Joint estimation of multiple cardiovascular parameters from blood pressure waveforms using multi-task learning

This paper proposes a multi-task learning framework featuring a novel residual neural dimension reductor with temporal and channel attention (RNDR-TCA) to jointly estimate multiple cardiovascular parameters from blood pressure waveforms, effectively mitigating negative transfer and outperforming existing single-task and multi-task models in accuracy and robustness.

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Stochastic OSAT Dispatching: A Matched Architecture Benchmark

This paper benchmarks four multi-agent reinforcement learning architectures against traditional dispatching rules in a stochastic OSAT environment, demonstrating that while learned policies significantly improve throughput, flow time, energy efficiency, and OEE compared to FIFO, they do not uniformly outperform the SPT rule, thereby establishing a reproducible framework for evaluating short-horizon dispatching performance.

How Portable Are LLM-Serving Scheduler Rankings Across Workloads, Operating Regions, and Metrics?

This paper introduces the LLM-Serving Scheduler Portability Benchmark (LSSP) to demonstrate that while scheduling policy rankings show strong agreement across some workload sources, they exhibit significant variability and limited portability across different operating regions and evaluation metrics, necessitating that scheduler comparisons be interpreted as conditional on their specific experimental context.

Adapting a small language model for plant protection information in Türkiye

This study evaluates BitkiKormacı, a Turkish small language model system for plant protection, demonstrating that while retrieval-augmented generation significantly improves performance on specific development benchmarks, the system still exhibits critical failures in safety and resistance tasks, underscoring the necessity for rigorous independent expert review before practical deployment.

Agency as an Architecture Layer: A Formal Enterprise Architecture Framework for Agentic-AI-Driven Enterprises

This paper introduces the Agentic Enterprise Architecture Framework (AEAF), a formal extension to traditional enterprise architecture metamodels that incorporates a dedicated agency layer with stratified Datalog semantics to systematically model, analyze, and govern non-human AI agents by defining their authority, accountability, and coordination constraints within the enterprise structure.
