Trend strength predicts when generative foundation models win: a power-controlled benchmark, a mechanism, and an actionable selection rule

Ahmed Cherif

Pretrained generative foundation models cast forecasting as conditional generation from a learned predictive distribution and forecast unseen series zero-shot. We establish three r…

AgentMemBench: A Systematic Benchmark for Evaluating Long-Term Memory Management Strategies in Conversational AI Agents

Ahmed Cherif

Long-term memory remains a critical bottleneck for conversational AI agents, whose finite context windows cannot support coherent recall across thousands of turns. We present Agent…

BFORE: Butterfly-Firefly Optimized Retinex Enhancement for Low-Light Image Quality Improvement

Ahmed Cherif

Low-light images suffer from poor visibility, noise, and color distortion. Existing Retinex-based enhancement methods rely on manually tuned parameters that do not generalize acros…

MSMixer: Learned Multi-Scale Temporal Mixing with Complementary Linear Shortcut for Long-Term Time Series Forecasting

Ahmed Cherif

Long-term time series forecasting requires models that simultaneously capture rapid oscillations, medium-range periodicities, and slowly evolving macro-trends from a fixed look-bac…
