The Role of Natural Language Understanding in Multimodal Video-Based Dengue Diagnosis

arXiv:2608. 12677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Detecting infection-related behavioral changes in mosquitoes from video data is challenging because mosquitoes are small, move rapidly and irregularly, and are affected by environmental factors such as background, lighting, and shadows, which can make reliable feature extraction difficult.

TsuGO: Probing Search Efficiency in LLM Reasoning via Go Life-and-Death Problems

arXiv:2608. 13221v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The evaluation of LLM reasoning is moving from final-answer accuracy to process-level assessment, yet existing methods still fail to capture how models plan reasoning paths and allocate reasoning resources--that is, how they organize search.
