Abstract

Wrist-worn IMU has been widely used for daily-life health monitoring. Yet, it does not fully represent whole-body dynamics, for which the body center of mass (COM) is considered the physiological reference standard. Therefore, this work proposes a simplified kinematic model (KM), which is designed to map the wrist IMU to the COM acceleration. It is built upon several reductive assumptions that enable the solvability of the dynamic equations based on wrist IMU measurements alone. This work further proposes three types of hybrid AI modeling methods, namely human kinematic model-based neural network (HKM-NN) models, to leverage the power of both grey-box and black-box modeling. The HKM-NN methods include serial learning (ser-) and two approaches of simultaneous learning (sim1- and sim2-). The proposed models are trained and tested using our dataset, which includes wrist IMU measurements and ground-truth COM measurements from 10 healthy volunteers during six gait activities and sit-to-stand (SS) transitional movement. The results demonstrate the feasibility of estimating COM acceleration from wrist IMU measurements. Our KM model yields satisfactory results, with an error ranging from 6.7% to 12.5% for gait activities and 5.6% for the SS. In comparison with the KM model, our HKM-NN models significantly enhance the performance, achieving 5.3% to 9.3% errors for gait activities, and the best error of 3.9% for the SS. In addition, the HKM-NN models demonstrate distinct robustness characteristics under noisy test conditions, with sim1-/sim2- generally maintaining greater robustness under Gaussian perturbations, while the KM model exhibits comparatively strong robustness under salt-and-pepper noise. These findings highlight the importance of combining biomechanical structure with data-driven learning for wearable sensing applications operating under imperfect and noisy measurement conditions.

Collab-Solver: Collaborative Solving Policy Learning for Mixed-Integer Linear Programming

Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) has been a fundamental problem in combinatorial optimization. Conventional MILP solving mainly relies on carefully designed heuristics embedded in the branch-and-bound framework. Driven by the strong capabilities of neural networks, recent research is exploring the value of machine learning alongside conventional MILP solving. Although learning-based MILP methods have shown great promise, existing works typically learn policies for individual modules in MILP solvers in isolation, without considering their interdependence, which limits both solving efficiency and solution quality. To address this limitation, we propose Collab-Solver, a novel multi-agent-based policy learning framework for MILP that enables collaborative policy optimization for multiple modules. Specifically, we formulate the collaboration between cut selection and branching in MILP solving as a Stackelberg game. Under this formulation, we develop a two-phase learning paradigm to stabilize collaborative policy learning: the first phase performs data-communicated policy pretraining, and the second phase further orchestrates the policy learning for various modules. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and large-scale real-world MILP datasets demonstrate that the jointly learned policies significantly improve solving performance. Moreover, the policies learned by Collab-Solver have also demonstrated excellent generalization abilities across different instance sets.

Fact Grounded Attention: Eliminating Hallucination in Large Language Models Through Attention Level Knowledge Integration

"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge." Large Language Models have conquered natural language but remain prisoners of their own probabilistic nature--confidently hallucinating facts they never truly knew. We present Fact Grounded Attention (FGA), a novel architectural modification that transforms unreliable language models into deterministic truth tellers by injecting verifiable knowledge directly into the attention mechanism. Unlike existing approaches that patch hallucinations after generation or prepend retrieved text, FGA intervenes at the mathematical heart of the transformer--the pre-softmax attention scores--creating a model that cannot hallucinate when facts exist in its knowledge base. Our experiments across 1,107 technical queries spanning smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles demonstrate a transformation from 6.3% accuracy in vanilla Llama 3.2 to 99.7% accuracy with FGA. More critically, knowledge updates occur in under one second without retraining, compared to hours for parameter editing approaches. FGA doesn't just reduce hallucination--it eliminates it entirely for verifiable facts, marking a fundamental shift from probabilistic approximation to deterministic precision in neural language generation.

MemeLens: Multilingual Multitask VLMs for Memes

Memes are a dominant medium for online communication and manipulation because meaning emerges from interactions between embedded text, imagery, and cultural context. Existing meme research is distributed across tasks (e.g., \textit{hate, misogyny, propaganda, sentiment, humour}) and languages, which limits cross-domain generalization. To address this gap, we propose \textsc{MemeLens}, a unified multilingual, multitask explanation-enhanced Vision-Language Model (VLM) for meme understanding. We consolidate $38$ public meme datasets, filter and map dataset-specific labels into a shared taxonomy of $20$ tasks spanning harm, targets, figurative/pragmatic intent, and affect. We present a comprehensive empirical analysis across modeling paradigms, task categories, and datasets. Our findings suggest that robust meme understanding requires multimodal training, varies substantially across semantic categories, and remains sensitive to over-specialization when models are fine-tuned on individual datasets rather than trained in a unified setting. We make the experimental resources (https://github.com/MohamedBayan/MemeLens), model (https://huggingface.co/QCRI/MemeLens-VLM) and datasets (https://huggingface.co/datasets/QCRI/MemeLens) publicly available to the community.
