What happened

This RSS batch contains six arXiv papers (May 2026) across legal ML, recommender GNNs, AI adoption in science, network centralities, and agent-based social simulation. Key contributions: (1) a temporally structured model for civil litigation using 835,190 filings that models plaintiff win/loss/settlement, reports class AUCs 0.74–0.81 and up to 97% accuracy for high-confidence plaintiff-win predictions, defines case complexity as the entropy of predicted outcomes and shows complexity tends to increase over litigation with settlement rates peaking at intermediate complexity; (2) DG-SA-GNN, a rec
