Towards an approach to multivariate outlier detection for District Heating System data

arXiv:2608. 11375v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we test different methods for multivariate detection of outliers in the data of transmitted heat energy in the selected substation of local District Heating System, by also considering outside ambient temperature, namely Z-score (univariate, as a benchmark), Mahalanobis distances, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Isolation Forest and Hotelling's T-squared test.

On Benchmarking Human-Like Intelligence in Machines

arXiv:2502. 20502v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have yielded powerful computational models that, by learning from vast amounts of human-generated data, are increasingly posited as approximate models of human cognition.

Dual-Stream Cross-Anchor Correction Grounding Long-Form Captions and the Domain Limits of Object-Level Anchors

Object hallucination in multimodal large language models arises when language priors and corpus co-occurrence bias outweigh the visual evidence, with nothing tying an individual object mention to what the image shows. Most remedies intervene at decoding time without training, yet under a unified protocol their benefit is confined to short captions;supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on a detail- rich corpus lengthens captions, but over forty percent still name absent objects.

Error-Aware Reverse Auction Mechanism for Large Language Model Routing

Routing each query to a cost-effective large language model (LLM) is critical for balancing quality and cost, yet most routers rely on a centralized task center to predict model performance, creating an information-risk mismatch and a scalability bottleneck as the model pool grows. We propose a market-based routing paradigm that shifts ex-ante prediction to LLM providers via a reverse auction, where providers bid with self-predicted success probabilities and execution costs.

Beyond Trial-and-Error: Agentic Optimization for Image-to-Video Adherence

Modern black-box Image-to-Video (I2V) models offer powerful capabilities in automated content creation, yet their lack of fine-grained control and reliability presents significant challenges in professional workflows. Their inherent stochasticity causes minor variations in textual prompts or hyperparameters to yield drastically different outputs often necessitating inefficient, brute-force trial-and-error processes.
