• Abstract: Medical AI is moving beyond recognition towards clinical dialogue and longitudinal prediction. Yet a central question remains: how would a patient's state change under intervention? Statistical models learn future observations, whereas mechanistic models describe selected processes. Neither provides a common framework for representing patient state, coupling scales or revising failed assumptions. We propose Life Operators: task-bounded mappings that define three scientific roles. Perception operators infer task-relevant biological states from multimodal observations, Evolution operators propagate these states under natural or intervention-conditioned dynamics, and Generation operators map them to measurable signals. Each role may be realised by equations, statistical models, neural networks or hybrids. Bridge operators connect components with different variables, scales and time steps. Selected operators and bridges form task-specific Operator Graphs containing the smallest set of states and mechanisms sufficient for a declared claim. This modular structure also makes scientific revision localisable. An AI co-scientist may propose changes to states, operators, bridges or graph structure, while independent evidence determines which variants are retained, restricted or retired. Over time, validated components could accumulate into broader multiscale models of the human body and provide a computational foundation for medical artificial superintelligence.

  Real-world multi-agent systems are often dynamic and continuous, where the agents co-evolve and undergo changes in their trajectories and interactions over time. We propose a novel model that captures the continuous interaction among agents using a Graph Neural Network (GNN) as the ODE function. The key innovation of our model is to learn time-dependent representations of treatments and incorporate them into the ODE function, enabling precise predictions of potential outcomes.

• Multi-Agent Imitation Learning with Copulas [102.27052968901894]
  Multi-agent imitation learning aims to train multiple agents to perform tasks from demonstrations by learning a mapping between observations and actions. In this paper, we propose to use copula, a powerful statistical tool for capturing dependence among random variables, to explicitly model the correlation and coordination in multi-agent systems. Our proposed model is able to separately learn marginals that capture the local behavioral patterns of each individual agent, as well as a copula function that solely and fully captures the dependence structure among agents.
