Early prediction of severe clinical deterioration and remaining length of stay can enable timely intervention and better resource allocation in high-acuity settings such as the ICU. This has driven the development of machine learning models that leverage continuous streams of vital signs and other physiological signals for real-time risk prediction. Despite their promise, existing methods have important limitations. Contrastive pretraining treats all patients as equally strong negatives, failing to capture clinically meaningful similarity between patients with related diagnoses. […]

A central question in computational neuroscience is whether the learning rule used to train a neural network determines how well its internal representations align with those of the human visual cortex. We present a systematic comparison of four learning rules — backpropagation (BP), feedback alignment (FA), predictive coding (PC), and spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) — applied to identical convolutional architectures and evaluated against human fMRI data from the THINGS-fMRI dataset (720 stimuli, 3 subjects) using Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA).

Neuro-symbolic Reinforcement Learning (NeSy-RL) combines symbolic reasoning with gradient-based optimization to achieve interpretable and generalizable policies. Relational concepts, such as "left of" or "close by", serve as foundational building blocks that structure how agents perceive and act. However, conventional approaches require human experts to manually define these concepts, limiting adaptability since concept semantics vary across environments. We propose GRAIL (Grounding Relational Agents through Interactive Learning), a framework that autonomously grounds relational concepts through environmental interaction. GRAIL leverages large […]

Recent deployments of large language models (LLMs) as autonomous trading agents raise questions about whether financial decision-making competence generalizes beyond specific market patterns and how it should be trained and evaluated in noisy markets lacking ground truth. We propose a structured framework for training and evaluating such models. Central to our approach is a curated, multiple-choice question (MCQ) dataset derived from classic textbooks and historical markets, verified by an AI committee, enriched with structured reasoning traces, and augmented […]

This thesis develops numerical and theoretical approaches for understanding and analyzing singularity formation in Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). The singularity formation in the Navier-Stokes Equation (NSE) is famously challenging as one of the seven Clay Prize problems. Unlike simpler equations such as the Nonlinear Heat (NLH) or Keller-Segel (KS) equations, where formal asymptotics near blowup are better understood, the intrinsic complexity of NSE makes quantitative analytical treatment difficult, if not impossible, without numerical guidance. Building on numerical insights, […]

arXiv:2604.14363v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal language models systematically underperform on visual perception tasks, yet the structure underlying this failure remains poorly understood. We propose centroid replacement, collapsing each token to its nearest K-means centroid, as a controlled probe for modal dependence. Across seven models spanning three architecture families, erasing text centroid structure costs 4$times$ more accuracy than erasing visual centroid structure, exposing a universal imbalance where language representations overshadow vision even on tasks that demand visual reasoning.

arXiv:2604.14362v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models still struggle with reliable long-term conversational memory: simply enlarging context windows or applying naive retrieval often introduces noise and destabilizes responses. We present APEX-MEM, a conversational memory system that combines three key innovations: (1) a property graph which uses domain-agnostic ontology to structure conversations as temporally grounded events in an entity-centric framework, (2) append-only storage that preserves the full temporal evolution of information, and (3) a multi-tool retrieval agent that […]

arXiv:2604.14360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Resilience in cyber-physical systems (CPS) is the fundamental ability to maintain safety and critical functionality despite adverse “perturbations,” which includes security attacks, environmental disruptions, and hardware or software failures. This survey provides a comprehensive review of CPS resilience, framing the field through five interconnected themes that are required in an integrated whole to achieve real-world resilience. The article first posits that resilience is a system-wide property emerging from interactions between hardware, software, and […]
