Blockage-Aware and Shadowing Aware RIS Assisted Joint Communication and Positioning for Urban Non Terrestrial Networks
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have recently attracted interest for non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), especially for improving satellite communication performance. However, RIS-assisted urban NTN designs that jointly support reliable communication and user positioning under blockage, while maintaining low online complexity, remain limited. This paper proposes a blockage-aware and shadow…

Air-Know: Arbiter-Calibrated Knowledge-Internalizing Robust Network for Composed Image Retrieval
Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) has attracted significant attention due to its flexible multimodal query method, yet its development is severely constrained by the Noisy Triplet Correspondence (NTC) problem. Most existing robust learning methods rely on the "small loss hypothesis", but the unique semantic ambiguity in NTC, such as "partial matching", invalidates this assumption, leading to unreliab…

Drift Correction of Scan Images by Snapshot Referencing
Reliable quantitative analysis in scanning (transmission) electron microscopy (S(T)EM) is often hindered by image drift during long-duration spectral mapping for elemental analysis or for various material functions. We here present snapshot-referencing (SSR) drift correction, a retrospective approach to eliminate spatial distortions based on the temporal nature of the scanning process; A continuou…

Multimodal Transformer for Sample-Aware Prediction of Metal-Organic Framework Properties
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a major target of machine-learning-based property prediction, yet most models assume that a single framework representation maps to a single property value. This assumption becomes problematic for experimental MOFs, where samples reported as the same framework can exhibit different properties because of differences in crystallinity, phase purity, defects, and ot…

Sharp recovery and landscape guarantees for the nonconvex matrix LASSO
Low-rank matrix recovery can be solved to statistical optimality by convex matrix optimization under the classical assumption of restricted isometry property (RIP). However, for large problems, the convex formulation is commonly replaced by a smooth rank-constrained factored nonconvex problem for which algorithmic theory typically only guarantees convergence to second-order critical points. In thi…

PanDA: Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Multimodal 3D Panoptic Segmentation in Autonomous Driving
This paper presents the first study on Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) for multimodal 3D panoptic segmentation (mm-3DPS), aiming to improve generalization under domain shifts commonly encountered in real-world autonomous driving. A straightforward solution is to employ a pseudo-labeling strategy, which is widely used in UDA to generate supervision for unlabeled target data, combined with an m…

Random Reward Phase-Type Distributions with Applications in Latent Severity Modeling
This paper proposes an extension to discrete Phase-Type distributions (DPH) by introducing random rewards. These allow for modeling a system in which a visit to a certain state does not emit a deterministic reward. Instead, the rewards follow either a Bernoulli or a geometric distribution. Utilizing this increased flexibility, we further sketch a possible use case for these random rewards by intro…

Achieving Interaction Fluidity in a Wizard-of-Oz Robotic System: A Prototype for Fluid Error-Correction
Achieving truly fluid interaction with robots with speech interfaces remains a hard problem, and the experience of current Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) remains laboured and frustrating. Some of the barriers to fluid interaction stem from a lack of a suitable development platform for HRI for improving interaction, even in robotic Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) modes of operation used for data collection and p…

Systematic Detection of Energy Regression and Corresponding Code Patterns in Java Projects
Green software engineering is emerging as a crucial response to information technology's rising energy impact, especially in continuous development. However, there remain challenges in devising automated methods for identifying energy regressions across commits and their associated code change patterns. In particular, little effort has been put into automatically detecting regressions at the commi…

TACENR: Task-Agnostic Contrastive Explanations for Node Representations
Graph representation learning has achieved notable success in encoding graph-structured data into latent vector spaces, enabling a wide range of downstream tasks. However, these node representations remain opaque and difficult to interpret. Existing explainability methods primarily focus on supervised settings or on explaining individual representation dimensions, leaving a critical gap in explain…

Suffix Random Access via Function Inversion: A Key for Asymmetric Streaming String Algorithms
Many string processing problems can be phrased in the streaming setting, where the input arrives symbol by symbol and we have sublinear working space. The area of streaming algorithms for string processing has flourished since the seminal work of Porat and Porat [FOCS 2009]. Unfortunately, problems with efficient solutions in the classical setting often do not admit efficient solutions in the st…

IonMorphNet: Generalizable Learning of Ion Image Morphologies for Peak Picking in Mass Spectrometry Imaging
Peak picking is a fundamental preprocessing step in Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI), where each sample is represented by hundreds to thousands of ion images. Existing approaches require careful dataset-specific hyperparameter tuning, and often fail to generalize across acquisition protocols. We introduce IonMorphNet, a spatial-structure-aware representation model for ion images that enables fully …

Mind2Drive: Predicting Driver Intentions from EEG in Real-world On-Road Driving
Predicting driver intention from neurophysiological signals offers a promising pathway for enhancing proactive safety in advanced driver assistance systems, yet remains challenging in real-world driving due to EEG signal non-stationarity and the complexity of cognitive-motor preparation. This study proposes and evaluates an EEG-based driver intention prediction framework using a synchronised multi…

From Anomaly to Candidate Technosignature: The Threshold Problem of the Loeb Scale
Recent work on the Loeb Scale has provided astronomy a structured framework for assessing anomalous interstellar objects, including a quantitative mapping of a classification ranking, its evolution with the addition of data, and a broader observational strategy for firming its verdict. What remains unclear is the epistemic and methodological meaning of the threshold built into that framework. Here…

Physical Analysis of Bennu Samples Reveals Regolith Production by Collisional Disruption on Near-Earth Asteroids
Owing to the extremely low gravity of small near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), it has been assumed that impact-generated rock fragments escape into space and thus do not contribute to the accumulation of regolith. However, centimeter-sized stones returned from the small NEA Bennu by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission exhibit impact craters up to a few millimeters wide, implying that impact fragments and impact-p…

Deconstructing Superintelligence: Identity, Self-Modification and Différance
Self-modification is often taken as constitutive of artificial superintelligence (SI), yet modification is a relative action requiring a supplement outside the operation. When self-modification extends to this supplement, the classical self-referential structure collapses. We formalise this on an associative operator algebra $\mathcal{A}$ with update $\hat{U}$, discrimination $\hat{D}$, and self-r…

FairTree: Subgroup Fairness Auditing of Machine Learning Models with Bias-Variance Decomposition
The evaluation of machine learning models typically relies mainly on performance metrics based on loss functions, which risk to overlook changes in performance in relevant subgroups. Auditing tools such as SliceFinder and SliceLine were proposed to detect such groups, but usually have conceptual disadvantages, such as the inability to directly address continuous covariates. In this paper, we intro…

LASER: Learning Active Sensing for Continuum Field Reconstruction
High-fidelity measurements of continuum physical fields are essential for scientific discovery and engineering design but remain challenging under sparse and constrained sensing. Conventional reconstruction methods typically rely on fixed sensor layouts, which cannot adapt to evolving physical states. We propose LASER, a unified, closed-loop framework that formulates active sensing as a Partially …

Asymptotic e-processes
We introduce the concept of an asymptotic e-process, which is a doubly indexed stochastic process $(E_{m,n})_{m,n\in\mathbb{N}}$ that approximates an e-process with monitoring time $n$ in terms of a suitable limiting behavior for an approximation parameter $m\to \infty$. This theory is motivated by practical applications in sequential hypothesis testing, in which e-variables can only be constructe…
