OnlineDecisionBasedVisualTrackingvia ReinforcementLearning
A deep visual tracker is typically based on either object detection or template matching while each of them is only suitable for a particular group of scenes. It is straightforward to consider fusing them together to pursue more reliable tracking. However, this is not wise as they follow different tracking principles.
Refine Medical Diagnosis Using Generation Augmented Retrieval and Clinical Practice Guidelines

-- Current medical language models, adapted from large language models (LLMs), typically predict ICD code - based diagnosis from electronic health records (EHRs) because these labels are readily available. However, ICD codes do not capture the nuanced, context - rich reasoning clinicians use for diagnosis. Clinicians synthesize diverse patient data and reference clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) to make evidence - based decisions. This misalignment limits the clinical utility of existing models. We introduce GARMLE - G, a Generation - Augmented Retrieval framework that grounds medical language model outp uts in authoritative CPGs. Unlike conventional Retrieval - Augmented Generation based approaches, GARMLE - G enables hallucination - free outputs by directly retrieving authoritative guideline content without relying on model - generated text. It (1) integrates LLM predictions with EHR data to create semantically rich queries, (2) retrieves relevant CPG knowledge snippets via embedding similarity, and (3) fuses guideline content with model output to generate clinically aligned recommendations. A prototype system for hypertension diagnosis was developed and evaluated on multiple metrics, demonstrating superior retrieval precision, semantic relevance, and clinical guideline adherence compared to RAG - based baselines, while maintaining a lightweight architecture suitable for localized healthcare deployment. This work provides a scalable, low - cost, and hallucination - free method for grounding medical language models in evidence - based clinical practice, with strong potential for broader clinical deployment.

As a fundamental task in healthcare, disease diagnosis refers to the process by which health professionals identify the most likely disease or disorder causing a patient's symptoms [3] .
Progressive Exploration-Conformal Learning for Sparsely Annotated Object Detection in Aerial Images
The ability to detect aerial objects with limited annotation is pivotal to the development of real-world aerial intelligence systems. In this work, we focus on a demanding but practical sparsely annotated object detection (SAOD) in aerial images, which encompasses a wider variety of aerial scenes with the same number of annotated objects.
