Adjusting Large Language Model Context Via User-Initiated Thread Renaming And Organization, Victor Carbune, Florian Hartmann

Defensive Publications Series

Large language model inference context often becomes inefficient or contains irrelevant information as conversational threads grow in length. This disclosure describes methods for adjusting inference context based on user-initiated organizational signals, such as renaming threads or grouping them into projects. When a thread is renamed, the conversation is segmented into topics and re-ranked to prune segments that do not align with the new title. Conversely, when threads are organized into a project or given similar names, relevant context from related threads is dynamically loaded to augment the current session. User feedback signals, such as manual ratings or interface interactions, are …

ONU Student Research Colloquium

Single treatments with psychedelics have demonstrated rapid, long-lasting antidepressant effects. However, psychedelics often produce unfavorable psychoactive effects that could worsen existing psychological distress. Thus, we compared the effects of psilocybin and the related tryptamine, norbaeocystin, on anxiety-like behavior in male and female rats. In Experiment 1, rats were treated with 1 mg/kg psilocybin (PSIL), 1 mg/kg norbaeocystin (NOR), or vehicle 30 min before a 5-min trial on an elevated plus maze (EPM) or in an open field test (OFT). On the EPM, PSIL led to decreased open arm time and fewer arm entries in males and females. NOR led to …

Electronic Recording Of Custodial Interrogations: A Jurisdictional Analysis Of U.S. State Requirements, Alyssa Fox Apr 2026

Electronic Recording Of Custodial Interrogations: A Jurisdictional Analysis Of U.S. State Requirements, Alyssa Fox

Psychology Student Publications

  • Custodial interrogations serve as the primary mechanism through which information is gained for evidence.
  • Human memory is reconstructive rather than reproductive, leaving it vulnerable to contamination and suggestibility, especially with employment of psychological interrogation tactics and the inherently coercive nature of custodial interrogations. This causes false confessions, which lead directly into wrongful convictions.
  • Juveniles and people with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to this, with heightened compliance and diminished decision-making capacity.
  • Electronic recording of custodial interrogations has emerged as a safeguard against false confessions through documentation, accountability, and preservation; however, practical implementation remains limited.

Doomed To Scroll: Examining The Role Of Motives In Problematic Social Media Use And Associated Psychopathologies, Charlotte Eley Apr 2026

Doomed To Scroll: Examining The Role Of Motives In Problematic Social Media Use And Associated Psychopathologies, Charlotte Eley

Psychology Student Publications

Problematic Social Media (PSMU) is a serious concern in society—as illustrated by recent lawsuits filed against big tech companies.

PSMU is related to anxiety and depression, but the directionality of that relationship remains unclear (Andreassen et al., 2016; Coyne et al., 2020).

Time spent on social media, by itself, is not a strong indicator of negative physical or mental health outcomes (Burénet al., 2023; Coyne et al., 2020), suggesting that certain motivational or dispositional factors may underlie and further explain PSMU.

This study aims to examine how one’s motives behind using social media relate to the experience of fear of …

Halo: High Autonomous Low-Swap Operations, Sloan Hatter, Blake Gisclair

Mathematics and System Engineering Student Publications

Orbital object detection is a vital aspect of space operations, particularly for identifying satellite components. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are typically used for such operations by running onboard models directly on satellite systems. However, a new neural network architecture, known as Vision Transformers (ViTs), have shown greater effectiveness due to their ability to capture global context. One main issue of deploying systems with such capabilities is resource allocation. One solution is to run models on a Low-SWaP system; however, this results in inefficient performance. To enable efficient ViT operations on Low-SWaP systems, the model must be scaled down through quantization, …
