What values should an agent align with?
An empirical comparison of general and context-specific values
The pursuit of values drives human behavior and promotes cooperation. Existing research is focused on general values (e.g., Schwartz) that transcend contexts. However, context-specific values are necessary to (1) understand human decisions, and (2) engineer intelligent agents tha

Understanding the hybrid character of computing artefacts on a tool-agent spectrum
In the context of human-agent interaction, we see the emergence of computational artefacts that display hybridity because they can be experienced as tools and agents. In this paper we propose a tool-agent spectrum as an analytical lens that uses ‘intention’ as a central concept.

Zero-shot learning for (dis)agreement detection in meeting trancripts
Comparing latent topic models and large language models
This paper presents a novel approach to detect agreement and disagreement moments between participants in meeting transcripts without relying on labeled data. We propose a model in which disagreement detection is defined as the process of first identifying argumentative theses re

Adversarial Traffic Modifications for the Network Intrusion Detection Domain
A Practical Adversarial Network Traffic Crafting Approach
Adversarial attacks pose a risk to machine learning (ML)-based network intrusion detection systems (NIDS). In this manner, it is of great significance to explore to what degree these methods can be viably utilized by potential adversaries. The majority of adversarial techniques a

Mechanism to detect mismatches and provide recommendations about the users' preference in negotiation support systems
A case study about issue weight mismatches with the pocket negotiator
Negotiation Support Systems (NSSs) can provide help based on the preference setting (domain, issue weights, issue ranking, strategies, etc.) of the users of the systems. However, sometimes the users of the systems might make mistakes in the preference setting. With wrong preferen
