Towards Detecting AI-Assisted Responses in Online Surveys

The paper introduces ASURRE, a benchmark dataset for detecting AI‑assisted responses in online surveys. It evaluates how different LLM usage strategies—ranging from full generation to persona‑grounded agentic completion—affect the performance of existing machine‑generated text detectors. The study finds that while naive AI usage is easily detected, more sophisticated persona‑grounded agents approach chance performance, yet still leave identifiable behavioural traces that can be aggregated to improve detection.

Pseudo-Label Augmentation for Affect Sensing in Small Collaborative Groups

The study examines pseudo‑label augmentation for affect sensing in small collaborative groups using the GroupAffect‑4 dataset, which includes wearable physiology, eye tracking, personality traits, and post‑task valence, arousal, and dominance (VAD) labels. Various augmentation strategies—no augmentation, Gaussian Process pseudo‑labelling, personality‑aware trust weighting, and joint personality‑plus‑confidence weighting—were evaluated within a shared target‑construction pipeline. Results show that pseudo‑label augmentation improves performance over a labelled‑only baseline in the known‑team setting, with the joint personality‑plus‑confidence variant achieving the highest dominance score, while personality similarity mainly serves as a same‑team filter rather than a calibrated trust signal.
