Transfer Learning for Socioeconomic Estimation in Forced-Displacement Settings

The paper presents a transfer‑learning approach that adapts a multimodal spatiotemporal vision transformer, originally trained on Demographic and Health Survey data, to estimate socioeconomic conditions in forced‑displacement settings. Using satellite‑derived geospatial covariates, the adapted model explains up to 66% of variation in socioeconomic outcomes in camp‑intersecting grids and 41% in non‑camp areas, achieving mean absolute errors of 4.37 and 5.41 index points respectively. This framework supplements periodic household surveys by providing regularly updated, spatially granular socioeconomic estimates that bridge data gaps between survey rounds.

Enhancing Large Language Model-Based Systems for End-to-End Circuit Analysis Problem Solving

The paper introduces an enhanced end‑to‑end circuit analysis framework built on Gemini 2.5 Pro, targeting engineering education. It addresses two key failure modes—circuit‑recognition hallucinations and reasoning‑process hallucinations—by adding a YOLO detector for source polarity re‑identification and an ngspice verification loop for iterative refinement. The resulting pipeline achieves 97.59 % accuracy on 83 undergraduate problems, markedly outperforming the baseline Gemini model and demonstrating significant gains across varied diagram styles and textbooks.
