A new tool can help predict brain-damaging seizures and free up continuous EEG machines for high-risk patients
In hospital intensive care units, neurologists often use a simple scorecard to quickly evaluate a critically ill patient's likelihood of having a brain-damaging seizure so they can prevent it. The scorecard saves lives, lowers costs and helps doctors make far more efficient use of important, expensive medical equipment.

Tool Graph Retriever: Exploring Dependency Graph-based Tool Retrieval for Large Language Models
With the remarkable advancement of AI agents, the number of their equipped tools is increasing rapidly. However, integrating all tool information into the limited model context becomes impractical, highlighting the need for efficient tool retrieval methods. In this regard, dominant methods primarily rely on semantic similarities between tool descriptions and user queries to retrieve relevant tools. However, they often consider each tool independently, overlooking dependencies between tools, whi…

Tool for Supporting Debugging and Understanding of Normative Requirements Using LLMs
Normative requirements specify social, legal, ethical, empathetic, and cultural (SLEEC) norms that must be observed by a system. To support the identification of SLEEC requirements, numerous standards and regulations have been developed. These requirements are typically defined by stakeholders in the non-technical system with diverse expertise (e.g., ethicists, lawyers, social scientists). Hence, ensuring their consistency and managing the requirement elicitation process are complex and error-p…

A limit lifting theorem for fibrations between bicategories
A standard result from the theory of Grothendieck fibrations states that if $p : E \to B$ is a fibration, then $E$ has limits of shape $\mathcal{J}$ if $B$ has limits of shape $\mathcal{J}$ the fibers of $\mathcal{E}$ have limits of shape $\mathcal{J}$, and the reindexing functors preserve these limits. Such a result is a basic tool when computing limits in a category known to be the total category of a fibration, for example, one that is defined using the Grothendieck construction. This paper …

Topological quantum field theory (TQFT) is a powerful tool to describe homologies, which normally involve complexes and a variety of maps/morphisms, what makes a functional integration approach with a sum over a single kind of maps seemingly problematic. In TQFT this problem is overcame by exploiting the rich set of zero modes of BRST operators, which appear sufficient to describe complexes.

On the Normalization of Confusion Matrices: Methods and Geometric Interpretations
The confusion matrix is a standard tool for evaluating classifiers by providing insights into class-level errors. In heterogeneous settings, its values are shaped by two main factors: class similarity -- how easily the model confuses two classes -- and distribution bias, arising from skewed distributions in the training and test sets. However, confusion matrix values reflect a mix of both factors, making it difficult to disentangle their individual contributions. To address this, we introduce b…

Technical Report for Egocentric Mistake Detection for the HoloAssist Challenge
In this report, we address the task of online mistake detection, which is vital in domains like industrial automation and education, where real-time video analysis allows human operators to correct errors as they occur. While previous work focuses on procedural errors involving action order, broader error types must be addressed for real-world use. We introduce an online mistake detection framework that handles both procedural and execution errors (e.g., motor slips or tool misuse). Upon detect…

Two-point measurement correlations beyond the quantum regression theorem
Temporal correlations are fundamental in quantum physics, yet their computation is often challenging. The regression theorem (or hypothesis) serves as a key tool in this context, offering a seemingly straightforward approach. However, it fails for systems strongly coupled to their surroundings, where memory effects become significant. Here, we extend the analysis of temporal correlations beyond the regression theorem, revealing what can be learned about open quantum systems when this hypothesis…

Long-Term Experiences From Working with Extended Reality in the Wild
Extended Reality (XR) is increasingly used as a productivity tool and recent commercial XR devices have even been specifically designed as productivity tools, or, at least, are heavily advertised for such purposes, such as the Apple Vision Pro (AVP), which has now been available for more than one year. In spite of what marketing suggests, research still lacks an understanding of the long-term usage of such devices in ecologically valid everyday settings, as most studies are conducted in very co…

Implicit Neural Representation-Based MRI Reconstruction Method with Sensitivity Map Constraints
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a widely utilized diagnostic tool in clinical settings, but its application is limited by the relatively long acquisition time. As a result, fast MRI reconstruction has become a significant area of research. In recent years, Implicit Neural Representation (INR), as a scan-specific method, has demonstrated outstanding performance in fast MRI reconstruction without fully-sampled images for training. High acceleration reconstruction poses a challenging problem, …

In this work we introduce a field-theoretic tool that enable us to evaluate the critical exponents of $δ_{KLS}$-generalized systems undergoing continuous phase transitions, namely $δ_{KLS}$-generalized statistical field theory. It generalizes the standard Boltzmann-Gibbs through the introduction of the $δ_{KLS}$ parameter from which Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics is recovered in the limit $δ_{KLS}\rightarrow 0$. From the results for the critical exponents we provide the referred physical interp…

While concept-based interpretability methods have traditionally focused on local explanations of neural network predictions, we propose a novel framework and interactive tool that extends these methods into the domain of mechanistic interpretability. Our approach enables a global dissection of model behavior by analyzing how high-level semantic attributes (referred to as concepts) emerge, interact, and propagate through internal model components. Unlike prior work that isolates individual neuro…

Model-based framework for automated quantification of error sources in quantum state tomography
High-quality quantum state generation is essential for advanced quantum information processing, including quantum communication, quantum sensing, and quantum computing. In practice, various error sources degrade the quality of quantum states, and quantum state tomography (QST) is a standard diagnostic tool. However, in QST, multiple error sources gather in a single density matrix, making it difficult to identify individual error sources. To address this problem, we propose an automated method f…

Selective reflection Casimir-Polder spectroscopy in vapor cells: the influence of the thermal velocity distribution
Selective reflection is a high-resolution spectroscopic method that allows the probing of atomic and molecular gases in the near field of dielectric cell windows. It is a sensitive technique for measuring interactions between excited atoms and surfaces, thus providing a unique tool to probe resonant effects in Casimir-Polder physics. The theoretical modelling of selective reflection spectra has thus far employed the infinite Doppler approximation which assumes that the Doppler shift dominates o…
