Robult: Leveraging Redundancy and Modality Specific Features for Robust Multimodal Learning
Addressing missing modalities and limited labeled data is crucial for advancing robust multimodal learning. We propose Robult, a scalable framework designed to mitigate these challenges by preserving modality-specific information and leveraging redundancy through a novel information-theoretic approach. Robult optimizes two core objectives: (1) a soft Positive-Unlabeled (PU) contrastive loss that maximizes task-relevant feature alignment while effectively utilizing limited labeled data in semi-s…

PREE: Towards Harmless and Adaptive Fingerprint Editing in Large Language Models via Knowledge Prefix Enhancement
Addressing the intellectual property protection challenges in commercial deployment of large language models (LLMs), existing black-box fingerprinting techniques face dual challenges from incremental fine-tuning erasure and feature-space defense due to their reliance on overfitting high-perplexity trigger patterns. Recent work has revealed that model editing in the fingerprinting domain offers distinct advantages, including significantly lower false positive rates, enhanced harmlessness, and su…

I have extended thoughts on a few nuances of burnout, resilience, and employment
Before taking time off for burnout, my skip manager reminded me to read the strongly positive 360 feedback from my reports. That's both a shallow and a deep reinforcement of resilience, first and foremost by rebuilding and grounding self-confidence. Reading positive feedback provides evidence that I'm capable and effective at my job.
Beyond self-confidence, I have other needs in a workplace, …

Positive Definiteness and Stability of Interval Tensors
In this paper, we focus on the positive definiteness and Hurwitz stability of interval tensors. First, we introduce auxiliary tensors $\mathcal{A}^z$ and establish equivalent conditions for the positive (semi-)definiteness of interval tensors. That is, an interval tensor is positive definite if and only if all $\mathcal{A}^z$ are positive (semi-)definite. For Hurwitz stability, it is revealed that the stability of the symmetric interval tensor $\mathcal{A}_s^I$ can deduce the stability of the i…

Predicting MacroB12: Data-Driven Assessment of Pre-PEG B12 Utility and Clinical Caveats
MacroB12 interference presents a significant challenge in the diagnosis of Vitamin B12 status, potentially masking true deficiency. To establish robust predictors and quantify the utility of pre-polyethylene glycol (PEG) B12 levels, we conducted a retrospective analysis of 875 individuals with hypercobalaminaemia (greater than 1000 pg/mL), using multiple imputation to handle missing data. Multivariable regression modelling revealed that MacroB12 positivity (less than 30% PEG recovery) was indep…

Just Dork and Crawl: Measuring Illegal Online Gambling Defacement in Indonesian Websites
This study investigates the defacement of Indonesian websites by actors promoting illegal online gambling. Using a lightweight methodology that combines keyword-driven dorking with systematic crawling, we identified 453 defaced webpages within one month. Although dorking alone yielded a false positive rate of approximately 20.3\%, the integration of crawling and keyword-counting enabled reliable differentiation between true and false positives. Our measurements revealed diverse defacement behav…

Quantitative Damping Calculation and Compensation Method for Global Stability Improvement of Inverter-Based Systems
Small-signal stability issues-induced broadband oscillations pose significant threats to the secure operation of multi-inverter systems, attracting extensive research attention. Researches revealed that system instability is led by the lacking of positive damping, yet it has not been clearly specified how much the exact amount of damping compensation required to sufficiently ensure system global stability. This paper presents a feasible solution for quantitative damping calculation and compensa…

Observation of Tensor-Driven High-Momentum Neutrons in 16O via (p,d) Reactions and Zero-Degree Deuteron Momentum Spectroscopy
The $^{16}\mathrm{O}(p,d)^{15}\mathrm{O}$ reaction has been studied at $0^{\circ}$ using 403-, 604-, 907- and 1209-MeV protons, comparing cross sections populating positive- and negative-parity states in $^{15}\mathrm{O}$. Transitions to positive-parity states exhibit strong sensitivity to high-momentum neutrons, while negative-parity transitions show much smaller effects. The cross-section ratio between positive- and negative-parity states rises sharply with momentum transfer, matching theoret…
