Chain-of-Thought May Not Be a Window into AI’s Reasoning: Anthropic’s New Study Reveals Hidden Gaps Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting has gained visibility as a method to enhance and interpret the reasoning processes of large language models (LLMs). The premise is straightforward: if a model articulates its answer step-by-step, those steps should ideally shed light on its… →
BACKGROUND: Screen media use in early childhood is associated with increased risk for health and developmental problems. A preventive intervention during a regular examination in pediatric practices aims to prevent dysregulated screen time by children under three years of age. This protocol describes a process evaluation with the aim of understanding how to implement most… →

CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that DIALOG+ is feasible and beneficial for patients with anxiety disorders in routine care and that a remote delivery is a feasible realistic option for administering it. Future research should assess implementation methods and effectiveness in larger controlled trials and identify the effective mechanisms in DIALOG+. →

Omni-R1: Advancing Audio Question Answering with Text-Driven Reinforcement Learning and Auto-Generated Data Recent developments indicate that reinforcement learning (RL) can significantly enhance the reasoning abilities of large language models (LLMs). This study focuses on improving Audio LLMs—models that process audio and text to perform tasks such as question answering. The MMAU benchmark is a widely… →
Microsoft Introduces a DiskANN-Integrated System for Cost-Effective Vector Search Using Azure Cosmos DB The ability to search high-dimensional vector representations has become essential for modern data systems. These vector representations, generated by deep learning models, encapsulate data’s semantic and contextual meanings, enabling systems to retrieve results based on relevance and similarity rather than exact matches.… →
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this randomized clinical trial of a digital therapeutic for chronic poststroke VFDs, the visual perceptual learning-based training demonstrated significant improvements in the whole field and defective hemifield. →
