StrokeID-NER : A Stroke Named Entity Recognition Dataset for Indonesian Patient- Generated Health Queries

This paper introduces StrokeID-NER, a publicly available Indonesian dataset of 1,742 patient-generated health queries annotated for stroke-related named entities, which was used to demonstrate that fine-tuned transformer models significantly outperform zero-shot baselines in recognizing informal and regional medical terminology, while highlighting that future performance gains depend primarily on expanding lexical coverage rather than model architecture.

Conditional Diffusion-Based Data Augmentation for Imbalanced Multi-Mode Fault Diagnosis in Predictive Maintenance

This paper demonstrates that class-conditional denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs) effectively mitigate severe class imbalance in predictive maintenance by synthesizing high-fidelity minority-class samples, significantly outperforming traditional augmentation methods like SMOTE and GANs in detecting rare industrial failures.

Causal Retrieval-Augmented Generation: ModifyingFake Correlations in AI-Driven Knowledge Systems through Algorithmic Nudging

This paper introduces Causal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (CR-RAG), a framework that models the RAG pipeline as a Structural Causal Model to mitigate spurious correlations and reduce hallucinations through backdoor adjustment, inverse-propensity reweighting, and counterfactual data augmentation, achieving significant performance gains on knowledge-intensive benchmarks, particularly for long-tail questions.
