arXiv:2602.15138v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The study of histopathological subtypes is valuable for the personalisation of effective treatment strategies for ovarian cancer. However, increasing diagnostic workloads present a challenge for UK pathology departments, leading to the rise in AI approaches. While traditional approaches in this field have relied on pre-computed, frozen image features, recent advances have shifted towards end-to-end feature extraction, providing an improvement in accuracy but at the expense of significantly reduced scalability during training and time-consuming […]

arXiv:2602.15135v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Passkeys — discoverable WebAuthn credentials synchronised across devices are widely promoted as the future of passwordless authentication. Built on the FIDO2 standard, they eliminate shared secrets and resist phishing while offering usability through platform credential managers. Since their introduction in 2022, major vendors have integrated passkeys into operating systems and browsers, and prominent websites have announced support. Yet the true extent of adoption across the broader web remains unknown. Measuring this is challenging […]

arXiv:2602.15128v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural ordinary differential equations (NODEs) are geometric deep learning models based on dynamical systems and flows generated by vector fields on manifolds. Despite numerous successful applications, particularly within the flow matching paradigm, all existing NODE models are fundamentally constrained to fixed-dimensional dynamics by the intrinsic nature of the manifold’s dimension. In this paper, we extend NODEs to M-polyfolds (spaces that can simultaneously accommodate varying dimensions and a notion of differentiability) and introduce PolyNODEs, […]

arXiv:2602.15124v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Zero-shot Human-object interaction (HOI) detection aims to locate humans and objects in images and recognize their interactions. While advances in open-vocabulary object detection provide promising solutions for object localization, interaction recognition (IR) remains challenging due to the combinatorial diversity of interactions. Existing methods, including two-stage methods, tightly couple IR with a specific detector and rely on coarse-grained vision-language model (VLM) features, which limit generalization to unseen interactions. In this work, we propose a […]

arXiv:2602.15112v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce ResearchGym, a benchmark and execution environment for evaluating AI agents on end-to-end research. To instantiate this, we repurpose five oral and spotlight papers from ICML, ICLR, and ACL. From each paper’s repository, we preserve the datasets, evaluation harness, and baseline implementations but withhold the paper’s proposed method. This results in five containerized task environments comprising 39 sub-tasks in total. Within each environment, agents must propose novel hypotheses, run experiments, and attempt […]

arXiv:2602.15092v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Supernumerary robotic limbs (SLs) have the potential to transform a wide range of human activities, yet their usability remains limited by key technical challenges, particularly in ensuring safety and achieving versatile control. Here, we address the critical problem of maintaining balance in the human-SLs system, a prerequisite for safe and comfortable augmentation tasks. Unlike previous approaches that developed SLs specifically for stability support, we propose a general framework for preserving balance with SLs […]

arXiv:2602.15090v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI prototypes are being deployed across domains with increasing speed, yet no methodology for their structured design, governance, and prospective evaluation has been established. Existing AI documentation practices and guidelines – Model Cards, Datasheets, or NIST AI RMF – are either retrospective or lack machine-readability and interoperability. We present the Agentic Automation Canvas (AAC), a structured framework for the prospective design of agentic systems and a tool to facilitate communication between their […]

arXiv:2602.15086v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The numerical values extracted from a graph that indicates its topology are called topological indices. A contemporary and efficient method is to compute a graph’s topological indices using the graph polynomial that corresponds to it. This method of identifying degree-based topological indices involves the use of the M-polynomial. Very recently, in 2025, the hyperbolic Sombor index (HSO) was proposed and shows its chemical applicability for octane isomers and the structure sensitivity and abruptness […]

arXiv:2602.15082v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural audio compression models have recently achieved extreme compression rates, enabling efficient latent generative modeling. Conversely, latent generative models have been applied to compression, pushing the limits of continuous and discrete approaches. However, existing methods remain constrained to low-resolution audio and degrade substantially at very low bitrates, where audible artifacts are prominent. In this paper, we present S-PRESSO, a 48kHz sound effect compression model that produces both continuous and discrete embeddings at ultra-low […]

arXiv:2602.15078v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Following in the footsteps of the success of Mathlib – the centralised library of formalised mathematics in Lean – CSLib is a rapidly-growing centralised library of formalised computer science and software. In this paper, we present its founding technical principles, operation, abstractions, and semantic framework. We contribute reusable semantic interfaces (reduction and labelled transition systems), proof automation, CI/testing support for maintaining automation and compatibility with Mathlib, and the first substantial developments of languages […]
