The tissues of the mammalian body span a broad range of regenerative capacity, from the highly regenerative liver to the minimal regenerative capabilities of the brain and the heart. We might speculate that the evolutionary road to a reduced capability of regeneration in the central nervous system results need to retain structure that stores memory. The heart incorporates a complex electrical system, and the need to retain the structure of this system may also place constraints on the level of regeneration that can take place following injury. Heart damage, such as that resulting from a heart attack and consequent transient loss of blood supply to regions of the heart, heals poorly, and is typically characterized by fibrosis that is disruptive to heart tissue structure and […]

arXiv:2610.10346v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Robotic minimally invasive surgery has revolutionized surgical practice. However, as the surgeons are mechanically separated from the surgical tools, loss of tactile feedback occurs. We present a compact force sensor with three, millimeter scale sensing elements (taxels) that can be affixed to the grasping face of a robotic surgical tool. The sensor features a miniaturized design using Hall effect sensors and magnets embedded in a deformable elastomer contact layer. Sensor calibration is achieved with a 6 degree of freedom (DoF) parallel robot. Each taxel can detect applied normal and shear forces with average RMSE of 2.133 kPa. The calibrated sensor was validated on phantom and ex vivo porcine tissue, demonstrating tactile sensing during retraction as well as slip. This work introduces a small-scale Hall effect based tactile sensor, enabling sensing for force-sensitive robotic surgical applications.

arXiv:2610.09702v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ordinary prompt-based editing can cause latent watermark detection to fail without explicitly targeting the watermark. We benchmark eight watermark methods against five editors across four generative backbones, four editing strengths, and five semantic categories, with edit-validity and threshold checks. Separating editing from seven subsequent distortions reveals that editing alone primarily distinguishes Tree-Ring, while added distortions expose a broader spectrum of detection survival. Sequential edits reveal a second hidden difference: score separation can decline while detection rates remain near their ceiling. Across methods, standardized clean score separation ($d'$) organizes composite-survival tiers, whereas spatial overlap adds little to predicting edit-only survival beyond clean detectability. Embedding-strength interventions in two methods link higher clean separation to higher post-edit separation. In HSTR, the margin

arXiv:2610.09558v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Drug target discovery requires distinguishing molecules that causally drive disease from those that are merely associated with it. Training and evaluating AI agents to perform this workflow end-to-end is difficult because real world biobanks lack known causal ground truth and participant-level data is access controlled. We introduce DrugTargetWorld, a framework that procedurally generates simulated biobanks, or "worlds," with known but concealed causal structure. Each world contains genotypes, proteins, health records, outcomes, and synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for 54,000 participants. Agents must construct a disease phenotype, identify causal driver proteins, infer the beneficial direction of modulation, and optionally conduct virtual 'wet lab' experiments. We evaluated nine agents in 540 episodes across 20 cardiovascular worlds and three experimental budgets. Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol achieved the highest mean composite

arXiv:2610.09211v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a recipe for adapting English-pretrained autoregressive TTS foundation models to underrepresented languages, demonstrated on Bangladeshi Bangla. Existing Bangla TTS corpora are small and single-speaker, and to our knowledge no open zero-shot voice-cloning system is available for the Bangladeshi register. We contribute a phonetically- and gender-balanced two-tier Bangladeshi Bangla corpus balanced via a tiered Jensen-Shannon divergence objective over conjunct clusters (juktakkhor), together with three fine-tuning changes: a merge-consistent tokenizer extension, Bangla text normalization, and a prompt-masked dual-loss objective. These changes preserve zero-shot cloning across the language switch. Our BanglaEval protocol applies Wilcoxon signed-rank tests with Bonferroni correction over native-speaker ratings.

arXiv:2610.09146v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) are usually frozen after deployment, so they do not learn from the cases they solve. This is especially concerning in medicine, where new clinical evidence, updated guidelines, and new therapies can change established practice. Fine-tuning can update the model, but it requires access to model weights and additional training. Parameter-free methods avoid training, but they may overfit a fixed validation set, lack reliable domain knowledge, or lose visual details by saving experience only as text. To address these limitations, we present a model-agnostic framework that allows frozen LLMs and VLMs to learn from deployment experience through three forms of external expertise: a Skill that guides reasoning and tool use, a Knowledge Memory that stores reliable facts supported by earlier cases or trusted external evidence, and a Multimodal Knowledge Base that keeps visual examples

arXiv:2610.09134v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Robot world models support policy evaluation, planning, and synthetic data generation, but these applications require predictions that distinguish successful actions from failures. Across four released checkpoints from two architecture families, we observe weak sensitivity to action changes and success-like predictions on verified failures. Although recent work incorporates failures into model training, which data can repair released checkpoints without changing their architecture or training objective still remains underexplored. To this end, we introduce CureWM, which constructs alternative actions from successful demonstrations across a severity grid, verifies their outcomes through execution in simulation or on hardware, and fine-tunes released models on the resulting failures and surviving successes alongside nominal demonstrations. This construction provides controlled action contrasts from shared starting contexts. On 484 held-out

Skeletal muscles are capable of regenerating themselves following an injury, a process that depends on muscle stem cells. In healthy resting muscle, these cells are predominantly in a quiescent state. However, following an injury, they are activated, begin to proliferate and subsequently start to develop into specialized skeletal muscle cells (differentiation). These cells then fuse with one another or with existing muscle fibers, generating new or repaired muscle fibers.

arXiv:2610.07449v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Which information tells a turbulent flow which way to cascade? We apply Haar-distributed Hermitian phases that retain prescribed same-mode quadratic information, including modal amplitudes, the energy spectrum, and same-mode two-time correlations. For the phase-Haar ensemble, the expectation of any integrable odd flux functional is zero. Finite ensembles strongly suppress mean transfer and forward-event bias in the primary block. An independent block retains sign separation but fails the scale-8 mean criterion. In matched evolution protocols, nonlinear Navier-Stokes dynamics restores the selected signed-flux scalar close to its natural reference, whereas linear evolution and an amplitude-matched frozen control do not. Flux and a local cubic geometry scalar recover together, yet high local correlation can survive erasure of the arrow. Signed transfer thus requires information beyond the retained quadratic record; the tested nonlinear

arXiv:2610.08736v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Identifying upstream regulators that connect several disease processes to therapeutic interventions is a central objective in Alzheimer's disease drug discovery. We propose an entropy-guided reverse-causal framework that makes candidate bottleneck genes the organizing link between disease mechanisms, pathways, molecular targets and drugs. The methodology integrates five stages: an Alzheimer's-specific knowledge graph with language-model assistance and expert review; reverse tracing from drugs to candidate genes; entropy-guided prioritization; forward propagation to drugs and complementary combinations; and staged validation with evidence feedback. The novelty lies in integrating upstream bottleneck identification, entropy-guided prioritization and iterative therapeutic selection within a dynamic, bidirectional discovery architecture. We demonstrate its molecular tracing and gene-prioritization components in a computational feasibility

arXiv:2610.08488v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper investigates whether regenerative impulsive braking can enhance passive energy harvesting in harmonically forced oscillators. An impulsive braking event directly extracts kinetic energy while simultaneously inducing a transient that alters subsequent passive harvesting. The analysis shows that suitably timed braking can produce a net energy gain over passive harvesting alone. The braking-induced transient is derived analytically and used to obtain an exact expression for the harvested-energy gain over an arbitrary finite post-braking horizon, together with conditions for positive gain and the optimal braking instant. The corresponding infinite-horizon analysis shows that optimal braking occurs at zero crossings of the harmonic excitation, with complete braking maximizing the gain. Numerical results further show that the finite-horizon harvested-energy gain can exceed its infinite-horizon value. Simulations using short-duration

arXiv:2610.08086v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The clinical integration of AI systems in digital dermatology relies heavily on human trust. Clinically interpretable visual concepts can act as intermediate representations enhancing trust and reliability. However, research in this domain is currently limited by scattered, heterogeneous dataset annotations. In this work, we introduce SkinLex, a harmonized dataset of 48 clinical morphological attributes across four public datasets (SkinCon, DermaCon-IN, MM-Skin, and PASSION) for a total of 20,411 records. Supervised nine-partition classification of skin conditions shows that limiting features to specific visual groups, like shapes or colors alone, reduces diagnostic accuracy. Bootstrapped backward elimination reveals that the set of 48 visual concepts has some degree of redundancy for algorithmic nine-partition diagnosis on the examined dataset. This demonstrates that coarse diagnosis on the selected dataset requires a relatively small

arXiv:2610.07420v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) signals drift over time, which can cause static brain-computer interface (BCI) models to degrade in practice. We present a benchmark for online adaptation and compare two widely used pipeline families, Common Spatial Patterns (CSP) and Riemannian covariance-based methods, under time-ordered prequential (test-then-train) evaluation. We examine (i) which pipelines benefit most from label-revealed updates, (ii) whether controlled forgetting of older data improves robustness, and (iii) how a minimal-calibration cold start compares with starting from a pretrained model. Across four datasets (three motor-imagery datasets and one movement-decoding dataset), label-revealed online updates improve 13 of 14 model/dataset pairs on the two largest streams, with relative accuracy gains of up to about 18% over a frozen model. A Shapley-based data-valuation analysis over temporal blocks assigns the largest mean value to the

arXiv:2610.07056v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Behavioral cloning (BC), despite its simplicity, exhibits many counterintuitive phenomena in the real world. For example, the performance of BC often keeps increasing as the model overfits more to the dataset, and fully closed-loop policies often completely fail without action chunking. Unfortunately, properly studying these anecdotal phenomena ("behavioral cloning mysteries") is challenging: in the real world, datasets and experiments are costly and not fully controllable; in simulation with synthetic data, these phenomena are often not easily observed partly due to the discrepancy between scripted policies and human demonstrations. In this work, we propose OCBench, a robotic manipulation benchmark with controllable scripted policies that have similar properties to human demonstrations. We show that, by mimicking key properties of human demonstrations, OCBench reproduces many anecdotal BC-related phenomena in controlled settings. With
