An adaptive superconvergent mixed finite element method for exactly symmetric linear elasticity based on local residual minimization

Ernesto Cáceres, Patrick Vega

We introduce an a posteriori error estimator for exactly symmetric mixed finite element discretizations of linear elasticity, based on recasting a Stenberg-type postprocessing sche…

Grad-CAM for Vision Transformers: A Systematic Taxonomy and Audit of Methodological Ambiguity in Explainable AI

Casey Wall, Longwei Wang, Rodrigue Rizk +1

Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) is widely used to visualize model decisions, but it was originally formulated for convolutional neural networks, where spatial…

CausalGate: Causal Importance Distillation for Transformer Module Pruning

Kiran Nair, Smriti Regmi, Rodrigue Rizk

Existing adaptive inference methods for Large Language Models rely on observational heuristics, such as hidden-state similarity or activation magnitudes, to drop redundant modules.…

GetNetUPAM: Ecologically Informed Nested Cross-Validation and Noise-Robust Attention for Marine Bioacoustic Monitoring

Nicholas R. Rasmussen, Rodrigue Rizk, Longwei Wang +1

Deploying reliable bioacoustic monitoring systems requires models that generalize under high-noise, low-SNR conditions and evaluation protocols that expose deployment-relevant fail…

Uncertainty-Aware LLM-Guided Policy Shaping for Sparse-Reward Reinforcement Learning

Ujjwal Bhatta, Utsabi Dangol, Sumaly Bajracharya +2

Sparse rewards and heterogeneous task sequences remain persistent challenges in Reinforcement Learning (RL), often resulting in slow convergence, weak generalization, and inefficie…

Robust and Clinically Reliable EEG Biomarkers: A Cross Population Framework for Generalizable Parkinson's Disease Detection

Nicholas R. Rasmussen, Longwei Wang, Rodrigue Rizk +5

Developing robust and clinically reliable EEG biomarkers requires evaluation frameworks that explicitly address cross population generalization in multi site settings such as Parki…
