Navigating the Prompt Space: Improving LLM Classification of Social Science Texts Through Prompt Engineering

This paper demonstrates that while systematically varying prompt engineering elements like label descriptions, instructional nudges, and few-shot examples can significantly improve LLM classification accuracy for social science texts, performance gains are often marginal beyond minimal context increases, can sometimes decline with excessive context, and vary substantially across models and tasks, necessitating individual validation rather than reliance on general rules.

An Intelligent YOLO26-Based Early Warning Framework for Drone Detection in Critical Infrastructure Surveillance

This paper proposes an intelligent, real-time drone detection and early warning framework for critical infrastructure surveillance using the YOLO26 deep learning model, which is trained on a custom multi-scenario database and evaluated against baseline models to demonstrate superior accuracy and speed in identifying small, distant, and challenging drone targets.

A Graded Autonomy Framework for Governing Agentic AI in Health Care

This paper proposes a graded-autonomy framework, adapted from the automotive J3016 standard, to govern agentic AI in healthcare by classifying systems across three domains and six levels to separate capability from authorization, thereby addressing safety gaps in current evaluation metrics through a worked example of autonomous sepsis management.

Adaptive-Hazard Bayesian Online Change-Point Detection for Text Streams: A Dirichlet-Multinomial Formulation

This paper proposes an adaptive-hazard Bayesian online change-point detection method for text streams that dynamically adjusts reset probabilities based on lexical distribution drift via a Dirichlet-multinomial formulation, demonstrating improved detection performance and reduced delay particularly in scenarios involving gradual or weak lexical changes.

Temporal Multi-Signal Fusion for Token-Level Hallucination Detection

This paper proposes a temporal multi-signal fusion approach that treats hallucination as a sequence-labeling problem using a BiGRU to combine text statistics, NLI entailment, and language model surprisal, achieving a significant AUC improvement of 0.840 on RAGTruth by leveraging temporal context rather than model capacity, while maintaining effectiveness on closed-source and unseen models.
