Semantic Planning with Large Language Models and Vision-Language Models for Collaborative Robots: A Review

This survey reviews semantic planning for collaborative robots by formalizing the challenge as a constrained grounding problem, proposing a taxonomy of architectures that balance capability with inspectability, and outlining a roadmap for enhancing reliability through improved uncertainty estimation, plan verification, and recovery mechanisms.

A Phrase-Disjoint Fairness and Efficiency Study of a Multimodal Speech-Text Model for Medical Symptom Detection

This paper exposes the illusion of high accuracy in medical speech-text symptom detection caused by sentence memorization in standard dataset splits, and establishes a rigorous phrase-disjoint evaluation baseline using the Adaptive Gated Cross-Modal Fusion (AGCF) model to reveal honest performance metrics, per-class fairness risks, and the limited utility of sentiment features while demonstrating significant efficiency gains through LoRA.

The comparative evaluation of explanations for algorithmic programming problems provided by a Human vs. ChatGPT: an exploratory online user study

This exploratory study of 37 upper secondary students reveals that while participants could not significantly distinguish between human and ChatGPT-generated programming solutions, their acceptance of a 3D avatar tutor was unaffected by prior programming experience or avatar familiarity, highlighting both optimism for and skepticism about integrating generative AI into education.

Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning-Based Adaptive Denoising and Reversible Color Restoration Method for Complex Degraded Murals

This paper proposes a hierarchical reinforcement learning-based framework that decomposes mural restoration into coordinated high-level region selection and low-level adaptive operations, utilizing reversible feature constraints to effectively balance noise suppression, structural fidelity, and conservative color recovery in complex degraded murals.
