Quality Action Assurance: Multimodal Verification of Examiner Claims in VR OSCEs

arXiv:2607.19063v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) are the gold standard for assessing clinical competence, yet scoring remains vulnerable to examiner subjectivity, fatigue, and cognitive bias. Standard examiner validation via inter-rater statistics lacks explanatory power regarding the source of errors, as it…

A funny companion: Distinct neural responses to AI- versus human-attributed humor

arXiv:2509.10847v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As artificial intelligence (AI) companions become capable of human-like communication, including telling jokes, understanding how people cognitively and affectively respond to AI-attributed humor becomes increasingly important. This study used EEG to compare how people process puns versus controls attributed to…

UNIFUSION: Adapting Autoregressive Language Models into Discrete Diffusion under a Unified Reverse-Rate Objective

arXiv:2607.24507v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing methods mainly adapt pretrained autoregressive (AR) language models to masked diffusion, whereas we directly adapt them to uniform-noise diffusion, where every token remains editable during sampling. However, adapting AR checkpoints across corruption kernels remains challenging because existing DLMs use…
