Nonparametric domain adaptation for multimodal connoisseurship of Buddhist statuary across dynasties (ChronoStyleNet2.0)

ChronoStyleNet 2.0 is a nonparametric, multimodal system designed to assist specialists in documenting, dating, and interpreting Buddhist statuary across Chinese dynasties by leveraging structured prompting and retrieval-augmented generation, demonstrating strong performance in stylistic analysis and dating while serving as a traceable aid rather than a replacement for expert judgment.

Quantum Key Search Algorithms under Side-channel Attack

This paper proposes an improved quantum key search algorithm that leverages side-channel attack-induced error distributions to achieve a super-quadratic speedup over classical methods and outperforms existing quantum approaches like Glaser's, while also addressing input state preparation challenges through efficient Dicke state implementation.

Conditional Generation of Overlapping Mixed-type Wafer Bin Map Defects via Feature-wise Linear Modulation

This paper proposes the Wafer Conditional Generative Network (WCGN), a framework integrating Feature-wise Linear Modulation into a U-Net architecture to generate interpretable, pixel-level masks for overlapping mixed-type wafer bin map defects, thereby outperforming state-of-the-art methods in segmentation accuracy and supporting engineer-in-the-loop diagnosis in semiconductor manufacturing.

Action-masked deep Q-learning for optimizing full-length and short-turn urban rail services

This paper proposes an action-masked deep Q-learning framework to optimize urban rail services by dynamically selecting between full-length and short-turn patterns, which significantly reduces passenger waiting times and increases service capacity compared to traditional fixed or threshold-based policies while ensuring operational feasibility.

Reliability-Aware Sensor Fusion via Bidirectional Diffusion for Robust Robot Odometry

This paper presents PUD–DIKF, a reliability-aware LiDAR–RGB-D–IMU odometry system that utilizes a Prediction Uncertainty Tensor derived from bidirectional diffusion to dynamically adapt Kalman filter covariances, thereby preventing degraded measurements from dominating state updates and achieving superior trajectory accuracy on multiple benchmarks.
