The paper "Ask or Assume?" is accepted to EMNLP 2026 Findings (authors nedwards99 and sebschu, poster session Oct 26). Key result: coding agents can be turned into proactive collaborators that independently know when to ask for help on real-world coding tasks, instead of assuming and proceeding blindly, improving human-agent collaboration.
