Reproducibility in Event-Log Research: A Parametrised Generator and Benchmark for Event-based Signatures

Event-based datasets are crucial for cybersecurity analysis. A key use case is detecting event-based signatures, which represent attacks spanning multiple events and can only be understood once the relevant events are identified and linked. Analysing event datasets is essential for monitoring system security, but their growing volume...

Kd-tree Based Wasserstein Distance Approximation for High-Dimensional Data

The Wasserstein distance is a discrepancy measure between probability distributions, defined by an optimal transport problem. It has been used for various tasks such as retrieving similar items in high-dimensional images or text data. In retrieval applications, however, the Wasserstein distance is calculated repeatedly, and its cubic...

Bridging the Knowledge-Action Gap by Evaluating LLMs in Dynamic Dental Clinical Scenarios

The transition of Large Language Models (LLMs) from passive knowledge retrievers to autonomous clinical agents demands a shift in evaluation-from static accuracy to dynamic behavioral reliability. To explore this boundary in dentistry, a domain where high-quality AI advice uniquely empowers patient-participatory decision-making, we...

Pardon? Evaluating Conversational Repair in Large Audio-Language Models

Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) have demonstrated strong performance in spoken question answering (QA), with existing evaluations primarily focusing on answer accuracy and robustness to acoustic perturbations. However, such evaluations implicitly assume that spoken inputs remain semantically answerable, an assumption that often...

Sutradhara: An Intelligent Orchestrator-Engine Co-design for Tool-based Agentic Inference

Agentic applications are LLMs that iteratively invoke external tools to accomplish complex tasks. Such tool-based agents are rapidly becoming the dominant paradigm for deploying language models in production. Unlike traditional single-turn inference, agentic workloads chain together multiple LLM calls and tool executions before...

Deterministic Dynamics of Sampling Processes in Score-Based Diffusion Models with Multiplicative Noise Conditioning

Score-based diffusion models generate new samples by learning the score function associated with a diffusion process.

Cross-Scale Pretraining: Enhancing Self-Supervised Learning for Low-Resolution Satellite Imagery for Semantic Segmentation

Self-supervised pretraining in remote sensing is mostly done using mid-spatial resolution (MR) image datasets due to their high availability. Given the release of high-resolution (HR) datasets, we ask how HR datasets can be included in self-supervised pretraining to enhance MR image representation learning and downstream segmentation...

ACE-Align: Attribute Causal Effect Alignment for Cultural Values under Varying Persona Granularities

Ensuring that large language models (LLMs) respect diverse cultural values is crucial for social equity. However, existing approaches often treat cultural groups as homogeneous and overlook within-group heterogeneity induced by intersecting demographic attributes, leading to unstable behavior under varying persona granularity. We...

Supervised Learning for Game Music Segmentation

At present, neural network-based models, including transformers, struggle to generate memorable and readily comprehensible music from unified and repetitive musical material due to a lack of understanding of musical structure. Consequently, these models are rarely employed by the games industry. It is hypothesised by many scholars...

Trustworthy Data-driven Chronological Age Estimation from Panoramic Dental Images

Integrating deep learning into healthcare enables personalized care but raises trust issues due to model opacity. To improve transparency, we propose a system for dental age estimation from panoramic images that combines an opaque and a transparent method within a natural language generation (NLG) module. This module produces...

Codes Correcting Few Restricted Errors

We consider linear codes over a field in which the error values are restricted to a subgroup of its unit group. This scenario captures Lee distance codes as well as codes over the Gaussian or Eisenstein integers. Codes correcting restricted errors gained increased attention recently in the context of code-based cryptography. In this...

StyMam: A Mamba-Based Generator for Artistic Style Transfer

Image style transfer aims to integrate the visual patterns of a specific artistic style into a content image while preserving its content structure. Existing methods mainly rely on the generative adversarial network (GAN) or stable diffusion (SD). GAN-based approaches using CNNs or Transformers struggle to jointly capture local and...

Beyond Accuracy: Characterizing Code Comprehension Capabilities in (Large) Language Models

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into software engineering workflows, yet current benchmarks provide only coarse performance summaries that obscure the diverse capabilities and limitations of these models. This paper investigates whether LLMs' code-comprehension performance aligns with traditional human-centric...

GazeD: Context-Aware Diffusion for Accurate 3D Gaze Estimation

We introduce GazeD, a new 3D gaze estimation method that jointly provides 3D gaze and human pose from a single RGB image. Leveraging the ability of diffusion models to deal with uncertainty, it generates multiple plausible 3D gaze and pose hypotheses based on the 2D context information extracted from the input image. Specifically, we...

AI-generated data contamination erodes pathological variability and diagnostic reliability

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly populating medical records with synthetic content, creating a feedback loop where future models are increasingly at risk of training on uncurated AI-generated data. However, the clinical consequences of this AI-generated data contamination remain unexplored. Here, we show that in the...

A Component-Based Survey of Interactions between Large Language Models and Multi-Armed Bandits

Large language models (LLMs) have become powerful and widely used systems for language understanding and generation, while multi-armed bandit (MAB) algorithms provide a principled framework for adaptive decision-making under uncertainty. This survey explores the potential at the intersection of these two fields. As we know, it is the...

Concavity of Tsallis Entropy and Tsallis Entropy Power along Heat Flow

We study the evolution of Tsallis entropy along the heat flow and establish concavity results in arbitrary dimensions. Extending earlier one-dimensional results, we prove that Tsallis entropy is concave along the heat flow for $q\in(0,3]$ in dimension one and for $q\in[1,3]$ in higher dimensions. The upper endpoint $q=3$ is sharp in...

Dependently-Typed AARA: A Non-Affine Approach for Resource Analysis of Higher-Order Programs

Static resource analysis determines the resource consumption (e.g., time complexity) of a program without executing it. Among the numerous existing approaches for resource analysis, affine type systems have been one dominant approach. However, these affine type systems fall short of deriving precise resource behavior of higher-order...

The Post-Turing Condition: Conceptualising Artificial Subjectivity and Synthetic Sociality

In the Post-Turing era, artificial intelligence increasingly shapes social coordination and meaning formation rather than merely automating cognitive tasks. The central challenge is therefore not whether machines become conscious, but whether processes of interpretation and shared reference are progressively automated in ways that...

On the Evidentiary Limits of Membership Inference for Copyright Auditing

As large language models (LLMs) are trained on increasingly opaque corpora, membership inference attacks (MIAs) have been proposed to audit whether copyrighted texts were used during training, despite growing concerns about their reliability under realistic conditions. We ask whether MIAs can serve as admissible evidence in...

QASA: Quality-Guided K-Adaptive Slot Attention for Unsupervised Object-Centric Learning

Slot Attention, an approach that binds different objects in a scene to a set of "slots", has become a leading method in unsupervised object-centric learning. Most methods assume a fixed slot count K, and to better accommodate the dynamic nature of object cardinality, a few works have explored K-adaptive variants. However, existing...
