The power of context: Random Forest classification of near synonyms. A case study in Modern Hindi
arXiv:2604.01425v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synonymy is a widespread yet puzzling linguistic phenomenon. Absolute synonyms theoretically should not exist, as they do not expand language's expressive potential. However, it was suggested that even if synonyms denote the same concept, they may reflect different perspectives or carry distinct cultural associations, claims that have rarely been tested quantitatively. In Hindi, prolonged contact with Persian produced many Perso-Arabic loanwords coexisting with their Sanskrit counterpart, forming numerous synonym pairs. This study investigates whether centuries after these borrowings appeared in the Subcontinent their origin can still be distinguished using distributional data alone and regardless of their semantic content.

Demonstrating SIMA-Play: A Serious Game for Forest Management Decision-Making through Board Game and Digital Simulation
arXiv:2604.04904v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Board games have shown promise as educational tools, but their use in engaging learners with the complex, long-term trade-offs of forest management remains strikingly underdeveloped. Addressing this gap, we investigate how forest growth simulation data can inform decision-making through information visualization and gameplay mechanics. We designed a serious game, SIMA-Play, that enables players to make informed forest management decisions under dynamic environmental and market conditions, simulating forest growth over time and comparing player performance across economic and sustainability outcomes. By using visualization to give players feedback on their choices, at the end of the game, it supports systems thinking and makes the trade-offs i
Exploring Expert Perspectives on Wearable-Triggered LLM Conversational Support for Daily Stress Management
arXiv:2604.04915v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Wearable devices increasingly support stress detection, while LLMs enable conversational mental health support. However, designing systems that meaningfully connect wearable-triggered stress events with generative dialogue remains underexplored, particularly from a design perspective. We present EmBot, a functional mobile application that combines wearable-triggered stress detection with LLM-based conversational support for daily stress management. We used EmBot as a design probe in semi-structured interviews with 15 mental health experts to examine their perspectives and surface early design tensions and considerations that arise from wearable-triggered conversational support, informing the future design of such systems for daily stress mana

Comparing Human Oversight Strategies for Computer-Use Agents
arXiv:2604.04918v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-powered computer-use agents (CUAs) are shifting users from direct manipulation to supervisory coordination. Existing oversight mechanisms, however, have largely been studied as isolated interface features, making broader oversight strategies difficult to compare. We conceptualize CUA oversight as a structural coordination problem defined by delegation structure and engagement level, and use this lens to compare four oversight strategies in a mixed-methods study with 48 participants in a live web environment. Our results show that oversight strategy more reliably shaped users' exposure to problematic actions than their ability to correct them once visible. Plan-based strategies were associated with lower rates of agent problematic-action o
Design Guidelines for Game-Based Refresher Training of Community Health Workers in Low-Resource Contexts
arXiv:2604.04671v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Community Health Workers (CHWs) play a critical role in delivering primary healthcare services in low-resource settings, yet sustaining their training and performance remains a persistent challenge. Prior research has explored digital and game-based approaches for CHW training. However, limited work has synthesized longitudinal design insights into generalizable guidelines for interactive health interventions. Building on a four-year design-based research program involving multiple game-based refresher training systems, including quiz-based mobile apps, physical and augmented reality games, card-based games, and location-based games, we examine which design guidelines support sustained engagement, learning transfer, and contextual appropriate
