When Relevance Meets Novelty: Dual-Stable Periodic Optimization for Serendipitous Recommendation

arXiv:2508.00450v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional recommendation systems tend to trap users in strong feedback loops by excessively pushing content aligned with their historical preferences, thereby limiting exploration opportunities and causing content fatigue. Although large language models (LLMs) demonstrate potential with their diverse content generation capabilities, existing LLM-enhanced dual-model frameworks face two major limitations: first, they overlook long-term preferences driven by group identity, leading to biased interest modeling; second, they suffer from static optimization flaws, as a one-time alignment process fails to leverage incremental user data for closed-loop optimization. To address these challenges, we propose the Co-Evolutionary Alignment (CoEA) method. For interest modeling bias, we introduce Dual-Stable Interest Exploration (DSIE) module, jointly modeling long-term group identity and short-term individual interests through parallel processing of behavioral sequences. For static optimization limitations, we design a Periodic Collaborative Optimization (PCO) mechanism. This mechanism regularly conducts preference verification on incremental data using the Relevance LLM, then guides the Novelty LLM to perform fine-tuning based on the verification results, and subsequently feeds back the output of the continually fine-tuned Novelty LLM to the Relevance LLM for re-evaluation, thereby achieving a dynamic closed-loop optimization. Extensive online and offline experiments verify the effectiveness of the CoEA model in serendipitous recommendation.

Uni-NTFM: A Unified Foundation Model for EEG Signal Representation Learning

arXiv:2509.24222v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Current foundation models for electroencephalography (EEG) rely on architectures adapted from computer vision or natural language processing, typically treating neural signals as pixel grids or token sequences. This approach overlooks that the neural activity is activated by diverse sparse coding across a complex geometric topological cortex. Inspired by biological neural mechanisms, we propose the Unified Neural Topological Foundation Model (Uni-NTFM), an architecture rooted in three core neuroscience principles. In detail, to align with the brain's decoupled coding mechanism, we design the Heterogeneous Feature Projection Module. This module simultaneously encodes both time-domain non-stationary transients and frequency-domain steady-state rhythms, ensuring high quality in both waveform morphology and spectral rhythms. Moreover, we introduce a Topological Embedding mechanism to inject structured spatial priors and align different sensor configurations onto a unified latent functional topography, effectively reconstructing the geometry of brain regions. Furthermore, we achieve functional modularization and sparse coding efficiency of biological networks by constructing the Mixture-of-Experts Transformer network. This dynamic routing mechanism assigns different signal patterns and tasks to specialized neural subnetworks, and effectively preventing task interference while increasing the model capacity to record-breaking 1.9 billion parameters. Uni-NTFM is pre-trained on a diverse corpus comprising 28,000 hours of EEG data, and outperforms existing models across nine distinct downstream tasks under both linear probing and fine-tuning settings, demonstrating that aligning model architecture with neural mechanisms is significant to learn universal representations and achieve generalizable brain decoding.

Intelligent Pathological Diagnosis of Gestational Trophoblastic Diseases via Visual-Language Deep Learning Model

arXiv:2603.02704v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The pathological diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease(GTD) takes a long time, relies heavily on the experience of pathologists, and the consistency of initial diagnosis is low, which seriously threatens maternal health and reproductive outcomes. We developed an expert model for GTD pathological diagnosis, named GTDoctor. GTDoctor can perform pixel-based lesion segmentation on pathological slides, and output diagnostic conclusions and personalized pathological analysis results. We developed a software system, GTDiagnosis, based on this technology and conducted clinical trials. The retrospective results demonstrated that GTDiagnosis achieved a mean precision of over 0.91 for lesion detection in pathological slides (n=679 slides). In prospective studies, pathologists using GTDiagnosis attained a Positive Predictive Value of 95.59% (n=68 patients). The tool reduced average diagnostic time from 56 to 16 seconds per case (n=285 patients). GTDoctor and GTDiagnosis offer a novel solution for GTD pathological diagnosis, enhancing diagnostic performance and efficiency while maintaining clinical interpretability.
