Gravitational-wave (GW) parameter estimation typically assumes that instrumental noise is Gaussian and stationary. Obvious departures from t… (voir plus)his idealization are typically handled on a case-by-case basis, e.g., through bespoke procedures to ``clean'' non-Gaussian noise transients (glitches), as was famously the case for the GW170817 neutron-star binary. Although effective, manipulating the data in this way can introduce biases in the inference of key astrophysical properties, like binary precession, and compound in unpredictable ways when combining multiple observations; alternative procedures free of the same biases, like joint inference of noise and signal properties, have so far proved too computationally expensive to execute at scale. Here we take a different approach: rather than explicitly modeling individual non-Gaussianities to then apply the traditional GW likelihood, we seek to learn the true distribution of instrumental noise without presuming Gaussianity and stationarity in the first place. Assuming only noise additivity, we employ score-based diffusion models to learn an empirical noise distribution directly from detector data and then combine it with a deterministic waveform model to provide an unbiased estimate of the likelihood function. We validate the method by performing inference on a subset of GW parameters from 400 mock observations, containing real LIGO noise from either the Livingston or Hanford detectors. We show that the proposed method can recover the true parameters even in the presence of loud glitches, and that the inference is unbiased over a population of signals without applying any cleaning to the data. This work provides a promising avenue for extracting unbiased source properties in future GW observations over the coming decade.

The idea of value-aware model learning, that models should produce accurate value estimates, has gained prominence in model-based reinforcem… (voir plus)ent learning. The MuZero loss, which penalizes a model's value function prediction compared to the ground-truth value function, has been utilized in several prominent empirical works in the literature. However, theoretical investigation into its strengths and weaknesses is limited. In this paper, we analyze the family of value-aware model learning losses, which includes the popular MuZero loss. We show that these losses, as normally used, are uncalibrated surrogate losses, which means that they do not always recover the correct model and value function. Building on this insight, we propose corrections to solve this issue. Furthermore, we investigate the interplay between the loss calibration, latent model architectures, and auxiliary losses that are commonly employed when training MuZero-style agents. We show that while deterministic models can be sufficient to predict accurate values, learning calibrated stochastic models is still advantageous.

One Demo Is All It Takes: Planning Domain Derivation with LLMs from A Single Demonstration
Jinbang Huang

Zhanguang Zhang

Jianye HAO
Yingxue Zhang
Pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in solving planning problems but often struggle to ensure plan correctness, espe… (voir plus)cially for long-horizon tasks. Meanwhile, traditional robotic task and motion planning (TAMP) frameworks address these challenges more reliably by combining high-level symbolic search with low-level motion planning. However, TAMP relies on the availability of planning domains that typically involve substantial manual effort and domain expertise, limiting its generalizability. We introduce Planning Domain Derivation with LLMs (PDDLLM), a novel approach that combines simulated physical interaction with LLM reasoning to improve planning performance. The method reduces reliance on humans by inferring planning domains from a single annotated task-execution demonstration. Unlike prior domain-inference methods that rely on partially predefined or language descriptions of planning domains, PDDLLM constructs domains entirely from scratch and automatically integrates them with low-level motion planning skills, enabling fully automated long-horizon planning. PDDLLM is evaluated on over 1,200 diverse tasks spanning nine environments and benchmarked against six LLM-based planning baselines, demonstrating superior planning performance, lower token costs, and successful deployment on multiple robot platforms.

Artificial Neural Networks for Magnetoencephalography: A review of an emerging field
Arthur Dehgan
Hamza Abdelhedi
Vanessa Hadid
Irina Rish
Karim Jerbi CoCo Lab
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a cutting-edge neuroimaging technique that measures the intricate brain dynamics underlying cognitive proces… (voir plus)ses with an unparalleled combination of high temporal and spatial precision. MEG data analytics has always relied on advanced signal processing and mathematical and statistical tools for various tasks ranging from data cleaning to probing the signals' rich dynamics and estimating the neural sources underlying the surface-level recordings. Like in most domains, the surge in Artificial Intelligence (AI) has led to the increased use of Machine Learning (ML) methods for MEG data classification. More recently, an emerging trend in this field is using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to address many MEG-related tasks. This review provides a comprehensive overview of how ANNs are being used with MEG data from three vantage points: First, we review work that employs ANNs for MEG signal classification, i.e., for brain decoding. Second, we report on work that has used ANNs as putative models of information processing in the human brain. Finally, we examine studies that use ANNs as techniques to tackle methodological questions in MEG, including artifact correction and source estimation. Furthermore, we assess the current strengths and limitations of using ANNs with MEG and discuss future challenges and opportunities in this field. Finally, by establishing a detailed portrait of the field and providing practical recommendations for the future, this review seeks to provide a helpful reference for both seasoned MEG researchers and newcomers to the field who are interested in using ANNs to enhance the exploration of the complex dynamics of the human brain with MEG.

Combining cortical and spinal stimulation maximizes improvement of gait after spinal cord injury

Most spinal cord injuries (SCI) spare descending motor pathways and sublesional networks, which can be activated through motor cortex and sp… (voir plus)inal cord stimulation to mitigate locomotor deficits. However, the potential synergy between cortical and spinal stimulation as a neuroprosthetic intervention remains unknown. Here, we first investigated phase-locked electrical stimulation of the motor cortex and lumbar spinal cord at 40 Hz in a rat model of unilateral SCI. Combining cortical and lumbar stimulation around the anticipated lift synergistically enhanced leg movements. When integrated into rehabilitation training, cortical stimulation proved essential for recovery of skilled locomotion. As a further refinement, we next investigated the effects of high-frequency (330 Hz) lumbar and sacral stimulation combined with cortical stimulation. Timely integration during the swing phase showed that cortical and rostral lumbar stimulations enhance the initial and mid-swing phases, while sacral stimulation improves extension velocity in the late swing. These findings indicate that supraspinal and sublesional neuromodulation offer complementary neuroprosthetic effects in targeted SCI gait rehabilitation. Cortical and spinal stimulations summate motor outputs via distinct pathways. Each improves gait post-SCI, but combined stimulation maximizes gait improvement. Integrating cortico-spinal stimulation into rehabilitation promotes lasting recovery. EES capabilities extended using high-frequency lumbosacral protocols.

Quantifying antimicrobial resistance in food-producing animals in North America
Mohamed Mediouni
Abdoulaye Banire Diallo
Vladimir Makarenkov
The global misuse of antimicrobial medication has further exacerbated the problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), enriching the pool of g… (voir plus)enetic mechanisms previously adopted by bacteria to evade antimicrobial drugs. AMR can be either intrinsic or acquired. It can be acquired either by selective genetic modification or by horizontal gene transfer that allows microorganisms to incorporate novel genes from other organisms or environments into their genomes. To avoid an eventual antimicrobial mistreatment, the use of antimicrobials in farm animal has been recently reconsidered in many countries. We present a systematic review of the literature discussing the cases of AMR and the related restrictions applied in North American countries (including Canada, Mexico, and the USA). The Google Scholar, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched to find plausible information on antimicrobial use and resistance in food-producing animals, covering the time period from 2015 to 2024. A total of 580 articles addressing the issue of antibiotic resistance in food-producing animals in North America met our inclusion criteria. Different AMR rates, depending on the bacterium being observed, the antibiotic class being used, and the farm animal being considered, have been identified. We determined that the highest average AMR rates have been observed for pigs (60.63% on average), the medium for cattle (48.94% on average), and the lowest for poultry (28.43% on average). We also found that Cephalosporines, Penicillins, and Tetracyclines are the antibiotic classes with the highest average AMR rates (65.86%, 61.32%, and 58.82%, respectively), whereas the use of Sulfonamides and Quinolones leads to the lowest average AMR (21.59% and 28.07%, respectively). Moreover, our analysis of antibiotic-resistant bacteria shows that Streptococcus suis (S. suis) and S. auerus provide the highest average AMR rates (71.81% and 69.48%, respectively), whereas Campylobacter spp. provides the lowest one (29.75%). The highest average AMR percentage, 57.46%, was observed in Mexico, followed by Canada at 45.22%, and the USA at 42.25%, which is most probably due to the presence of various AMR control strategies, such as stewardship programs and AMR surveillance bodies, existing in Canada and the USA. Our review highlights the need for better strategies and regulations to control the spread of AMR in North America.

TrackPGD: Efficient Adversarial Attack using Object Binary Masks against Robust Transformer Trackers
Fatemeh Nourilenjan Nokabadi
Yann Batiste Pequignot
Jean-François Lalonde
Christian Gagné
Adversarial perturbations can deceive neural networks by adding small, imperceptible noise to the input. Recent object trackers with transfo… (voir plus)rmer backbones have shown strong performance on tracking datasets, but their adversarial robustness has not been thoroughly evaluated. While transformer trackers are resilient to black-box attacks, existing white-box adversarial attacks are not universally applicable against these new transformer trackers due to differences in backbone architecture. In this work, we introduce TrackPGD, a novel white-box attack that utilizes predicted object binary masks to target robust transformer trackers. Built upon the powerful segmentation attack SegPGD, our proposed TrackPGD effectively influences the decisions of transformer-based trackers. Our method addresses two primary challenges in adapting a segmentation attack for trackers: limited class numbers and extreme pixel class imbalance. TrackPGD uses the same number of iterations as other attack methods for tracker networks and produces competitive adversarial examples that mislead transformer and non-transformer trackers such as MixFormerM, OSTrackSTS, TransT-SEG, and RTS on datasets including VOT2022STS, DAVIS2016, UAV123, and GOT-10k.

Adaptive Inertia Estimation of a Power System Area Using Variable Forgetting Factor Recursive Least-Squares
Anoosh Dini
Keyhan Sheshyekani
Hanane Dagdougui
The increasing use of converter-interfaced generators (CIGs) in modern power grids has affected system inertia and posed challenges to grid … (voir plus)stability. In this regard, accurate and real-time monitoring of inertia is crucial for maintaining system stability, especially in low-inertia grids where even small disturbances can lead to rapid frequency deviations. This paper proposes a novel approach for inertia estimation using a variable forgetting factor recursive least squares (VFF-RLS) algorithm, which dynamically adapts to time-varying conditions in power systems. By using ambient measurements provided by the widearea measurement system (WAMS), the proposed approach can capture inertia variations of areas in power systems. The method is validated through simulations on the IEEE 39-bus system, demonstrating higher accuracy compared to existing approaches under both time-constant and time-varying inertia conditions.
