Dynamic Fusion-Aware Graph Convolutional Neural Network for Multimodal Emotion Recognition in Conversations
arXiv:2603.22345v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Multimodal emotion recognition in conversations (MERC) aims to identify and understand the emotions expressed by speakers during utterance interaction from multiple modalities (e.g., text, audio, images, etc.). Existing studies have shown that GCN can...
Memory Bear AI Memory Science Engine for Multimodal Affective Intelligence: A Technical Report
arXiv:2603.22306v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Affective judgment in real interaction is rarely a purely local prediction problem. Emotional meaning often depends on prior trajectory, accumulated context, and multimodal evidence that may be weak, noisy, or incomplete at the current moment. Althoug...
Stanford computer scientist James Zou is exploring how AI can accelerate scientific research and peer review. His finding: AI excels at spotting gaps, but judgment calls still need humans.
Transformer-Based Predictive Maintenance for Risk-Aware Instrument Calibration
arXiv:2603.20297v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Accurate calibration is essential for instruments whose measurements must remain traceable, reliable, and compliant over long operating periods. Fixed-interval programs are easy to administer, but they ignore that instruments drift at different rates ...
SafetyPairs: Isolating Safety Critical Image Features with Counterfactual Image Generation
This paper was accepted at the Principled Design for Trustworthy AI — Interpretability, Robustness, and Safety across Modalities Workshop at ICLR 2026.
What exactly makes a particular image unsafe? Systematically differentiating between benign and problematic images is a challenging problem, as subt...
BrainSCL: Subtype-Guided Contrastive Learning for Brain Disorder Diagnosis
arXiv:2603.19295v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Mental disorder populations exhibit pronounced heterogeneity -- that is, the significant differences between samples -- poses a significant challenge to the definition of positive pairs in contrastive learning. To address this, we propose a subtype-gu...
Towards Differentiating Between Failures and Domain Shifts in Industrial Data Streams
arXiv:2603.18032v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Anomaly and failure detection methods are crucial in identifying deviations from normal system operational conditions, which allows for actions to be taken in advance, usually preventing more serious damages. Long-lasting deviations indicate failures,...
arXiv:2603.17063v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Transformers are the dominant architecture in AI, yet why they work remains poorly understood. This paper offers a precise answer: a transformer is a Bayesian network. We establish this in five ways.
First, we prove that every sigmoid transformer wi...
AI-powered robot learns how to harvest tomatoes more efficiently
A new tomato-picking robot is learning to think before it acts. Instead of simply identifying ripe fruit, it predicts how easy each tomato will be to harvest and adjusts its approach accordingly. This smarter strategy boosted success rates to 81%, with the robot even switching angles when needed. Th...
How to Achieve Prototypical Birth and Death for OOD Detection?
arXiv:2603.15650v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection is crucial for the secure deployment of machine learning models, and prototype-based learning methods are among the mainstream strategies for achieving OOD detection. Existing prototype-based learning methods genera...
XLinear: Frequency-Enhanced MLP with CrossFilter for Robust Long-Range Forecasting
arXiv:2603.15645v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Time series forecasters are widely used across various domains. Among them, MLP (multi-layer perceptron)-based forecasters have been proven to be more robust to noise compared to Transformer-based forecasters. However, MLP struggles to capture complex...
Continual Fine-Tuning with Provably Accurate and Parameter-Free Task Retrieval
arXiv:2603.13235v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Continual fine-tuning aims to adapt a pre-trained backbone to new tasks sequentially while preserving performance on earlier tasks whose data are no longer available. Existing approaches fall into two categories which include input- and parameter-adap...
RFX-Fuse: Breiman and Cutler's Unified ML Engine + Native Explainable Similarity
arXiv:2603.13234v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Breiman and Cutler's original Random Forest was designed as a unified ML engine -- not merely an ensemble predictor. Their implementation included classification, regression, unsupervised learning, proximity-based similarity, outlier
detection, miss...
Introducing Feature-Based Trajectory Clustering, a clustering algorithm for longitudinal data
arXiv:2603.13254v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We present a new algorithm for clustering longitudinal data. Data of this type can be conceptualized as consisting of individuals and, for each such individual, observations of a time-dependent variable made at various times. Generically, the specific...
Human Attribution of Causality to AI Across Agency, Misuse, and Misalignment
arXiv:2603.13236v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: AI-related incidents are becoming increasingly frequent and severe, ranging from safety failures to misuse by malicious actors. In such complex situations, identifying which elements caused an adverse outcome, the problem of cause selection, is a crit...
AMES: Approximate Multi-modal Enterprise Search via Late Interaction Retrieval
We present AMES (Approximate Multimodal Enterprise Search), a unified multimodal late interaction retrieval architecture which is backend agnostic.
