Defining AI Models and AI Systems: A Framework to Resolve the Boundary Problem

This paper addresses the regulatory ambiguity surrounding "AI models" and "AI systems" by proposing clear conceptual and operational definitions that distinguish trained parameters from broader system components, thereby facilitating the precise allocation of obligations across the AI value chain.

A Governance and Evaluation Framework for Deterministic, Rule-Based Clinical Decision Support in Empiric Antibiotic Prescribing

This paper proposes a governance and evaluation framework for deterministic, rule-based clinical decision support systems in empiric antibiotic prescribing that prioritizes transparency, auditability, and conservative behavior by formally separating decision logic from scope constraints and utilizing synthetic case validation to ensure behavioral alignment with predefined rules.

Architecture-Aware LLM Inference Optimization on AMD Instinct GPUs: A Comprehensive Benchmark and Deployment Study

This paper presents a comprehensive benchmark of production LLM inference on AMD Instinct MI325X GPUs, demonstrating that architecture-aware optimizations—specifically the selective use of the AITER runtime and specific KV cache configurations—are critical for maximizing throughput across diverse model families while maintaining high reliability under heavy concurrency.

AMB-DSGDN: Adaptive Modality-Balanced Dynamic Semantic Graph Differential Network for Multimodal Emotion Recognition

The paper proposes AMB-DSGDN, a novel network for multimodal emotion recognition that utilizes modality-specific semantic graphs with a differential attention mechanism to filter noise and an adaptive balancing strategy to prevent dominant modalities from suppressing complementary cues, thereby enhancing the accuracy of dynamic emotional state modeling.

Gated Adaptation for Continual Learning in Human Activity Recognition

This paper proposes a parameter-efficient continual learning framework for Human Activity Recognition that mitigates catastrophic forgetting in domain-incremental scenarios by employing channel-wise gated modulation to adapt frozen pretrained representations through bounded diagonal scaling, thereby achieving superior stability and plasticity with minimal parameter updates.

Toward Epistemic Stability: Engineering Consistent Procedures for Industrial LLM Hallucination Reduction

This paper presents and evaluates five prompt engineering strategies for reducing LLM hallucinations in industrial settings without modifying model weights, finding that an Enhanced Data Registry (M4) achieved perfect consistency in initial trials while a revised Decomposed Model-Agnostic Prompting (M2) showed the most significant improvement in subsequent verification.

Where Do Flow Semantics Reside? A Protocol-Native Tabular Pretraining Paradigm for Encrypted Traffic Classification

This paper addresses the failure of byte-sequence-based masked modeling in encrypted traffic classification by identifying a mismatch in inductive bias and proposing FlowSem-MAE, a protocol-native tabular masked autoencoder that leverages field-specific semantics and temporal patterns to significantly outperform existing methods with substantially less labeled data.

Multi-Agent Memory from a Computer Architecture Perspective: Visions and Challenges Ahead

This position paper reframes multi-agent memory as a computer architecture challenge by proposing a three-layer hierarchy and identifying critical protocol gaps, with a specific focus on resolving multi-agent memory consistency as the primary obstacle to building reliable and scalable collaborative systems.
