arXiv:2603.15654v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In classification tasks, the long-tailed minority classes usually offer the predictions that are most important. Yet these classes consistently exhibit low accuracies, whereas a few high-performing classes dominate the game. We pursue a foundational understanding of the hidden role of Gini Index as a tool for detecting and optimizing (debiasing) disparities in class accuracy, focusing on the case of prompt-based classification. We introduce the intuitions, benchmark Gini scores in real-world LLMs and vision […]

Generative models for 3D molecular conformations must respect Euclidean symmetries and concentrate probability mass on thermodynamically favorable, mechanically stable structures. However, E(3)-equivariant diffusion models often reproduce biases from semi-empirical training data rather than capturing the equilibrium distribution of a high-fidelity Hamiltonian. While physics-based guidance can correct this, it faces two computational bottlenecks: expensive quantum-chemical evaluations (e.g., DFT) and the need to repeat such queries at every sampling step. We present Elign, a post-training framework that amortizes both costs. […]

arXiv:2603.28942v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The pervasive deployment of deep learning models across critical domains has concurrently intensified privacy concerns due to their inherent propensity for data memorization. While Membership Inference Attacks (MIAs) serve as the gold standard for auditing these privacy vulnerabilities, conventional MIA paradigms are increasingly constrained by the prohibitive computational costs of shadow model training and a precipitous performance degradation under low False Positive Rate constraints. To overcome these challenges, we introduce a novel perspective […]

Accurate detection and localization of traumatic injuries in abdominal CT scans remains a critical challenge in emergency radiology, primarily due to severe scarcity of annotated medical data. This paper presents a label-efficient approach combining self-supervised pre-training with semi-supervised detection for 3D medical image analysis. We employ patch-based Masked Image Modeling (MIM) to pre-train a 3D U-Net encoder on 1,206 CT volumes without annotations, learning robust anatomical representations. The pretrained encoder enables two downstream clinical tasks: 3D injury detection […]

Distributed intelligence in industrial networks increasingly integrates sensing, communication, and computation across heterogeneous and resource constrained devices. Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative model training in such environments, but its reliability is affected by inconsistent client behaviour, noisy sensing conditions, and the presence of faulty or adversarial updates. Trust based mechanisms are commonly used to mitigate these effects, yet most remain statistical and heuristic, relying on fixed parameters or simple adaptive rules that struggle to accommodate changing operating conditions.

arXiv:2601.09012v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present TranslateGemma, a suite of open machine translation models based on the Gemma 3 foundation models. To enhance the inherent multilingual capabilities of Gemma 3 for the translation task, we employ a two-stage fine-tuning process. First, supervised fine-tuning is performed using a rich mixture of high-quality large-scale synthetic parallel data generated via state-of-the-art models and human-translated parallel data. This is followed by a reinforcement learning phase, where we optimize translation quality using […]

Accurate estimation of spatial derivatives from discrete and noisy data is central to scientific machine learning and numerical solutions of PDEs. We extend kinetic-based regularization (KBR), a localized multidimensional kernel regression method with a single trainable parameter, to learn spatial derivatives with provable second-order accuracy in 1D. Two derivative-learning schemes are proposed: an explicit scheme based on the closed-form prediction expressions, and an implicit scheme that solves a perturbed linear system at the points of interest. The fully […]

arXiv:2601.08878v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-based online counselling scales across geographical and stigma barriers, yet faces practitioner shortages, lacks non-verbal cues and suffers inconsistent quality assurance. Whilst artificial intelligence offers promising solutions, its use in mental health counselling raises distinct ethical challenges. This paper analyses three AI implementation approaches – autonomous counsellor bots, AI training simulators and counsellor-facing augmentation tools. Drawing on professional codes, regulatory frameworks and scholarly literature, we identify four ethical principles – privacy, fairness, autonomy […]

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) frequently exhibits discordance between structural damage observed in imaging and patient-reported symptoms such as pain. This mismatch complicates clinical interpretation and patient stratification and remains insufficiently modeled in existing decision-support systems. Methods: We propose a discordance-aware multimodal framework that combines machine learning prediction models with a tool-grounded multi-agent reasoning system. Using baseline data from the FNIH Osteoarthritis Biomarkers Consortium (600 knees), we trained multimodal models to predict two progression tasks: (i) joint-space-loss-only progression versus […]
