  1. PlugMem: A Task-Agnostic Plugin Memory Module for LLM Agents 

    February 6, 2026

    Long-term memory is essential for large language model (LLM) agents operating in complex environments, yet existing memory designs are either task-specific and non-transferable, or task-agnostic but less effective due to low task-relevance and context explosion from raw memory retrieval. We propose PlugMem, a task-agnostic plugin…

  3. SCOPE: AI-Assisted Early Detection of Potentially Curable Pancreatic Neoplasms on CT from Local and Global Information 

    February 5, 2026

    Purpose To develop SCOPE (Small-lesion COntextual Pancreatic Evaluator), a deep learning model designed to improve CT detection of small pancreatic lesions—pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs), and cystic lesions—by integrating voxel-level features with global context. Materials and Methods This retrospective study used three independent datasets.…

  4. SEMA: Simple yet Effective Learning for Multi-Turn Jailbreak Attacks 

    February 5, 2026

    Multi-turn jailbreaks capture the real threat model for safety-aligned chatbots, where single-turn attacks are merely a special case. Yet existing approaches break under exploration complexity and intent drift. We propose SEMA, a simple yet effective framework that trains a multi-turn attacker without relying on any…

  5. Using AI to Improve Individual and Population Health 

    February 5, 2026 | Bill Weeks, James N Weinstein, and Juan M. Lavista Ferres

    At the intersection of public health and healthcare delivery, population health management analyzes population level data to identify opportunities to improve the quality, efficiency, and equity of care being provided. Population health management incorporates defining a population of individuals; recognizing the circumstances in which that…

  8. DuoDrama: Supporting Screenplay Refinement Through LLM-Assisted Human Reflection 

    February 4, 2026

    AI has been increasingly integrated into screenwriting practice. In refinement, screenwriters expect AI to provide feedback that supports reflection across the internal perspective of characters and the external perspective of the overall story. However, existing AI tools cannot sufficiently coordinate the two perspectives to meet…
