InfoOps Bench: A live information operations safety benchmark

arXiv:2607. 28503v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this paper we present an active, constantly updated AI benchmark which measures the integrity of frontier language models against being co-opted for use by authoritarian state "information operations": intentional, coordinated activities by one state to influence public opinion and information ecosystems in another state.

FoMoH: A clinically meaningful foundation model evaluation for structured electronic health records

arXiv:2505. 16941v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Foundation models (FMs) promise to address core limitations of traditional supervised machine learning: (i) reliance on large amounts of labeled data, (ii) task specificity, and (iii) poor transportability.

CPDA: Class-Conditional Path Distribution Alignment for Unsupervised Time-Series Domain Adaptation

arXiv:2608. 09193v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unsupervised time-series domain adaptation (DA) addresses the challenge of transferring a classifier from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain under distribution shifts induced by different users, sensors, devices, acquisition conditions, or temporal dynamics.

TS-Mob: Social and Geographical-Aware Time Series Foundation-Model Framework for Human Mobility Prediction

arXiv:2507. 00945v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Short-term forecasting of aggregated human mobility flows supports urban planning, intelligent transportation systems, and emergency response, yet existing models often require substantial mobility history and learn spatial structure implicitly through grids or graphs.

Learning Multi-Timescale Interventions under Safety and Resource Constraints

arXiv:2508. 03875v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Many sequential decision problems offer qualitatively different ways of influencing the environment: some interventions act immediately, whereas others induce persistent effects that continue to shape future states long after the decision that initiated them.
