Minerals in the Wild: A Hyperspectral-XRF Dataset for Elemental Composition Estimation

Rapid mineral characterization is essential for applications ranging from mineral exploration to industrial ore processing. To this end, Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) has emerged as a promising sensing modality thanks to its fine spectral resolution, enabling mineral discrimination in both close-range and remote sensing settings. However, the scarcity of publicly available datasets with reliable ground-truth labels hinders the development and evaluation of HSI-based mineral identification methods. We release Minerals in the Wild, a multi-purpose dataset comprising 1,132 rock specimens collected across Europe. For each specimen, we provide an HSI acquisition together with an elemental characterization obtained via an XRF sensor. We define the task of elemental characterization on our dataset and propose a pruning mechanism that removes distant signatures from the USGS dictionary prior to a convex optimization approach for matching HSI pixels with USGS spectral signatures. Finally, we empirically show that our approach outperforms simpler baselines.

Two Centuries of Sexism in British Parliament: A Computational Analysis of Women's Representation in the Hansard Corpus

This work analyzes 6,531 speeches over 200 years of UK parliamentary debate by using large language models to classify a speaker's perspective towards women's suffrage and political representation, as well as analyse sexist speech in parliament from the lens of the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory.

VisER: Visual Evidence and Reliance for Object Hallucination Detection in LVLMs

VisER is proposed, a training-free two-sided metric for object-level hallucination detection that improves AUROC and AUPR over a range of baselines and measures whether object-context compatibility is backed by object-specific evidence from image tokens.

End-to-End Neural Shrinkage of Indefinite Pairwise Correlation Matrices for Small-Cap-Inclusive Portfolios

Improvements are consistent across realized risk, risk-adjusted performance, and drawdown control, remain after the modeled execution frictions, and are supported by a 99.9\% Model Confidence Set that retains only the neural estimator.

Event-Driven Language Models with Sparse Neural Activity for Neuromorphic Hardware

This work introduces a method that induces sparse neural activity in heavily quantized linear-attention models with minimal performance loss, and positions sparse, quantized linear-attention models as a natural fit for deploying LLMs on event-driven multi-core platforms.

Generalization as a robust performance property of learning-enabled dynamical systems

This work provides a system-theoretic interpretation of generalization in learning-enabled dynamical systems arising in data-driven optimization and feedback control approximation, and establishes a matrix inequality-based certificate and a uniform stability bound that separates the one-sample sensitivity of the learned operator, and an algorithm-dependent dynamical gain.

Lies We Can See: Joint Verbal and Non-Verbal Deception by VLM Agents in Embodied Social Interactions

MineAmongUs is introduced, a 3D multimodal Among Us sandbox where imposter agents must deceive crewmates through joint verbal and non-verbal action, and ARIA is proposed, a configurable VLM-agent harness that exposes five cognitive-component ablation axes and opens a new path for embodied VLM-agent alignment research.

Benchmarking External Generalization of SPD Matrix Learning for Resting-State fMRI Connectome Prediction

A reproducible age-prediction benchmark across six rs-fMRI datasets is introduced and provides common inputs, model settings, data splits, and analysis scripts so that future SPD matrix learning methods can be evaluated under the same external-validation protocol.

Adaptive AI Agents in Construction Workflows

Adaptive AI agents can help make BIM data more machine-readable by navigating IFC models, interpreting inconsistent information, and mapping it to defined standards. In this blog, Alok Rawat shares findings from a real-world pilot in construction workflows. The post Adaptive AI Agents in Construction Workflows appeared first on GPT-Lab.
