This page only covers the 1,987 papers with at least one laboratory traced to this country, between 27 October 2025 and 18 August 2026. It is not the entire output of the country.
This is the country of the laboratory, never the nationality of individuals. A paper co-signed from several countries counts in each of them. Coverage is partial and the gap is not random: a researcher whose institution is unknown usually publishes little, which over-represents established labs.

Emerging signals
Phrases appearing markedly more often than usual in this country's papers. Because a national corpus is far smaller than the global one, the selection threshold is proportional to its volume: percentages are jumpier, and a term can rise on a handful of papers.

| Operator-Theoretic Generalization Bounds for Multitask Deep Learning 18 August 2026 | We develop operator-theoretic generalization bounds for deep multi-output function classes by representing network layers as Koopman composition operators on vector-valued… | AI | Stochastic Gradient Optimization Techniques |
| Look Before You Lift: Visual and Quantitative Diagnostics for Topological Deep Learning 18 August 2026 | Topological deep learning (TDL) methods rely on lifting raw data into higher-order discrete domains such as simplicial complexes, cell complexes, and hypergraphs. In practice,… | Computational Theory and Mathematics | Topological and Geometric Data Analysis |
| Distinguishing AI-Generated Music from Edited Audio as a Hard-Negative Robustness Task 18 August 2026 | AI-generated music detectors are commonly evaluated against original songs, but real-world uploads are often remixed, re-encoded, pitch-shifted, or otherwise edited. These edited… | Signal Processing | Music and Audio Processing |
| Interactive Whole Slide Images for RL-based Tumour Segmentation 18 August 2026 | Whole-slide image (WSI) analysis remains computationally challenging due to the extremely large spatial resolution of slides and the sparse distribution of tumour regions. We… | AI | AI in cancer detection |
| Ask, Condition or Abstain: Reinforcement Learning for Missing-Premise Reasoning 18 August 2026 | Answer-only reinforcement learning (RL) trains reasoning models to solve fully specified problems, but many realistic queries omit a premise needed for a unique answer. In this… | AI | Large Language Models |
| STAGE: Controlled Objective Admission for Multi-Preference LLM Alignment 18 August 2026 | Multi-preference alignment is often framed as scalarization: combine reward dimensions, then optimize. This leaves a temporal decision underspecified: when should each preference… | AI | Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) |
| Matched Outcomes, Divergent Gaze: How Foveated MLLMs Search Compared to Humans 18 August 2026 | Human visual search is serial: the fovea must land on a candidate to confirm it, and those landings form a scanpath. Whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs), given the… | Vision | Multimodal Machine Learning Applications |
| OceanDepths: A Global Dataset of Paired Subsurface and Surface Ocean Observations 18 August 2026 | Despite comprising over 70% of its surface, the world's oceans are critically underobserved compared to the land surface or the atmosphere. Understanding the global ocean requires… | Oceanography | Oceanographic and Atmospheric Processes |
| A Cognitively Motivated Multidimensional Framework for Evaluating Metaphor Explanations 18 August 2026 | Current evaluation of metaphor explanations relies mainly on holistic quality ratings, revealing little about how explanation quality is structured or where human judgments agree… | Experimental and Cognitive Psychology | Language, Metaphor, and Cognition |
| NumerosityVLM: A Cognitively Inspired Benchmark for Interpreting Numerosity Representations in Vision-Language Models 18 August 2026 | Vision-language models (VLMs) achieve strong performance on high-level multimodal tasks, yet numerosity perception, a cognitive ability that emerges in human infants before… | Vision | Multimodal Machine Learning Applications |
| Anchor-Regularized Adaptation for Generalizable AI-Generated Image Detection with DINOv3 18 August 2026 | Recent works in AI-generated image detection have shown that careful training data alignment can improve generalization by removing spurious correlations. However, linear probes… | Vision | Advanced Neural Network Applications |
| How Do Agents Fail on AutoResearch: End-to-End Diagnostic Evaluation on 100 Real-World Frontier Research Tasks 18 August 2026 | AI has long assisted scientific research, but the rapid advance of LLMs and agentic scaffolds is reshaping the landscape; a single system can now carry whole-stage research from… | AI | Large Language Models |
| Weakly Supervised Polar Low Segmentation in Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery 17 August 2026 | Polar lows are intense maritime cyclones that form rapidly at high latitudes. Deep learning can detect them in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery, but pixel-level segmentation… | Aerospace Engineering | Advanced SAR Imaging Techniques |
| Local and Global Regimes of Geometric Complexity in Language Model Representations 17 August 2026 | Intrinsic dimensionality (ID) is widely used to probe the representational complexity of language models, but it remains unclear whether ID differences reflect properties of… | Cultural Studies | Language and cultural evolution |
| The Role of Natural Language Understanding in Multimodal Video-Based Dengue Diagnosis 14 August 2026 | Detecting infection-related behavioral changes in mosquitoes from video data is challenging because mosquitoes are small, move rapidly and irregularly, and are affected by… | Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health | Mosquito-borne diseases and control |
| Understanding Why Foundation Models Work for Diffusion-Generated Image Detection 13 August 2026 | Vision foundation models have recently emerged as powerful feature extractors for detecting AI-generated images, achieving strong generalization across generators and robustness… | Vision | Digital Media Forensic Detection |

| Diagnosis Before Recovery: Turning Agent Failures into Selective Self-Correction 13 August 2026 | Self-correction is particularly useful when a failure constrains the next repair. Coding agents benefit from this property because compilers, tests, and execution traces turn many… | Networks | Software System Performance and Reliability |
| Order Matters: LVLMs as Judges for Temporal Reasoning in Image Sequences 12 August 2026 | As generative multimedia evolves from static image synthesis to complex, interleaved visual narratives, a foundational bottleneck has emerged: the judgment crisis.

Across 69,649 papers with at least one lab located, i.e. 76% of the 91,354 papers fully processed between 27 October 2025 and 21 August 2026. 167 countries represented.
This is the country of the laboratory, never the nationality of individuals. A paper signed from several countries counts for each of them, so the shares add up to more than 100%. Coverage is partial and the gap is not random: a researcher whose institution is unknown usually publishes little, which over-represents established labs.
