arXiv:2604. 04721v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: People often optimize for long-term goals in collaboration: A mentor or companion doesn't just answer questions, but also scaffolds learning, tracks progress, and prioritizes the other person's growth over immediate results.

The study investigates how users switch roles in a human‑AI chess collaboration, using multimodal behavioral signals such as gaze and task‑specific features. Participants mostly retained their roles, but when they switched they showed more exploratory gaze and poorer move quality. A classifier trained on these signals achieved a PR‑AUC of 0.56, indicating that behavioral cues can predict role switches.

The study investigates how humans and AI collaborate on a puzzle task, focusing on referential uncertainty—when a description could refer to multiple objects. It finds that eliciting a belief distribution over candidate pieces yields better calibration and discrimination than raw action probabilities, and that precise descriptions or well‑targeted hedges significantly reduce the acceptance of wrong placements. However, the AI rarely externalizes uncertainty, and poorly targeted hedges can be counterproductive.
