Privacy-Preserving Collaborative Medical Image Segmentation Using Latent Transform Networks

This paper introduces PPCMI-SF, a privacy-preserving collaborative framework that utilizes client-specific latent transforms and server-side mapping to achieve high-accuracy, real-time medical image segmentation across heterogeneous institutions while effectively resisting inversion and membership inference attacks without sharing raw data.

Digital-Twin Losses for Lane-Compliant Trajectory Prediction at Urban Intersections

This paper presents a digital twin-driven V2X trajectory prediction framework for urban intersections that employs a novel twin loss function alongside standard MSE to enforce traffic rules, collision avoidance, and motion diversity, thereby significantly reducing safety violations while maintaining high prediction accuracy and real-time performance.

Test-then-Punish: A Statistical Approach to Repeated Games

This paper proposes a "Test-then-Punish" framework that sustains cooperation in discounted infinitely repeated games with imperfect monitoring by embedding statistical hypothesis testing into strategic behavior, allowing players to detect deviations and enforce a Folk theorem-type result through either anytime valid sequential tests or batch-based testing.

RFM-HRI : A Multimodal Dataset of Medical Robot Failure, User Reaction and Recovery Preferences for Item Retrieval Tasks

This paper introduces the RFM-HRI dataset, a multimodal collection of human-robot interactions in medical crash-cart settings that systematically analyzes user verbal and non-verbal reactions to various communication failures and their preferences for recovery strategies to improve safety-critical HRI systems.

Pitfalls in VM Implementation on CHERI: Lessons from Porting CRuby

This paper identifies and categorizes the specific pitfalls encountered when porting virtual machines to the CHERI architecture, highlighting how common C language assumptions and VM implementation idioms conflict with CHERI's strict memory safety model, and proposes verified workarounds through a case study of porting CRuby.

Evaluating LLMs in the Context of a Functional Programming Course: A Comprehensive Study

This paper evaluates nine state-of-the-art Large Language Models on three new benchmarks (λ\lambdaCodeGen, λ\lambdaRepair, and λ\lambdaExplain) within an OCaml functional programming course, revealing that while top models effectively handle syntax/type corrections and conceptual questions, they solve significantly fewer homework problems in this low-resource language compared to high-resource languages like Python and Java.

From Risk Avoidance to User Empowerment: Reframing Safety in Generative AI for Mental Health Crises

This paper argues that current generative AI chatbots' risk-avoidant responses to mental health crises can harm users and proposes shifting toward empowerment-oriented design principles that enable AI to act as a supportive bridge for de-escalation and connection to professional care.

Keeping the Evidence Chain: Semantic Evidence Allocation for Training-Free Token Pruning in Video Temporal Grounding

The paper proposes SemVID, a training-free token pruning framework for Video Temporal Grounding that maintains high accuracy and efficiency by allocating token budgets based on query relevance and inter-frame variation while preserving critical evidence and cross-frame connectivity through the strategic selection of object, motion, and context tokens.
