A Validation-Gated Mechanistic Account of Suicidality Detection in LLMs

Nafiz Ahmed, Sarah Sharif, Dingjing Shi +1

Large language models are increasingly proposed for mental-health applications such as detecting suicidal content, raising the question of what they rely on. We study this mechanis…

Brain-inspired spike-timing plasticity for reliable label-efficient event-camera vision

Mohamad Yazan Sadoun, Sarah Sharif, Yaser Mike Banad

Deploying event-camera object detectors is constrained by per-frame labeling requirements and GPU compute demands. This work introduces three local spike-timing-dependent plasticit…
