Tangent Subspace Boundary Attack: A Query-Efficient Decision-Based Black-BoxAdversarial Attack

This paper proposes the Tangent Subspace Boundary Attack (TSBA), a query-efficient decision-based black-box adversarial attack that improves upon existing methods by constraining perturbation updates within a low-dimensional tangent subspace of the decision boundary to stabilize the search process and significantly reduce query complexity while maintaining competitive distortion levels.

Spectral bias mitigation in physics-informed neural surrogates for nonlinear structural dynamics: Fourier feature encoding versus Kolmogorov-Arnold representations

This study demonstrates that while Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks (KANs) inherently mitigate spectral bias better than standard MLPs in nonlinear structural dynamics, the application of Fourier feature encoding is the dominant factor for accuracy, making Fourier-enhanced MLPs superior to both plain KANs and Fourier-enhanced KANs, which suffer performance degradation due to gradient oscillations incompatible with physics-informed optimization.

IRA: An Interpretable Hybrid Chatbot for Emotion-Aware Intent Classification with Generative Response Fallback

This paper introduces IRA, a hybrid conversational framework that combines an interpretable MLP intent classifier trained on a code-mixed corpus with a generative fallback mode to achieve high accuracy and transparency in emotion-aware dialogue for mental-health and support applications, noting that duplication-based oversampling does not introduce lexical variation.

Reasoning emerges from constrained inference manifolds in large language models

This paper proposes that effective reasoning in large language models emerges not merely from low-dimensional inference manifolds, but from a specific constrained structural regime balancing expressivity, compression, and information preservation, enabling a new label-free diagnostic framework based on internal geometric dynamics.

From Generation to Collaboration: Using LLMs to Edit for Empathy in Healthcare

This study demonstrates that using large language models as editorial assistants to refine physicians' written responses, rather than as autonomous generators, significantly enhances perceived empathy while preserving factual accuracy, supported by novel quantitative metrics for evaluating both emotional tone and medical precision.
