Leakage-Resistant Evaluation of Calibrated Multimodal Driver Drowsiness Detection Across Drivers and Routes

This study demonstrates that rigorous leakage-resistant protocols, particularly route-held-out validation, are essential for credible driver drowsiness detection, revealing that while pooled histogram-based gradient boosting achieves high performance under standard splits, it suffers a significant route-transfer penalty and that complex modality fusion does not outperform simpler pooled models.

Pixel-Translation-Equivariant Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks via Fourier Multiplexers

This paper introduces Pixel-Translation-Equivariant Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (PCS-QCNNs) that resolve the mismatch between image encoding symmetries and standard qubit permutations by constructing Fourier-multiplexed layers that exactly commute with pixel cyclic shifts, demonstrating superior performance over non-equivariant quantum controls on translated MNIST benchmarks while highlighting critical train-deploy mismatches arising from finite-shot sampling costs.

SPS-LIME: Role-Aware Segment Perturbation for Explaining Long Legal Documents

This paper introduces SPS-LIME, a model-agnostic explanation framework that enhances the interpretability of legal text classifiers by perturbing variable-length, rhetorically coherent segments rather than individual tokens or sentences, thereby achieving superior consistency and comprehensiveness while revealing potential mismatches between classifier sensitivity and explicit legal reasoning.

Spatial Non-Stationarity and Wealth Accumulation: Multiscale Regression of Locational Endowments in a Heterogeneous Metropolitan County

This study introduces a hybrid GeoAI and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis framework that utilizes unsupervised machine learning to identify legally and environmentally viable data center sites within the Guadalupe River Basin, effectively resolving water-energy conflicts by replacing subjective expert weighting with empirically derived criteria to guide infrastructure away from the sensitive Edwards Aquifer recharge zone.

Whose Art Counts? Model- and Prompt-Dependent Associations in Vision-Language Judgments of Museum Art

This paper introduces an archive-conditioned audit protocol to evaluate how vision-language models and prompt structures interact with museum metadata when assessing artistic value, demonstrating through a Metropolitan Museum of Art case study that "influence" prompts yield the most consistent category-based differences while highlighting the limitations of cross-model and cross-prompt generalization.
