Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a frequent complication after surgery, particularly among older adults, and its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a key regulator of neuronal survival and synaptic plasti…
Decentralized federated learning (DFL) removes the central server by letting nodes exchange model updates through peer-to-peer gossip, but existing gossip-based methods often lack provenance finality and resilience to Byzantine or lazy participants. Ledger-assisted federated lear…
As wearable devices enable continuous first-person recording, AI assistants must reason across long time horizons to recall past experiences-a capability known as episodic memory. Current benchmarks often rely on offline evaluation with access to entire video files, failing to si…
Knowledge graph question answering (KGQA) aims to answer natural-language questions by reasoning over structured facts. Existing multi-hop KGQA methods mainly rely on topic-centered expansion, which faces two key challenges: the search space rapidly grows with noisy mixed-type pa…
Sequence learning has emerged as the promising paradigm in recommendation systems, surpassing traditional Deep Learning Recommendation Models (DLRM) by capturing the temporal nuances of user behavior. However, current state-of-the-art architectures operate under a limiting analog…
