arXiv:2609.30134v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural behavior cloning compresses demonstrations into large models, making individual actions difficult to trace and policy updates costly. Retrieval policies retain access to demonstrations but struggle with mismatch between recorded and live behavior. We introduce Behavior Predictive Control (BPC), which synthesizes policies without end-to-end policy training by combining an action-aware retrieval metric, a Hankel-based action-continuation prior, and a closed-form one-step residual correction. Inspired by behavioral systems theory, BPC predicts future actions by blending stored observation-action data that best reconstructs the recent runtime observation--action history. Across simulated benchmarks and real-robot deployments, BPC is competitive with learned policies such as $\pi_{0.5}$ (surpassing it in some cases), while reducing policy fitting from hours to seconds on consumer GPUs and supporting closed-loop control upwards of 75 Hz

arXiv:2609.29341v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Consumer-facing skincare AI must coordinate visual evidence, product information, tool use, and user-facing actions within explicit evidence and safety boundaries. This study evaluates SkinAgent AI, a non-diagnostic multimodal framework that combines visual concern routing with grounded and auditable LLM-based orchestration. The architecture includes routing for Acne, Pores, and Wrinkles; photograph-based skin-type estimation; count-informed ordinal acne-severity support; typed tools; database-grounded recommendation and action functions; deterministic safety, privacy, and evidence checks; approval before state-changing actions; and structured trace and replay mechanisms. Visual-model performance and system-level agent behavior were evaluated separately. Across three seeds, the skin-condition routing model achieved 99.84% +/- 0.07% accuracy. Skin-type estimation achieved 88.85% accuracy, while count-informed acne-severity support

arXiv:2609.29123v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In cross-lingual zero-shot text-to-speech, the accent of the reference leaks into the target speech. We propose accent analogy guidance (AAG), a training-free sampler term that subtracts an accent direction estimated from the model's own predictions for one synthetic voice rendered in both languages, so the voice cancels and only the accent remains. By a blind LLM accent judge on real dubbing data, reweighting classifier-free guidance between reference and text, and its variants, stay near one identity-accent trade-off curve; we score a method by its speaker similarity above that curve at equal accent ($\Delta$SIM). Across four open TTS models AAG lies above the curve: on OmniVoice $\Delta$SIM is +0.11 to +0.27 on three test sets (accent 3.51 to 4.28 on a 1-5 scale at speaker similarity 0.29, where reweighting keeps 0.02); MaskGCT and CosyVoice 2 also lie above their curves, and on F5-TTS it is more native than any reweighting setting.

More than 90% of children born with the rare bone marrow condition Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) survive beyond age 20. But fewer than 30% live beyond age 50. Long-term survival could improve if clinicians act on early signs of high risk, according to a study published, in The New England Journal of Medicine.

A study has raised a question that many women would understandably want answered: Could hormone replacement therapy (HRT) protect against dementia? The research found that women who had used HRT were less likely to receive a dementia diagnosis during follow-up, particularly if they had undergone surgery involving their reproductive organs. But the results do not establish that HRT caused the difference.

Scientists have known for years that neural activity in the brain's motor cortex doesn't just happen when people perform actions. Neurons associated with actions—reaching with a hand to grasp an object, for example—also fire when a person watches someone else perform an action. This observational activity, which underlies a concept known as "mirror neurons," may play a role in how humans and other primates learn to perform physical tasks.

When it comes to balancing hormonal changes during the transition to menopause, less can be more. Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil demonstrated this when testing an alternative to conventional therapy. Rather than replacing estrogen, the team activated only one type of estrogen receptor in cells. This approach had broad metabolic benefits without stimulating the growth of reproductive tissues, such as the uterus and breasts. That is important for individuals with a genetic predisposition to developing tumors.

At a time of rampant medical misinformation online, artificial intelligence can do a good job of correcting falsehoods, but the tone of the correction is key, according to new research led by Washington State University.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease in which motor neurons are gradually lost, leading to muscle weakness and, as the disease advances, difficulty breathing and swallowing. Existing medicines can slow disease progression to some extent, but no treatment has been established that fundamentally reverses the disease process. Mitochondrial dysfunction is considered a potential therapeutic target because mitochondria play a central role in cellular energy production and are frequently impaired in ALS.

As AI tools play an ever larger role in healthcare, one question remains: How will doctors get paid for using them?

arXiv:2609.27970v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Although the Heil--Ramanathan--Topiwala conjecture is false in full generality, its failure makes the classification of positive geometric and arithmetic regimes more urgent. We settle the critical mixed-arithmetic regime for four time-frequency shifts. For \(z=(x,\omega)\) and \(w=(y,\eta)\), set \(\sigma(z,w)=x\eta-y\omega\). Let \(u,v\in\R^2\) satisfy \(\lvert\sigma(u,v)\rvert=1\), write \(\nu=\alpha u+\beta v\), and assume that \(0,u,v,\nu\) are distinct. If \(\dim_{\Q}\operatorname{span}_{\Q}\{1,\alpha,\beta\}=2\) then, for every nonzero \(f\in L^2(\R)\), the vectors \(f,\pi(u)f,\pi(v)f,\pi(\nu)f\) are linearly independent. This includes both four-point configurations in Chris Heil's Conjecture~9.2. The proof first converts a putative dependence into a scalar cocycle over an irrational rotation. On a positive-measure family of zero-free fibres, winding and continued-fraction returns force the periodic holonomy to be constant. The

arXiv:2609.27774v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In a remarkable breakthrough, Faulhuber, Petersen, van Velthoven, and Voigtlaender disproved the Heil--Ramanathan--Topiwala conjecture by constructing twelve linearly dependent time--frequency shifts of a Schwartz function. The following day, the author compressed their vector-Zak and cohomological architecture to an explicit intrinsically subcritical four-point configuration, thereby attaining the minimum possible cardinality. Soon thereafter, Jasper and Mixon gave a transparent analytic refinement of the breakthrough mechanism and proved, for every Diophantine pair, that HRT counterexamples may be realized with windows in the Roumieu Gelfand--Shilov class $\mathcal S_1^1(\mathbb R)$; their theorem establishes the endpoint regularity phenomenon in broad arithmetic generality while leaving support cardinality unrestricted. The purpose of the present paper is to show that these two sharp advances can be attained simultaneously. We prove

arXiv:2609.27418v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Systematic reviews underpin clinical guidelines, yet their data-extraction step is a major expert-labor bottleneck bound by a protocolized workflow: two reviewers extract each study independently, an adjudicator resolves disagreements, and the team keeps an auditable record of how every value was produced. Large language models can assist with extraction, but that assistance must fit established review protocols and preserve reproducibility. We present EviStreams, a live, open-source, no-code web platform that puts review teams in control of AI-assisted extraction at three key stages: program design (a structured decomposition approved before any code runs), field specification (typed field definitions calibrated from a pilot), and extracted predictions (reviewer-blinded dual review with adjudication). Working through a form builder, a domain expert defines typed fields rather than prompts, runs extraction over uploaded PDFs, inspects

Many approaches to modestly slow aging in short-lived species involve a mild mitochondrial dysfunction that that somewhat increases the level of reactive oxygen species generated in the course of producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to power the cell. Reactive oxygen species react with and damage molecular machinery throughout the cell, damage that needs to be repaired. The cell reacts with an increase in repair and maintenance activities that address oxidative damage and other forms of damage, producing a net benefit to function. Here, researchers investigate one portion of how this response is regulated, looking at the metabolism of nematode worms. The reactive oxygen species superoxide is generated by mitochondria during the process of producing energy. While superoxide can cause oxidative damage to the cell, we and […]

The cGAS protein is a sensor for mislocalized DNA in the cell cytoplasm, and responds by triggering STING, a regulator of the inflammatory response to damage and dysfunction. The cGAS-STING interaction produces some fraction of the maladaptive chronic inflammation characteristic of aging, as, among other reasons, mitochondrial dysfunction tends to spill mitochondrial DNA fragments into the cell cytoplasm. Nothing in the cell has only one purpose, however, and cGAS is also involved in the regulation of the DNA damage response in the cell nucleus. It is known to inhibit homologous recombination of double strand breaks, for example. An examination of cGAS in different species suggests that different variants can aid or hinder late life health via their actions in either the DNA repair context or […]
