TetraFence: Re-Auditable Mobile Field Evidence with Immutable Location Anchoring

TetraFence is a production pipeline for commodity smartphones that ensures re-auditable mobile field evidence by binding image acquisition to device context and anchoring raw data on a permissioned Ethereum ledger, achieving high classification agreement between off-chain and on-chain implementations while highlighting the necessity of version-binding to prevent retroactive misclassifications.

Reactive Replanning Using a Target-State-Driven Strategy for Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Systems under Counting LTL Constraints

This paper proposes TRRS, a target-state-driven reactive replanning strategy that utilizes a receding-horizon mixed-integer linear programming formulation to dynamically handle position shifts and priority updates in heterogeneous multi-robot systems under counting LTL constraints, demonstrating superior performance over static and greedy baselines through simulations and physical experiments.

When Synthetic Diffusion-Control Gains Fail to Transfer: Controlled and Observed-Cascade Evaluation of a Risk-Gated Graph-Attention Policy

This paper demonstrates that the SCFCE-R risk-gated policy, while effective in synthetic network simulations for containing harmful information, catastrophically fails to transfer to real-world Twitter rumor cascades without retraining, thereby proving that strong controlled-network performance does not guarantee deployment readiness.

TOMAgent: Budget-Aware Test Opportunity Modeling for Reliability-Oriented Multi-Agent Unit Test Generation

This paper introduces TOMAgent, a budget-aware multi-agent framework that optimizes unit test generation by modeling target selection as a marginal-utility problem, achieving a 40% fault-detection success rate on Defects4J benchmarks—significantly outperforming uniform and coverage-guided baselines—while maintaining competitive mutation scores and token efficiency.

Insulator Defect Detection Based on Multi-Scale Perception and Context-Guided Feature Aggregation

To address the challenges of scale variation, weak textures, and background similarity in UAV-based insulator defect detection, this paper proposes the Scale-Aware Context Aggregation Network (SACANet), which integrates scale-aware receptive-field aggregation, four-scale bidirectional feature refinement, and spatially aligned multi-scale prediction to achieve state-of-the-art performance on the FLOWID dataset.

Evidence aware multimodal auditing of museum image metadata consistency

This paper introduces an evidence-aware, provenance-controlled benchmark using 295 lacquerware objects from the National Palace Museum Taipei to audit the consistency of museum image metadata against visual evidence, revealing significant gaps in current automated and human evaluation capabilities and highlighting the necessity of explicitly modeling evidential sufficiency and field-specific uncertainty in future metadata-auditing systems.
