A Survey of Link Prediction in Temporal Networks
Venue: arXiv cs.AI 2025
Year: 2025

Temporal networks have gained significant prominence in the past decade for modelling dynamic interactions within complex systems. A key challenge in this domain is Temporal Link Prediction (TLP), which aims to forecast future connections by analysing historical network structures across various applications including social network analysis. While existing surveys have addressed specific aspects of TLP, they typically lack a comprehensive framework that distinguishes between representation and inference methods. This survey bridges this gap by introducing a novel taxonomy that explicitly examines representation and inference from existing methods, providing a novel classification of approaches for TLP. We analyse how different representation techniques capture temporal and structural dynamics, examining their compatibility with various inference methods for both transductive and inductive prediction tasks. Our taxonomy not only clarifies the methodological landscape but also reveals promising unexplored combinations of existing techniques. This taxonomy provides a systematic foundation for emerging challenges in TLP, including model explainability and scalable architectures for complex temporal networks.
ReConForM : Real-time Contact-aware Motion Retargeting for more Diverse Character Morphologies
Venue: arXiv cs.GR 2025
Year: 2025

Preserving semantics, in particular in terms of contacts, is a key challenge when retargeting motion between characters of different morphologies. Our solution relies on a low-dimensional embedding of the character's mesh, based on rigged key vertices that are automatically transferred from the source to the target. Motion descriptors are extracted from the trajectories of these key vertices, providing an embedding that contains combined semantic information about both shape and pose. A novel, adaptive algorithm is then used to automatically select and weight the most relevant features over time, enabling us to efficiently optimize the target motion until it conforms to these constraints, so as to preserve the semantics of the source motion. Our solution allows extensions to several novel use-cases where morphology and mesh contacts were previously overlooked, such as multi-character retargeting and motion transfer on uneven terrains. As our results show, our method is able to achieve real-time retargeting onto a wide variety of characters. Extensive experiments and comparison with state-of-the-art methods using several relevant metrics demonstrate improved results, both in terms of motion smoothness and contact accuracy.
Semantic Volume: Quantifying and Detecting both External and Internal Uncertainty in LLMs
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across diverse tasks by encoding vast amounts of factual knowledge. However, they are still prone to hallucinations, generating incorrect or misleading information, often accompanied by high uncertainty. Existing methods for hallucination detection primarily focus on quantifying internal uncertainty, which arises from missing or conflicting knowledge within the model. However, hallucinations can also stem from external uncertainty, where ambiguous user queries lead to multiple possible interpretations. In this work, we introduce Semantic Volume, a novel mathematical measure for quantifying both external and internal uncertainty in LLMs. Our approach perturbs queries and responses, embeds them in a semantic space, and computes the Gram matrix determinant of the embedding vectors, capturing their dispersion as a measure of uncertainty. Our framework provides a generalizable and unsupervised uncertainty detection method without requiring internal access to LLMs. We conduct extensive experiments on both external and internal uncertainty detections, demonstrating that our Semantic Volume method consistently outperforms existing baselines in both tasks. Additionally, we provide theoretical insights linking our measure to differential entropy, unifying and extending previous sampling-based uncertainty measures such as the semantic entropy. Semantic Volume is shown to be a robust and interpretable approach to improving the reliability of LLMs by systematically detecting uncertainty in both user queries and model responses.
ALVI Interface: Towards Full Hand Motion Decoding for Amputees Using sEMG
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

We present a system for decoding hand movements using surface EMG signals. The interface provides real-time (25 Hz) reconstruction of finger joint angles across 20 degrees of freedom, designed for upper limb amputees. Our offline analysis shows 0.8 correlation between predicted and actual hand movements. The system functions as an integrated pipeline with three key components: (1) a VR-based data collection platform, (2) a transformer-based model for EMG-to-motion transformation, and (3) a real-time calibration and feedback module called ALVI Interface. Using eight sEMG sensors and a VR training environment, users can control their virtual hand down to finger joint movement precision, as demonstrated in our video: youtube link.
Optimizing and Exploring System Performance in Compact Processing-in-Memory-based Chips
Venue: arXiv cs.AR 2025
Year: 2025

Processing-in-memory (PIM) is a promising computing paradigm to tackle the "memory wall" challenge. However, PIM system-level benefits over traditional von Neumann architecture can be reduced when the memory array cannot fully store all the neural network (NN) weights. The NN size is increasing while the PIM design size cannot scale up accordingly due to area constraints. Therefore, this work targets the system performance optimization and exploration for compact PIM designs. We first analyze the impact of data movement on compact designs. Then, we propose a novel pipeline method that maximizes the reuse of NN weights to improve the throughput and energy efficiency of inference in compact chips. To further boost throughput, we introduce a scheduling algorithm to mitigate the pipeline bubble problem. Moreover, we investigate the trade-off between the network size and system performance for a compact PIM chip. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves 2.35x and 0.5% improvement in throughput and energy efficiency, respectively. Compared to the area-unlimited design, our compact chip achieves approximately 56.5% of the throughput and 58.6% of the energy efficiency while using only one-third of the chip area, along with 1.3x improvement in area efficiency. Our compact design also outperforms the modern GPU with 4.56x higher throughput and 157x better energy efficiency. Besides, our compact design uses less than 20% of the system energy for data movement as batch size scales up.
Back to the Future Cyclopean Stereo: a human perception approach combining deep and geometric constraints
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

We innovate in stereo vision by explicitly providing analytical 3D surface models as viewed by a cyclopean eye model that incorporate depth discontinuities and occlusions. This geometrical foundation combined with learned stereo features allows our system to benefit from the strengths of both approaches. We also invoke a prior monocular model of surfaces to fill in occlusion regions or texture-less regions where data matching is not sufficient. Our results already are on par with the state-of-the-art purely data-driven methods and are of much better visual quality, emphasizing the importance of the 3D geometrical model to capture critical visual information. Such qualitative improvements may find applicability in virtual reality, for a better human experience, as well as in robotics, for reducing critical errors. Our approach aims to demonstrate that understanding and modeling geometrical properties of 3D surfaces is beneficial to computer vision research.
Hybrid Team Tetris: A New Platform For Hybrid Multi-Agent, Multi-Human Teaming
Venue: arXiv cs.HC 2025
Year: 2025

Metcalfe et al (1) argue that the greatest potential for human-AI partnerships lies in their application to highly complex problem spaces. Herein, we discuss three different forms of hybrid team intelligence and posit that across all three forms, the hybridization of man and machine intelligence can be effective under the right conditions. We foresee two significant research and development (R&D) challenges underlying the creation of effective hybrid intelligence. First, rapid advances in machine intelligence and/or fundamental changes in human behaviors or capabilities over time can outpace R&D. Second, the future conditions under which hybrid intelligence will operate are unknown, but unlikely to be the same as the conditions of today. Overcoming both of these challenges requires a deep understanding of multiple human-centric and machine-centric disciplines that creates a large barrier to entry into the field. Herein, we outline an open, shareable research platform that creates a form of hybrid team intelligence that functions under representative future conditions. The intent for the platform is to facilitate new forms of hybrid intelligence research allowing individuals with human-centric or machine-centric backgrounds to rapidly enter the field and initiate research. Our hope is that through open, community research on the platform, state-of-the-art advances in human and machine intelligence can quickly be communicated across what are currently different R&D communities and allow hybrid team intelligence research to stay at the forefront of scientific advancement.
CurviTrack: Curvilinear Trajectory Tracking for High-speed Chase of a USV
Venue: arXiv cs.RO 2025
Year: 2025

Heterogeneous robot teams used in marine environments incur time-and-energy penalties when the marine vehicle has to halt the mission to allow the autonomous aerial vehicle to land for recharging. In this paper, we present a solution for this problem using a novel drag-aware model formulation which is coupled with MPC, and therefore, enables tracking and landing during high-speed curvilinear trajectories of an USV without any communication. Compared to the state-of-the-art, our approach yields 40% decrease in prediction errors, and provides a 3-fold increase in certainty of predictions. Consequently, this leads to a 30% improvement in tracking performance and 40% higher success in landing on a moving USV even during aggressive turns that are unfeasible for conventional marine missions. We test our approach in two different real-world scenarios with marine vessels of two different sizes and further solidify our results through statistical analysis in simulation to demonstrate the robustness of our method.

Efficient Test-Time Scaling via Self-Calibration
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Increasing test-time computation is a straightforward approach to enhancing the quality of responses in Large Language Models (LLMs). While Best-of-N sampling and Self-Consistency with majority voting are simple and effective, they require a fixed number of sampling responses for each query, regardless of its complexity. This could result in wasted computation for simpler questions and insufficient exploration for more challenging ones. In this work, we argue that model confidence of responses can be used for improving the efficiency of test-time scaling. Unfortunately, LLMs are known to be overconfident and provide unreliable confidence estimation. To address this limitation, we introduce Self-Calibration by distilling Self-Consistency-derived confidence into the model itself. This enables reliable confidence estimation at test time with one forward pass. We then design confidence-based efficient test-time scaling methods to handle queries of various difficulty, such as Early-Stopping for Best-of-N and Self-Consistency with calibrated confidence. Experiments on three LLMs across six datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. Specifically, applying confidence-based Early Stopping to Best-of-N improves MathQA accuracy from 81.0 to 83.6 with a sample budget of 16 responses, indicating the efficacy of confidence-based sampling strategy at inference time.
Memory-Free and Parallel Computation for Quantized Spiking Neural Networks
Venue: arXiv cs.NE 2025
Year: 2025

Quantized Spiking Neural Networks (QSNNs) offer superior energy efficiency and are well-suited for deployment on resource-limited edge devices. However, limited bit-width weight and membrane potential result in a notable performance decline. In this study, we first identify a new underlying cause for this decline: the loss of historical information due to the quantized membrane potential. To tackle this issue, we introduce a memory-free quantization method that captures all historical information without directly storing membrane potentials, resulting in better performance with less memory requirements. To further improve the computational efficiency, we propose a parallel training and asynchronous inference framework that greatly increases training speed and energy efficiency. We combine the proposed memory-free quantization and parallel computation methods to develop a high-performance and efficient QSNN, named MFP-QSNN. Extensive experiments show that our MFP-QSNN achieves state-of-the-art performance on various static and neuromorphic image datasets, requiring less memory and faster training speeds. The efficiency and efficacy of the MFP-QSNN highlight its potential for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing.
Improved YOLOv12 with LLM-Generated Synthetic Data for Enhanced Apple Detection and Benchmarking Against YOLOv11 and YOLOv10
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

This study evaluated the performance of the YOLOv12 object detection model, and compared against the performances YOLOv11 and YOLOv10 for apple detection in commercial orchards based on the model training completed entirely on synthetic images generated by Large Language Models (LLMs). The YOLOv12n configuration achieved the highest precision at 0.916, the highest recall at 0.969, and the highest mean Average Precision (mAP@50) at 0.978. In comparison, the YOLOv11 series was led by YOLO11x, which achieved the highest precision at 0.857, recall at 0.85, and mAP@50 at 0.91. For the YOLOv10 series, YOLOv10b and YOLOv10l both achieved the highest precision at 0.85, with YOLOv10n achieving the highest recall at 0.8 and mAP@50 at 0.89. These findings demonstrated that YOLOv12, when trained on realistic LLM-generated datasets surpassed its predecessors in key performance metrics. The technique also offered a cost-effective solution by reducing the need for extensive manual data collection in the agricultural field. In addition, this study compared the computational efficiency of all versions of YOLOv12, v11 and v10, where YOLOv11n reported the lowest inference time at 4.7 ms, compared to YOLOv12n's 5.6 ms and YOLOv10n's 5.9 ms. Although YOLOv12 is new and more accurate than YOLOv11, and YOLOv10, YOLO11n still stays the fastest YOLO model among YOLOv10, YOLOv11 and YOLOv12 series of models.

Forecasting Whole-Brain Neuronal Activity from Volumetric Video
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Large-scale neuronal activity recordings with fluorescent calcium indicators are increasingly common, yielding high-resolution 2D or 3D videos. Traditional analysis pipelines reduce this data to 1D traces by segmenting regions of interest, leading to inevitable information loss. Inspired by the success of deep learning on minimally processed data in other domains, we investigate the potential of forecasting neuronal activity directly from volumetric videos. To capture long-range dependencies in high-resolution volumetric whole-brain recordings, we design a model with large receptive fields, which allow it to integrate information from distant regions within the brain. We explore the effects of pre-training and perform extensive model selection, analyzing spatio-temporal trade-offs for generating accurate forecasts. Our model outperforms trace-based forecasting approaches on ZAPBench, a recently proposed benchmark on whole-brain activity prediction in zebrafish, demonstrating the advantages of preserving the spatial structure of neuronal activity.
Data Taxonomy Towards the Applicability of the Digital Twin Conceptual Framework in Disaster Management
Venue: arXiv cs.CY 2025
Year: 2025

The Digital Twin (DT) offers a novel approach to the management of critical infrastructures, including energy, water, traffic, public health, and communication systems, which are indispensable for the functioning of modern societies. The increasing complexity and interconnectedness of these infrastructures necessitate the development of robust disaster response and management strategies. During crises and disasters, data source availability for critical infrastructure may be severely constrained due to physical damage to communication networks, power outages, overwhelmed systems, sensor failure or intentional disruptions, hampering the ability to effectively monitor, manage, and respond to emergencies. This research introduces a taxonomy and similarity function for comparing data sources based on their features and vulnerability to crisis events. This assessment enables the identification of similar, complementary, and alternative data sources and rapid adaptation when primary sources fail. The paper outlines a data source manager as an additional component for existing DT frameworks, specifically the data ingress and scenario mangement. A case study for traffic data sources in an urban scenario demonstrates the proposed methodology and its effectiveness. This approach enhances the robustness and adaptability of DTs in disaster management applications, contributing to improved decision-making and response capabilities in critical situations.
Generalization of CNNs on Relational Reasoning with Bar Charts
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

This paper presents a systematic study of the generalization of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and humans on relational reasoning tasks with bar charts. We first revisit previous experiments on graphical perception and update the benchmark performance of CNNs. We then test the generalization performance of CNNs on a classic relational reasoning task: estimating bar length ratios in a bar chart, by progressively perturbing the standard visualizations. We further conduct a user study to compare the performance of CNNs and humans. Our results show that CNNs outperform humans only when the training and test data have the same visual encodings. Otherwise, they may perform worse. We also find that CNNs are sensitive to perturbations in various visual encodings, regardless of their relevance to the target bars. Yet, humans are mainly influenced by bar lengths. Our study suggests that robust relational reasoning with visualizations is challenging for CNNs. Improving CNNs' generalization performance may require training them to better recognize task-related visual properties.
EdgeAIGuard: Agentic LLMs for Minor Protection in Digital Spaces
Venue: arXiv cs.CY 2025
Year: 2025

Social media has become integral to minors' daily lives and is used for various purposes, such as making friends, exploring shared interests, and engaging in educational activities. However, the increase in screen time has also led to heightened challenges, including cyberbullying, online grooming, and exploitations posed by malicious actors. Traditional content moderation techniques have proven ineffective against exploiters' evolving tactics. To address these growing challenges, we propose the EdgeAIGuard content moderation approach that is designed to protect minors from online grooming and various forms of digital exploitation. The proposed method comprises a multi-agent architecture deployed strategically at the network edge to enable rapid detection with low latency and prevent harmful content targeting minors. The experimental results show the proposed method is significantly more effective than the existing approaches.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-Based Mapping of Iris Pseudacorus L. Invasion in Laguna del Sauce (Uruguay) Coast
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Biological invasions pose a significant threat to the sustainability of water sources. Efforts are increasingly being made to prevent invasions, eradicate established invaders, or control them. Remote sensing (RS) has long been recognized as a potential tool to aid in this effort, for example, by mapping the distribution of invasive species or identifying areas at risk of invasion. This paper provides a detailed explanation of a process for mapping the actual distribution of invasive species. This article presents a case studie on the detection of invasive Iris Pseudacorus L. using multispectral data captured by small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The process involved spectral feature mapping followed by semi-supervised classification, which produced accurate maps of these invasive.
Evaluation of LLMs-based Hidden States as Author Representations for Psychological Human-Centered NLP Tasks
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

Like most of NLP, models for human-centered NLP tasks -- tasks attempting to assess author-level information -- predominantly use representations derived from hidden states of Transformer-based LLMs. However, what component of the LM is used for the representation varies widely. Moreover, there is a need for Human Language Models (HuLMs) that implicitly model the author and provide a user-level hidden state. Here, we systematically evaluate different ways of representing documents and users using different LM and HuLM architectures to predict task outcomes as both dynamically changing states and averaged trait-like user-level attributes of valence, arousal, empathy, and distress. We find that representing documents as an average of the token hidden states performs the best generally. Further, while a user-level hidden state itself is rarely the best representation, we find its inclusion in the model strengthens token or document embeddings used to derive document- and user-level representations resulting in best performances.
