Measuring an i+1 language tutor from the outside: one robust effect, one language-dependent null, and one failed conformance bar

Krashen's comprehensible-input hypothesis holds that acquisition happens when input sits just beyond the learner's current competence - the so-called i+1 condition. Large language models make it possible, for the first time, to generate such input on demand rather than select it...

Modality-aware differentially private federated learning for partially observed multimodal healthcare prediction

Multimodal healthcare prediction can benefit from combining structured electronic health records, medical imaging, and acquisition-related metadata, but these modalities are often incompletely observed across patients and unevenly distributed across clinical sites. Federated lear...
