Annotation-free deep learning for detection and segmentation of fetal germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage in brain MRI

Background: Prenatal germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) is a leading cause of infant mortality and neurodevelopmental impairment. Manual diagnosis and lesion segmentation are labor-intensive and error-prone. Deep learning models offer potential for automation but typically require large annotated datasets, which are challenging to obtain. Purpose: To develop and validate an annotation-free deep learning framework for automated detection and segmentation of GMH-IVH on brain MRI. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 2D T2-weighted MRI data from pregnant women collected from October 2015 to October 2023 at one hospital (internal validation) and two hospitals (external validation). Eligible participants included healthy fetuses and those with GMH-IVH. FreeHemoSeg was developed and trained using pseudo GMH-IVH images synthesized from normal fetal data guided by medical priors. Primary outcomes included diagnostic accuracy (area under the ROC curve [AUROC], sensitivity, specificity) and segmentation accuracy (Dice similarity coefficient [DSC]). A reader study evaluated clinical utility. Results: A total of 1674 stacks from 558 pregnant women were analyzed. FreeHemoSeg achieved the highest performance in both internal (sensitivity: 0.914, 95% CI 0.869-0.945; specificity: 0.966, 95% CI 0.946-0.978; DSC: 0.559, 95% CI 0.546-0.571) and external validation (sensitivity: 0.824, 95% CI 0.739-0.885; specificity: 0.943, 95% CI 0.913-0.964; DSC: 0.512, 95% CI 0.497-0.526), outperforming supervised and unsupervised methods. FreeHemoSeg assistance improved radiologists' sensitivity (from 0.882 to 0.941-1.000) and diagnostic confidence while reducing interpretation time by 16.0-52.7%. Conclusion: FreeHemoSeg accurately detects and localizes fetal brain hemorrhages without annotated training data, enabling earlier diagnosis and supporting timely clinical management.

APIOT: Autonomous Vulnerability Management Across Bare-Metal Industrial OT Networks

Bare-metal operational technology (OT) devices -- especially the microcontrollers running Modbus/TCP and CoAP at the base of industrial control systems -- have remained outside the reach of autonomous security attacks. Prior autonomous pentesting studies target Linux and web systems, whose shells and filesystems are familiar to LLM agents. Bare-metal OT has neither, so agents must reason directly over protocol fields and parser semantics. This requires new action-space designs and runtime controls, and opens new research questions about protocol-level exploit reasoning and its deployment envelope. We present APIOT (Autonomous Purple-teaming for Industrial OT), the first large language model (LLM) framework demonstrating an autonomous attack and remediation of bare-metal OT devices, achieving the full discovery -> exploitation -> patching -> verification cycle without step-by-step human intervention. We implemented and evaluated this framework on Zephyr RTOS firmware across heterogeneous industrial IoT (IIoT) topologies. Through 290 experiment runs spanning five frontier LLMs, three network topologies, two impairment levels, and guided versus unguided conditions, APIOT achieved a mission success rate of 90.0% on the full attack-remediation cycle. We found that the runtime governance layer (which we call an overseer) is a critical engineering variable: without it, agents exhibit systematic degenerate patterns, including repetition loops, missing crash verification, and reconnaissance deadlocks. Together, these findings carry two implications beyond our testbed. Attacker expertise is no longer the binding constraint on bare-metal OT exploitation, and defender threat models must now assume LLM-augmented adversaries capable of executing autonomous discovery-through-remediation cycles against industrial firmware.

INFANiTE: Implicit Neural representation for high-resolution Fetal brain spatio-temporal Atlas learNing from clinical Thick-slicE MRI

Spatio-temporal fetal brain atlases are important for characterizing normative neurodevelopment and identifying congenital anomalies. However, existing atlas construction pipelines necessitate days for slice-to-volume reconstruction (SVR) to generate high-resolution 3D brain volumes and several additional days for iterative volume registration, thereby rendering atlas construction from large-scale cohorts prohibitively impractical. We address these limitations with INFANiTE, an Implicit Neural Representation (INR) framework for high-resolution Fetal brain spatio-temporal Atlas learNing from clinical Thick-slicE MRI scans, bypassing both the costly SVR and the iterative non-rigid registration steps entirely, thereby substantially accelerating atlas construction. Extensive experiments demonstrate that INFANiTE outperforms existing baselines in subject consistency, reference fidelity, intrinsic quality and biological plausibility, even under challenging sparse-data settings. Additionally, INFANiTE reduces the end-to-end processing time (i.e., from raw scans to the final atlas) from days to hours compared to the traditional 3D volume-based pipeline (e.g., SyGN), facilitating large-scale population-level fetal brain analysis.

Convergence Analysis of Data Augmentation Algorithms for Bayesian Robust Multivariate Linear Regression with Incomplete Data

Gaussian mixtures are commonly used for modeling heavy-tailed error distributions in robust linear regression. Combining the likelihood of a multivariate robust linear regression model with a standard improper prior distribution yields an analytically intractable posterior distribution that can be sampled using a data augmentation algorithm. When the response matrix has missing entries, there are unique challenges to the application and analysis of the convergence properties of the algorithm. Conditions for geometric ergodicity are provided when the incomplete data have a "monotone" structure. In the absence of a monotone structure, an intermediate imputation step is necessary for implementing the algorithm. In this case, we provide sufficient conditions for the algorithm to be Harris ergodic. Finally, we show that, when there is a monotone structure and intermediate imputation is unnecessary, intermediate imputation slows the convergence of the underlying Monte Carlo Markov chain, while post hoc imputation does not. An R package for the data augmentation algorithm is provided.

Electronic structure and correlations in planar trilayer nickelate Pr4Ni3O8

The recent discovery of superconductivity in hole-doped planar nickelates R1-xSrNiO2 (R=Pr,Nd) raises the foundational question of how the electronic structure and electronic correlations of these Ni1+ compounds compare to those of the Cu2+ cuprate superconductors. Here, we present an Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) study of the trilayer nickelate Pr4Ni3O8, revealing an electronic structure and Fermi surface very similar to that of the hole-doped cuprates but with a few critical differences. Specifically, the main portions of the Fermi surface are extremely similar to that of the bilayer cuprates, with an additional piece that can accommodate additional hole doping. We find that the electronic correlations are about twice as strong in the nickelates and are almost k-independent, indicating that they originate from a local effect-likely the Mott interaction, whereas the cuprate interactions are somewhat less local. Nevertheless, the nickelates still demonstrate an approximately linear in energy and linear in temperature scattering rate. Understanding the similarities and differences between these two related families of strongly-correlated novel superconductors is an important challenge.

Phonon Chirality Induced by Vibronic-Orbital Coupling

The notion that phonons can carry pseudo-angular momentum has become popular in the last decade, with recent research efforts highlighting phonon chirality, Berry curvature of phonon band structure, and the phonon Hall effect. When a phonon is resonantly coupled to a crystal electric field excitation, a so-called vibronic bound state forms. Here, we observe angular momentum transfer of $δ$Jz = $\pm$1$\hbar$ between phonons and an orbital state in a vibronic bound state of a candidate quantum spin liquid. This observation has profound implications for the engineering of phonon band structure topology through chiral quasiparticle interactions.

Any-Precision Deep Neural Networks

We present any-precision deep neural networks (DNNs), which are trained with a new method that allows the learned DNNs to be flexible in numerical precision during inference. The same model in runtime can be flexibly and directly set to different bit-widths, by truncating the least significant bits, to support dynamic speed and accuracy trade-off. When all layers are set to low-bits, we show that the model achieved accuracy comparable to dedicated models trained at the same precision. This nice property facilitates flexible deployment of deep learning models in real-world applications, where in practice trade-offs between model accuracy and runtime efficiency are often sought. Previous literature presents solutions to train models at each individual fixed efficiency/accuracy trade-off point. But how to produce a model flexible in runtime precision is largely unexplored. When the demand of efficiency/accuracy trade-off varies from time to time or even dynamically changes in runtime, it is infeasible to re-train models accordingly, and the storage budget may forbid keeping multiple models. Our proposed framework achieves this flexibility without performance degradation. More importantly, we demonstrate that this achievement is agnostic to model architectures and applicable to multiple vision tasks. Our code is released at https://github.com/SHI-Labs/Any-Precision-DNNs.

Van der Waals Epitaxy on Freestanding Monolayer Graphene Membrane by MBE

Research on two-dimensional materials has expanded over the past two decades to become a central theme in condensed matter research today. Significant advances have been made in the synthesis and subsequent reassembly of these materials using mechanical methods into a vast array of hybrid structures with novel properties and ever-increasing potential applications. The key hurdles in realizing this potential are the challenges in controlling the atomic structure of these layered hybrid materials and the difficulties in harnessing their unique functionality with existing semiconductor nanofabrication techniques. Here we report on high-quality van der Waals epitaxial growth and characterization of a layered topological insulator on freestanding monolayer graphene transferred to different mechanical supports. This templated synthesis approach enables direct interrogation of interfacial atomic structure of these as-grown hybrid structures and opens a route towards creating device structures with more traditional semiconductor nanofabrication techniques.

Few-Shot Open-Set Recognition using Meta-Learning

The problem of open-set recognition is considered. While previous approaches only consider this problem in the context of large-scale classifier training, we seek a unified solution for this and the low-shot classification setting. It is argued that the classic softmax classifier is a poor solution for open-set recognition, since it tends to overfit on the training classes. Randomization is then proposed as a solution to this problem. This suggests the use of meta-learning techniques, commonly used for few-shot classification, for the solution of open-set recognition. A new oPen sEt mEta LEaRning (PEELER) algorithm is then introduced. This combines the random selection of a set of novel classes per episode, a loss that maximizes the posterior entropy for examples of those classes, and a new metric learning formulation based on the Mahalanobis distance. Experimental results show that PEELER achieves state of the art open set recognition performance for both few-shot and large-scale recognition. On CIFAR and miniImageNet, it achieves substantial gains in seen/unseen class detection AUROC for a given seen-class classification accuracy.
