ScintiGround-38K: A Grounded Visual Question Answering Benchmark for Paired Anterior–Posterior Bone Scintigraphy

The paper introduces ScintiGround-38K, a large-scale, provenance-preserving benchmark for grounded visual question answering on paired anterior-posterior bone scintigraphy images, which reveals that while models achieve high raw answer accuracy, they struggle significantly with minority-class detection and strict evidence-based localization.

The Fractional Spectrum: A Unified Adaptive Framework for Image Enhancement via Generalized Derivatives and Multi-Directional Fusion

This paper introduces a unified adaptive framework for image enhancement that generalizes integer-order operators like Sobel and Laplacian into a continuous Grünwald-Letnikov fractional-order spectrum, featuring multi-directional fusion, complex-order phase selectivity, and an AlphaNet-driven adaptive order mechanism to achieve superior texture preservation and noise control across diverse domains.

Beyond Severity Scores: A Conceptual Framework for Quantifying Cybersecurity Risk in Artificial Intelligence Systems

This paper proposes a conceptual framework for quantifying cybersecurity risk in AI systems by introducing five critical dimensions—Attack Surface, Model Exploitability, Data Integrity, Regulatory Exposure, and Control Maturity—to address the limitations of existing IT-focused tools and establish a shared vocabulary for translating AI-specific threats into organizational decisions.

Routing by Hurst: Matching Decomposed Modes to Inductive Biases for Time-Series Learning

The paper proposes HRMN, a novel time-series learning framework that mimics the primate cortex's hierarchical processing by decomposing signals into intrinsic modes via EEMD, routing transient and persistent components to specialized TCN and Transformer branches based on their Hurst exponents, and achieving state-of-the-art performance across classification, regression, and anomaly detection tasks with significantly fewer parameters than existing models.
