An Event-Driven Cloud-Native Wearable Analytics Framework for Real-Time Clinical Workloads

Continuous physiological monitoring using consumer-grade wearables offers a transformative opportunity for clinical care and research, yet integration remains hindered by device heterogeneity, proprietary data formats, and strict regulatory requirements. We present an event-driven, cloud-native system designed to ingest, normalize, and analyze high-frequency vital signs from wearables at scale and without vendor lock-in. The system design proposes a multi-layered microservice architecture using cluster orchestration. Data acquisition is handled via a cross-platform mobile application that leverages native health frameworks, ensuring compatibility across fragmented device ecosystems. To address interoperability, we implement an event-driven transformation pipeline using stream processing engines and specialized services to map raw measurements to the FHIR standard for medical interoperability. Our novel dependency-aware FHIR minimization scheme reduces storage overhead while maintaining lossless resource reconstruction. Furthermore, the platform integrates a modular data analytics and machine learning layer based on a medallion lakehouse architecture, supporting the full machine learning lifecycle from real-time stream processing to model serving. Performance evaluation demonstrates that the ingestion pipeline sustains 50 full ingestion requests per second with median response times under 8 ms, satisfying the low-latency requirements for real-time patient monitoring. Our open-source implementation adheres to regulatory compliance standards through role-based access control and secure service-to-service communication, providing a robust foundation for deploying wearable-based monitoring in institutional healthcare settings for clinical decision support and research workloads.

Trustworthy Retrosynthesis: Eliminating Hallucinations with a Diverse Ensemble of Reaction Scorers

Retrosynthesis is one of the domains transformed by the rise of generative models, and it is one where the problem of nonsensical or erroneous outputs (hallucinations) is particularly insidious: reliable assessment of synthetic plans is time-consuming, with automatic methods lacking. In this work, we present RetroTrim, a retrosynthesis system that successfully avoids nonsensical plans on a set of challenging drug-like targets. Compared to common baselines in the field, our system is not only the sole method that succeeds in filtering out hallucinated reactions, but it also results in the highest number of high-quality paths overall. The key insight behind RetroTrim is the combination of diverse reaction scoring strategies, based on machine learning models and existing chemical databases. We show that our scoring strategies capture different classes of hallucinations by analyzing them on a dataset of labeled retrosynthetic intermediates. This approach formed the basis of our winning solution to the Standard Industries \$1 million Retrosynthesis Challenge. To measure the performance of retrosynthesis systems, we propose a novel evaluation protocol for reactions and synthetic paths based on a structured review by expert chemists. Using this protocol, we compare systems on a set of 32 novel targets, curated to reflect recent trends in drug structures. While the insights behind our methodology are broadly applicable to retrosynthesis, our focus is on targets in the drug-like domain. By releasing our benchmark targets and the details of our evaluation protocol, we hope to inspire further research into reliable retrosynthesis.

DetoxAI: a Python Toolkit for Debiasing Deep Learning Models in Computer Vision

While machine learning fairness has made significant progress in recent years, most existing solutions focus on tabular data and are poorly suited for vision-based classification tasks, which rely heavily on deep learning. To bridge this gap, we introduce DetoxAI, an open-source Python library for improving fairness in deep learning vision classifiers through post-hoc debiasing. DetoxAI implements state-of-the-art debiasing algorithms, fairness metrics, and visualization tools. It supports debiasing via interventions in internal representations and includes attribution-based visualization tools and quantitative algorithmic fairness metrics to show how bias is mitigated. This paper presents the motivation, design, and use cases of DetoxAI, demonstrating its tangible value to engineers and researchers.

Investigating the Relationship Between Debiasing and Artifact Removal using Saliency Maps

The widespread adoption of machine learning systems has raised critical concerns about fairness and bias, making mitigating harmful biases essential for AI development. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between debiasing and removing artifacts in neural networks for computer vision tasks. First, we introduce a set of novel XAI-based metrics that analyze saliency maps to assess shifts in a model's decision-making process. Then, we demonstrate that successful debiasing methods systematically redirect model focus away from protected attributes. Finally, we show that techniques originally developed for artifact removal can be effectively repurposed for improving fairness. These findings provide evidence for the existence of a bidirectional connection between ensuring fairness and removing artifacts corresponding to protected attributes.

Exploring Loss Design Techniques For Decision Tree Robustness To Label Noise

In the real world, data is often noisy, affecting not only the quality of features but also the accuracy of labels. Current research on mitigating label errors stems primarily from advances in deep learning, and a gap exists in exploring interpretable models, particularly those rooted in decision trees. In this study, we investigate whether ideas from deep learning loss design can be applied to improve the robustness of decision trees. In particular, we show that loss correction and symmetric losses, both standard approaches, are not effective. We argue that other directions need to be explored to improve the robustness of decision trees to label noise.
