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.

arXiv:2608. 13100v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Contemporary online assessment systems rely primarily on browser lockdown, webcam monitoring, and behavioural analytics, yet remain vulnerable to attacks that extract the assessment content itself through screenshots, screen sharing, optical character recognition, and automated scraping.

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.
