Surviving cancer starts at diagnosis and continues after treatment – earlier survivorship care can help patients feel better and live longer
Cancer survivorship is often thought to begin after a patient receives their last treatment. But planning for life after cancer is critical to effective care.
Indian Gen Z ‘cockroach’ protesters aim to upend assumptions about democracy – and populism – in Modi’s India
The protests challenge the government’s view of who “the people” are, what democracy means, and who speaks for youth, women and the politically marginalized.
Beyond Policy Engines: Binding-Complete Execution Admission
arXiv:2610.29701v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Policy engines determine whether evaluated policies permit a request, but a correct ALLOW decision does not establish complete governance-source participation, exact contex…
CausGround: Causal Interaction Grounding for Adaptive Embodied Planning
arXiv:2610.29702v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) show promising reasoning capabilities, but reliable physical interaction requires planning that accounts for when actions are execu…
Reconstruction-Augmented Visuomotor Pre-Training of 3D-Grounded Bimanual Dexterity from RGB-Only Human Videos
arXiv:2610.29716v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present SpatialDex, a framework that learns 3D-grounded bimanual dexterity from RGB-only human videos through reconstruction-augmented visuomotor pre-training. The centr…
Bio-Inspired Auditory Processing: Coupling Parallel Resonate-and-Fire Dynamics with Ternary Recurrent Networks for Speech Recognition
arXiv:2610.29720v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) promise energy-efficient inference through sparse, event-driven computation, yet remain constrained on continuous, context-dependent tasks su…
Retrieval Augmented Generation Compositionality
arXiv:2610.29722v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) grounds large language models in external knowledge. Modern pipelines combine embedding, chunking, retrieval, reranking, query augmenta…
Sufficient and Necessary Causal Explanations for the Analysis of Autonomous Systems
arXiv:2610.29724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding failures of autonomous systems is challenging, particularly when their behavior depends on black-box components such as neural networks. In this work, we make…
Structure-Aware Message Passing on Petri Nets through Directed Walks and Incidence Diffusion
arXiv:2610.29725v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A common application of the process mining discipline is to connect observed event data with Petri nets, which are bipartite, directed graphical process models with rich fo…
Accept or Repair: Preserving Passage-Supported Answers in Contrastive Decoding
arXiv:2610.29727v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models often answer from knowledge learned during training, even when a provided passage contradicts that knowledge. To address this problem, contrastive dec…
Post-hoc Epistemic Uncertainty for Vision-Language-Action Policies
arXiv:2610.29730v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) policies need to recognize gaps in their training knowledge to request useful demonstrations or assistance in new situations, especially when f…
Computing the Nucleon of Matching Games
arXiv:2610.29731v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The nucleon is the multiplicative counterpart of the nucleolus: it lexicographically maximizes the fraction of its stand-alone value that each coalition receives. We study …
SAKURA: Serving Attention Key-Value State Under Rate Adaptation for Private Image Editing on Phones
arXiv:2610.29733v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion transformers are widely used in image-editing services. To preserve both efficiency and privacy, existing systems commonly rely on cloud-device collaboration. Kee…
Monitorability Is Trainable: Post-Training for Chain-of-Thought Monitorability
arXiv:2610.29734v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chain-of-thought (CoT) monitoring is one of the few practical tools available for overseeing capable AI systems, but it is fragile: a model's reasoning is only useful to a …
Two Sides of the Same Proof: Extraction and Projection in Choreographic Programming
arXiv:2610.29736v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A new approach to the theory of choreographic languages has recently been proposed, based on the interpretation of choreographies with finite behaviors as proofs in an exte…
Learning to Measure and Diagnose: A Clinical-Dictionary Radiomic Bottleneck Model for Thyroid Nodule Classification
arXiv:2610.29738v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Thyroid ultrasound supports the assessment of nodule malignancy, but classification predictions often lack evidence linked to familiar clinical descriptions. Radiomics prov…
APED-CXR: Adaptive Privileged Evidence Distillation for Chest X-Ray Grounding with Image-Only Inference
arXiv:2610.29740v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Compact chest X-ray (CXR) models that localize findings suit deployment, but box annotations are limited and report-aware multimodal models are expensive at inference. We i…
