arXiv:2609.33795v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Hydrogen-diesel dual-fuel (H2DF) combustion engines offer a promising pathway for decarbonising hard-to-electrify transport sectors, yet their highly nonlinear dynamics and coupled process variables demand constraint-aware control strategies. Model Predictive Control (MPC) meets these requirements but requires an online optimisation in every combustion cycle, which limits deployment on low-cost embedded hardware. This paper trains a feedforward deep neural network (DNN) by behaviour cloning (BC) to imitate an MPC expert, using 86,000 engine cycles of demonstration data collected at 1500 min-1 on a modified Cummins QSB 4.5-litre hydrogen dual-fuel engine. Two variants, one with process feedback and one without, are validated experimentally. Both track unseen fast-transient load steps (3-8 bar indicated mean effective pressure, IMEP) with normalised root mean square error (NRMSE) values of 7.80% and 9.03% against the expert's 8.01%,

arXiv:2610.37533v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Failure diagnosers for robot manipulation are increasingly vision--language models (VLMs), trained and evaluated on single-arm failures produced by perturbing a successful demonstration. Bimanual tool use adds failures of other kinds: a tool that slips out of its socket while still held, two correct gestures made at different times, and attempts that fail for two reasons at once. On a simulated bimanual tool-use task whose failure causes are read from the recorded trace, we measure what each sensing channel lets a diagnoser tell. The tool's slip is read on the tool hand; which hand was late is read on both arms, while a sensor on one hand reads its own hand's delay and at most part of the other's; and whether a late attempt was also pushed too weakly is not identifiable from passive sensing when the tool hand is late. Within two attempts, a repair policy that escalates when the cause is not identifiable repairs as many failures as one

arXiv:2610.36852v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Robot foundation models may generalize across tasks and embodiments, but their actions still depend on sensors that can fail. When the policy is frozen or inaccessible, can an external monitor diagnose and repair corrupted inputs without access to its internals? We test a structured surrogate that separates periodic gait from sensor-dependent corrections to guide input repair around a frozen locomotion policy. On simulated Go2, offline diagnosis raises walking success from 259/640 to 429/640 episodes; online repair reaches 382/640, with no triggers in 64 held-out fault-free episodes. A matched boosted-tree surrogate predicts clean actions similarly well but yields no detected repair improvement over no repair. Separate fits improve walking on Go1 and ANYmal C, although phase-aware gradients perform better. Evidence remains limited to one policy and a partly screened simulated fault suite; robot foundation model and hardware validation

arXiv:2610.36247v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Offline-to-online reinforcement learning uses offline pretraining to accelerate subsequent online learning. While many methods assume the offline dataset remains available throughout fine-tuning, there are many settings where this is not the case. Prior work attributes failures in this setting primarily to critic recalibration under distribution shift. We identify a complementary actor-side failure: once the offline data disappears, continued behavioral cloning (BC) no longer preserves the offline behavior distribution and instead refits the behavioral model to the agent's limited, and nonstationary, online experience. We demonstrate that stopping online behavioral fitting while preserving the pretrained expressive prior substantially improves no-retention fine-tuning across implicit flow Q-learning (IFQL), flow Q-learning (FQL), and action-chunked RL (QC) on seven OGBench domains. We trace this failure to a behavioral feedback loop:

Senescent cells accumulate with age to drive the onset and progression of age-related disease and loss of function. Over the past decade, a broad range of research and development efforts have emerged to attempt to address this cause of aging. Senostatic therapies reduce the pace at which senescent cells are created. Senolytic therapies selectively destroy senescent cells. Senomorphic therapies suppress aspects of the harmful behavior of senescent cells, principally the pro-inflammatory signaling that contributes to the chronic inflammation of aging and is disruptive to tissue structure and function. Researchers here describe the discovery of a senomorphic microRNA in the context of an attempt to reduce the burden of senescent cells generated by cancer therapy. Many forms of cancer treatment leave the patient with increased numbers […]

arXiv:2610.35678v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In observational survival studies, delayed treatment initiation can induce immortal time bias in effect estimation when treatment groups are defined by future uptake. Despite originating from distinct predictive or causal inference paradigms, time-dependent approaches (e.g. the time-dependent Cox model, landmark supermodel, multi-state model, and g-formula) are often treated as interchangeable in applied research when addressing immortal time bias. These models effectively reclassify person-time according to time-varying exposure, yet the interpretation of their target estimands depends on assumptions about the underlying disease process and clinically relevant time scales. We study effect estimation for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation under baseline intention-to-transplant strategies in acute myeloid leukemia (i.e. transplantation is planned for a prespecified time, subject to the patient's eligibility), within a

arXiv:2610.35508v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Single-cell CRISPR screens run in many cell types are used to compare how cell types respond to perturbation, to train models that transfer effects between them and to score such models. These uses assume that cells carrying a guide RNA had their target knocked down. Yet cells grow for days before sequencing: when an essential gene is knocked down, knocked-down cells are depleted or stop dividing while cells that escaped knockdown keep growing, and the measured response, an average over all cells carrying the guide, is diluted. We define the escape fraction of a perturbation as the share of its measured cells whose target was not effectively knocked down, and estimate it from each cell's counts of the targeted gene with a two-group mixture that recovers known fractions in simulated mixtures. In most cell types the escape fraction rises with how essential the gene is, it is higher in a later screen of the same cells, and it reaches about

arXiv:2610.33003v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Given the challenges of pharmaceutical development, there is increasing interest in computational approaches for identifying novel drug targets. Transcriptomics technologies enable the analysis of disease mechanisms at unprecedented resolution, while spatially resolved platforms further preserve the spatial organization of cells within tissues, allowing analysis to focus on specific regions of disease localization. To derive actionable therapeutic targets from these data, it is necessary to identify mechanisms that recur across a population rather than those observed in individual patients, which requires integrated analysis across disease conditions and donor cohorts. Here, we present the groundwork for an AI co-scientist framework for the sequential analysis of multi-batch spatial transcriptomics data that integrates interpretable mathematical models, including optimal transport, tensor factorizations, and topological data analysis,

arXiv:2610.35294v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While climate change disproportionately impacts African public health, AI predictive modeling remains heavily constrained. Using a Synthetic Knowledge Synthesis approach and VOSviewer, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of Scopus-indexed literature, comparing Global and African corpora. Network analysis reveals stark divergences: global research emphasizes complex, predictive models for planetary health, whereas African research focuses on localized, reactive solutions for immediate infectious disease triage. Severe structural barriers in Africa, including compute deficits, data silos, and energy instability, hinder advanced AI scaling. Ultimately, international funding must shift from siloed pilot projects toward building foundational digital infrastructure and localized AI frameworks.

arXiv:2610.34408v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While recent advances in text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis have substantially improved speech quality and modeling flexibility, the development of lightweight and computationally efficient systems remains comparatively underexplored. We present LeanTTS, a bilingual complete synthesis stack that supports two complementary regimes: reference-prompt zero-shot cloning for unseen speakers and token-conditioned customization for recurring voices. LeanTTS combines a compact Mandarin polyphone front end, a structurally compressed flow-matching acoustic model, and a lightweight Vocos decoder with four-step MeanFlow generation. The resulting system contains 18.9M learned parameters, 86.12% fewer than the 136.2M-parameter ZipVoice-Vocos pipeline. On Seed-TTS-Eval, its zero-shot mode obtains 2.02 CER/62.3 SIM on Mandarin and 2.32 WER/48.3 SIM on English, exposing the quality-size trade-off under aggressive compression.

arXiv:2610.33931v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: "Why is my period late?" Sometimes, the most useful response begins with another question. Yet conversational AI systems may respond to incomplete health queries without seeking essential context or grounding their guidance in verifiable evidence. This paper introduces HerHealthGPT, an evidence-grounded conversational AI system designed to address these challenges in women's reproductive health. HerHealthGPT integrates retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), context-aware clarification, and source validation within an interactive web interface. Rather than responding immediately to incomplete queries, the system maintains conversational context, asks targeted follow-up questions, checks for premature conclusions, and grounds its responses in retrieved evidence. We evaluate the AI components using 540 English messages derived from 90 reproductive-health cases and conduct a prototype questionnaire study with 30 adults. Evidence retrieval

arXiv:2610.33355v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Molecular cloning is one of the most routine wet-lab workflows, yet existing evaluations of language models in biology mostly test knowledge recall or isolated steps rather than end-to-end experimental planning. We introduce BenchBench-Cloning, a benchmark for large language models comprising 65 molecular cloning tasks grounded in sequence records, laboratory notebooks, and published experimental studies. Planning a molecular cloning experiment requires defining a set of constructs needed for a scientific objective and a construction route to produce them. BenchBench-Cloning contains 50 protocol-development tasks, in which agents produce an executable protocol for a specified construct, and 15 construct-design tasks, in which agents determine the constructs a scientific objective calls for. Protocol-development tasks are evaluated by execution in a cloning simulator; construct-design tasks are evaluated with task-specific deterministic

arXiv:2610.33198v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A neural classifier can fail completely inside a layered defense without any end-to-end number moving. We demonstrate this on BARBICAN, a fail-closed gateway for language-model tool mediation whose arbitration stage spent an entire recorded evaluation receiving text mangled by a misconfigured tokenizer. Correcting the misconfiguration lifts that stage's corpus-wide area under the ROC curve (AUC) from 0.392 to 0.855 and pushes system recall down, from 80.67% to 80.34%; a stub that answers "malicious" scores 80.77%, higher than either. The reason emerges once the stage's input distribution is examined: upstream routing hands it a band that is 96.82% malicious, and the enforcement design lets an incriminating verdict block while an exculpating one releases an input only through one narrow branch. Yet deleting it costs 673 detections. Substituting its verdict with a constant instead moves between 12 and 140 of 25,000 decisions. Transplanted
