Goal-Aware Adaptive Regulation Across Modalities: Evolutionary Architecture Search for Transformer Language Models on a Consumer AMD GPU

This paper demonstrates that the GaaR evolutionary architecture search framework, originally validated on convolutional networks, successfully transfers to autoregressive transformer language models on a consumer AMD GPU via DirectML, achieving competitive performance and revealing that regulated exploitation outperforms random search on structured landscapes while favoring wide-shallow architectures under fixed step budgets.

NAE-VC: Neural Arithmetic Encoding as a Learned Replacement for CABAC in Modern Video Codecs

NAE-VC is a modular, learned entropy coding framework that replaces the standard CABAC engine in H.264, H.265, and H.266 codecs with a neural architecture combining context aggregation, Gaussian mixture modeling, and hyperpriors to achieve significant bitrate savings while maintaining full compatibility with existing video coding standards.

MUNNA: A Multi-strategy, Uncertainty-driven, Nested Neuro-ensemble Algorithm for Disease Diagnosis with Closed-loop Explainability Feedback

This paper introduces MUNNA, a novel three-stage hybrid framework that integrates a GWO-SA metaheuristic for feature selection, an uncertainty-weighted stacking ensemble, and a closed-loop SHAP feedback mechanism to achieve state-of-the-art disease diagnosis performance on the Breast Cancer Wisconsin dataset while addressing limitations in local optima stagnation and static ensemble weighting.

Towards Generalizable Face Forgery Detection via Multi-Granularity Fusion

To address the generalization gap in face forgery detection caused by the conflict between transferable high-level semantics and sparse local artifacts, this paper proposes SemFusion, a framework that combines Semantic Consistency Regularization to preserve CLIP's transferable structure with Multi-level Patch Evidence learning to effectively capture and fuse localized forgery cues.

An Agent-Based Concept Generation ApproachUsing Concept Bottleneck Models for ChestRadiograph Classification

This study demonstrates that clinically grounded concept construction enhances concept bottleneck models for chest radiograph classification, with supervised approaches achieving strong performance comparable to non-bottleneck baselines while label-free models offer a promising alternative when concept annotations are unavailable.
