FIDAC: An Easy-to-use Pipeline to Extract and Interpret Interpersonal Distance From Video

The distance between persons reveals significant information about their perception of each other. However, such information is not easily extractable and interpretable from video input. We developed an open-sourced library, Facial Interpersonal Distance Analysis and Coding (FIDAC) that transforms facial detection results into actionable data about location and interpersonal distance. This tool merges data from multiple open-source facial detection models, strategically compensating for gaps in any individual model. In addition, we include methods for more accurate tracking, such as a pipeline for human coding of the selection of faces and a benchmarking tool to reduce depth distortion. For next steps, we plan on building upon FIDAC by evaluating its effectiveness at measuring interpersonal distance at various depths and orientations while further integrating features of proxemic analysis such as synchrony into its software.

All in One: Generative Modeling as Mean-Field Game Design

Mean-field games (MFGs) offer a unifying lens on continuous-time generative modeling: a cost tuple recovering twelve prominent models---Continuous Normalizing Flows, OT-Flow, Score-based Models, Schrödinger Bridges, and more---as special cases of one variational problem. Yet two dimensions of this space remain entirely unexplored: the interaction term $\mathcal{I}$ is set to zero in many existing models, and the rich family of MFG solvers has never been applied to generative modeling. We address both gaps with MFGLab an open-source PyTorch library whose primary API is the cost tuple: all twelve models are specified by four composable cost functions, and the training loop, log-Jacobian, and reverse-ODE sampler are shared automatically. We additionally propose DI-Flow, a novel cost design that uses a differentiable entropy functional to encourage mode coverage, and provide learning-based MFG solvers that substantially outperform neural training on stochastic-dynamics rows. Experiments on two 2-D benchmarks confirm that the unified API is lossless relative to hand-coded implementations.

RadHarmony: Radiological Data Handling in the Era of Agentic AI

Training deep learning models on radiological images requires integrating heterogeneous datasets across different sources, file formats, directory layouts, label schemas, and annotation types. We present RadHarmony, an open-source Python library that provides a unified API for loading, harmonizing, and augmenting radiological datasets, with a primary focus on chest radiographs and early support for computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RadHarmony standardizes metadata from 24 public datasets into a single tabular format, wraps MONAI's map-style datasets for deep-learning-ready sample delivery with optional on-disk caching, and supports classification labels, segmentation masks, bounding boxes, and radiology report text through a single interface, with an interactive visualization tool for dataset exploration and verification. To lower the barrier for integrating new datasets, RadHarmony introduces an AI-agent skill that guides the full integration workflow from raw data inspection through code generation and testing. We demonstrate the library's utility by pretraining RadHarmony-ViT, a reference vision transformer baseline that combines three heterogeneous chest radiograph datasets with no dataset-specific code. The code and pretrained model weights are available at https://github.com/f10409/RadHarmony.

OpenLanguageModel: Readable and Composable Small-Language-Model Pretraining for Education and Research

OpenLanguageModel (OLM) is an open-source PyTorch library for building and pretraining small language models while keeping their machinery visible. In OLM, model code reads like the architecture: components are ordinary modules, while Block, Residual, Repeat, and Parallel describe how they are wired. The resulting model can move unchanged from a teaching notebook to a complete pretraining run or a research ablation. OLM connects this readable model layer to tokenizers, local and streaming datasets, optimization, mixed precision, callbacks, checkpoints, and hardware-aware CPU, single-GPU, and single-node multi-GPU execution. We demonstrate the full path by tracing GPT-2 from diagram to code, launching a FineWeb-Edu training script, replacing one attention component, and letting AutoTrainer configure the available machine. The package includes 27 presets across nine familiar model families and documentation that progresses from LM fundamentals to architecture research. Validation shows close agreement with independent reference implementations, 90.6% four-GPU weak-scaling efficiency for a 348M-parameter workload, compact architecture edits, and positive early usability results. OLM is MIT-licensed and available through PyPI, GitHub, and its documentation site.

SupplyNetPy: An Open-Source Python Library for High-Fidelity Modeling and Simulation of Arbitrary Supply Chain and Inventory Networks

This paper introduces SupplyNetPy, an open-source, well-documented Python library for modeling and discrete-event simulation of supply chain networks with arbitrary multi-echelon structures. It supports multiple replenishment policies, perishable inventory, node disruptions, and stochastic demand and lead times. All components are extensible via inheritance. Users describe a supply chain as a graph with node and link attributes, while the library handles simulation, providing logs and extensive node and network level performance reports. This paper presents the motivation, design, key features, and architecture of SupplyNetPy, along with detailed validation results (against analytical benchmarks, a commercial tool, and a published case study). A key motivation behind SupplyNetPy's development is programmatic generation and simulation of complex models, enabling design-space exploration, what-if analysis, training data generation, and supply chain digital twins.

Unified Zero-Shot Time Series Forecasting: A Darts Foundation

Since its initial release in 2020, Darts has become a widely used open-source Python library for time series analysis. A series of foundation models have recently claimed accuracy improvements in zero-shot forecasting, promising a paradigm shift from training custom models to harnessing pre-trained general-purpose forecasters. Foundation models, however, are often released as isolated packages with fragmented interfaces and limited interoperability with common tooling, making joint evaluation and integration within complete pipelines difficult. In Darts, we developed a unified $\texttt{FoundationModel}$ class collection (Chronos-2, TimesFM 2.5, TiRex, PatchTST-FM) that provides standardized, full-cycle forecasting interfaces with minimal external dependencies for integrating foundation models into the ecosystem. Existing Darts pipelines can now use foundation models with only a name change; new pipelines can use them for zero-shot or fine-tuned forecasting, uncertainty estimation, and backtesting, combined with data processing and evaluation tooling, all within a unified framework.

TorchKM is an open-source library for kernel machines, including support vector machines, kernel logistic regression, and kernel quantile regression, with GPU acceleration. The library features a scikit-learn-style API and is designed to exploit GPU-friendly linear algebra, accelerating the full training and model-selection pipeline through intelligent reuse of matrix operations. Benchmarks show competitive predictive performance with substantial speedups over standard baselines. The efficiency and programmable design also make TorchKM a kernel-learning component for AI-driven workflows.
