arXiv:2603.03339v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid global expansion of large language models (LLMs) has created new opportunities for personalised and inquiry-driven learning. However, most AI chatbot systems for education rely on continuous internet connectivity, cloud infrastructure, and modern hardware. These requirements reinforce digital inequalities and limit the practical deployment of AI-supported learning in bandwidth-constrained and resource-limited environments worldwide. This paper presents Arapai, an offline-first AI chatbot architecture designed to operate entirely without internet connectivity on low-specification, CPU-only […]

The transition to serverless architecture is not a buzzword to developers and software developers involved in developer work in macOS. It is a true revolution in the way apps are built, implemented, and scaled. Gone are the days of staring at terminal windows full of endless server logs and sleepless nights in order to keep the infrastructure from hiccuping. Serverless sets that mess with the work of someone. If you have been developing on macOS, then it is […]

arXiv:2601.10754v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI chatbots designed as emotional companions blur the boundaries between interpersonal intimacy and institutional software, creating a complex, multi-dimensional privacy environment. Drawing on Communication Privacy Management theory and Masur’s horizontal (user-AI) and vertical (user-platform) privacy framework, we conducted in-depth interviews with fifteen users of companion AI platforms such as Replika and Character.AI. Our findings reveal that users blend interpersonal habits with institutional awareness: while the non-judgmental, always-available nature of chatbots fosters emotional safety […]

arXiv:2601.03322v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces facilitate direct communication with a computer, enabling promising applications in human-computer interactions. However, their utility is currently limited because EEG decoding often suffers from poor generalization due to distribution shifts across domains (e.g., subjects). Learning robust representations that capture underlying task-relevant information would mitigate these shifts and improve generalization. One promising approach is to exploit the underlying hierarchical structure in EEG, as recent studies suggest that hierarchical cognitive processes, […]

arXiv:2602.21365v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Purpose: Curating large-scale datasets of operating room (OR) workflow, encompassing rare, safety-critical, or atypical events, remains operationally and ethically challenging. This data bottleneck complicates the development of ambient intelligence for detecting, understanding, and mitigating rare or safety-critical events in the OR. Methods: This work presents an OR video diffusion framework that enables controlled synthesis of rare and safety-critical events. The framework integrates a geometric abstraction module, a conditioning module, and a fine-tuned diffusion […]

arXiv:2604.16929v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The accurate extraction of scientific measurements from literature is a critical yet challenging task in AI4Science, enabling large-scale analysis and integration of quantitative research findings. However, Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently exhibit severe hallucinations, which significantly undermine the reliability of automated scientific document understanding systems. To address this problem, we propose MeasHalu, a novel framework for mitigating scientific measurement hallucinations through enhanced reasoning and targeted optimization. We first present a fine-grained taxonomy of […]

arXiv:2602.15229v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We address prediction problems on tabular categorical data, where each instance is defined by multiple categorical attributes, each taking values from a finite set. These attributes are often referred to as fields, and their categorical values as features. Such problems frequently arise in practical applications, including click-through rate prediction and social sciences. We introduce and analyze {tensorFM}, a new model that efficiently captures high-order interactions between attributes via a low-rank tensor approximation representing […]

arXiv:2601.06429v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models pre-trained on large-scale source datasets are reshaping the traditional training paradigm for time series classification. However, existing time series foundation models primarily focus on forecasting tasks and often overlook classification-specific challenges, such as modeling interpretable shapelets that capture class-discriminative temporal features. To bridge this gap, we propose UniShape, a unified shape-aware foundation model designed for time series classification. UniShape incorporates a shape-aware adapter that adaptively aggregates multiscale discriminative subsequences (shapes) into […]

Introduction Disclaimer: This article is a cross post from Pytorch Medium Blog Post. One of the most exciting advancements, that has pushed the frontier of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years, is Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). DRL belongs to the family of machine learning algorithms. It assumes that intelligent machines can learn from their actions similar to the way humans learn from experience. Over the recent years we could witness some impressive real-world applications of DRL. The […]
