Temporal Dynamics and Explainable Risk Factors of Traffic Fatalities: A Large-Scale Study Using PRF Brazil Data (2020-2024)

This study utilizes a large-scale dataset from the Brazilian Federal Highway Police (2020–2024) to demonstrate that a cost-sensitive LightGBM model, validated through rigorous temporal splitting and SHAP-based interpretability, outperforms other ensemble methods in predicting traffic fatalities while identifying key risk factors to inform proactive safety policies.

Does Fallback-Anchored Uncertainty Gating Help Off-Policy Reinforcement Learning? A Short Study Combining DCUG-Style Gating with TD3

This study demonstrates that applying a fallback-anchored uncertainty gating mechanism, which previously stabilized on-policy PPO training, provides no statistical benefit to off-policy TD3, indicating that the mechanism's value is specific to correcting on-policy training collapse rather than serving as a general robustness booster.

Target Relocalization-Driven Weakly Supervised Segmentation for Crohn's Disease via Auxiliary Anatomical Priors

This paper proposes a weakly supervised segmentation method for Crohn's disease that leverages image-level annotations enhanced by an auxiliary anatomical prior dataset and a target re-localization mechanism to generate high-quality pseudo-labels, thereby reducing annotation costs while significantly improving lesion segmentation accuracy.

A Neurosymbolic Multiagent Framework for Culturally Responsive Personalised Explainable and Fair AI Tutoring

This conceptual paper introduces KAIROS, a neurosymbolic multi-agent framework that ensures culturally responsive, fair, and explainable AI tutoring by formally decoupling pedagogical decisions from cultural presentation within a constrained decision-making process, while specifying a rigorous evaluation protocol to validate its theoretical guarantees without presenting empirical results.
