Frequency-Guided Real-Time Detection of Weak Water-Surface Targetsfor Unmanned Surface Vehicles

This paper proposes a lightweight, real-time detector for unmanned surface vehicles that enhances weak water-surface target detection by integrating frequency-guided feature routing and scale-normalized adaptive localization supervision to address challenges like low contrast and small object size while maintaining strict latency and model-size constraints.

Multidimensional Exploration of Influencing Factors of College Students' Academic Performance: An Empirical Study Based on 18 Machine Learning Algorithms

This empirical study analyzes data from 145 UCI students using 18 machine learning algorithms to identify that the LightGBM model most accurately predicts academic performance, revealing that personal and school education factors (such as gender, age, part-time work, and class listening) are the primary drivers of success while family factors have a weaker impact, thereby enabling the development of an interpretable Shiny application for personalized academic interventions.

AI-Driven Collective Adaptation Testbed: A Multi-Agent Architecture Grounded in Dual-Inheritance Theory

This paper introduces the Collective Adaptation Testbed (CAT), a multi-agent software architecture grounded in Dual-Inheritance Theory that resolves the governance paradox of quantitative metrics by intercepting team decisions to distinguish between blind conformity and expertise-driven dissent, thereby enabling the system to autonomously revise its own rules based on retrospective outcome data.
