arXiv:2502.08547v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The widespread adoption of electronic health records has created new opportunities for translational clinical research, yet this promise remains constrained by fragmented data across privacy-siloed institutions and substantial heterogeneity in local coding practices. While privacy-preserving collaborative learning allows institutions to work together without sharing patient-level data, it does not address […]
Challenges in Deep Learning-Based Small Organ Segmentation: A Benchmarking Perspective for Medical Research with Limited Datasets
arXiv:2509.05892v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate segmentation of carotid artery structures in histopathological images is vital for cardiovascular disease research. This study systematically evaluates ten deep learning segmentation models including classical architectures, modern CNNs, a Vision Transformer, and foundation models, on a limited dataset of nine cardiovascular histology images. We conducted ablation studies on data […]
Hume’s Representational Conditions for Causal Judgment: What Bayesian Formalization Abstracted Away
arXiv:2604.03387v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hume’s account of causal judgment presupposes three representational conditions: experiential grounding (ideas must trace to impressions), structured retrieval (association must operate through organized networks exceeding pairwise connection), and vivacity transfer (inference must produce felt conviction, not merely updated probability). This paper extracts these conditions from Hume’s texts and argues that […]
A Model Can Help Itself: Reward-Free Self-Training for LLM Reasoning
arXiv:2510.18814v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Can language models improve their reasoning performance without external rewards, using only their own sampled responses for training? We show that they can. We propose Self-evolving Post-Training (SePT), a simple post-training method that alternates between self-generation and training on self-generated responses. It repeatedly samples questions, uses the model itself to […]
MAVEN: A Mesh-Aware Volumetric Encoding Network for Simulating 3D Flexible Deformation
arXiv:2604.04474v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning-based approaches, particularly graph neural networks (GNNs), have gained prominence in simulating flexible deformations and contacts of solids, due to their ability to handle unstructured physical fields and nonlinear regression on graph structures. However, existing GNNs commonly represent meshes with graphs built solely from vertices and edges. These approaches […]
Path Integral Solution for Dissipative Generative Dynamics
arXiv:2601.00860v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Can purely mechanical systems generate intelligent language? We prove that dissipative quantum dynamics with analytically tractable non-local context aggregation produce coherent text generation, while conservation laws cause fundamental failure. Employing Koopman operators with closed-form path integral propagators, we show irreversible computation fundamentally requires both controlled information dissipation and causal context […]
Learning Dexterous Grasping from Sparse Taxonomy Guidance
arXiv:2604.04138v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dexterous manipulation requires planning a grasp configuration suited to the object and task, which is then executed through coordinated multi-finger control. However, specifying grasp plans with dense pose or contact targets for every object and task is impractical. Meanwhile, end-to-end reinforcement learning from task rewards alone lacks controllability, making it […]
Enhancing behavioral nudges with large language model-based iterative personalization: A field experiment on electricity and hot-water conservation
arXiv:2604.03881v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Nudging is widely used to promote behavioral change, but its effectiveness is often limited when recipients must repeatedly translate feedback into workable next steps under changing circumstances. Large language models (LLMs) may help reduce part of this cognitive work by generating personalized guidance and updating it iteratively across intervention rounds. […]
Gram-Anchored Prompt Learning for Vision-Language Models via Second-Order Statistics
arXiv:2604.03980v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameter-efficient prompt learning has become the de facto standard for adapting Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to downstream tasks. Existing approaches predominantly focus on aligning text prompts with first-order visual features (i.e., spatial feature maps). While effective for fine-grained semantic discrimination, we argue that relying solely on first-order information is insufficient for […]
Unveiling Language Routing Isolation in Multilingual MoE Models for Interpretable Subnetwork Adaptation
arXiv:2604.03592v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models exhibit striking performance disparities across languages, yet the internal mechanisms driving these gaps remain poorly understood. In this work, we conduct a systematic analysis of expert routing patterns in MoE models, revealing a phenomenon we term Language Routing Isolation, in which high- and low-resource languages tend to […]
15 Years of Augmented Human(s) Research: Where Do We Stand?
arXiv:2604.03715v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Augmented Human vision broadly seeks to improve or expand baseline human functioning through the restoration or extension of physical, intellectual, and social capabilities. However, given the rapid pace of technology development, we ask: what exactly does Augmented Human research involve, what are its core themes, and how has the […]
Towards Intelligent Energy Security: A Unified Spatio-Temporal and Graph Learning Framework for Scalable Electricity Theft Detection in Smart Grids

This study introduces the SmartGuard Energy Intelligence System (SGEIS), an integrated artificial intelligence framework for electricity theft detection and intelligent energy monitoring. The proposed system combines supervised machine learning, […]
