Weak-topological neural operators for certificate-guided physical prediction

This paper introduces Weak-Topological Neural Operators (WTNO), a framework that enhances neural operator selection for partial differential equations by coupling state predictors with geometric, topological, and weak-measure certificates to ensure robust physical predictions in scenarios involving interfaces, topological changes, and rare events.

Dual-Guidance Framework for Semi-Supervised Semantic Segmentation via Uncertainty and Prototypes

This paper proposes a Dual-Guidance framework for semi-supervised semantic segmentation that combines an Uncertainty-Aware Dynamic Pseudo-Label Refinement module and a Class-Prototype Contrastive Guidance module to jointly refine predictions and regularize feature representations, achieving state-of-the-art performance on PASCAL VOC 2012 and Cityscapes benchmarks.

Trustworthy AI for Marketing Measurement: A Systematic Review of Attribution, Media Mix Modeling, and Privacy-Preserving Methods

This systematic review of 108 studies (2010–2026) analyzes how AI reshapes marketing measurement by proposing a "Measure–Validate–Protect" framework that balances the enhanced predictive power of deep learning and neural media mix models against the causal limitations and accuracy costs imposed by privacy-preserving techniques.
