The dimension and Bose distance of certain primitive BCH codes
Venue: arXiv cs.IT 2025
Year: 2025

BCH codes are a significant class of cyclic codes that play an important role in both theoretical research and practical applications. Their strong error-correcting abilities and efficient encoding and decoding methods make BCH codes widely applicable in various areas, including communication systems, data storage devices, and consumer electronics. Although BCH codes have been extensively studied, the parameters of BCH codes are not known in general. Let $q$ be a prime power and $m$ be a positive integer. Denote by $\mathcal{C}_{\left(q,m,δ)\right)}$ the narrow-sense primitive BCH code with length $q^m-1$ and designed distance $δ$. As of now, the dimensions of $\mathcal{C}_{(q,m,δ)}$ are fully understood only for $m \leq 2$. For $m \geq 4$, the dimensions of $\mathcal{C}_{(q,m,δ)}$ are known only for the range $2 \leq δ\leq q^{\lfloor (m+1)/2 \rfloor +1}$ and for a limited number of special cases. In this paper, we determined the dimension and Bose distance of $\mathcal{C}_{(q,m,δ)}$ for $m\geq 4$ and $δ\in [2, q^{\lfloor ( 2m-1)/{3}\rfloor+1}]. $ Additionally, we have also extended our results to some primitive BCH codes that are not necessarily narrow-sense.
A framework for boosting matching approximation: parallel, distributed, and dynamic
Venue: arXiv cs.DS 2025
Year: 2025

This work designs a framework for boosting the approximation guarantee of maximum matching algorithms. As input, the framework receives a parameter $ε> 0$ and an oracle access to a $Θ(1)$-approximate maximum matching algorithm $\mathcal{A}$. Then, by invoking $\mathcal{A}$ for $\text{poly}(1/ε)$ many times, the framework outputs a $1+ε$ approximation of a maximum matching. Our approach yields several improvements in terms of the number of invocations to $\mathcal{A}$: (1) In MPC and CONGEST, our framework invokes $\mathcal{A}$ for $O(1/ε^7 \cdot \log(1/ε))$ times, substantially improving on $O(1/ε^{39})$ invocations following from [Fischer et al., STOC'22] and [Mitrovic et al., arXiv:2412.19057]. (2) In both online and offline fully dynamic settings, our framework yields an improvement in the dependence on $1/ε$ from exponential [Assadi et al., SODA25 and Liu, FOCS24] to polynomial.
Nature-Inspired Population-Based Evolution of Large Language Models
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

Evolution, the engine behind the survival and growth of life on Earth, operates through the population-based process of reproduction. Inspired by this principle, this paper formally defines a newly emerging problem -- the population-based evolution of large language models (LLMs) -- and introduces a novel framework. Starting with a population of parent LLMs, our framework enables the population to evolve through four key operations: (i) crossover, merging the weights of different parents to create offspring LLMs, (ii) mutation, introducing small, random changes to model weights to foster diversity, (iii) selection, prioritizing high-performing models, and (iv) succession, transferring the learned experience from parent to offspring LLMs. With only 200 samples per new task, the LLM population evolves rapidly to adapt to the task at hand, without any gradients. Experiments on 12 datasets show that our framework consistently outperforms existing multi-LLM merging and adaptation methods, achieving accuracy gains of up to 54.8% over the best LLM in the initial population. Moreover, our framework allows for the evolution of LLMs across multiple new tasks simultaneously, scaling effectively with populations of up to 40 LLMs, and even zero-shot generalization to unseen held-out tasks. We have open-sourced the code on GitHub and released the weights of 10 parent LLMs, fine-tuned from gemma-2-2b-it, on HuggingFace$, enabling reproduction of our proposed framework using just a single 4090 GPU with 24GB memory, without any performance degradation.
Large Language Models for Healthcare Text Classification: A Systematic Review
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) have fundamentally transformed approaches to Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks across diverse domains. In healthcare, accurate and cost-efficient text classification is crucial, whether for clinical notes analysis, diagnosis coding, or any other task, and LLMs present promising potential. Text classification has always faced multiple challenges, including manual annotation for training, handling imbalanced data, and developing scalable approaches. With healthcare, additional challenges are added, particularly the critical need to preserve patients' data privacy and the complexity of the medical terminology. Numerous studies have been conducted to leverage LLMs for automated healthcare text classification and contrast the results with existing machine learning-based methods where embedding, annotation, and training are traditionally required. Existing systematic reviews about LLMs either do not specialize in text classification or do not focus on the healthcare domain. This research synthesizes and critically evaluates the current evidence found in the literature regarding the use of LLMs for text classification in a healthcare setting. Major databases (e.g., Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct) and other resources were queried, which focused on the papers published between 2018 and 2024 within the framework of PRISMA guidelines, which resulted in 65 eligible research articles. These were categorized by text classification type (e.g., binary classification, multi-label classification), application (e.g., clinical decision support, public health and opinion analysis), methodology, type of healthcare text, and metrics used for evaluation and validation. This review reveals the existing gaps in the literature and suggests future research lines that can be investigated and explored.
Med-LEGO: Editing and Adapting toward Generalist Medical Image Diagnosis
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

The adoption of visual foundation models has become a common practice in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). While these foundation models provide a viable solution for creating generalist medical AI, privacy concerns make it difficult to pre-train or continuously update such models across multiple domains and datasets, leading many studies to focus on specialist models. To address this challenge, we propose Med-LEGO, a training-free framework that enables the seamless integration or updating of a generalist CAD model by combining multiple specialist models, similar to assembling LEGO bricks. Med-LEGO enhances LoRA (low-rank adaptation) by incorporating singular value decomposition (SVD) to efficiently capture the domain expertise of each specialist model with minimal additional parameters. By combining these adapted weights through simple operations, Med-LEGO allows for the easy integration or modification of specific diagnostic capabilities without the need for original data or retraining. Finally, the combined model can be further adapted to new diagnostic tasks, making it a versatile generalist model. Our extensive experiments demonstrate that Med-LEGO outperforms existing methods in both cross-domain and in-domain medical tasks while using only 0.18% of full model parameters. These merged models show better convergence and generalization to new tasks, providing an effective path toward generalist medical AI.
Cancer Type, Stage and Prognosis Assessment from Pathology Reports using LLMs
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown significant promise across various natural language processing tasks. However, their application in the field of pathology, particularly for extracting meaningful insights from unstructured medical texts such as pathology reports, remains underexplored and not well quantified. In this project, we leverage state-of-the-art language models, including the GPT family, Mistral models, and the open-source Llama models, to evaluate their performance in comprehensively analyzing pathology reports. Specifically, we assess their performance in cancer type identification, AJCC stage determination, and prognosis assessment, encompassing both information extraction and higher-order reasoning tasks. Based on a detailed analysis of their performance metrics in a zero-shot setting, we developed two instruction-tuned models: Path-llama3.1-8B and Path-GPT-4o-mini-FT. These models demonstrated superior performance in zero-shot cancer type identification, staging, and prognosis assessment compared to the other models evaluated.
Parameter-free Video Segmentation for Vision and Language Understanding
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

The proliferation of creative video content has driven demand for adapting language models to handle video input and enable multimodal understanding. However, end-to-end models struggle to process long videos due to their size and complexity. An effective alternative is to divide them into smaller chunks to be processed separately, and this motivates a method for choosing where the chunk boundaries should be. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for segmenting videos into contiguous chunks, based on the minimum description length principle, coupled with a dynamic programming search. The algorithm is entirely parameter-free, given feature vectors, not requiring a set threshold or the number or size of chunks to be specified. We show empirically that the breakpoints it produces more accurately approximate scene boundaries in long videos, compared with existing methods for scene detection, even when such methods have access to the true number of scenes. We then showcase this algorithm in two tasks: long video summarization, and retrieval-augmented video question answering. In both cases, scene breaks produced by our algorithm lead to better downstream performance than existing methods for video segmentation.
Gaussian Process Surrogate Models for Efficient Estimation of Structural Response Distributions and Order Statistics
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Engineering disciplines often rely on extensive simulations to ensure that structures are designed to withstand harsh conditions while avoiding over-engineering for unlikely scenarios. Assessments such as Serviceability Limit State (SLS) involve evaluating weather events, including estimating loads not expected to be exceeded more than a specified number of times (e.g., 100) throughout the structure's design lifetime. Although physics-based simulations provide robust and detailed insights, they are computationally expensive, making it challenging to generate statistically valid representations of a wide range of weather conditions. To address these challenges, we propose an approach using Gaussian Process (GP) surrogate models trained on a limited set of simulation outputs to directly generate the structural response distribution. We apply this method to an SLS assessment for estimating the order statistics \(Y_{100}\), representing the 100th highest response, of a structure exposed to 25 years of historical weather observations. Our results indicate that the GP surrogate models provide comparable results to full simulations but at a fraction of the computational cost.
Voice Cloning for Dysarthric Speech Synthesis: Addressing Data Scarcity in Speech-Language Pathology
Venue: arXiv cs.SD 2025
Year: 2025

This study explores voice cloning to generate synthetic speech replicating the unique patterns of individuals with dysarthria. Using the TORGO dataset, we address data scarcity and privacy challenges in speech-language pathology. Our contributions include demonstrating that voice cloning preserves dysarthric speech characteristics, analyzing differences between real and synthetic data, and discussing implications for diagnostics, rehabilitation, and communication. We cloned voices from dysarthric and control speakers using a commercial platform, ensuring gender-matched synthetic voices. A licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) evaluated a subset for dysarthria, speaker gender, and synthetic indicators. The SLP correctly identified dysarthria in all cases and speaker gender in 95% but misclassified 30% of synthetic samples as real, indicating high realism. Our results suggest synthetic speech effectively captures disordered characteristics and that voice cloning has advanced to produce high-quality data resembling real speech, even to trained professionals. This has critical implications for healthcare, where synthetic data can mitigate data scarcity, protect privacy, and enhance AI-driven diagnostics. By enabling the creation of diverse, high-quality speech datasets, voice cloning can improve generalizable models, personalize therapy, and advance assistive technologies for dysarthria. We publicly release our synthetic dataset to foster further research and collaboration, aiming to develop robust models that improve patient outcomes in speech-language pathology.

The system's performance is explored through three measurements that evaluate the relationship between user input force and output pHRI motion. Overall, this platform presents a unique approach by utilizing planar gantries to realize VR terrain interaction with an extensive workspace, reasonably compact footprint, and preliminary user data.
OptMetaOpenFOAM: Large Language Model Driven Chain of Thought for Sensitivity Analysis and Parameter Optimization based on CFD
Venue: arXiv cs.AI 2025
Year: 2025

Merging natural language interfaces with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) workflows presents transformative opportunities for both industry and research. In this study, we introduce OptMetaOpenFOAM - a novel framework that bridges MetaOpenFOAM with external analysis and optimization tool libraries through a large language model (LLM)-driven chain-of-thought (COT) methodology. By automating complex CFD tasks via natural language inputs, the framework empowers non-expert users to perform sensitivity analyses and parameter optimizations with markedly improved efficiency. The test dataset comprises 11 distinct CFD analysis or optimization tasks, including a baseline simulation task derived from an OpenFOAM tutorial covering fluid dynamics, combustion, and heat transfer. Results confirm that OptMetaOpenFOAM can accurately interpret user requirements expressed in natural language and effectively invoke external tool libraries alongside MetaOpenFOAM to complete the tasks. Furthermore, validation on a non-OpenFOAM tutorial case - namely, a hydrogen combustion chamber - demonstrates that a mere 200-character natural language input can trigger a sequence of simulation, postprocessing, analysis, and optimization tasks spanning over 2,000 lines of code. These findings underscore the transformative potential of LLM-driven COT methodologies in linking external tool for advanced analysis and optimization, positioning OptMetaOpenFOAM as an effective tool that streamlines CFD simulations and enhances their convenience and efficiency for both industrial and research applications. Code is available at https://github.com/Terry-cyx/MetaOpenFOAM.
Stone Soup Multi-Target Tracking Feature Extraction For Autonomous Search And Track In Deep Reinforcement Learning Environment
Venue: arXiv cs.RO 2025
Year: 2025

Management of sensing resources is a non-trivial problem for future military air assets with future systems deploying heterogeneous sensors to generate information of the battlespace. Machine learning techniques including deep reinforcement learning (DRL) have been identified as promising approaches, but require high-fidelity training environments and feature extractors to generate information for the agent. This paper presents a deep reinforcement learning training approach, utilising the Stone Soup tracking framework as a feature extractor to train an agent for a sensor management task. A general framework for embedding Stone Soup tracker components within a Gymnasium environment is presented, enabling fast and configurable tracker deployments for RL training using Stable Baselines3. The approach is demonstrated in a sensor management task where an agent is trained to search and track a region of airspace utilising track lists generated from Stone Soup trackers. A sample implementation using three neural network architectures in a search-and-track scenario demonstrates the approach and shows that RL agents can outperform simple sensor search and track policies when trained within the Gymnasium and Stone Soup environment.
Towards Enhanced Image Generation Via Multi-modal Chain of Thought in Unified Generative Models
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Unified generative models have shown remarkable performance in text and image generation. For image synthesis tasks, they adopt straightforward text-to-image (T2I) generation. However, direct T2I generation limits the models in handling complex compositional instructions, which frequently occur in real-world scenarios. Although this issue is vital, existing works mainly focus on improving the basic image generation capability of the models. While such improvements help to some extent, they still fail to adequately resolve the problem. Inspired by Chain of Thought (CoT) solving complex problems step by step, this work aims to introduce CoT into unified generative models to address the challenges of complex image generation that direct T2I generation cannot effectively solve, thereby endowing models with enhanced image generation ability. To achieve this, we first propose Functionality-oriented eXperts (FoXperts), an expert-parallel architecture in our model FoX, which assigns experts by function. FoXperts disentangles potential conflicts in mainstream modality-oriented designs and provides a solid foundation for CoT. When introducing CoT, the first question is how to design it for complex image generation. To this end, we emulate a human-like artistic workflow--planning, acting, reflection, and correction--and propose the Multimodal Chain of Thought (MCoT) approach, as the data involves both text and image. To address the subsequent challenge of designing an effective MCoT training paradigm, we develop a multi-task joint training scheme that equips the model with all capabilities required for each MCoT step in a disentangled manner. This paradigm avoids the difficulty of collecting consistent multi-step data tuples. Extensive experiments show that FoX consistently outperforms existing unified models on various T2I benchmarks, delivering notable improvements in complex image generation.
Comparative Analysis of Ray Tracing and Rayleigh Fading Models for Distributed MIMO Systems in Industrial Environments
Venue: arXiv cs.NI 2025
Year: 2025

This paper presents a detailed analysis of coverage in a factory environment using realistic 3D map data to evaluate the benefits of Distributed MIMO (D-MIMO) over colocalized approach. Our study emphasizes the importance of network densification in enhancing D-MIMO performance, ensuring that User Equipment (UE) remains within range of multiple Access Points (APs). To assess MIMO capacity, we compare two propagation channel models: ray tracing and stochastic. While ray tracing provides accurate predictions by considering environmental details and consistent correlations within the MIMO response, stochastic models offer a more generalized and efficient approach. The analysis outlines the strengths and limitations of each model when applied to the simulation of the downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) single-user capacity in various D-MIMO deployment scenarios.
Explainable Depression Detection in Clinical Interviews with Personalized Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

Depression is a widespread mental health disorder, and clinical interviews are the gold standard for assessment. However, their reliance on scarce professionals highlights the need for automated detection. Current systems mainly employ black-box neural networks, which lack interpretability, which is crucial in mental health contexts. Some attempts to improve interpretability use post-hoc LLM generation but suffer from hallucination. To address these limitations, we propose RED, a Retrieval-augmented generation framework for Explainable depression Detection. RED retrieves evidence from clinical interview transcripts, providing explanations for predictions. Traditional query-based retrieval systems use a one-size-fits-all approach, which may not be optimal for depression detection, as user backgrounds and situations vary. We introduce a personalized query generation module that combines standard queries with user-specific background inferred by LLMs, tailoring retrieval to individual contexts. Additionally, to enhance LLM performance in social intelligence, we augment LLMs by retrieving relevant knowledge from a social intelligence datastore using an event-centric retriever. Experimental results on the real-world benchmark demonstrate RED's effectiveness compared to neural networks and LLM-based baselines.

Venue: arXiv cs.IR 2025
Year: 2025

The burgeoning volume of multi-modal data necessitates advanced retrieval paradigms beyond unimodal and cross-modal approaches. Composed Multi-modal Retrieval (CMR) emerges as a pivotal next-generation technology, enabling users to query images or videos by integrating a reference visual input with textual modifications, thereby achieving unprecedented flexibility and precision. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of CMR, covering its fundamental challenges, technical advancements, and applications. CMR is categorized into supervised, zero-shot, and semi-supervised learning paradigms. We discuss key research directions, including data construction, model architecture, and loss optimization in supervised CMR, as well as transformation frameworks and linear integration in zero-shot CMR, and semi-supervised CMR that leverages generated pseudo-triplets while addressing data noise/uncertainty. Additionally, we extensively survey the diverse application landscape of CMR, highlighting its transformative potential in e-commerce, social media, search engines, public security, etc. Seven high impact application scenarios are explored in detail with benchmark data sets and performance analysis. Finally, we further provide new potential research directions with the hope of inspiring exploration in other yet-to-be-explored fields.
