Context-Mediated Domain Adaptation in Multi-Agent Sensemaking Systems

Anton Wolter, Leon Haag, Vaishali Dhanoa et al.

Domain experts possess tacit knowledge that they cannot easily articulate through explicit specifications. When experts modify AI-generated artifacts by correcting terminology, restructuring arguments, and adjusting emphasis, these edits reveal domain understanding that remains latent in traditional prompt-based interactions. Current systems treat such modifications as endpoint corrections rather than as implicit specifications that could reshape subsequent reasoning. We propose context-mediated domain adaptation, a paradigm where user modifications to system-generated artifacts serve as implicit domain specification that reshapes LLM-powered multi-agent reasoning behavior. Through our system Seedentia, a web-based multi-agent framework for sense-making, we demonstrate bidirectional semantic links between generated artifacts and system reasoning. Our approach enables specification bootstrapping where vague initial prompts evolve into precise domain specifications through iterative human-AI collaboration, implicit knowledge transfer through reverse-engineered user edits, and in-context learning where agent behavior adapts based on observed correction patterns. We present results from an evaluation with domain experts who generated and modified research questions from academic papers. Our system extracted 46 domain knowledge entries from user modifications, demonstrating the feasibility of capturing implicit expertise through edit patterns, though the limited sample size constrains conclusions about systematic quality improvements.

InvestChat: Exploring Multimodal Interaction via Natural Language, Touch, and Pen in an Investment Dashboard

Sarah Lykke Tost, Adson Lucas de Paiva Sales, Henrik Østergaard et al.

We designed and implemented InvestChat, a multimodal tablet-based application that supports stock market exploration with multiple coordinated views and an LLM-powered chat. We evaluated the application with 12 novice investors. Our findings suggest that combining natural language, touch, and pen input during stock market exploration facilitates user engagement. Participants leveraged the modalities in complementary ways, enjoying the freedom of choice and finding natural language most effective.

Multi-Agent Data Visualization and Narrative Generation

Anton Wolter, Georgios Vidalakis, Michael Yu et al.

Recent advancements in the field of AI agents have impacted the way we work, enabling greater automation and collaboration between humans and agents. In the data visualization field, multi-agent systems can be useful for employing agents throughout the entire data-to-communication pipeline. We present a lightweight multi-agent system that automates the data analysis workflow, from data exploration to generating coherent visual narratives for insight communication. Our approach combines a hybrid multi-agent architecture with deterministic components, strategically externalizing critical logic from LLMs to improve transparency and reliability. The system delivers granular, modular outputs that enable surgical modifications without full regeneration, supporting sustainable human-AI collaboration. We evaluated our system across 4 diverse datasets, demonstrating strong generalizability, narrative quality, and computational efficiency with minimal dependencies.
