Data assimilation combines model forecasts with noisy, incomplete observations to estimate the evolving state of a dynamical system. Existing methods face two compounding challenges: high-dimensional nonlinear dynamics make repeated forward simulation computationally expensive, while sparse observations provide limited …

Emergency managers need to know where floodwater is, how deep it is, and how it will change over the coming hours across an entire river basin. During a flood, however, real-time measurements come from only a handful of stream gauges, and high-resolution hydrodynamic models are too costly to rerun each time new data ar …

Self-supervised pre-training with Vision Transformers, including Masked Autoencoders (MAE), is difficult to apply to gigapixel scientific images. Random masking is poorly matched to the structured, multi-scale morphology of scientific data, while uniform tokenization produces prohibitively long sequences that make $O(N …

Telecom fraud scripts evolve rapidly and are often designed to resemble routine service conversations, creating two key requirements for audio-based telecom-fraud evaluation. First, benchmarks must incorporate newly observed scam patterns without overwriting previously established test sets. Second, they must distingui …

Large audio-language models have shown promise for anti-fraud detection by directly processing speech and reasoning over fraud-related evidence. Their deployment, however, requires predictions to follow a predefined label space and a structured decision protocol consisting of service-scenario identification, fraud dete …

Platform abuse campaigns conceal redirection instructions with emojis, homophones, character decomposition, and redundant symbols, then route users through disguised links to services associated with pornography, fraud, gambling, or illicit transactions. Existing benchmarks evaluate obfuscated text and risky webpages s …
