Turning spectra into images improves plant trait retrieval with 2D-CNNs

arXiv:2608. 16661v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hyperspectral reflectance spectroscopy enables non-destructive estimation of plant functional traits, yet current deep learning approaches process spectra as one-dimensional sequences, which limits how they capture long-range inter-band dependencies.

Mint-Agent: Introducing Finance-Native Agentic Foundation Models

arXiv:2608. 16386v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Financial agents must do more than recall domain knowledge: they must be both reliable, executing precise operations over grounded evidence, and executive, sustaining long-horizon research whose conclusions remain auditable.

FedPA-LoRA: Product-Aligned Framework for Mitigating Aggregation and Initialization Errors in Heterogeneous Federated LoRA

arXiv:2608. 15381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) enables efficient federated fine-tuning of large language models, but its factorized parameterization creates a tension between accurate aggregation of local updates and continuity of locally optimized factors.

An Analytical-Prior Framework for Data-Efficient Prediction of Sound-Reduction Frequencies in Rectangular Side-Branch Helmholtz Resonators

High-fidelity finite-element simulations can provide accurate numerical predictions for side-branch resonators, but large simulation datasets are expensive to generate and purely data-driven surrogates may become unreliable when simulation-labelled data are scarce. This study develops an analytical-prior learning framework that reuses a low-cost analytical model to improve data efficiency under limited high-fidelity simulation budgets.
