From Pixels to Predicates: Learning Symbolic World Models via Pretrained Vision-Language Models

This paper proposes a method that leverages pretrained vision-language models to learn compact, abstract symbolic world models from limited visual demonstrations, enabling zero-shot generalization and long-horizon planning for complex robotic tasks across novel objects, environments, and goals.

Language in the Flow of Time: Time-Series-Paired Texts Weaved into a Unified Temporal Narrative

This paper introduces Texts as Time Series (TaTS), a novel framework that leverages the periodic alignment between paired texts and time series data to enhance multimodal forecasting and imputation performance in existing numerical-only models without requiring architectural changes.

Enhancing Alzheimer's Diagnosis: Leveraging Anatomical Landmarks in Graph Convolutional Neural Networks on Tetrahedral Meshes

This paper proposes a novel transformer-based geometric deep learning model that tokenizes tetrahedral meshes with anatomical landmarks to accurately classify Alzheimer's disease and predict brain amyloid positivity in medium-risk individuals, offering a robust alternative to costly and invasive PET scans.

The impact of AI and peer feedback on research writing skills: a study using the CGScholar platform among Kazakhstani scholars

This study of 36 Kazakhstani scholars using the CGScholar platform reveals that while familiarity with AI tools correlates with openness to feedback, participants still highly value peer input for methodological guidance, suggesting that integrating AI with traditional peer feedback effectively enhances academic research writing skills.
