DeepEN: Personalized Enteral Nutrition for Critically Ill Patients using Deep Reinforcement Learning
We introduce DeepEN, a deep reinforcement learning (RL) framework for personalized enteral nutrition (EN) in critically ill patients. Trained offline on over 11,000 ICU patients from the MIMIC-IV database, DeepEN generates 4-hourly recommendations for caloric, protein, and fluid intake tailored to each patient's evolving physiology. The model integrates a curated, clinically informed state space with a custom reward function that balances short-term physiological and nutrition-related goals wit…

Deep Visual Odometry for Stereo Event Cameras
Event-based cameras are bio-inspired sensors with pixels that independently and asynchronously respond to brightness changes at microsecond resolution, offering the potential to handle state estimation tasks involving motion blur and high dynamic range (HDR) illumination conditions. However, the versatility of event-based visual odometry (VO) relying on handcrafted data association (either direct or indirect methods) is still unreliable, especially in field robot applications under low-light HD…

Semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering off a tensor-polarized spin-1 target
We investigate the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering off a tensor-polarized spin-1 target, focusing on the production of an unpolarized hadron. The complete differential cross section is expressed in terms of 23 structure functions, which depend on the spin states of the target and the azimuthal modulations of the final-state hadron. Within the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization framework, we derive the hadronic tensor using quark-quark correlators and quark-gluon-quark co…

Emergent Denoising of SDSS Galaxy Spectra Through Unsupervised Deep Learning
Spectroscopy represents the ideal observational method to maximally extract information from galaxies regarding their star formation and chemical enrichment histories. However, absorption spectra of galaxies prove rather challenging at high redshift or in low mass galaxies, due to the need to spread the photons into a relatively large set of spectral bins. For this reason, the data from many state-of-the-art spectroscopic surveys suffer from low signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios, and prevent accurat…

Quantum state transfer (QST) via homogeneous spin chains plays a crucial role in building scalable quantum hardware. A basic quantum state transmission protocol prepares a state in one qubit and transfers it to another through a channel, seeking to minimize the time and avoid information loss. The fidelity of the process is measured by functions proportional to the transition probability between both states. We approach this optimization problem using constant magnetic pulses and two complement…

An Efficient Deep Template Matching and In-Plane Pose Estimation Method via Template-Aware Dynamic Convolution
In industrial inspection and component alignment tasks, template matching requires efficient estimation of a target's position and geometric state (rotation and scaling) under complex backgrounds to support precise downstream operations. Traditional methods rely on exhaustive enumeration of angles and scales, leading to low efficiency under compound transformations. Meanwhile, most deep learning-based approaches only estimate similarity scores without explicitly modeling geometric pose, making …

Deep Learning Accelerated Algebraic Multigrid Methods for Polytopal Discretizations of Second-Order Differential Problems
Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) methods are state-of-the-art algebraic solvers for partial differential equations. Still, their efficiency depends heavily on the choice of suitable parameters and/or ingredients. Paradigmatic examples include the so-called strong threshold parameter $θ$, which controls the algebraic coarse-grid hierarchy, as well as the smoother, i.e., the relaxation methods used on the fine grid to damp out high-frequency errors. In AMG, since the coarse grids are constructed algebr…

FuXi-TC: A generative framework integrating deep learning and physics-based models for improved tropical cyclone forecasts
Tropical cyclones (TCs) are among the most devastating natural hazards, yet their intensity remains notoriously difficult to predict. Numerical weather prediction (NWP) models are constrained by both computational demands and intrinsic predictability, while state-of-the-art deep learning-based weather forecasting models tend to underestimate TC intensity due to biases in reanalysis-based training data. Here, we present FuXi-TC, a diffusion-based generative forecasting framework that combines th…

A Deep Learning Framework for Joint Channel Acquisition and Communication Optimization in Movable Antenna Systems
This paper presents an end-to-end deep learning framework in a movable antenna (MA)-enabled multiuser communication system. In contrast to the conventional works assuming perfect channel state information (CSI), we address the practical CSI acquisition issue through the design of pilot signals and quantized CSI feedback, and further incorporate the joint optimization of channel estimation, MA placement, and precoding design.

Vejde: A Framework for Inductive Deep Reinforcement Learning Based on Factor Graph Color Refinement
We present and evaluate Vejde; a framework which combines data abstraction, graph neural networks and reinforcement learning to produce inductive policy functions for decision problems with richly structured states, such as object classes and relations. MDP states are represented as data bases of facts about entities, and Vejde converts each state to a bipartite graph, which is mapped to latent states through neural message passing. The factored representation of both states and actions allows …
