An ontology and source-attributed knowledge graph for the computational heritage of Chinese mantic arts: Qimen Dunjia and Meihua Yishu

This paper presents a source-attributed ontology and knowledge graph framework that systematically digitizes and validates the contested procedural rules of Chinese mantic arts (Qimen Dunjia and Meihua Yishu) by establishing a provenance-driven verification system to preserve the auditable documentary layer of this intangible heritage.

Auditing Frozen Time-Series Foundation Models Under Informative Context Missingness

This paper presents a pre-registered audit revealing that while mechanism-balanced adaptation is less harmful than average-risk adaptation for frozen time-series foundation models under informative missingness, all learned adaptation objectives perform significantly worse than simply leaving the models unadapted, rendering comparisons between adaptation strategies uninterpretable without an explicit no-adaptation anchor.

Vendor-Aware Three-Dimensional Missing-Tooth Localization in Partially Annotated Multi-Vendor Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: A Leakage-Controlled Evaluation of Semi-Supervision

This study evaluates semi-supervised and vendor-adversarial learning strategies for 3D missing-tooth localization in multi-vendor CBCT scans, finding that while vendor-adversarial training achieved the best locked test performance, semi-supervised approaches did not demonstrate significant superiority over pure supervision.

Information-supported granularity: an information-theoretic framework for bandwidth-adaptive edge perception

This paper proposes an information-supported granularity (ISG) framework that dynamically adapts semantic classification resolution to fluctuating wireless bandwidth by deriving theoretical limits via information theory and implementing a real-time, parameter-free deep learning system that ensures reliable edge perception through graceful degradation.
