arXiv:2606.26146v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we introduce and study the notion of fuzzy normed BCK-algebras and fuzzy normed BCI-algebras as a natural extension of clas sical normed algebraic structures into the fuzzy setting. A fuzzy norm on a BCK/BCI-algebra is defined as a mapping from the algebra and a positive real parameter into the unit interval satisfying suitable axioms analogous to those of fuzzy normed linear spaces. Several examples are presented to illustrate the validity of the axioms. Fundamental properties of fuzzy normed BCK/BCI algebras are established, including monotonicity, chained triangle inequalities, and order-related behaviors. It is shown that every BCK/BCI-algebra admits a fuzzy norm, and the behavior of fuzzy norms under algebra homomorphisms is investigated. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the transfer of fuzzy norms via injective, surjective, and bijective homomorphisms. A charac terization theorem is proved showing

arXiv:2606.20605v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Background: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly used for health information, yet its influence on users' trust calibration remains unclear. Objective: This study examines whether learned dependency on GenAI influences trust in AI-generated health information and whether text highlighting reduces overreliance on incorrect outputs. Methods: Two randomized controlled experiments were conducted with 338 college students and 563 Amazon Mechanical Turk participants. Both experiments used a 2 by 2 between-subjects design manipulating information accuracy (correct versus incorrect) and text highlighting (highlight versus no highlight). Trust and learned dependency were measured using validated scales, and linear regression models tested main and interaction effects. Results: In both experiments, information accuracy significantly increased trust (p

arXiv:2606.27375v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce ABC, a fully open-source stack for manipulation with behavior cloning. At its core is ABC-130K: the largest open-source teleoperation dataset to date, featuring 3,500 hours of data spanning over 130K episodes across 195 diverse tasks. Furthermore, we open-source our accessible hardware setup, training infrastructure, and simulation pipeline. We also release 400 hours of sim-teleop data and provide a co-training recipe that produces correlated simulation and real-world evaluation, offering a reliable proxy for ablating model-design and training decisions before costly real-world evaluation. We explore various training recipes and compare common architectural choices for Diffusion Transformers (DiT) and Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, grounding our findings in real-world evaluations. The resulting policies successfully execute dexterous tasks such as box folding and extracting credit cards from wallets. By providing a

arXiv:2606.26951v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer promising avenues for cerebral palsy (CP) rehabilitation at home and in the clinic, using games that promote engagement and sustained training effort. Nonetheless, the design constraints of BCI-based CP rehabilitation remain unclear, especially how individuals with CP experience a sense of control through BCI, and how they experience computer-mediated game assistance. To address this gap, we present preliminary clinical and user perspectives on BCI-based CP rehabilitation, drawing on in-clinic insights from a CP therapist and experiential accounts from ten individuals with CP engaging with BCI game prototypes. Sporadic help in BCI games eased monotony, but also fostered doubts regarding agency. The therapist saw BCI rehabilitation as complementary to traditional training, facilitating the transition from playful exercises to autonomous, self-managed training. We outline key challenges and

arXiv:2606.26535v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current VLM evaluations often conflate language priors with genuine spatial reasoning. To address this, we introduce CRISP, a novel structural-diagnostic evaluation paradigm that assesses visual spatial intelligence through consistency, the alignment between implicit perception and explicit reasoning. Unlike traditional black-box QA, CRISP utilizes metric 3D Scene Graphs and an oracle intervention protocol to decouple latent reasoning capabilities from perceptual bottlenecks. This granular diagnosis uncovers a systematic perception-reasoning disconnect. Crucially, we reveal that while proprietary models possess robust latent reasoning engines, they suffer from inaccurate metric estimation and a critical failure to leverage their implicit structural representations. Conversely, open-source models remain fundamentally bottlenecked by their lack of multi-hop compositional reasoning. By shifting the focus from merely ``guessing correctly''

arXiv:2606.26494v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical AI remains organized around isolated models, whereas clinical care requires accountable capabilities that persist across time.

Using osteoporosis as an exemplar, we show how knowledge-driven, data-driven and physics-enhanced skills can support lifecycle care under runtime governance.

arXiv:2606.26205v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Patients increasingly seek medication information online, yet safety knowledge for psychiatric drugs is split between regulatory adverse-event records, which are authoritative but abstract, and patient narratives, which are experience-near but unvalidated. Integrating them without conflating evidence and anecdote is especially consequential in psychiatry, where poorly contextualised information can amplify fear, nocebo responses, and non-adherence. Here we develop a provenance-aware, knowledge-graph-based multi-agent framework unifying 466,525 Reddit posts, 60,782 WebMD reviews, and twenty years of U.S. FDA Adverse Event Reporting System records for nine antidepressants. A large-language-model entity-recognition pipeline benchmarked against physician annotations reached highest F1 scores of 0.969 for medications and 0.973 for conditions. The two community platforms were far more concordant with each other (overlap up to a Jaccard

arXiv:2606.26116v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A brand whose customers use both ChatGPT and Claude for product recommendations faces a strategic choice: a single optimization playbook, or one per provider? Across 215 commercially-framed prompts in four measurement batches, the two providers disagree on which brands they recommend roughly two-thirds of the time (cross-provider recommendation Jaccard 0.35, below the 0.50-0.61 same-prompt rerun baseline). The picks diverge. But when neither provider recommends a brand, we classify the failure into one of three modes -- discoverability (the brand never reaches the model), compellingness (it reaches the model but isn't mentioned), or positioning (it's mentioned but not recommended) -- and on 7,763 such joint failures, both providers diagnose the same failure mode 95.1% of the time (clustered 95% CI [94.3%, 95.7%]). Agreement rises monotonically with falling brand prominence, from 81% [78.2%, 84.0%] on category leaders to 99.6% [99.3%,

Researchers have for some years been casting a very broad net in terms of trying to understand how centenarians, people who survive to age 100 and beyond, are different from those who die at earlier ages. There is plenty of evidence for a fairly distinct biochemistry, such as better immune function and lesser degrees of chronic inflammation. Centenarians are still greatly impacted by the processes of aging, are frail, and exhibit a high mortality rate, so it is not a state to emulate, but it is hoped that this sort of research could help to better understand which aspects of aging are the most important in terms of driving declining function and rising mortality, and thus merit greater attention from the research community. Centenarians exhibit […]

arXiv:2606.25606v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Given the widespread prevalence of depression and its consequential impact on individuals and society, it is crucial to obtain objective measures for early diagnosis and intervention. As a multidisciplinary topic, these objective measures should be interpretable and accessible to health care professionals, ensuring effective collaboration and treatment planning in the realm of mental health care. Even though current automated depression diagnosis approaches improved over the last decade, a critical gap exists as they often lack affect-specificity and interpretability, limiting their practical application and potential impact on mental health care. In particular, interpretability from temporal activities from videos when deep models are used is not fully explored. In this study, we present a novel framework for analyzing Deep Neural Networks' decisions when trained on facial videos, specifically focusing on automatic depression severity

arXiv:2606.25272v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Code clone detection has been extensively studied for decades, and recent approaches have begun reporting remarkably high performance for semantic (Type-4) clones on benchmark datasets. However, it remains unclear whether these results reflect a genuine ability to capture semantic equivalence between programs, or simply an ability to exploit dataset-specific patterns. In this paper, we present the first systematic empirical study investigating the generalizability of state-of-the-art (SOTA) semantic code clone detectors beyond benchmark evaluation settings. Inspired by the inherent inclusion relationship among clone types, we propose a clone operator framework consisting of eight transformation operators derived from Type-2 and Type-3 clone variations. Using these operators, we construct distribution-shifted yet semantically equivalent Type-4 clone instances and evaluate 11 representative detectors spanning token-based, tree-based, and

Researchers here report on a novel a way to improve kidney regeneration following injury, using a technique that was developed as a treatment for an injured heart. It is interesting to consider whether it might work on other tissues as well. Perhaps more relevant is the question of whether the therapy would improve ongoing tissue maintenance in an aged organ in the absence of injury; that rather depends on the fine details of the biochemistry, and could go either way. A drug developed to help heart tissue repair itself after a heart attack might also help kidney tissue repair and regenerate, researchers have found. The drug, called AD-NP1, which was recently approved by the FDA for a Phase 1 clinical trial in humans, works in […]

The accumulation of senescent cells in aged tissues is harmful because these cells generate a potent mix of inflammatory signals known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype, disruptive to tissue structure and function when sustained over the long term. Researchers are interested in finding ways to selectively suppress this signaling, which involves better understanding the mechanisms that promote it. Here, researchers find a way in which senescent cells provoke the well studied cGAS-STING inflammatory pathway, a system that reacts to mislocalized or foreign DNA in the cell cytoplasm, via export of R-loop DNA structures from the cell nucleus. Cellular senescence contributes to inflammaging in part through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). R-loops, three-stranded nucleic acid structures, contribute to innate immune response in cancers; however, the role […]

arXiv:2606.24284v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper focuses on a control-based approach for enhancing the regenerative capabilities of hydraulic multi-actuator systems using individual metering valves. Thanks to this architecture, pressure and displacement of each actuator can be controlled nearly independently. By determining online, the right pressure to be driven, it enables the optimization of regenerative control strategies for resistive or driving forces. Globally, this control strategy behaves such as a load sensing approach but each metering valve is piloted in order to activate regenerative mode when it is allowable. The main contribution relies on optimizing the pressure to be controlled in each actuator and the main pump in order to maximize the regenerative capacity of a hydraulic machine while following a displacement. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is proved in simulation. Only a single pump line regeneration is explored here but extensions to
