Trustworthy Privacy-Preserving Multimodal Federated Learning for Personalised Breast Cancer Prediction

arXiv:2607. 19532v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated learning has emerged as a potential solution to privacy concerns associated with using sensitive health data for training predictive models, particularly in personalised cancer care.

PG-KINN: A Physics-Informed Petrov-Galerkin Kolmogorov-Arnold Network for Solving Forward and Inverse PDEs

arXiv:2607. 20378v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed learning of partial differential equations (PDEs) has been dominated by multilayer perceptrons (MLPs), whose spectral bias and dense parameterization limit both accuracy and interpretability.

SynPre-FL: Synthetic data-driven pretraining integrated Federated Learning training framework

arXiv:2607. 19524v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated learning (FL) offers a promising approach to privacy-preserving clinical risk prediction, but its deployment remains limited by restricted data sharing, client heterogeneity, class imbalance, and the lack of realistic tabular electronic health record (EHR) benchmarks.

Differentially Private Neural Network Training Under the Hidden State Assumption

arXiv:2407. 08233v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Current differentially private learning paradigms face a severe utility bottleneck: DP-SGD degrades performance through noise accumulation over training steps, while aggregation-based approaches such as PATE suffer from data inefficiency due to disjoint data partitioning.

Harnessing Disagreement: Detecting Correlated Agreement Blindness in Multi-Agent Triage

arXiv:2607. 19899v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Disagreement-triggered escalation can create a structural blind spot in multi-agent arbitration: as base learners improve, they tend to converge, weakening safety monitoring where correlated failures concentrate.

Missing-by-Design: Certifiable Modality Deletion for Revocable Multimodal Sentiment Analysis

arXiv:2602. 16144v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As multimodal systems increasingly process sensitive personal data, the ability to selectively revoke specific data modalities has become a critical requirement for privacy compliance and user autonomy.
