arXiv:2603.12294v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In a context of growing agricultural demand and new challenges related to food security and accessibility, boosting agricultural productivity is more important than ever. Reducing the damage caused by invasive insect species is a crucial lever to achieve this objective. In support of these challenges, and in line with the […]
VQQA: An Agentic Approach for Video Evaluation and Quality Improvement
arXiv:2603.12310v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite rapid advancements in video generation models, aligning their outputs with complex user intent remains challenging. Existing test-time optimization methods are typically either computationally expensive or require white-box access to model internals. To address this, we present VQQA (Video Quality Question Answering), a unified, multi-agent framework generalizable across diverse input […]
SHREC: A Spectral Embedding-Based Approach for Ab-Initio Reconstruction of Helical Molecules
arXiv:2603.12307v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has emerged as a powerful technique for determining the three-dimensional structures of biological molecules at near-atomic resolution. However, reconstructing helical assemblies presents unique challenges due to their inherent symmetry and the need to determine unknown helical symmetry parameters. Traditional approaches require an accurate initial estimation of these […]
Self-Reported Side Effects of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide in Online Communities
arXiv:2603.12341v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Social media can reveal patient experiences with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) that extend beyond clinical trial data. We analyzed 410,198 Reddit posts (May 2019-June 2025) mentioning semaglutide or tirzepatide. A total of 67,008 users self-reported using these medications, and 43.5% described at least one side effect. Gastrointestinal symptoms […]
Context-Enriched Natural Language Descriptions of Vessel Trajectories
arXiv:2603.12287v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We address the problem of transforming raw vessel trajectory data collected from AIS into structured and semantically enriched representations interpretable by humans and directly usable by machine reasoning systems. We propose a context-aware trajectory abstraction framework that segments noisy AIS sequences into distinct trips each consisting of clean, mobility-annotated episodes. […]
Test-Time Strategies for More Efficient and Accurate Agentic RAG
arXiv:2603.12396v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems face challenges with complex, multihop questions, and agentic frameworks such as Search-R1 (Jin et al., 2025), which operates iteratively, have been proposed to address these complexities. However, such approaches can introduce inefficiencies, including repetitive retrieval of previously processed information and challenges in contextualizing retrieved results effectively […]
LatentChem: From Textual CoT to Latent Thinking in Chemical Reasoning
arXiv:2602.07075v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Chemical large language models (LLMs) predominantly rely on explicit Chain-of-Thought (CoT) in natural language to perform complex reasoning. However, chemical reasoning is inherently continuous and structural, and forcing it into discrete linguistic tokens introduces a fundamental representation mismatch that constrains both efficiency and performance. We introduce LatentChem, a latent reasoning […]
Artificial intelligence applications in Parkinson’s disease via retinal imaging
arXiv:2603.12281v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is projected to increase substantially due to population aging, making early diagnosis increasingly important, as timely detection may delay progression and reduce long-term complications. Retinal microvasculature has emerged as a promising anatomical biomarker of neurodegeneration, and when combined with artificial intelligence AI, retinal imaging may provide an […]
DART: Input-Difficulty-AwaRe Adaptive Threshold for Early-Exit DNNs
arXiv:2603.12269v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Early-exit deep neural networks enable adaptive inference by terminating computation when sufficient confidence is achieved, reducing cost for edge AI accelerators in resource-constrained settings. Existing methods, however, rely on suboptimal exit policies, ignore input difficulty, and optimize thresholds independently. This paper introduces DART (Input-Difficulty-Aware Adaptive Threshold), a framework that overcomes […]
Social Distancing Equilibria in Games under Conventional SI Dynamics
arXiv:2603.12107v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The mathematical characterization of social-distancing games in classical epidemic theory remains an important question, for their applications to both infectious-disease theory and memetic theory. We consider a special case of the dynamic finite-duration SI social-distancing game where payoffs are accounted using Markov decision theory with zero-discounting, while distancing is constrained […]
Diagnosing Retrieval Bias Under Multiple In-Context Knowledge Updates in Large Language Models
arXiv:2603.12271v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLMs are widely used in knowledge-intensive tasks where the same fact may be revised multiple times within context. Unlike prior work focusing on one-shot updates or single conflicts, multi-update scenarios contain multiple historically valid versions that compete at retrieval, yet remain underexplored. This challenge resembles the AB-AC interference paradigm in […]
Formation of Artificial Neural Assemblies by Biologically Plausible Inhibition Mechanisms
arXiv:2603.12416v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As proposed by Hebb’s theory, neural assemblies are groups of excitatory neurons that fire synchronously and exhibit high synaptic density, representing external stimuli and supporting cognitive functions such as language and decision-making. Recently, a model called Assembly Calculus (AC) was proposed, enabling the formation of artificial neural assemblies through the […]
