Uncertainty-Guided Belief World Models for Long-Horizon UAV Navigation under Partial Observability and Visual Degradation

This paper proposes the Uncertainty-Guided Belief World Model (UG-BWM), a framework that leverages posterior covariance and ensemble-based predictive uncertainty to guide belief updates and trigger selective replanning, thereby significantly improving long-horizon UAV navigation success and reducing collision rates under partial observability and visual degradation compared to state-of-the-art baselines.

Speaking as the Creature: A Rejection-and-Role-Shift Protocol and the Register of LLM Responses in 18 Conversations With Three Models

This study documents a protocol where language models, after having their solutions rejected as disguised optimization, consistently shift their response register when assigned a non-solving role across 18 sessions with three different models, while also retracting previously uncorroborated statistics from an earlier draft.

Adding a Neutral Third Agent to LLM Deliberation: An Exploratory Case Series of Six Dyadic and Triadic Ethical Deliberations

This exploratory case series investigates how adding a neutral facilitator agent to dyadic LLM deliberations on ethical dilemmas influences pressure intensity and resistance strategies, ultimately providing a transparent, fully archived dataset and a design vocabulary for future confirmatory research despite the study's inherent limitations in establishing causal claims.

A Computational Intelligence Framework for Data-Driven Shape Optimization Using GRA and GA-BPNN

This paper proposes a data-driven computational intelligence framework that integrates Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) for key parameter selection and a Genetic Algorithm-optimized Backpropagation Neural Network (GA-BPNN) to achieve high-precision, multi-objective shape optimization for purple clay teapots, effectively overcoming the limitations of traditional methods in nonlinear mapping and convergence.

Synthetic tabular healthcare data in health informatics: fixed-size substitution and incremental-value controls for predictive utility Application Paper

This study finds no systematic predictive-utility benefit from synthetic tabular healthcare data under the evaluated conditions. Rigorous comparisons controlling for training-set size and partition leakage showed predominantly lower model performance than real-only or bootstrap-real controls, alongside a few context-specific improvements.

Bridging the QC–QA Cognitive Handoff: An Agentic Verification Harness for Error Detection, Specification Cross-Checking and Quality Documentation Assembly in Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance

This paper proposes and preliminarily evaluates an agentic verification harness for pharmaceutical quality assurance that combines large language models for proposal, deterministic code for calculation, and human oversight for decision-making, demonstrating a pooled sensitivity of 84.1% in detecting injected discrepancies across three simulated dossiers while emphasizing the need for further validation before claiming practical benefits.
