arXiv:2609.09728v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Source-level analysis of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) is relevant to presurgical evaluation and treatment planning because it helps characterize where epileptiform activity is likely to arise. Beyond detecting whether an IED is present, this setting requires assigning IED-positive activity to clinically meaningful brain-region categories. This setting is challenging because source-region evidence in short electroencephalography (EEG) windows can be subtle, partial, and affected by subject variability, class imbalance, and imperfect multimodal context. We present EEGBind, an EEG-centric multimodal binding framework for five-class source-level IED classification. EEGBind treats EEG as the primary modality and binds synchronized video-context features around an EEG-centric representation. Instead of relying on early or overly strong multimodal fusion, which may perturb the source-sensitive EEG representation, EEGBind uses video context as auxiliary evidence for robust classification. A view-consistent repair stage is further used to improve hidden-set robustness while preserving the learned source-class boundary. On the NeuroMM 2026 Grand Challenge Track 3 NMM-Source-IED benchmark, EEGBind achieves 0.8395 on weighted-F1 and outperforms strong competitors. These results support EEG-centric multimodal binding as a practical strategy for source-level IED classification.

arXiv:2605.25681v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Designing a single molecule that modulates two targets is a promising strategy for polypharmacology, but it remains substantially harder than standard single-target generation because one candidate must satisfy two binding requirements while preserving drug-likeness and synthesizability. Existing dual-target generative methods typically introduce dual-target capability by either retraining the generator or intervening in the diffusion process during sampling. The former can be costly and difficult to stabilize when dual-target supervision is sparse, while the latter may be sensitive to denoising-time target balancing and competing update directions. These limitations motivate a generator-preserving alternative that keeps the pretrained prior intact: can dual-target candidates instead be recovered from the input space of a frozen single-target diffusion model, without modifying its parameters or denoising dynamics? We formulate this task as a constrained multi-objective optimization problem and propose REUSE, a hierarchical evolutionary input-space search framework that combines pair-conditioned exploration with structured multi-stage selection to enforce dual-target affinity, chemical quality, and diversity. Experiments show that, compared with methods that modify the diffusion process, REUSE consistently improves dual-target affinity and balance, achieving a 20.9-percentage-point gain in Dual High Affinity over the strongest prior baseline while maintaining competitive molecular quality.
