Creativity from Friction: Human-AI Interaction for Exploratory Structural Design

Ricardo Maia Avelino, Rita Sevastjanova, Tom Van Mele, Philippe Block, Mennatallah El-Assady

AI agents that generate final answers based on user input often do not meet the needs of creative fields. Fields such as structural design and architecture need interactive systems that help users externalise and develop ideas, explore alternatives, and refine partial solutions.…

GeoXplain: On-the-Fly Visual Explanations for Weather Foundation Models

Clemens Walter Koprolin, Leonardo Trentini, Benedikt Soja, Mennatallah El-Assady, Christina Humer

Weather and climate foundation models produce high-dimensional forecasts whose learned relationships are difficult to inspect with static plots alone. GeoXplain is an interactive Python-based visualization toolkit for exploring geospatial attribution maps across climate variables…

From Interaction to Intent: Inferring User Objectives from Provenance Logs

Steffen Holter, Tobias Stähle, Arpit Narechania, Mennatallah El-Assady

The ability to automatically infer analytic intent from user interaction histories could enable interactive AI systems to proactively assist users during exploratory data analysis. In this paper, we examine whether provenance logs -- detailed records capturing sequences and timin…

Building Fast, Evaluating Slow: Pipeline Choices Dominate Autointerpretability Score Variance

Sinie van der Ben, Neele Roch, Anna Hedström, Mennatallah El-Assady

Cross-paper comparison of sparse autoencoder (SAE) interpretability often relies on autointerpretability scores. In this evaluation pipeline, a language model (LM) explains each feature, and another LM scores the explanation. For these comparisons to be meaningful, scores must re…

Where Do Models Find Happiness? Emotion Vectors in Open-Source LLMs

Sinie van der Ben, Raphaël Baur, Yannick Metz, Mennatallah El-Assady

Recent work identified emotion vectors in Claude Sonnet 4.5, which are internal representations that encode emotion concepts, causally influence behavior, and exhibit geometry mirroring human psychological structure. We test the generality of these findings in two open-weight mod…
