UI-Mate: Advancing Open-Weight Foundation GUI Agents with In-Context Demonstrations

arXiv:2608. 15930v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Foundation GUI agents can automate complex digital tasks, but deployment is hindered by scarce and biased training data, ambiguous prompts, and unreliable execution.

Take it Personally: The Limits of General SSL Representations for Real-Life PPG Emotion Detection

arXiv:2608. 14675v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) effectively extracts general representations from noisy, unconstrained physiological signals such as photoplethysmography (PPG), its suitability for highly subjective tasks remains unproven.

ReasonCast: Agentic Demand Forecasting with Selective Semantic Reasoning

arXiv:2608. 15291v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Demand forecasting increasingly requires combining two complementary sources of information: historical sales reveal recurring numerical dynamics, while future promotions, holidays, price changes, and platform interventions provide forward-looking knowledge.

Inference-Time Mitigation of Adversarial Political Bias in Large Language Models

arXiv:2608. 14629v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) become the mainstay for information retrieval and summarization tasks, ensuring that they are always non-partisan and invulnerable to political bias is a critical step towards safer and more trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI).

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

arXiv:2608. 16873v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 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.

CoM$^3$eT: A foundation model for medical image analysis through federated, multidimensional context integration

arXiv:2608. 16268v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical foundation models improve generalization when training AI models with limited labeled data, but remain confined to a single specialty, such as pathology or radiology, and to either sparse or dense outputs, such as classification or segmentation.
