Abstract: The human brain achieves its remarkable computational prowess not despite its inherent non-ideal factors noise, heterogeneity, structural irregularities, decentralized plasticity, systematic errors, and chaotic dynamics but precisely because of them. This paper systematically demonstrates that these traits, long dismissed as imperfections in classical neuroscience and eliminated in digital engineering, are evolutionary design principles that endow the brain with robustness, adaptability, and creativity.
Depression subtype classification from social media posts: few-shot prompting vs. fine-tuning of large language models
BackgroundSocial media provides timely proxy signals of mental health, but reliable tweet-level classification of depression subtypes remains challenging due to short, noisy text, overlapping symptomatology,
