The growing adoption of electronic health record (EHR) systems has provided unprecedented opportunities for predictive modeling to guide clinical decision making. Structured EHRs contain longitudinal observations of patients across hospital visits, where each visit is represented by a set of medical codes. While sequence-based, graph-based, and graph-enhanced sequence approaches have been developed to capture rich code interactions over time or within the same visits, they often overlook the inherent heterogeneous roles of medical codes arising from distinct clinical […]

We develop a two-stage retrieval system that combines multiple complementary retrieval methods with a learned reranker and LLM-based reranking, to address the TREC Tip-of-the-Tongue (ToT) task. In the first stage, we employ hybrid retrieval that merges LLM-based retrieval, sparse (BM25), and dense (BGE-M3) retrieval methods. We also introduce topic-aware multi-index dense retrieval that partitions the Wikipedia corpus into 24 topical domains. In the second stage, we evaluate both a trained LambdaMART reranker and LLM-based reranking. To support model […]

In predictive maintenance of equipment, deep learning-based time series anomaly detection has garnered significant attention; however, pure deep learning approaches often fail to achieve sufficient accuracy on real-world data. This study proposes a hybrid approach that integrates 64-dimensional time series embeddings from Granite TinyTimeMixer with 28-dimensional statistical features based on domain knowledge for HVAC equipment anomaly prediction tasks. Specifically, we combine time series embeddings extracted from a Granite TinyTimeMixer encoder fine-tuned with LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) and 28 types […]

arXiv:2601.22198v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An optimal solution to the localization problem is essential for developing autonomous robotic systems. Apart from autonomous vehicles, precision agriculture is one of the elds that can bene t most from these systems. Although LiDAR place recognition is a widely used technique in recent years to achieve accurate localization, it is mostly used in urban settings. However, the lack of distinctive features and the unstructured nature of agricultural environments make place recognition challenging. […]

arXiv:2603.02273v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prioritizing disease-associated genes is central to understanding the molecular mechanisms of complex disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Traditional network-based approaches rely on static centrality measures and often fail to capture cross-modal biological heterogeneity. We propose NETRA (Node Evaluation through Transformer-based Representation and Attention), a multimodal graph transformer framework that replaces heuristic centrality metrics with attention-driven relevance scoring. Using AD as a case study, gene regulatory networks are independently constructed from microarray, single-cell […]

arXiv:2601.21102v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present the first empirical study of AI-generated pull requests that are ‘silent,’ meaning no comments or discussions accompany them. This absence of any comments or discussions associated with such silent AI pull requests (SPRs) poses a unique challenge in understanding the rationale for their acceptance or rejection. Hence, we quantitatively study 4,762 SPRs of five AI agents made to popular Python repositories drawn from the AIDev public dataset. We examine SPRs impact […]

arXiv:2602.21386v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Logic locking as a solution for semiconductor intellectual property (IP) confidentiality has received considerable attention in academia, but has yet to produce a viable solution to protect against known threats. In part due to a lack of rigor, logic locking defenses have been historically short-lived, which is an unacceptable risk for hardware-based security solutions for critical systems that may be fielded for decades. Researchers have worked to map the concept of cryptographic indistinguishability […]

arXiv:2504.11279v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The analysis of data from multiple experiments, such as observations of several individuals, is commonly approached using mixed-effects models, which account for variation between individuals through hierarchical representations. This makes mixed-effects models widely applied in fields such as biology, pharmacokinetics, and sociology. In this work, we propose a novel methodology for scalable Bayesian inference in hierarchical mixed-effects models. Our framework first constructs amortized approximations of the likelihood and the posterior distribution, which are […]
