CARE: Towards Clinical Accountability in Multi-Modal Medical Reasoning with an Evidence-Grounded Agentic Framework
Large visual language models (VLMs) have shown strong multi-modal medical reasoning ability, but most operate as end-to-end black boxes, diverging from clinicians' evidence-based, staged workflows ...

A Block Least Mean Square Method for Fiber Longitudinal Power Profile Monitoring
We propose a block least mean square (LMS) algorithm to monitor the longitudinal power profile of a fiber-optic link through receiver-based digital data from a coherent detector. Compared to the be...

IDProxy: Cold-Start CTR Prediction for Ads and Recommendation at Xiaohongshu with Multimodal LLMs
Click-through rate (CTR) models in advertising and recommendation systems rely heavily on item ID embeddings, which struggle in item cold-start settings. We present IDProxy, a solution that leverag...

Testing Hooke-like isotropic hyper-/hypo-elastic material models under finite simple shear deformations
We test some Hooke-like isotropic hyper-/hypo-elastic material models under finite simple shear deformations (cf., Thiel et al. Int. J. Non-linear Mech. 112: 57--72, 2019) and show that (1) the com...

Pharmacology Knowledge Graphs: Do We Need Chemical Structure for Drug Repurposing?
The contributions of model complexity, data volume, and feature modalities to knowledge graph-based drug repurposing remain poorly quantified under rigorous temporal validation. We constructed a ph...
