During his daughter’s wedding weekend last year, Mikael Dolsten was running through a flurry of emotions. He was thinking about the marriage, but also about starting a new biotech. The former Pfizer chief scientific officer …
SK Life Science Xcopri ad meets a roadblock with FDA untitled letter
A few months after SK Life Science began rolling out a road trip-themed TV commercial for its antiseizure medication Xcopri, the FDA is attempting to put the brakes on the ad.
J&J abandons Alzheimer’s antibody in setback for tau
Hopes that anti-tau drugs could emerge as treatments for Alzheimer’s have been dented by the failure of a phase 2b trial of J&J’s posdinemab.
Lilly becomes first $1trn+ pharma company
Eli Lilly has become the first pharma group to reach a value of more than $1 trillion, joining a select group populated mainly by tech giants.
Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi to rejoin Lilly board
Carolyn Bertozzi is rejoining the board of Eli Lilly on Dec. 8, the pharma giant disclosed in a Friday evening SEC filing. The 2022 Nobel laureate, who has …
GhostEI-Bench: Do Mobile Agents Resilience to Environmental Injection in Dynamic On-Device Environments?
arXiv:2510.20333v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed as autonomous agents to navigate mobile graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Operating in dynamic on-device ecosystems, which include notifications, pop-ups, and inter-app interactions, exposes them to a unique and underexplored threat vector: environmental injection. Unlike prompt-based attacks that manipulate textual instructions, environmental injection corrupts an […]
Designing Domain-Specific Agents via Hierarchical Task Abstraction Mechanism
arXiv:2511.17198v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-driven agents, particularly those using general frameworks like ReAct or human-inspired role-playing, often struggle in specialized domains that necessitate rigorously structured workflows. Fields such as remote sensing, requiring specialized tools (e.g., correction, spectral indices calculation), and multi-step procedures (e.g., numerous intermediate products and optional steps), significantly challenge generalized approaches. To […]
SweeperBot: Making 3D Browsing Accessible through View Analysis and Visual Question Answering
arXiv:2511.14567v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accessing 3D models remains challenging for Screen Reader (SR) users. While some existing 3D viewers allow creators to provide alternative text, they often lack sufficient detail about the 3D models. Grounded on a formative study, this paper introduces SweeperBot, a system that enables SR users to leverage visual question answering […]
REMSA: An LLM Agent for Foundation Model Selection in Remote Sensing
arXiv:2511.17442v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation Models (FMs) are increasingly used in remote sensing (RS) for tasks such as environmental monitoring, disaster assessment, and land-use mapping. These models include unimodal vision encoders trained on a single data modality and multimodal architectures trained on combinations of SAR, multispectral, hyperspectral, and image-text data. They support diverse RS […]
Agentifying Agentic AI
arXiv:2511.17332v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI seeks to endow systems with sustained autonomy, reasoning, and interaction capabilities. To realize this vision, its assumptions about agency must be complemented by explicit models of cognition, cooperation, and governance. This paper argues that the conceptual tools developed within the Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS) community, such […]
Observer-Aware Probabilistic Planning Under Partial Observability
arXiv:2502.10568v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this article, we are interested in planning problems where the agent is aware of the presence of an observer, and where this observer is in a partial observability situation. The agent has to choose its strategy so as to optimize the information transmitted by observations. Building on observer-aware Markov […]
A novel approach to classification of ECG arrhythmia types with latent ODEs
arXiv:2511.16933v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 12-lead ECGs with high sampling frequency are the clinical gold standard for arrhythmia detection, but their short-term, spot-check nature often misses intermittent events. Wearable ECGs enable long-term monitoring but suffer from irregular, lower sampling frequencies due to battery constraints, making morphology analysis challenging. We present an end-to-end classification pipeline to […]
