When Generative AI Writes Test Cases: Scenario-Driven Evaluation of Generated Tests

This paper introduces a scenario-driven evaluation methodology to compare GenAI-generated test suites against human-written ones, revealing that while direct prompts recover more expected behaviors, ideate-then-implement strategies yield more efficient suites with fewer duplicates, and ideate-only approaches effectively uncover additional test scenarios.

Quantum LEGO Learning: A Modular Design Principle for Hybrid Artificial Intelligence

This paper introduces "Quantum LEGO Learning," a modular hybrid AI framework that decouples a frozen classical feature extractor from a trainable variational quantum circuit to achieve stable optimization, noise resilience, and improved performance on NISQ hardware by separating representation learning from adaptive adaptation.

Attention-guided local dynamic alignment: Boosting zero-shot classification of vision-language models

This paper proposes Attention-guided Local Dynamic Alignment (ALDA), a training-free method that enhances zero-shot vision-language classification by employing attention-driven adaptive multi-scale sampling to reduce background noise and bidirectional iterative propagation on a region-description bipartite graph to model mutual semantic correlations, thereby achieving significant accuracy improvements across diverse benchmarks.
