CAMF-Zero: Contradiction-Aware Reasoning for Zero-Day Threat Detection in Federated Multi-Cloud Environments

This paper proposes CAMF-Zero, a contradiction-aware reasoning framework that leverages a novel Consistency-Aware Contradiction Score (CACS) to detect zero-day threats in federated multi-cloud environments by explicitly evaluating semantic disagreements across heterogeneous telemetry sources, thereby significantly improving detection recall and reducing false positives compared to existing methods.

Building a clinical and academic health research network using data science and artificial intelligence

This study demonstrates that using data science and artificial intelligence to systematically analyze publication metadata and construct graph-based models is a scalable, efficient, and unbiased alternative to manual methods for building clinical and academic health research networks focused on alcohol, addiction, and mental health in Northern England.

Diffusion-Augmented State-Space Learning for Pericardial Effusion Segmentation in Echocardiography: A Multicenter Model-Development Study with External Image-Source Evaluation

This multicenter study presents a novel framework combining a Gabor-prior-guided diffusion model for synthetic data augmentation and a state-space-based segmentation network, which collectively improved pericardial effusion delineation accuracy and demonstrated robust generalizability across internal and external echocardiographic datasets.
