ConnectomeBench2: A Unified Benchmark for Automated Connectomic Proofreading

Researchers released ConnectomeBench2, a unified benchmark dataset containing over 716,000 expert-labeled proofreading decisions for automated 3D brain reconstruction across four species. A Vision Transformer model trained on this dataset achieved human-level accuracy in identifying segmentation errors, advancing the automation of connectomic proofreading—a critical bottleneck in neuroscience research.

A Cartography of Open Collaboration in Open Source AI: Mapping Practices, Motivations, and Governance in 14 Open Large Language Model Projects

Researchers conducted an in-depth study of 14 open-source large language model projects through developer interviews, revealing how collaboration, governance, and participation evolve across different development stages. The study maps motivations ranging from democratizing AI to expanding language representation, showing that openness in open-source AI emerges from complex interactions between artifact domains, lifecycle stages, and institutional contexts rather than being a uniform property.
