Collaborative filtering (CF) recommendation has been significantly advanced by integrating Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Graph Contrastive Learning (GCL). However, (i) random edge perturbations often distort critical structural signals and degrade semantic consistency across augmented views, and (ii) data sparsity hampers the propagation of collaborative signals, limiting generalization. To tackle these challenges, we propose RaDAR (Relation-aware Diffusion-Asymmetric Graph Contrastive Learning Framework for Recommendation Systems), a novel framework that combines two complementary view generation mechanisms: a graph generative model […]

Generalizing across disparate physical laws remains a fundamental challenge for artificial intelligence in science. Existing deep-learning solvers are largely confined to single-equation settings, limiting transfer across physical regimes and inference tasks. Here we introduce pADAM, a unified generative framework that learns a shared probabilistic prior across heterogeneous partial differential equation families. Through a learned joint distribution of system states and, where applicable, physical parameters, pADAM supports forward prediction and inverse inference within a single architecture without retraining. Across […]

Machine learning models for geotechnical hazard prediction can achieve high accuracy while learning physically inconsistent relationships from sparse or biased training data. Current remedies (post-hoc explainability, such as SHAP and LIME, and training-time constraints) either diagnose individual predictions approximately or restrict model capacity without providing exhaustive guarantees. This paper encodes trained tree ensembles as logical formulas in a Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solver and checks physical specifications across the entire input domain, not just sampled points. Four geotechnical […]

If you do not understand the ticket, if you do not understand the solution, or if you do not understand the feedback on your PR, then your use of LLM is hurting Django as a whole. […] For a reviewer, it’s demoralizing to communicate with a facade of a human. This is because contributing to open source, especially Django, is a communal endeavor. Removing your humanity from that experience makes that endeavor more difficult. If you use an […]

Benchmarking the performance of complex systems such as rail networks, renewable generation assets and national economies is central to transport planning, regulation and macroeconomic analysis. Classical frontier methods, notably Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA), estimate an efficient frontier in the observed input-output space and define efficiency as distance to this frontier, but rely on restrictive assumptions on the production set and only indirectly address heterogeneity and scale effects. We propose Geometric Manifold Analysis (GeMA), […]

Background: This study aims to develop and validate federated learning models for predicting major postoperative complications and mortality using a large multicenter dataset from the OneFlorida Data Trust. We hypothesize that federated learning models will offer robust generalizability while preserving data privacy and security. Methods: This retrospective, longitudinal, multicenter cohort study included 358,644 adult patients admitted to five healthcare institutions, who underwent 494,163 inpatient major surgical procedures from 2012-2023. We developed and internally and externally validated federated learning […]

Trajectory inference investigates how to interpolate paths between observed timepoints of dynamical systems, such as temporally resolved population distributions, with the goal of inferring trajectories at unseen times and better understanding system dynamics. Previous work has focused on continuous geometric priors, utilizing data-dependent spatial features to define a Riemannian metric. In many applications, there exists discrete, directed prior knowledge over admissible transitions (e.g. lineage trees in developmental biology). We introduce a Finsler metric that combines geometry with classification […]
