FRAC-MAS: A Safe and Explainable Multi-Agent System for Fracture Diagnosis

Fracture detection and its clinical interpretability see notable improvements when deep vision models are integrated with agentic AI architectures. While deep learning models achieve high diagnostic performance, their black-box nature limits clinical adoption. We propose FRAC-MAS, an agentic AI system for automated, explainable, and safe bone fracture detection. The framework combines a stacked ensemble of four vision models with conformal prediction to produce statistically grounded differential diagnoses, while a multi-agent workflow performs independent verification, retrieves clinical guidelines, and generates patient-friendly reports. A pipeline-depth ablation study confirms that our multi-agent critic triages 86.6% of cases into a high-confidence auto-confirmed cohort while escalating uncertain cases, outperforming a single-agent baseline. Patient preference studies against Llama, MedGemma, and Gemini further demonstrate significantly more comprehensible clinical reports. These results suggest that integrating multi-agent critics with conformal guarantees enables safer radiology triage while preserving clinician oversight. More broadly, FRAC-MAS demonstrates how cooperative agentic architectures can serve as auditable, human-in-the-loop decision support systems for safety-critical healthcare.

Leveraging Exogenous Signals for Hydrology Time Series Forecasting

Recent advances in time series research facilitate the development of foundation models. While many state-of-the-art time series foundation models have been introduced, few studies examine their effectiveness in specific downstream applications in physical science. This work investigates the role of integrating domain knowledge into time series models for hydrological rainfall-runoff modeling. Using the CAMELS-US dataset, which includes rainfall and runoff data from 671 locations with six time series streams and 30 static features, we compare baseline and foundation models. Results demonstrate that models incorporating comprehensive known exogenous inputs outperform more limited approaches, including foundation models. Notably, incorporating natural annual periodic time series contribute the most significant improvements.

CC-GRMAS: A Multi-Agent Graph Neural System for Spatiotemporal Landslide Risk Assessment in High Mountain Asia

Landslides are a growing climate induced hazard with severe environmental and human consequences, particularly in high mountain Asia. Despite increasing access to satellite and temporal datasets, timely detection and disaster response remain underdeveloped and fragmented. This work introduces CC-GRMAS, a framework leveraging a series of satellite observations and environmental signals to enhance the accuracy of landslide forecasting. The system is structured around three interlinked agents Prediction, Planning, and Execution, which collaboratively enable real time situational awareness, response planning, and intervention. By incorporating local environmental factors and operationalizing multi agent coordination, this approach offers a scalable and proactive solution for climate resilient disaster preparedness across vulnerable mountainous terrains.

Enhancing Clinical Decision-Making: Integrating Multi-Agent Systems with Ethical AI Governance

Recent advances in the data-driven medicine approach, which integrates ethically managed and explainable artificial intelligence into clinical decision support systems (CDSS), are critical to ensure reliable and effective patient care. This paper focuses on comparing novel agent system designs that use modular agents to analyze laboratory results, vital signs, and clinical context, and to predict and validate results. We implement our agent system with the eICU database, including running lab analysis, vitals-only interpreters, and contextual reasoners agents first, then sharing the memory into the integration agent, prediction agent, transparency agent, and a validation agent. Our results suggest that the multi-agent system (MAS) performed better than the single-agent system (SAS) with mortality prediction accuracy (59\%, 56\%) and the mean error for length of stay (LOS)(4.37 days, 5.82 days), respectively. However, the transparency score for the SAS (86.21) is slightly better than the transparency score for MAS (85.5). Finally, this study suggests that our agent-based framework not only improves process transparency and prediction accuracy but also strengthens trustworthy AI-assisted decision support in an intensive care setting.

Deep Learning Foundation and Pattern Models: Challenges in Hydrological Time Series

There has been active investigation into deep learning approaches for time series analysis, including foundation models. However, most studies do not address significant scientific applications. This paper aims to identify key features in time series by examining hydrology data. Our work advances computer science by emphasizing critical application features and contributes to hydrology and other scientific fields by identifying modeling approaches that effectively capture these features. Scientific time series data are inherently complex, involving observations from multiple locations, each with various time-dependent data streams and exogenous factors that may be static or time-varying and either application-dependent or purely mathematical. This research analyzes hydrology time series from the CAMELS and Caravan global datasets, which encompass rainfall and runoff data across catchments, featuring up to six observed streams and 209 static parameters across approximately 8,000 locations. Our investigation assesses the impact of exogenous data through eight different model configurations for key hydrology tasks. Results demonstrate that integrating exogenous information enhances data representation, reducing mean squared error by up to 40% in the largest dataset. Additionally, we present a detailed performance comparison of over 20 state-of-the-art pattern and foundation models. The analysis is fully open-source, facilitated by Jupyter Notebook on Google Colab for LSTM-based modeling, data preprocessing, and model comparisons. Preliminary findings using alternative deep learning architectures reveal that models incorporating comprehensive observed and exogenous data outperform more limited approaches, including foundation models. Notably, natural annual periodic exogenous time series contribute the most significant improvements, though static and other periodic factors are also valuable.

Large Cognition Model: Towards Pretrained EEG Foundation Model

Electroencephalography provides a non-invasive window into brain activity, offering valuable insights for neurological research, brain-computer interfaces, and clinical diagnostics. However, the development of robust machine learning models for EEG analysis is hindered by the scarcity of large-scale, well-annotated datasets and the inherent variability of EEG signals across subjects and recording conditions. Inspired by the success of foundation models in natural language processing and computer vision, we propose the Large Cognition Model-a transformer-based foundation model designed to generalize across diverse EEG datasets and downstream tasks. Unlike traditional approaches, our proposed transformer-based architecture demonstrates strong generalization capabilities across datasets and tasks, even without pretraining, surpassing some existing EEG universal models on specific downstream applications. LCM leverages large-scale self-supervised learning techniques to capture universal EEG representations, enabling efficient fine-tuning for applications such as cognitive state decoding, disease classification, and neurofeedback systems. We introduce a novel architecture that integrates temporal and spectral attention mechanisms, optimizing the model's ability to extract meaningful features from raw EEG signals. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that LCM outperforms state-of-the-art approaches across multiple EEG benchmarks, exhibiting strong cross-subject and cross-task generalization. Our findings highlight the potential of pretrained EEG foundation models to accelerate advancements in neuroscience, personalized medicine, and BCI technology.

Optimizing Supply Chain Networks with the Power of Graph Neural Networks

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have emerged as transformative tools for modeling complex relational data, offering unprecedented capabilities in tasks like forecasting and optimization. This study investigates the application of GNNs to demand forecasting within supply chain networks using the SupplyGraph dataset, a benchmark for graph-based supply chain analysis. By leveraging advanced GNN methodologies, we enhance the accuracy of forecasting models, uncover latent dependencies, and address temporal complexities inherent in supply chain operations. Comparative analyses demonstrate that GNN-based models significantly outperform traditional approaches, including Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs) and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs), particularly in single-node demand forecasting tasks. The integration of graph representation learning with temporal data highlights GNNs' potential to revolutionize predictive capabilities for inventory management, production scheduling, and logistics optimization. This work underscores the pivotal role of forecasting in supply chain management and provides a robust framework for advancing research and applications in this domain.
