LLM-Driven Data Augmentation and Fine-Tuned Transformers vs. Few-Shot LLMs for Arabic Propaganda Technique Detection

This paper presents a comprehensive pipeline for Arabic propaganda detection that demonstrates how GPT-4.1-driven few-shot data augmentation significantly outperforms traditional methods, enabling a fine-tuned BERT model to achieve state-of-the-art results (F1-Micro=0.66) that surpass both previous benchmarks and few-shot LLM approaches, while revealing that linguistic features are detrimental and data augmentation is the critical success factor in this low-resource, imbalanced setting.

CandidateFusion-MKAN: A Unified Framework for Robust Multimodal Crisis Classification across Diverse Supervision and Evidence Conditions

CandidateFusion-MKAN is a unified framework that achieves robust single-output multimodal crisis classification by integrating modality-supported candidate-set learning, candidate-set likelihood, and bounded adaptive soft targets to effectively handle diverse supervision, missing or degraded evidence, and conflicting or complementary cues.

Geometry-aware LegONet for PDE Learning on Arbitrary Domains

This paper introduces Geometry-aware LegONet (gLegONet), a modular operator learning framework that decouples physical mechanisms from specific geometries by pretraining variational blocks on an ambient spectral domain and adapting them to arbitrary target domains through boundary-defined affine manifolds, thereby enabling reusable PDE solving and law discovery without geometry-specific retraining.

Non-invasive lactate threshold estimation using deep learning: practical applications across endurance sports

This study demonstrates that a deep learning model can accurately estimate heart rate at the 2 mmol·L⁻¹ lactate threshold across running, cycling, rowing, and kayaking, outperforming traditional methods within specific sports but requiring sport-specific validation due to reduced generalization accuracy across different disciplines.
