Longitudinal treatment selection under irreversible discontinuation: History-aware prediction and trajectory-aware learning in peanut-allergy prevention

15/10/2026 - Clinical decision-support systems that guide longitudinal treatment must determine not only which treatment is preferred, but also when the available evidence is sufficient to change course. This...

Diabetes study finds keeping blood sugar too steady may come at a price

28/09/2026 - People with diabetes reported better quality of life after days when their glucose stayed largely within a healthy range, even when levels fluctuated more than usual. The unexpected finding suggests...

Coffee doesn’t have to keep you awake to disrupt your sleep

22/09/2026 - Caffeine may make sleep less restorative even when you fall asleep normally and stay in bed for eight hours, with EEG recordings revealing fewer of the slow brain waves associated with deep sleep....

Theobroma cacao genome sequence reveals insights into flavonoid biosynthesis

22/09/2026 - Theobroma cacao is well known for its role in producing cacao. Many different cacao varieties are cultivated in equatorial regions, each distinguished by unique phenotypic traits. One of these traits...

Dynamic Hierarchical Interleaved Bloom Filter: An Updatable Index for Large-Scale Fast Sequence Search

30/08/2026 - Motivation: A continued decrease in sequencing costs has facilitated the exponential increase in available sequencing data, with public databases like the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) and...

Knee osteoarthritis isn’t inevitable — here’s what you can do

20/08/2026 - Knee osteoarthritis can seriously affect mobility and quality of life, but its progression isn’t completely out of your control. Exercise, stronger leg muscles, a healthier diet, and even modest...

VIDS-Seg: Towards Reliable Uncertainty Quantification in Pediatric Cardiac Ultrasound Segmentation

- Reliable clinical deployment of machine learning requires models that know when they are likely to fail, particularly for subgroups underrepresented in training data. A common case is pediatric care,...

VibeLifeBench: Can Your Life Agent Be Proactive and Persistent in a Living World?

- Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly deployed as personal assistants. Existing evaluations, however, mostly use short, self-contained requests in static environments. Everyday life...

Edge Phoneme Recognition for Children's Speech through Age-Aware Training

- Detecting phonemes from children's speech has historically been difficult due to the scarcity of training data, and unique characteristics of children's speech. During a phoneme detection...

Deep Multimodal Wearable Sensor Fusion for Detection of Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors

- Body-focused repetitive behaviors, such as hair pulling and skin picking, are compulsive motor actions commonly associated with obsessive-compulsive and anxiety disorders. Their early, objective...

ITO: Real-time Browser Tab Orchestration Through Intent Detection

- People routinely interleave activities while browsing the web, often simultaneously and with overlapping boundaries. Yet organizational primitives in modern browsers treat every tab uniformly,...

On-Device Multi-Species Malaria Detection with Uncertainty-Calibrated Slide-Level Aggregation

- Malaria remains a leading cause of mortality in resource-limited settings, where expert microscopists are scarce. Automated diagnosis based on microscopy images thus has strong potential to improve...

The Missing Link of XR: Empathy-Driven Reality for XR and Beyond

- Extended reality (XR) for socialising is becoming increasingly popular. However, unlike conventional social platforms, XR prioritises embodiment and immersion, factors that strongly impact one's...

Catch the Patient, Not the AI: Collective Sensemaking in an Online Health Community

- Patients and caregivers increasingly use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to interpret medical reports, weigh care decisions, and seek emotional support. Yet most research treats patient-facing AI...

An IMU Dataset for Human Activity Recognition to Support Independent Living in Smart Homes (IMU-HAR-IL)

- This document introduces HAR-IMU-IL, a dataset developed for human activity recognition (HAR) using inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors within a smart home environment with a focus to support...

EmoPatient: An Emotion-Directed Patient Simulator for Realistic Palliative Care Communication Training

- Effective communication during palliative care discussions is a critical clinical skill, yet training clinicians to manage complex patient emotions remains challenging. Large language model...

A foundation-model approach to pediatric headache classification from rs-fMRI

- Headache is the most common neurological disorder in children and substantially affects quality of life. We investigated whether resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) can support pediatric headache...

RECAST: A Region-Scoped Adaptive Index for Exact Similarity Search

- Similarity search in metric spaces is widely used in bioinformatics, data mining, and recommender systems. Exact similarity search is dominated by distance computations, while real query streams...

Octo's Adventure: At-home Deployment of a Pediatric Education Tool

- Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and their families often navigate educational, emotional, and communication challenges regarding care management outside clinical settings. However, many...

Flaky Test Recognition when Testing CPSs Using Hybrid Models

- Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) have many applications, ranging from simple thermostat systems to autonomous driving systems and medical devices. Like all systems, they need to function correctly. To...
