Detecting ovarian endometriomas from ultrasound using vision transformers and cross-modality transfer learning

This paper presents a pioneering machine learning model that detects ovarian endometriomas from ultrasound images using vision transformers and cross-modality transfer learning, achieving high performance despite data scarcity and imbalance while demonstrating the transferability of low-level features across medical imaging modalities.

Human–AI collaboration in deductive coding of classroom dialogue: prompt engineering and collaboration patterns

This study employs design-based research to demonstrate that a customised GPT coding assistant, when integrated with structured prompts and a collaborative human-first workflow, effectively supports deductive coding of classroom dialogue while highlighting that successful human–AI collaboration depends on the dynamic interplay between prompt architecture, workflow sequencing, and the researcher's stance toward AI.

When Does Context Help Machine Vision? Decomposing the Risk and Reliability of Contextual Conditioning in Vision-Language Models

This paper systematically analyzes contextual conditioning in vision-language models across diverse architectures and datasets, revealing that while domain-level prompting is consistently beneficial, full per-image contextual conditioning carries high variance and overfitting risks, with its utility primarily driven by model scale and baseline accuracy.

Mining AI-Assisted Course Design Workflows at Production Scale

This paper presents the first production-scale study of AI-assisted course design by mining a privacy-preserving dataset from CourseFactory to extract four workflow surfaces, demonstrating that structural-quality triage and item-to-assignment routing models significantly improve review efficiency and accuracy while confirming that withheld prompt text adds no measurable signal.

Recovery Dynamics and Persistent Structural Excursion in Disrupted World Models

This study demonstrates that while successful and failed trajectories in a disrupted world model exhibit distinct recovery dynamics—such as lower path entropy and fewer structural excursions—these full-trajectory patterns cannot be reliably predicted from early prefixes, thereby distinguishing the challenges of regime detection, recovery monitoring, and individual rollout prediction.

H. Dilpriya's Momentum (HDM) : A Multi-Strategy Gradient-Aligned Optimizer with Adaptive Per-Parameter Corrections, Cosine-Annealed Scheduling, and Convergence Guarantees for Deep Neural Networks

This paper introduces H. Dilpriya's Momentum (HDM), a novel multi-strategy optimizer that combines adaptive per-parameter corrections with cosine-annealed scheduling to achieve rigorous convergence guarantees and state-of-the-art gradient alignment, demonstrating superior performance on both ill-conditioned synthetic problems and deep learning benchmarks like MNIST and CIFAR-10.
