The streaming rollout maximizes these properties and enables a fully parallel execution of the network reducing runtime on massively parallel devices.

Analyzing the motion of multiple biological agents, be it cells or individual animals, is pivotal for the understanding of complex collective behaviors. With the advent of advanced microscopy, detailed images of complex tissue formations involving multiple cell types have become more accessible in recent years. However, deciphering the underlying rules that govern cell movements is far from trivial.

The reforms, which amend the AI Act and several other privacy and tech-related laws, would also cut back on website pop-ups asking permission to use cookies and reduce documentation requirements for small and medium-sized businesses. EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen said the changes, which need to be approved by representatives of the 27 EU member states, would boost European competitiveness by simplifying rules about AI, cybersecurity and data protection. "We have talent, infrastructure, a large internal single market. But our companies, especially our start-ups and small businesses, are often held back by layers of rigid rules," Virkkunen said. Lobby groups for tech giants in the United States, where President Donald Trump's administration has been a vocal critic of Europe's regulatory approach, welcomed the move, while lamenting that the measures did not go far enough.

Data serves as the fundamental basis for advancing deep learning.

Evaluating Large Language Models' (LLMs) anthropomorphic capabilities has

These observations suggest that monocular 3D object detection heavily relies on object depth quality; nevertheless, conventional methods yield unsatisfactory results due to the extraction of less-discriminative features for object depth inference.

Privacy has nowadays become a major concern in large-scale data processing. Releasing seemingly harmless statistics of a dataset could unexpectedly leak sensitive information of individuals (see e.g.

The central task of interpretability research is to explain the functions that AI systems learn from data. Investigating these functions requires experimentation with trained models, using tools that incorporate varying degrees of human input. Hand-tooled approaches that rely on close manual inspection [Zeiler and Fergus, 2014, Zhou et al., 2014, Mahendran and V edaldi, 2015, Olah et al., 2017, 2020, Elhage et al., 2021] or search for predefined phenomena [Wang et al., 2022, Nanda

Data-driven methods for electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation are rapidly progressing. Large datasets have enabled advances in artificial intelligence (AI) based ECG analysis, yet limitations in annotation quality, size, and scope remain major challenges. Here we present CODE-II, a large-scale real-world dataset of 2,735,269 12-lead ECGs from 2,093,807 adult patients collected by the Telehealth Network of Minas Gerais (TNMG), Brazil. Each exam was annotated using standardized diagnostic criteria and reviewed by cardiologists. A defining feature of CODE-II is a set of 66 clinically meaningful diagnostic classes, developed with cardiologist input and routinely used in telehealth practice. We additionally provide an open available subset: CODE-II-open, a public subset of 15,000 patients, and the CODE-II-test, a non-overlapping set of 8,475 exams reviewed by multiple cardiologists for blinded evaluation. A neural network pre-trained on CODE-II achieved superior transfer performance on external benchmarks (PTB-XL and CPSC 2018) and outperformed alternatives trained on larger datasets.

This technical report investigates the performance of pre-trained audio models on COVID-19 detection tasks using established benchmark datasets. We fine-tuned Audio-MAE and three PANN architectures (CNN6, CNN10, CNN14) on the Coswara and COUGHVID datasets, evaluating both intra-dataset and cross-dataset generalization. We implemented a strict demographic stratification by age and gender to prevent models from exploiting spurious correlations between demographic characteristics and COVID-19 status. Intra-dataset results showed moderate performance, with Audio-MAE achieving the strongest result on Coswara (0.82 AUC, 0.76 F1-score), while all models demonstrated limited performance on Coughvid (AUC 0.58-0.63). Cross-dataset evaluation revealed severe generalization failure across all models (AUC 0.43-0.68), with Audio-MAE showing strong performance degradation (F1-score 0.00-0.08). Our experiments demonstrate that demographic balancing, while reducing apparent model performance, provides more realistic assessment of COVID-19 detection capabilities by eliminating demographic leakage - a confounding factor that inflate performance metrics. Additionally, the limited dataset sizes after balancing (1,219-2,160 samples) proved insufficient for deep learning models that typically require substantially larger training sets. These findings highlight fundamental challenges in developing generalizable audio-based COVID-19 detection systems and underscore the importance of rigorous demographic controls for clinically robust model evaluation.
