arXiv:2604.14227v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a key approach to mitigating the temporal staleness of large language models (LLMs) by grounding responses in up-to-date evidence. Within the RAG pipeline, re-rankers play a pivotal role in selecting the most useful documents from retrieved candidates. However, existing benchmarks predominantly evaluate re-rankers in static settings and do not adequately assess performance under evolving information — a critical gap, as real-world systems often must choose among temporally different pieces […]

Few-shot learning requires models to generalize under limited supervision while remaining robust to distribution shifts. Existing Sinkhorn Distributionally Robust Optimization (DRO) methods provide theoretical guarantees but rely on a fixed reference distribution, which limits their adaptability. We propose a Prototype-Guided Distributionally Robust Optimization (PG-DRO) framework that learns class-adaptive priors from abundant base data via hierarchical optimal transport and embeds them into the Sinkhorn DRO formulation. This design enables few-shot information to be organically integrated into producing class-specific robust […]

Based on recent practices in production environments using SeaTunnel CDC (Change Data Capture) to synchronize scenarios such as Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server, and combined with feedback from a wide range of users, I have written this article to help you understand the process by which SeaTunnel implements CDC. The content mainly covers the three stages of CDC: Snapshot, Backfill, and Incremental. The Three Stages of CDC The overall CDC data reading process can be broken down into […]

arXiv:2602.06048v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Satellite-terrestrial networks (STNs) have emerged as a promising architecture for providing seamless wireless coverage and connectivity for multiple users. However, potential malicious eavesdroppers pose a serious threat to the private information via STNs due to their non-cooperative behavior and ability to launch intelligent attacks. To address this challenge, we propose a cognitive secure communication framework driven by multiple agents that coordinates spectrum scheduling and protection through real-time sensing, thereby disrupting the judgment of […]

Survival analysis is essential for clinical decision-making, as it allows practitioners to estimate time-to-event outcomes, stratify patient risk profiles, and guide treatment planning. Deep learning has revolutionized this field with unprecedented predictive capabilities but faces a fundamental trade-off between performance and interpretability. While neural networks achieve high accuracy, their black-box nature limits clinical adoption. Conversely, deep clustering-based methods that stratify patients into interpretable risk groups typically sacrifice predictive power. We propose CONVERSE (CONtrastive Variational Ensemble for Risk Stratification […]

arXiv:2604.05042v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances at the intersection of control theory, neuroscience, and machine learning have revealed novel mechanisms by which dynamical systems perform computation. These advances encompass a wide range of conceptual, mathematical, and computational ideas, with applications for model learning and training, memory retrieval, data-driven control, and optimization. This tutorial focuses on neuro-inspired approaches to computation that aim to improve scalability, robustness, and energy efficiency across such tasks, bridging the gap between artificial and […]

The same substations. The same cooling corridors. The same industrial shell, built to turn cheap power into compute. But inside a growing number of large mining sites in 2026, the shift is clear: ASICs are coming out, and GPUs are going in. This is not a cyclical adjustment. It is a structural repricing of compute. For years, Bitcoin (BTC) mining was the obvious way to monetize access to cheap electricity, fast deployment, and high-density capacity. Now AI is […]
