built with genetic programming. The tool is presented as a way to make model outputs more accessible to non-experts who manage energy use.

Ablation Study Examines Which Speech Cues Drive End-of-Turn Detection

A new arXiv paper investigates how much different aspects of speech contribute to detecting when a speaker has finished their turn in a conversation. The authors run a controlled ablation of a conversational system to separate the relative weight of each modality, noting that the role of semantics versus other cues is still poorly understood. The work targets more natural turn-taking in conversational AI.

arXiv Paper Explores What Chatbots Can and Cannot Do in Problem-Solving Talks

A preprint on arXiv examines the role of chatbots as conversational partners in problem-solving exchanges, asking where their capabilities end. The author draws on ideas from aggregation dynamics, cognitive linguistics, neuropsychology and psychology to frame the analysis. It is a conceptual discussion rather than an experimental study or product announcement.

EVA-Bench: An End-to-End Framework for Evaluating Voice Agents

A new research paper introduces EVA-Bench, a benchmark for assessing voice agents across the entire interaction pipeline. It combines simulated conversations that mimic real usage with metrics tailored to voice-specific behaviors, filling a gap left by earlier evaluation tools that handled these aspects separately. The work responds to the growing deployment of voice agents in enterprise applications.

arXiv Study Presents Expert-Level Crisis Detection in Mental Health Conversations

A newly updated arXiv paper tackles the problem of spotting mental health crisis situations during live, multi-turn conversations instead of isolated snippets of text. The authors note that current models lose considerable accuracy when risk indicators unfold across dialogue turns, and they introduce an approach aimed at expert-level detection in these conversational settings.
