Picking the Right Image to Classify: Reliable-Input Selection in Teledermatology

arXiv:2608. 16198v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dermatology models face distribution shifts in teledermatology settings, where submitted images differ from the training data in lighting, angle, distance, focus, and framing.

LLMs Can Predict Failure Risk, But Struggle to Predict Which Collaboration Protocol Pays Off: Cost-Aware Protocol Routing Across Reasoning Tasks

arXiv:2608. 14927v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent large language model (LLM) systems can improve reasoning by spending more computation, but deployment requires deciding when extra collaboration is worth its cost.

Beyond Thresholds: A Quality-Aware Decision Intelligence Framework for Cold Chain IoT Systems

arXiv:2608. 15082v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cold chain logistics has advanced technologically, yet most deployed systems remain reactive monitors, not decision-making agents: thresholds trigger alerts, but nothing relates violations to cumulative product degradation or converts degradation signals into logistics decisions.

Large Language Models and their Awareness of Mechanics and Spatial Geometry

arXiv:2608. 14615v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) perform well on established code-generation and mathematical-reasoning benchmarks, but their capabilities in mechanics and spatial geometry, here denoted as mechanical engineering awareness, has not been quantified systematically.

CEDAR-GRPO: Process-Aware Reinforcement Learning for General Abductive Reasoning in LLMs

arXiv:2608. 14791v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Abductive reasoning, often characterized as inference to the best explanation, is central to explanation under uncertainty, from everyday sense-making and investigation to scientific discovery.
