Auditing and mitigating high-confidence false relation edges in LLM-assisted scientometric extraction

This paper proposes and evaluates a perturbation-based audit and mitigation framework that demonstrates how entity noise increases high-confidence false relation risks in LLM-generated scientometric graphs, revealing that entity- and evidence-aware abstention strategies effectively outperform simple confidence filtering in preserving graph integrity.

Predicting Medication Adherence Among Chronic Disease Patients in Ghana Using Explainable Machine Learning: A Retrospective EMR-Based Study

This study developed and validated an explainable, context-aware machine learning framework using electronic medical record data from a Ghanaian hospital that successfully predicts medication adherence among chronic disease patients with high accuracy (89.5%) and identified a compact, resource-efficient feature set suitable for deployment in low-resource health systems.

Partial Multi-Label Learning via Structure-Regularized Negative-Label Completion

This paper proposes Instance-Aware Partial Negative Completion (IPNC), a structure-regularized framework that learns bounded soft negative targets by coupling a multi-output predictor with feature and score-based graph structures to effectively handle ambiguous candidate labels in partial multi-label learning, achieving superior empirical performance across diverse datasets.

Neighborhood Convergence of Linearized Gossip ADMM for Heterogeneous Nonconvex Multi-Agent Optimization

This paper proposes the Heterogeneity-Adaptive Asynchronous ADMM (HA-ADMM) algorithm, which utilizes ρ\rho-weighted push-sum mixing and adaptive penalty updates to achieve near-stationarity in heterogeneous nonconvex multi-agent optimization by explicitly characterizing and mitigating the effects of gradient dissimilarity, Lipschitz spread, and communication delays.

Resolving an Apparent Key-Dependent Timing Side-Channel in Bouncy Castle ML-DSA-65 Signing: A Pre-Registered Discrimination

This paper demonstrates that an apparent key-dependent timing side-channel in Bouncy Castle's ML-DSA-65 implementation is actually a statistical artifact of natural rejection-sampling variation, which vanishes when timing is analyzed within a pre-registered protocol that conditions on the exact number of iterations performed, thereby confirming the implementation's security across all standardized parameter sets.

Large Language Model Driven Multidisciplinary Optimization for Task Automation in Edge IoT Systems

This paper proposes a hierarchical framework that leverages a compact large language model for semantic task planning and decomposition while delegating resource allocation and execution decisions to a constrained optimization layer, thereby bridging natural-language specifications with mathematically rigorous multidisciplinary optimization for Edge IoT systems.
