The study benchmarks tokenization choices for generative medical event models, evaluating quantization granularity, reference-range anchoring, code–value fusion, numeric and temporal encodings, and native versus harmonized event representations. Using Llama and Qwen architectures, 156 models were trained and assessed on early hospitalization data, showing that fusing codes with value deciles and using event-order or admission-relative RoPE embeddings improved predictive performance. The Common Longitudinal Intensive Care Unit Data Format (CLIF) reduced token count by 30.8% while enhancing outcomes in most families.
The paper introduces HypoKG, a unified biochemical knowledge graph built from KEGG, Rhea, and UniProt, and uses it to benchmark 13,200 biomedical hypotheses generated by six large language models (LLMs). By varying the biological information provided—source enzyme only, full biological path, or source and disease endpoint—the study finds that LLMs produce higher-scoring hypotheses when given minimal information, but these are less evidence‑grounded. When supplied with the full biological path, the models generate hypotheses that align more closely with known mechanistic relationships, a phenomenon the authors term evidence‑disciplined reasoning, which is confirmed by shuffling intermediate path steps. "whyItMatters":"The study demonstrates that knowledge graphs can both uncover novel disease–enzyme pairs and guide LLMs to reason more accurately from evidence, improving the reliability of AI‑generated biomedical hypotheses."
GraphProfiler is an auditable LLM-based profiler that infers sensitive attributes such as age, income, and occupation from user-generated content by aggregating indirect cues across many posts. It represents each user's post history as a source-linked personal knowledge graph, allowing predictions to be traced back to specific posts, concepts, and relationships. The system achieves an 86.7% success rate on the SynthPAI benchmark and 84.6% on PANDORA, citing supporting evidence for over 98% of predictions and demonstrating that cited posts significantly contribute to attack success.
DRS‑VPT is a feed‑forward transformer that performs image‑to‑scan registration by predicting the scan pose, point maps, and a coarse‑to‑fine feature pyramid for direct reprojective alignment. It unifies tasks like camera‑LiDAR calibration and indoor camera‑to‑map relocalization, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results in autonomous driving and competitive performance indoors without map‑specific training. The model also learns complex scan‑to‑image projection behaviors, such as occlusion of back‑facing points.
GRACE is a new framework for concept erasure in text-to-image diffusion models that uses a semantically weighted sensitive subspace to guide localized interventions and lightweight subspace-constrained adapters to avoid global semantic disruption. It replaces manual counterfactual prompts with an automatically decoupled safe-anchor mechanism and controls intervention strength through an energy-driven dynamic gating system. Experiments show GRACE improves NSFW reduction by 17.86% over five state-of-the-art methods while also reducing target CLIP Score and FID, indicating stronger concept suppression with better preservation of generative quality.
VideoTok4D introduces a 4D‑aware video tokenizer that transforms videos into compact tokens representing a dynamic 3D world. It employs spatiotemporal disentanglement to separate static and dynamic content, a track‑aware dynamic attention mechanism for motion consistency across views, and a diffusion prior (Co4DGen) for efficient 4D scene generation. Experiments show state‑of‑the‑art results with up to four orders of magnitude less storage than dense 4D representations, and shorter diffusion sequences for faster generation.
The paper presents a novel multi‑exit computational scheme for TinyML on an ultra‑low‑power GAP9 SoC, adding confidence‑based gating points to a MobileNetV2 CNN for ImageNet‑100. By allowing inference to stop early, the approach cuts average MAC operations by 41 % (from 313 MMAC to 185 MMAC), reduces inference time by 29 % (49 ms to 35 ms), and saves 24 % in energy (2.1 mJ to 1.6 mJ per frame) with only a ~1 % drop in accuracy. Compared to a state‑of‑the‑art adaptive CNN on the same hardware, the method more than doubles computational efficiency, raising MAC/cycle from 8.1 to 17.2.
CanvasAnneal is a curriculum‑guided reinforcement learning framework designed to improve Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) on complex reasoning and tool‑use tasks. It starts training by injecting reasoning traces from a stronger teacher model into the diffusion canvas, then gradually reduces this guidance so the model learns to generate reasoning independently. Experiments on mathematical reasoning and tool‑use benchmarks show that CanvasAnneal outperforms standard diffusion RL methods such as diffu‑GRPO on tasks like MATH500, Countdown, and Tau2, and accelerates reward improvement, though the gains vary by task.
MAxBench is a geometry‑agnostic benchmark for evaluating how well language models recover multinomial concept representations. The study compares ten localization methods across five geometry types, six concepts, and four models, finding that affine subspaces generally steer more reliably and recall more instances than rank‑one or linear subspaces. The results also show that manifold steering can match the best methods when applicable, and that no method consistently outperforms prompting for these complex concepts.
The paper introduces AIM, a privacy‑aware memory framework that lets multi‑agent, multi‑user large language models manage both private and shared memory. AIM classifies data as private (user‑specific) or public (shared) and enforces index‑level access controls to protect sensitive information while enabling shared knowledge to improve coordination. The authors also present MUMBench, a new dataset for evaluating memory operations in multi‑user settings, and report high accuracy metrics for AIM on this benchmark.
