UAV-ESPrune: Evidence-Aware Visual Token Pruning for UAV Vision-Language Reasoning

Low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) require compact multimodal inference for perception, environment understanding, and planning-oriented reasoning. Vision-language models (VLMs) provide a shared interface for these tasks, but long visual-token sequences increase language-model prefill computation, sequence-de...

Effects of structured exercise on executive function across childhood, adolescence, and later life: a systematic review and three-level meta-analysis examining exercise skill characteristics

Background Structured exercise may benefit executive function across childhood, adolescence, and later life, but whether effects vary by executive-function domain, developmental stage, or qualitative exercise characteristics remains uncertain. Methods We conducted a systematic review and three-level meta-analysis of ra...

A Dual-Stage Vision–Language Framework for Dental Report Generation

Panoramic dental radiographs are routinely used for diagnosis and treatment planning, yet their interpretation remains time-consuming and highly dependent on clinical expertise. Although Vision–Language Models (VLMs) have shown promising capabilities for medical report generation, their application to dental radiology...

Rewriting Text for a Sign Language Avatar with Several Hundred Signs, What It Saves in Fingerspelling and What It Costs in Meaning

Some sign language avatars work like a phrase book. They play a recorded sign for each word in their dictionary and fingerspell the other meaningful words, such as nouns, verbs and names, spelling them letter by letter with the hand alphabet, which takes longer than signing. This paper measures how much an Internationa...

Few-shot email spam detection for low-resource languages: A setFit-based approach on Turkish and English datasets

Email spam detection in English has been studied extensively under full supervision, but for low-resource languages such as Turkish the largest public dataset is more than an order of magnitude smaller, and every existing Turkish spam detector assumes full supervision. This study asks whether spam can be detected from...

Answerability-Aware Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Enterprise Helpdesk Question Answering: An Empirical Study of Similarity Thresholds and Grounding Strategies

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems can improve question answering by grounding large language model responses in external documents. However, enterprise deployments require not only relevant answers but also reliable abstention when the available knowledge base lacks sufficient evidence. This study investigat...

Understanding Cross‑Lingual Model Behavior in Mental Health NLP: Evidence from English–Bengali Transformer Models

Abstract Understanding how machine learning models interpret mental health expressions across languages is essential for developing reliable, inclusive computational mental health systems. While transformer-based models have shown strong performance in English-language mental health detection, their interpretability an...
