A Systematic Review of Human-AI Co-Creativity
The co creativity community is making significant progress in developing more sophisticated and tailored systems to support and enhance human creativity. Design considerations from prior work can serve as a valuable and efficient foundation for future systems. To support this effort, we conducted a systematic literature review of 62 papers on co-creative systems. These papers cover a diverse range of applications, including visual arts, design, and writing, where the AI acts not just as a tool …

Review of Three Variants of the k-d Tree
The original description of the k-d tree recognized that rebalancing techniques, such as used to build an AVL tree or a red-black tree, are not applicable to a k-d tree. Hence, in order to build a balanced k-d tree, it is necessary to find the median of a set of data for each recursive subdivision of that set. The sort or selection used to find the median, and the technique used to partition the set about that median, strongly influence the computational complexity of building a k-d tree. This …

Signed Minkowski decompositions of convex polygons into minimum simplices and factorization of max-plus functions
Signed Minkowski decomposition is an expression of a polytope as a Minkowski sum and difference of smaller polytopes. Signed Minkowski decompositions of a polytope can be interpreted as factorizations of a max-plus (tropical) function. We review two relations about Minkowski decompositions, and we prove that any 2-dimensional integral polytopes (polygons) have a signed Minkowski decomposition which consists of integral points, integral line segments of length 1, and integral triangles of area 1…

We review recent developments in cosmological models based on Finsler geometry and extensions of general relativity within this framework. Finsler geometry generalizes Riemannian geometry by allowing the metric tensor to depend on position and an additional internal degree of freedom, typically represented by a vector field at each point of the spacetime manifold. We explore whether Finsler-type geometries can describe gravitational interaction and cosmological dynamics. In particular, we exami…

Domain Knowledge-Enhanced LLMs for Fraud and Concept Drift Detection

arXiv:2506.21443v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Detecting deceptive conversations on dynamic platforms is increasingly difficult due to evolving language patterns and Concept Drift (CD)\-i.e., semantic or topical shifts that alter the context or intent of interactions over time. These shifts can obscure malicious intent or mimic normal dialogue, making accurate classification challenging. While Large Language Models (LLMs) show strong performance in natural language tasks, they often struggle with contextual ambiguity and hallucinations in risk\-sensitive scenarios. To address these challenges, we present a Domain Knowledge (DK)\-Enhanced LLM framework that integrates pretrained LLMs with structured, task\-specific insights to perform fraud and concept drift detection. The proposed architecture consists of three main components: (1) a DK\-LLM module to detect fake or deceptive conversations; (2) a drift detection unit (OCDD) to determine whether a semantic shift has occurred; and (3) a second DK\-LLM module to classify the drift as either benign or fraudulent. We first validate the value of domain knowledge using a fake review dataset and then apply our full framework to SEConvo, a multiturn dialogue dataset that includes various types of fraud and spam attacks. Results show that our system detects fake conversations with high accuracy and effectively classifies the nature of drift. Guided by structured prompts, the LLaMA\-based implementation achieves 98\% classification accuracy. Comparative studies against zero\-shot baselines demonstrate that incorporating domain knowledge and drift awareness significantly improves performance, interpretability, and robustness in high\-stakes NLP applications.

Conceptualization, Operationalization, and Measurement of Machine Companionship: A Scoping Review
The notion of machine companions has long been embedded in social-technological imaginaries. Recent advances in AI have moved those media musings into believable sociality manifested in interfaces, robotic bodies, and devices. Those machines are often referred to colloquially as "companions" yet there is little careful engagement of machine companionship (MC) as a formal concept or measured variable. This PRISMA-guided scoping review systematically samples, surveys, and synthesizes current scho…

Log-concavity and anti-maximum principles for semilinear and linear elliptic equations
This paper is concerned with existence and qualitative properties of positive solutions of semilinear elliptic equations in bounded domains with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We show the existence of positive solutions in the vicinity of the linear equation and the log-concavity of the solutions when the domain is strictly convex. We also review the standard results on the log-concavity or the more general quasi-concavity of solutions of elliptic equations. The existence and other convergence …

Regression Testing Optimization for ROS-based Autonomous Systems: A Comprehensive Review of Techniques
Regression testing plays a critical role in maintaining software reliability, particularly for ROS-based autonomous systems (ROSAS), which frequently undergo continuous integration and iterative development. However, conventional regression testing techniques face significant challenges when applied to autonomous systems due to their dynamic and non-deterministic behaviors, complex multi-modal sensor data, asynchronous distributed architectures, and stringent safety and real-time constraints.

Irec: A Metacognitive Scaffolding for Self-Regulated Learning through Just-in-Time Insight Recall: A Conceptual Framework and System Prototype
The core challenge in learning has shifted from knowledge acquisition to effective Self-Regulated Learning (SRL): planning, monitoring, and reflecting on one's learning. Existing digital tools, however, inadequately support metacognitive reflection. Spaced Repetition Systems (SRS) use de-contextualized review, overlooking the role of context, while Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) tools require high manual maintenance. To address these challenges, this paper introduces "Insight Recall," a …

Review of heat and charge transport in strongly magnetized relativistic plasmas
We review field-theoretic studies of charge transport in hot relativistic plasmas under strong magnetic fields and extend the analysis to thermal conductivity. The calculations rely on accurately determining the fermion damping rate. Using the Landau-level representation, these damping rates are computed exactly at leading order and incorporated into the Kubo formula to obtain the thermal and electrical conductivity tensors. Our analysis reveals that the underlying mechanisms of longitudinal an…

On The Impact of Merge Request Deviations on Code Review Practices
Code review is a key practice in software engineering, ensuring quality and collaboration. However, industrial Merge Request (MR) workflows often deviate from standardized review processes, with many MRs serving non-review purposes (e.g., drafts, rebases, or dependency updates). We term these cases deviations and hypothesize that ignoring them biases analytics and undermines ML models for review analysis. We identify seven deviation categories, occurring in 37.02% of MRs, and propose a few-sh…
