Understanding Behavioural Risk Signals in Socio-Technical Work Systems Using Explainable Machine Learning

This study demonstrates that using explainable machine learning to analyze item-level safety climate data reveals nonlinear, threshold-dependent behavioural risk patterns driven by management responsiveness, training, and experience, challenging traditional linear aggregation models and offering a more precise basis for proactive accident prevention.

Empty scaffold allocation bias in molecular distribution shift evaluation

This paper reveals that standard scaffold-based evaluation methods introduce a hidden allocation bias by incorrectly treating chemically heterogeneous "no-scaffold" molecules as a single unit, which distorts generalization metrics across common benchmarks, and proposes an "Empty-Scaffold-Aware" repair to restore balanced representation and accurate performance assessment.

Scale-Dependent Performance of YOLOv12 andYOLOv11 for Automated Blood Cell Detection: A Controlled Benchmark on BCCD

This study presents the first scale-by-scale benchmark of YOLOv11 and YOLOv12 variants on the BCCD dataset, revealing that while their overall mean performance is nearly identical, YOLOv12 excels at the nano scale for latency-critical applications whereas YOLOv11 outperforms it at medium and large scales, indicating that model selection should be driven by specific scale and recall requirements rather than a uniform assumption of superiority.
