• Abstract summary: R/antiwork is a subreddit for the antiwork movement, which is the desire to stop working altogether. We create a new dataset for antiwork sentiment detection and train a model that highlights the words with antiwork sentiments. We perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis to uncover some of the key insights into the mindset of individuals who identify with the antiwork movement.

• Abstract: Harsh working environments and work-related stress have been known to contribute to mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. As such, it is paramount to create solutions that can both detect employee unhappiness and find the root cause of the problem. While prior works have examined causes of mental health using machine learning, they typically focus on general mental health analysis, with few of them focusing on explainable solutions or looking at the workplace-specific setting. r/antiwork is a subreddit for the antiwork movement, which is the desire to stop working altogether. Using this subreddit as a proxy for work environment dissatisfaction, we create a new dataset for antiwork sentiment detection and subsequently train a model that highlights the words with antiwork sentiments. Following this, we performed a qualitative and quantitative analysis to uncover some of the key insights into the mindset of individuals who identify with the antiwork movement and how their working environments influenced them. We find that working environments that do not give employees authority or responsibility, frustrating recruiting experiences, and unfair compensation, are some of the leading causes of the antiwork sentiment, resulting in a lack of self-confidence and motivation among their employees.

  We build upon prior work that studies assistance through the lens of empowerment. An assistive agent aims to maximize the influence of the human's actions. We prove that these representations estimate a similar notion of empowerment to that studied by prior work.

  The American Psychological Association's 2021 report indicates that 71% of employees experience stress or tension. This stress contributes significantly to workplace attrition and absenteeism, with 61% of attrition and 16% of sick days attributed to poor mental health. This research addresses this challenge by presenting a groundbreaking stress detection algorithm that provides real-time support preemptively.

• Unveiling Technorelief: Enhancing Neurodiverse Collaboration with Media Capabilities [0.0]
  The implications of collaboration on the cognitive, socio-affective experiences of autistic workers are poorly understood. We ask how digital technologies alleviate autistic workers' experiences of their collaborative work environment. The resulting "technorelief" enables autistic workers to tune into their perceptions and regain control of their collaborative experiences.

  We focus on twelve established large language models (LLMs) and subject them to a questionnaire commonly used in psychiatry. Our results show that six of the latest LLMs respond robustly to the anxiety questionnaire, producing comparable anxiety scores to humans. Anxiety-induction not only influences LLMs' scores on an anxiety questionnaire but also influences their behavior in a previously-established benchmark measuring biases such as racism and ageism.

  Humans have needs motivating their behavior according to intensity and context. We also create preferences associated with each action's perceived pleasure, which is susceptible to changes over time. This makes decision-making more complex, requiring learning to balance needs and preferences according to the context.

We meticulously design questions that target the understanding of (1) action dependencies and effects, (2) intents and goals, and (3) agents' beliefs about others. We evaluate state-of-the-art video reasoning models on our benchmark and show their significant gaps between humans in understanding complex goal-oriented egocentric videos.

  Intrinsically motivated RL attempts to remove this constraint by defining an intrinsic reward function. Motivated by the self-consciousness concept in psychology, we make a natural assumption that the agent knows what constitutes itself. We mathematically formalize this reward as the mutual information between the agent state and the surrounding state.
