Inside-JEPA: From Prediction to Relational Grounding in Latent World Models

Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) learn world models in latent space, enabling efficient planning but leaving their states opaque. We introduce Inside-JEPA, which places relational channels for ordered entity pairs inside the JEPA latent state and shows that an inverse-dynamics loss can ground these chan...

Towards Field-Deployable Wearable IMU Systems for Occupational Activity Recognition

Wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU) systems for construction worker human activity recognition (HAR) routinely report aggregate accuracies above 95 %, rarely under genuine subject-independent (leave-one-subject-out (LOSO)) evaluation, masking the per-individual variance that determines real-world deployment perfor...

PriMa-Causa: Causal Prescriptive Maintenance

Automated manufacturing requires data-driven decisions under uncertainty and sparse observational records, and unplanned downtime is a dominant cost of getting them wrong. Prescriptive maintenance recommends a maintenance action against an impending failure rather than merely predicting it. Established reference archit...

Is High Local Accuracy Enough? Geometric Consensus with Support-Adaptive Statistical Personalization for Federated Learning

Real-world deployment of personalized federated learning (PFL) requires adapting to heterogeneous clients while preserving recognition performance beyond local distributions. However, high local accuracy can conceal failures on locally rare or absent classes. Effective personalization should therefore strengthen global...

What Comes Next and Why: Interpretable Next-Event Prediction with Neuro-Symbolic Rules

In real-world applications, being able to explain why a prediction is made is often as important - if not more so - than achieving high accuracy. However, existing methods for sequential event prediction typically prioritize accuracy at the expense of interpretability. Neuro-symbolic approaches offer a promising direct...

Transformers with CoT Discover Heavy-Ball Acceleration Through Training

Modern transformers often solve complex tasks by generating and refining intermediate reasoning steps. To develop a theoretical understanding of chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, a notable recent study by Huang et al. (2025) viewed transformers as algorithm executors, and showed that when transformers' CoT steps are su...

nnInteractive Agent: General-Purpose AI Agents as 3D Image Annotators

Interactive 3D segmentation models such as nnInteractive turn a few spatial prompts (points, scribbles, boxes) into accurate volumetric masks, but a human still does the annotation work: finding each structure, placing prompts, checking the result and correcting it. General-purpose AI agents can now interpret images, c...

When Forgotten Facts Return: Relearning-Aware Unlearning of Knowledge Graph Embeddings via Tangent Kernels

Approximate unlearning answers a deletion request on a knowledge-graph embedding by editing entity embeddings instead of retraining from scratch. These embeddings keep being updated as new facts arrive. Under this ordinary continued training, forgotten facts recover more than in the exact-unlearning baseline, a model r...

Federated Differentially Private Optimization via Low-Rank Preconditioning

A federated DP-PCA framework is proposed that achieves linear communication cost while providing central DP guarantees under secure aggregation and gives error bounds for this covariance estimate and for the resulting low-communication preconditioned DP gradient descent.

XALIGN: A Human-centric Visual Analytics Approach to Understanding AI Explanations

Explainable AI (XAI) methods are usually evaluated for technical properties such as faithfulness and robustness. In high-stakes application domains, experts also need to check model predictions against established knowledge. Different explanation methods often disagree, and this disagreement is hard to see when each me...

EEG-Captioner: Grounding EEG-to-Language Generation in Fundamental Signal Properties

Electroencephalography (EEG)-to-language models offer a promising approach for translating complex neural signals into human-readable descriptions. However, generating plausible language does not necessarily demonstrate that a model has learned to interpret the underlying EEG signal. A direct way to assess such interpr...

Energy and Latency First: How Deployment Constraints Reverse Time-Series Model Selection

AI models, and time-series models in particular are typically ranked by accuracy and deployed under constraints absent from that ranking. In this paper, we study a real setting where these constraints are explicit and measurable: handover pre- diction in cellular networks, where inference runs on the User Equipment onc...
