Objective Features Extracted from Motor Activity Time Series for Food Addiction Analysis Using Machine Learning -- A Pilot Study
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Wearable sensors and IoT/IoMT platforms enable continuous, real-time monitoring, but objective digital markers for eating disorders are limited. In this study, we examined whether actimetry and machine learning (ML) could provide objective criteria for food addiction (FA) and symptom counts (SC). In 78 participants (mean age 22.1 +/- 9.5 y; 73.1% women), one week of non-dominant wrist actimetry and psychometric data (YFAS, DEBQ, ZSDS) were collected. The time series were segmented into daytime activity and nighttime rest, and statistical and entropy descriptors (FuzzyEn, DistEn, SVDEn, PermEn, PhaseEn; 256 features) were calculated. The mean Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) was used as the primary metric in a K-nearest neighbors (KNN) pipeline with five-fold stratified cross-validation (one hundred repetitions; 500 evaluations); SHAP was used to assist in interpretation. For binary FA, activity-segment features performed best (MCC = 0.78 +/- 0.02; Accuracy ~ 95.3% +/- 0.5; Sensitivity ~ 0.77 +/- 0.03; Specificity ~ 0.98 +/- 0.004), exceeding OaS (Objective and Subjective Features) (MCC = 0.69 +/- 0.03) and rest-only (MCC = 0.50 +/- 0.03). For SC (four classes), OaS slightly surpassed actimetry (MCC = 0.40 +/- 0.01 vs 0.38 +/- 0.01; Accuracy ~ 58.1% vs 56.9%). Emotional and restrained eating were correlated with actimetric features. These findings support wrist-worn actimetry as a digital biomarker of FA that complements questionnaires and may facilitate privacy-preserving clinical translation.
Rapid Gyroscope Calibration: A Deep Learning Approach
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Low-cost gyroscope calibration is essential for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of gyroscope measurements. Stationary calibration estimates the deterministic parts of measurement errors. To this end, a common practice is to average the gyroscope readings during a predefined period and estimate the gyroscope bias. Calibration duration plays a crucial role in performance, therefore, longer periods are preferred. However, some applications require quick startup times and calibration is therefore allowed only for a short time. In this work, we focus on reducing low-cost gyroscope calibration time using deep learning methods. We propose an end-to-end convolutional neural network for the application of gyroscope calibration. We explore the possibilities of using multiple real and virtual gyroscopes to improve the calibration performance of single gyroscopes. To train and validate our approach, we recorded a dataset consisting of 186.6 hours of gyroscope readings, using 36 gyroscopes of four different brands. We also created a virtual dataset consisting of simulated gyroscope readings. The six datasets were used to evaluate our proposed approach. One of our key achievements in this work is reducing gyroscope calibration time by up to 89% using three low-cost gyroscopes. Our dataset is publicly available to allow reproducibility of our work and to increase research in the field.
Measuring NIST Authentication Standards Compliance by Higher Education Institutions
Venue: arXiv cs.CR 2025
Year: 2025

Technical standards are a longstanding method of communicating best practice recommendations based on expert consensus. Cybersecurity standards are particularly important for informing policies that protect critical systems and sensitive data. Measuring standards compliance is therefore essential to identify vulnerabilities arising from outdated policies and to determine whether expert advice has effectively diffused to practitioners. In this paper, we examine the authentication policies of a diverse set of 135 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada to determine compliance with four standards from NIST Special Publication 800-63 Digital Identity Guidelines. We find widespread, but not universal, deployment of multi-factor authentication across institutions. We also find prevalent outdated use of password expiration, password composition rules, and knowledge-based authentication. These results support further investment and research into incentive structures for standards compliance and the diffusion of expert guidance to practitioners.
Universal Finite-State and Self-Stabilizing Computation in Anonymous Dynamic Networks
Venue: arXiv cs.DC 2025
Year: 2025

A communication network is said to be "anonymous" if its agents are indistinguishable from each other; it is "dynamic" if its communication links may appear or disappear unpredictably over time. Assuming that each of the $n$ agents of an anonymous dynamic network is initially given an input, it takes $2τn$ communication rounds for the agents to compute an arbitrary (frequency-based) function of such inputs (Di Luna-Viglietta, DISC 2023), where $τ$ is a parameter called "dynamic disconnectivity", and measures how far the network is from being always connected (for always connected dynamic networks, $τ=1$). It is known that, without making additional assumptions on the network and without knowing the number of agents $n$, it is impossible to compute most functions and explicitly terminate. In fact, current state-of-the-art algorithms only achieve stabilization, i.e., allow each agent to return an output after every communication round. Outputs can be changed, and are guaranteed to be all correct after $2τn$ rounds. Such algorithms rely on the incremental construction of a data structure called "history tree", which is augmented at every round. Thus, they end up consuming an unlimited amount of memory, and are also prone to errors in case of memory loss or corruption. In this paper, we provide a general self-stabilizing algorithm for anonymous dynamic networks that stabilizes in $\max\{4τn-2μ,2μ\}$ rounds (where $μ$ measures the amount of corrupted data initially present in the memory of each agent), as well as a general finite-state algorithm that stabilizes in $τ(2n^2+n)$ rounds. Our work improves upon previously known methods that only apply to static networks (Boldi-Vigna, Dist. Comp. 2002). In addition, we develop new fundamental techniques and operations involving history trees, which are of independent interest.
Preference-Based Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning: Data Coverage and Algorithmic Techniques
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

We initiate the study of Preference-Based Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (PbMARL), exploring both theoretical foundations and empirical validations. We define the task as identifying the Nash equilibrium from a preference-only offline dataset in general-sum games, a problem marked by the challenge of sparse feedback signals. Our theory establishes the upper complexity bounds for Nash Equilibrium in effective PbMARL, demonstrating that single-policy coverage is inadequate and highlighting the importance of unilateral dataset coverage. These theoretical insights are verified through comprehensive experiments. To enhance the practical performance, we further introduce two algorithmic techniques. (1) We propose a Mean Squared Error (MSE) regularization along the time axis to achieve a more uniform reward distribution and improve reward learning outcomes. (2) We propose an additional penalty based on the distribution of the dataset to incorporate pessimism, improving stability and effectiveness during training. Our findings underscore the multifaceted approach required for PbMARL, paving the way for effective preference-based multi-agent systems.
GroomCap: High-Fidelity Prior-Free Hair Capture
Venue: arXiv cs.GR 2025
Year: 2025

Despite recent advances in multi-view hair reconstruction, achieving strand-level precision remains a significant challenge due to inherent limitations in existing capture pipelines. We introduce GroomCap, a novel multi-view hair capture method that reconstructs faithful and high-fidelity hair geometry without relying on external data priors. To address the limitations of conventional reconstruction algorithms, we propose a neural implicit representation for hair volume that encodes high-resolution 3D orientation and occupancy from input views. This implicit hair volume is trained with a new volumetric 3D orientation rendering algorithm, coupled with 2D orientation distribution supervision, to effectively prevent the loss of structural information caused by undesired orientation blending. We further propose a Gaussian-based hair optimization strategy to refine the traced hair strands with a novel chained Gaussian representation, utilizing direct photometric supervision from images. Our results demonstrate that GroomCap is able to capture high-quality hair geometries that are not only more precise and detailed than existing methods but also versatile enough for a range of applications.
Universal Approximation of Operators with Transformers and Neural Integral Operators
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

We study the universal approximation properties of transformers and neural integral operators for operators in Banach spaces. In particular, we show that the transformer architecture is a universal approximator of integral operators between Hölder spaces. Moreover, we show that a generalized version of neural integral operators, based on the Gavurin integral, are universal approximators of arbitrary operators between Banach spaces. Lastly, we show that a modified version of transformer, which uses Leray-Schauder mappings, is a universal approximator of operators between arbitrary Banach spaces.
Regret Analysis for Randomized Gaussian Process Upper Confidence Bound
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Gaussian process upper confidence bound (GP-UCB) is a theoretically established algorithm for Bayesian optimization (BO), where we assume the objective function $f$ follows a GP. One notable drawback of GP-UCB is that the theoretical confidence parameter $β$ increases along with the iterations and is too large. To alleviate this drawback, this paper analyzes the randomized variant of GP-UCB called improved randomized GP-UCB (IRGP-UCB), which uses the confidence parameter generated from the shifted exponential distribution. We analyze the expected regret and conditional expected regret, where the expectation and the probability are taken respectively with $f$ and noise and with the randomness of the BO algorithm. In both regret analyses, IRGP-UCB achieves a sub-linear regret upper bound without increasing the confidence parameter if the input domain is finite. Furthermore, we show that randomization plays a key role in avoiding an increase in confidence parameter by showing that GP-UCB using a constant confidence parameter can incur linearly growing expected cumulative regret. Finally, we show numerical experiments using synthetic and benchmark functions and real-world emulators.
Unlocking the Wisdom of Large Language Models: An Introduction to The Path to Artificial General Intelligence
Venue: arXiv cs.AI 2025
Year: 2025

This booklet, Unlocking the Wisdom of Multi-LLM Collaborative Intelligence, serves as an accessible introduction to the full volume The Path to Artificial General Intelligence. Through fourteen aphorisms, it distills the core principles of Multi-LLM Agent Collaborative Intelligence (MACI), a framework designed to coordinate multiple LLMs toward reasoning, planning, and decision-making that surpasses the capabilities of any single model. The booklet includes titles, abstracts, and introductions from each main chapter, along with the full content of the first two. The newly released third edition features significant enhancements to Chapters 6 through 9 and a revised preface responding to Yann LeCun's critique of AGI feasibility. While LeCun argues that LLMs lack grounding, memory, and planning, we propose that MACI's collaborative architecture, featuring multimodal agents in executive, legislative, and judicial roles, directly addresses these limitations. Chapters on SocraSynth, EVINCE, consciousness modeling, and behavior regulation demonstrate that reasoning systems grounded in structured interaction and checks and balances can produce more reliable, interpretable, and adaptive intelligence. By integrating complementary model strengths, including world modeling and multimodal perception, MACI enables a system-level intelligence that exceeds the sum of its parts. Like human institutions, progress in AI may depend less on isolated performance and more on coordinated judgment. Collaborative LLMs, not just larger ones, may chart the path toward artificial general intelligence.
DiffEyeSyn: Diffusion-based User-specific Eye Movement Synthesis
Venue: arXiv cs.HC 2025
Year: 2025

High-frequency gaze data contains more user-specific information than low-frequency data, promising for various applications. However, existing gaze modelling methods focus on low-frequency data, ignoring user-specific subtle eye movements in high-frequency eye movements. We present DiffEyeSyn -- the first computational method to synthesise eye movements specific to individual users. The key idea is to consider the user-specific information as a special type of noise in eye movement data. This perspective reshapes eye movement synthesis into the task of injecting this user-specific noise into any given eye movement sequence. We formulate this injection task as a conditional diffusion process in which the synthesis is conditioned on user-specific embeddings extracted from the gaze data using pre-trained models for user authentication. We propose user identity guidance -- a novel loss function that allows our model to preserve user identity while generating human-like eye movements in the spatial domain. Experiments on two public datasets show that our synthetic eye movements preserve user-specific characteristics and are more realistic than baseline approaches. Furthermore, we demonstrate that DiffEyeSyn can synthesise large-scale gaze data and support various downstream tasks, such as gaze-based user identification. As such, our work lays the methodological foundations for personalised eye movement synthesis that has significant application potential, such as for character animation, eye movement biometrics, and gaze data imputation.
Path-Consistency with Prefix Enhancement for Efficient Inference in LLMs
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

To enhance the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), self-consistency has become a popular approach, combining multiple samplings with majority voting. However, current methods are computationally expensive and time-consuming due to the need for numerous samplings. To address this, this paper introduces path-consistency, which leverages the confidence of earlier-generated answers to identify the most promising prefix and guide the generation of subsequent branches. By dynamically guiding the generation of subsequent branches based on this prefix, path-consistency mitigates both the errors and redundancies from random or less useful sampling in self-consistency. This approach reduces errors and redundancies from random sampling, significantly accelerating inference by minimizing token consumption. Our extensive empirical results demonstrate that path-consistency improves inference latency by up to 40.5\%, while maintaining task accuracy across various tasks, including mathematical reasoning, commonsense reasoning, and symbolic reasoning.
Explanation Space: A New Perspective into Time Series Interpretability
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Human understandable explanation of deep learning models is essential for various critical and sensitive applications. Unlike image or tabular data where the importance of each input feature (for the classifier's decision) can be directly projected into the input, time series distinguishable features (e.g. dominant frequency) are often hard to manifest in time domain for a user to easily understand. Additionally, most explanation methods require a baseline value as an indication of the absence of any feature. However, the notion of lack of feature, which is often defined as black pixels for vision tasks or zero/mean values for tabular data, is not well-defined in time series. Despite the adoption of explainable AI methods (XAI) from tabular and vision domain into time series domain, these differences limit the application of these XAI methods in practice. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective method that allows a model originally trained on the time domain to be interpreted in other explanation spaces using existing methods. We suggest five explanation spaces, each of which can potentially alleviate these issues in certain types of time series. Our method can be easily integrated into existing platforms without any changes to trained models or XAI methods. The code will be released upon acceptance.
Automatic Detection of LLM-Generated Code: A Comparative Case Study of Contemporary Models Across Function and Class Granularities
Venue: arXiv cs.SE 2025
Year: 2025

The adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) for code generation risks incorporating vulnerable code into software systems. Existing detectors face two critical limitations: a lack of systematic cross-model validation and opaque "black box" operation. We address this through a comparative study of code generated by four distinct LLMs: GPT-3.5, Claude 3 Haiku, Claude Haiku 4.5, and GPT-OSS. Analyzing 14,485 Python functions and 11,913 classes from the CodeSearchNet dataset, we generated corresponding code with all four LLMs. Using interpretable software metrics, we trained CatBoost classifiers for each configuration. Our analysis reveals that granularity effects dominate model differences by a factor of 8.6, with negligible feature overlap, indicating that function-level and class-level detection rely on fundamentally disjoint structural signatures. We discover critical granularity-dependent inversions: while modern models (Claude, GPT-OSS) are more detectable at the class level, GPT-3.5 is an anomaly that uniquely excels at the function level. SHAP analysis identifies the Comment-to-Code Ratio as the sole universal discriminator. However, its predictive magnitude varies drastically across models, explaining why detectors trained on specific LLMs fail to generalize. Our findings demonstrate that GPT-3.5's exceptional detectability (AUC-ROC 0.96) is unrepresentative of contemporary models (AUC-ROC approximately between 0.68 and 0.80). Robust detection requires moving beyond single-model studies to account for substantial diversity in structural fingerprints across architectures and granularities.
CV-Probes: Studying the interplay of lexical and world knowledge in visually grounded verb understanding
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

How do vision-language (VL) transformer models ground verb phrases and do they integrate contextual and world knowledge in this process? We introduce the CV-Probes dataset, containing image-caption pairs involving verb phrases that require both social knowledge and visual context to interpret (e.g., "beg"), as well as pairs involving verb phrases that can be grounded based on information directly available in the image (e.g., "sit"). We show that VL models struggle to ground VPs that are strongly context-dependent. Further analysis using explainable AI techniques shows that such models may not pay sufficient attention to the verb token in the captions. Our results suggest a need for improved methodologies in VL model training and evaluation. The code and dataset will be available https://github.com/ivana-13/CV-Probes.

Venue: arXiv cs.RO 2025
Year: 2025

This paper presents the development of a Physics-realistic and Photo-realistic humanoid robot testbed, PR2, to facilitate collaborative research between Embodied Artificial Intelligence (Embodied AI) and robotics. PR2 offers high-quality scene rendering and robot dynamic simulation, enabling (i) the creation of diverse scenes using various digital assets, (ii) the integration of advanced perception or foundation models, and (iii) the implementation of planning and control algorithms for dynamic humanoid robot behaviors based on environmental feedback. The beta version of PR2 has been deployed for the simulation track of a nationwide full-size humanoid robot competition for college students, attracting 137 teams and over 400 participants within four months. This competition covered traditional tasks in bipedal walking, as well as novel challenges in loco-manipulation and language-instruction-based object search, marking a first for public college robotics competitions. A retrospective analysis of the competition suggests that future events should emphasize the integration of locomotion with manipulation and perception.

DAOs of Collective Intelligence? Unraveling the Complexity of Blockchain Governance in Decentralized Autonomous Organizations
Venue: arXiv cs.CY 2025
Year: 2025

Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) have transformed organizational structures by shifting from traditional hierarchical control to decentralized approaches, leveraging blockchain and cryptoeconomics. Despite managing significant funds and building global networks, DAOs face challenges like declining participation, increasing centralization, and inabilities to adapt to changing environments, which stifle innovation. This paper explores DAOs as complex systems and applies complexity science to explain their inefficiencies. In particular, we discuss DAO challenges, their complex nature, and introduce the self-organization mechanisms of collective intelligence, digital democracy, and adaptation. By applying these mechanisms to refine DAO design and construction, a conceptual framework for assessing a DAO's viability is created. This contribution lays the foundation for future research at the intersection of complexity science, digital democracy and DAOs.
LUK: Empowering Log Understanding with Expert Knowledge from Large Language Models
Venue: arXiv cs.SE 2025
Year: 2025

Logs play a critical role in providing essential information for system monitoring and troubleshooting. Recently, with the success of pre-trained language models (PLMs) and large language models (LLMs) in natural language processing (NLP), smaller PLMs (such as BERT) and LLMs (like GPT-4) have become the current mainstream approaches for log analysis. Despite the remarkable capabilities of LLMs, their higher cost and inefficient inference present significant challenges in leveraging the full potential of LLMs to analyze logs. In contrast, smaller PLMs can be fine-tuned for specific tasks even with limited computational resources, making them more practical. However, these smaller PLMs face challenges in understanding logs comprehensively due to their limited expert knowledge. To address the lack of expert knowledge and enhance log understanding for smaller PLMs, this paper introduces a novel and practical knowledge enhancement framework, called LUK, which acquires expert knowledge from LLMs automatically and then enhances the smaller PLM for log analysis with these expert knowledge. LUK can take full advantage of both types of models. Specifically, we design a multi-expert collaboration framework based on LLMs with different roles to acquire expert knowledge. In addition, we propose two novel pre-training tasks to enhance the log pre-training with expert knowledge. LUK achieves state-of-the-art results on different log analysis tasks and extensive experiments demonstrate expert knowledge from LLMs can be utilized more effectively to understand logs. Our source code and detailed experimental data are available at https://github.com/LeaperOvO/LUK.
