Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — arXiv
It ranks mainly on source trust: arXiv is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Link-outLink-out, because it did not clear the bar for a write-up. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 26% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trustleads | 0.25 | 0.85 | +0.212 41% | arXiv is the highest-trust source on this story and is first-party — the organisation announcing its own news. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.85 | +0.171 33% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.

What happened
Ambivalence and hesitancy (A/H) are affective states in which individuals express contradictory signals across facial, vocal, and linguistic channels. Automatically recognising A/H in clinical videos requires detecting cross-modal disagreement -- the signal that standard fusion methods suppress. Based on the conflict-aware multimodal fusion framework of Bekhouche et al., we present the Modality Discrepancy Transformer (MDT). MDT enriches the original 6-token design to a 9-token representation comprising three modality embeddings, three absolute-difference features, and three Hadamard-product discrepancy features learned through linear projections.
