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...

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...

Long-Term Mortality Following STN-DBS in Parkinson's Disease: A Survival Analysis

- Background: Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) is an established PD treatment that improves motor symptoms and quality of life, but long-term survival and mortality risk...

Statistical Considerations in Long COVID Research

- Long COVID is a condition characterized by ongoing or relapsing symptoms attributable to SARS-CoV-2 infection that are present three or more months after infection. It represents a major clinical and...

Homebot: A Personal AI Agent for Conversational Home Assistance and Automation

- \texttt{Homebot} is a locally deployable AI agent for conversational household assistance and automation. It accepts voice and instant-messaging requests through a shared runtime that combines...

EntailLLM: Verifying LLM-Generated Vulnerability Discovery Paths with Domain Knowledge via Logic Programming

- Large language models are increasingly used to reason about software vulnerabilities, but their outputs can silently violate domain knowledge, limiting their reliability in safety-critical settings...

Supporting Cybersecurity Risk Management for Medical Devices via the SECUMAN Ontology and Shapes

- We propose the SECUMAN ontology and shapes for representing and analysing cybersecurity risk-management documentation for medical devices. Cybersecurity risks are increasingly relevant for connected...

Machines that know they are aging: a framework for hardware-aware autonomous intelligence

- Autonomous systems inevitably age, yet their artificial intelligence typically assumes hardware remains in its original condition. Batteries degrade, sensors drift, processors accumulate timing...

Clinical Pathways as Safety Specifications for Physical AI in Hospital Wards

- Ensuring safety in Physical AI systems operating in real-world environments is a critical challenge, particularly in hospital wards where vulnerable patients, clinical staff, medical devices, and...

Rethinking Feature Reliance Evaluation with Semantically Matched Suppression
