This study introduces an LLM-agent framework to simulate U.S. citizens' attitudes toward China from 2005 to 2025, demonstrating that while subjective news framing has a modest impact on negative attitudes, a "devil's advocate" agent is the most effective mechanism for debiasing opinions and producing more human-like cognitive outcomes.
This paper proposes SFDA-PFT, a lightweight source-free domain adaptation method that utilizes a pretrained translator to map subject-specific style features in the latent space, enabling effective facial expression recognition on unlabeled neutral target data without requiring source data or unstable image synthesis.
Inspired by the iconic Italian television program *Blob*, the paper presents AI Blob!, an experimental LLM-driven system that utilizes semantic cataloging, speech recognition, and retrieval-augmented generation to dynamically retrieve, recontextualize, and algorithmically montage archival Italian television footage into new narrative sequences.
This paper introduces EgoCross, a comprehensive benchmark comprising 1,000 QA pairs across four challenging domains (surgery, industry, extreme sports, and animal perspective) to evaluate and expose the poor cross-domain generalization capabilities of current Multimodal Large Language Models in egocentric video question answering.
