Researchers at Technische Universität Berlin and Qingdao University of Technology achieved 73.68% construction activity recognition accuracy using pure prompting — no labeled training data, no fine-tuning, just a domain ontology, structured visual extraction, and carefully engineered in-context examples.
A Carnegie Mellon team embedded causal inference directly into a Generative Adversarial Network to predict sequence-dependent changeover times for products the factory has never seen before — cutting production waste by up to 25% and finally making job-shop scheduling work…

Researchers at Hohai University designed a probabilistic dynamic temporal convolutional network that fuses finite element simulation physics with real-time reinforcement learning adaptation and Monte Carlo uncertainty quantification — achieving less than 5% relative error on the highest existing concrete-faced rockfill…
A team at Chongqing University built a graph neural network that embeds multi-sensor degradation data into hyperbolic space — where the geometry naturally fits hierarchical structures — and dynamically adapts the curvature of that space during training to match the…
