Abstract
Recent Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are rapidly evolving into unified understanding and generation (UAG) frameworks. However, extending these unified paradigms to the medical domain is hindered by: the absence of comprehensive training and evaluation benchmarks, and the lack of broadly validated unified medical model. To address these gaps, we present a comprehensive foundation for medical UAG. First, we construct MedUAGCorpus, the largest unified medical understanding and generation dataset to date, comprising over 6 million instances across 14 imaging modalities. Second, we introduce MedUAGBench, a systematic benchmark that expands medical generation evaluation to 12 diverse tasks under standardized protocols. Finally, leveraging these resources, we develop MedUAG, an end-to-end trained unified medical model. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MedUAG achieves strong performance across a wide array of understanding and generation tasks, establishing a competitive baseline and paving the way for next-generation medical multimodal systems.
Investigating how experienced developers use agents in building software, including their motivations, strategies, task suitability, and sentiments finds that while experienced developers value agents as a productivity boost, they retain their agency in software design and implementation out of insistence on fundamental software quality attributes.
This systematic review evaluates 55 studies from 2017 to 2023 on the application of machine learning techniques to ASD, highlighting key challenges and opportunities, particularly the need for models that can integrate complex data to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes.

SimulRAG, a simulator-based RAG framework with a generalized retrieval interface that translates between text and simulator parameters/outputs, is proposed, which improves informativeness and factuality over the strongest adapted RAG baselines, while UE+SBA enhances claim-level efficiency and quality.

This paper identifies two different routes through which models can acquire geometrically separable features: they can learn them from complementary co-occurrence signals in general language data, including text-number co-occurrence and cross-number interaction, or from multi-token addition problems.
A novel quantum generative model for synthesizing tabular data by proposing a quantum generative adversarial network architecture with flexible data encoding and a novel quantum circuit ansatz for effectively modeling tabular data is introduced.
