AMix-1: A Pathway to Test-Time Scalable Protein Foundation Model

Researchers introduce AMix-1, a 1.7-billion parameter protein foundation model that uses Bayesian Flow Networks to advance computational protein design and engineering. The model demonstrates predictable scaling laws, in-context learning capabilities, and test-time scaling algorithms that enable the design of protein variants with up to 50x improved activity, establishing a framework for lab-in-the-loop protein engineering.

A Model of Multi-turn Human Persuadability Using Probabilistic Belief Tracing

Researchers introduce PERSUASIONTRACE, a framework for studying how large language models persuade humans across multi-turn conversations by tracking belief changes in real-time rather than just measuring pre/post outcomes. The study reveals that humans cluster into predictable persuasion patterns and that a Bayesian-network simulator better replicates authentic human belief dynamics than vanilla LLMs, with implications for both AI safety and persuasion research methodology.

Enhancing Clinician Decision-Making via Uncertainty-Aware Multi-Expert Fusion for Stroke Rehabilitation

Researchers present xAARA, an AI system that enhances stroke rehabilitation assessment by analyzing multi-view video to provide ARAT scores with calibrated uncertainty and clinical explanations. The system achieved 94.2% task accuracy while reducing predictive uncertainty by 96.1% compared to single clinicians, with four independent clinicians validating its potential for clinical deployment.

KG-SoftMAP: Soft Knowledge-Graph Priors for Bayesian Network Structure Learning from Sparse Discrete Data

KG-SoftMAP is a novel machine learning method that improves Bayesian network structure learning from sparse discrete data by integrating imperfect domain knowledge as weighted soft priors. The approach combines expert-curated or LLM-extracted knowledge graphs with statistical scoring, demonstrating superior structure recovery on synthetic benchmarks and practical utility on real educational datasets.

A Bayesian Network Approach for Enhancing Security-Focused Decision Support Systems

Researchers propose a Bayesian Network-based Decision Support System (DSS) to help infrastructure operators select appropriate security tools across heterogeneous open-source networks. The framework addresses the growing complexity of managing interconnected systems by automating the matching of high-level security requirements to suitable mechanisms.

Beyond Post-hoc Explanation: Toward Glassbox AI via Probabilistic Mediation

Researchers propose the Glassbox Framework, a new AI architecture that replaces post-hoc explainability with ante-hoc probabilistic mediation using Bayesian networks as transparent reasoning layers for large language models. This approach aims to make AI systems fundamentally accountable in high-stakes domains like healthcare, law, and public administration by encoding domain knowledge and causal assumptions before inference occurs.

Extending Causal Metamodeling to a non-Markovian Queue

Researchers extended modular dynamic Bayesian networks (MDBNs) to model non-Markovian queuing systems by approximating non-exponential distributions with phase-type distributions. This advancement enables causal metamodeling for complex systems previously limited to Markovian analysis, achieving orders-of-magnitude speedup in inference compared to direct simulation.

Domain size asymptotics for Markov logic networks

Researchers analyze how Markov logic networks (MLNs) behave as domain size increases, demonstrating that probability distributions determined by MLNs diverge significantly from uniform distributions. The work provides asymptotic characterization for single-relation languages and proves fundamental differences exist between MLNs and lifted Bayesian networks in their distributional properties.

Free Energy Manifold: Score-Based Inference for Hybrid Bayesian Networks

Researchers introduce Free Energy Manifold (FEM), a score-based conditional energy model designed to improve probabilistic inference in hybrid Bayesian networks containing both discrete and continuous variables. The work identifies and addresses a critical failure mode called the mode-bridge artifact, where standard energy models create artificially low-energy paths between separated probability modes, leading to overconfident predictions in regions not seen during training.

General Proximal Flow Networks

Researchers introduce General Proximal Flow Networks (GPFNs), a generalization of Bayesian Flow Networks that allows for arbitrary divergence functions instead of fixed Kullback-Leibler divergence. The framework enables iterative generative modeling with improved generation quality when divergence functions are adapted to underlying data geometry.

Econometric vs. Causal Structure-Learning for Time-Series Policy Decisions: Evidence from the UK COVID-19 Policies

A research study compares econometric methods versus causal machine learning algorithms for analyzing time-series data to inform policy decisions, using UK COVID-19 policies as a case study. The research evaluates four econometric methods against eleven causal ML algorithms, finding that econometric methods provide clearer temporal structure rules while causal ML algorithms explore broader graph structures to capture more causal relationships.
