arXiv:2605.24294v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Android malware detectors often degrade after deployment because of concept drift, while full retraining at each maintenance step is costly. We propose a chronological adaptive maintenance framework that models deployment-time maintenance as a sequential decision problem. The framework learns a stable latent representation through self-supervised learning during initialization, freezes the […]
Momentum Streams for Optimizer-Inspired Transformers
arXiv:2605.24425v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The residual update of a pre-norm Transformer layer admits an interpretation as one step of a first-order optimizer acting on a surrogate token energy, wherein the attention and MLP sublayers function as gradient oracles. Based on this observation, we build a family of optimizer-inspired Transformers (triple-momentum, Adam/AdamW, Muon, SOAP) and […]
CyBOKClaw: Human-in-the-Loop CyBOK Mapping for Cybersecurity Curriculum
arXiv:2605.24663v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents CyBOKClaw, an interpretable human-in-the-loop retrieval framework for mapping cybersecurity keywords or phrases (KWoPs) to the Cyber Security Body of Knowledge (CyBOK). Rather than treating the task as strict exact classification, the framework is designed as a top-k candidate generator for expert review. It combines query normalization, curated […]
Explainable Retinal Imaging for Prediction of Multi-Organ Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetes
arXiv:2605.24912v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasingly recognised as a systemic disease characterised by coordinated dysfunction across metabolic, renal, lipid, and inflammatory pathways. Existing clinical assessments often fail to capture this multi-dimensional burden. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 1,195 patients using routinely collected laboratory biomarkers. System-level abnormality […]
Courant: a State-Adaptive Perceiver-Based Neural Surrogate with Local Support and Interpretable Field Decomposition
arXiv:2605.25115v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce “Courant”, a Perceiver-based encoder-processor-decoder surrogate model that has latent features exhibiting adaptive specialization and local support in the physical space, enabling functionality akin to an adaptive hp-refinement scheme, an attribute that is highly desirable in traditional numerical solvers and scientific machine learning broadly. The proposed architecture combines a […]
Neuromorphic LiDAR-based Bird’s Eye View Object Detection using Energy-efficient Spiking Neural Networks
arXiv:2605.25293v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous driving perception demands accurate and efficient processing of three-dimensional sensor data under strict power constraints. Traditional convolutional neural networks achieve strong detection accuracy but are computationally intensive, limiting their suitability for deployment on resource-constrained neuromorphic platforms. Spiking neural networks offer a compelling alternative through event-driven sparse computation, yet their […]
The Time is Here for Just-in-Time Systems: Challenges and Opportunities
arXiv:2605.24096v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Core systems like key-value stores have historically taken years to build, and are designed to be general so as to amortize cost across deployments, paying a significant performance cost. We argue that LLM-based coding agents now make a different approach tractable: Just-in-Time Systems, in which the entire system is synthesized […]
Towards Evaluation Engineering: An Empirical Study of ML Evaluation Harnesses in the Wild
arXiv:2605.24213v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Evaluation harnesses are software systems that orchestrate model evaluation by managing model invocation, data loading, metric computation, and result reporting. Despite their critical role in machine learning infrastructure, their operational challenges and engineering concerns have received limited attention so far. We present an empirical study of 57 evaluation harnesses, deriving […]
Treatment Effect Estimation with Differentiated Networked Effect on Graph Data
arXiv:2605.24358v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Estimating individual treatment effect (ITE) from observational graph data is crucial for decision-making in the fields such as commerce and medicine. This task is challenging due to interference, where individual outcomes can be influenced by the treatments and covariates of their neighbors. Existing methods attempt to model such interference for […]
Adaptive Punishment for Cooperation in Mixed-Motive Games
arXiv:2605.24516v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixed-motive scenarios are ubiquitous in real-world multi-agent interactions, where self-interested agents often defect for immediate rewards, overlooking the potential of altruistic cooperation to improve long-term gains and collective welfare. Peer punishment can deter defection, but as costly second-order altruism, its persistent imposition may undermine the punisher’s interests. Existing approaches often […]
Guarded Repair for Harm-Aware Post-hoc Replacement of LLM Mathematical Reasoning
arXiv:2605.24613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-hoc repair of LLM mathematical reasoning introduces an asymmetric risk: fixing an incorrect reasoning trace is useful, but replacing a trace that was already correct can be harmful. We study this problem under a selective replacement setting, where a system must decide whether a repaired candidate is safer than preserving […]
World-State Transformations for Neuro-symbolic Interactive Storytelling
arXiv:2605.24719v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have changed the possibilities of Interactive Storytelling systems that process free-text user input. However, as more of these systems are built, evidence continues to mount regarding the story coherence problems that arise when relying solely on them. Recent research suggests that LLMs can effectively predict state […]
