A Bayesian Mirror Architecture for Emergent Consciousness: Circular Hierarchies, Self-Manifolds, and Hybrid Event-Self Binding
arXiv:2610.08792v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a foundational formulation of the Bayesian Mirror Architecture (BMA), a self-referential generative framework in which sensory abstractions, meta-abstractions, and a self-latent interact through circular recursion. The defining constraint is a closed update S_t <- H_{t-1}, where a hybrid event-self latent H_t binds self-representations to abstract world models and reinjects this coupling into the self-state. Consciousness, in a restricted sense, is not an optimization objective nor a semantic label, but an architectural property of systems possessing this circular structure. Because inference operates over posterior beliefs, BMA's intrinsic state space is a space of probability measures equipped with optimal-transport geometry. Stability and coherence are formulated in the 2-Wasserstein metric on P_2, yielding coordinate-free notions of self-stability and hybrid coherence along belief trajectories. We define a Causal Learning R
A Review Of Robotic World Models For Dynamic Environments Based On Factor And Scene Graphs
arXiv:2610.08800v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Models based on graphs have emerged in robotics as a powerful foundation for internal world representations, where factor and scene graphs are among the most prominent model types found in the related literature and in successful robotic solutions. Initially, many of these models were assuming static environments as a simplification. Herein, factor graphs mainly provide uncertainty-aware geometric estimations while scene graphs enable a structured semantic abstraction. However, real-world robotic environments are often dynamic, posing severe challenges for purely static world representations. Therefore, this review presents a comprehensive view on how dynamic aspects of real-world environments can be addressed in such graph-based world models. We organize our assessments around three main aspects: (I) suitable representations, (II) pipelines to construct and update the representations, and (III) their exploitation for downstream tasks. We
SAFE: Unified Slip and Fracture Detection with Low-Cost Acoustic Sensing in Robotic Grasping
arXiv:2610.08802v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Manipulating fragile objects remains challenging as robots must understand the state of what they grasp, such as slip or fracture, to respond appropriately, especially when material properties are unknown. In this paper, we present SAFE: a low-cost, general-purpose sensing approach that detects both slip and fracture in real time using two passive polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) acoustic sensors and motor proprioception, without relying on vision or prior material knowledge. The sensors are mounted on a compliant Fin Ray gripper, and a unified HistGradientBoosting classifier reports the state (normal, slip, or fracture) from a 79-dimensional feature vector. Under leave-one-grasp-out cross-validation, SAFE achieves an Alert-F1 of 0.884 with near-zero slip-fracture confusion, and ablations confirm that acoustic sensing is indispensable. An adaptive grasp controller built on this detection layer runs at 104 Hz on a Jetson Orin Nano, achieving
Beyond Baseline Severity: Temporal and Disease-Specific Predictors of Depression Outcomes Following Mindfulness Interventions
arXiv:2610.08809v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Depression severity among patients with chronic or acute medical conditions is influenced by a complex interaction of baseline psychological state, demographic characteristics, clinical context, and engagement with behavioral interventions. This paper presents an interpretable machine-learning analysis of a multi-center longitudinal clinical cohort to predict Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) scores at 12 and 24 weeks following mindfulness-based intervention participation. The study uses demographic variables, clinical condition information, hospital-center identifiers, baseline BDI-II scores, and therapy engagement measures to model short-term and long-term depression outcomes. Missing follow-up outcomes were addressed using a model-based stochastic imputation procedure to preserve the modest sample size while maintaining outcome variability. Five regression models were evaluated, spanning regularized linear regression and tree-based
How Wrong Is Your Marketing Mix Model (MMM)?

10 Jev Projects on GitHub You Should Check Out
Agents make dozens of small decisions before producing useful output: which source to trust, which tool to call, what context to keep and when to stop. Jev brings those hidden choices into the open by turning them into typed decisions with probabilities, instead of relying on free-form text alone. That makes it useful across browser [ ] The post 10 Jev Projects on GitHub You Should Check Out appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.

RMRRT: Riemannian Barrier Metric RRT for Inequality-Aware Steering on Equality Manifolds
arXiv:2610.06863v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a motion planning framework that unifies equality and inequality constraints within a single geometric formulation for sampling-based planning in high-dimensional robotic systems. In conventional sampling-based planners, equality constraints are typically enforced through projection, whereas inequality constraints are handled separately through binary validity checks such as collision testing, often leading to inefficient exploration. To address this limitation, we propose Riemannian Barrier Metric RRT (RMRRT), which constructs a unified local geometry for planning on equality-constrained manifolds. RMRRT first builds an ambient barrier metric from inequality-sensitive barrier terms and then induces a tangent-space metric via a (G)-orthogonal projection associated with the equality constraints. The resulting tangent-space metric is used consistently in both steering and nearest-neighbor selection, biasing exploration a
