Direct-Ink-Writing of Soft Thin Film Force-Sensitive Resistors with Velostat and Printed-Carbon Sensing Elements

Mostafa Mo. Massoud, Paulo H. T. F Alves, Timothy Kennedy, Jacqueline Libby

原文摘要

Flexible resistive force sensors are useful for wearable, rehabilitation, and human--machine interfaces, but their performance depends on sensing-material architecture and fabrication. This work presents a parameterized Voltera NOVA-based direct-ink-writing workflow using printed silver electrodes with multilayer Velostat sensing elements on PET and TPU substrates, together with an exploratory fully printed carbon architecture. Velostat sensors containing 1, 2, 4, and 6 sensing layers exhibited strongly nonlinear force--voltage responses, with the greatest sensitivity at low forces. Best-fit straight-line $R^2$ values ranged from 0.475 to 0.641, area-based hysteresis from 3.90\% to 7.47\%, and 5-min voltage drift from 1.9\% to 7.3\%, with no consistent monotonic relationship between layer count and these metrics. Selected PET6 and TPU6 devices showed less than 0.05~V change in peak output between the first and final 100 cycles of a 10,000-cycle test. Printed-carbon devices demonstrated the feasibility of a more fully printed architecture, but configurations with six or fewer layers saturated below approximately 0.5~N or were nonfunctional, while the eight-layer device responded primarily below approximately 2~N. These results establish the feasibility of the printed-electrode Velostat workflow while identifying printed sensing materials as a key area for further development.

Detecting and Understanding Ambiguity in Visualizations with Role-Playing Vision Language Model Interpretations

Garrick Chan, Yun-Hsin Kuo, Sam Yu-Te Lee, Yinuo Tang, Kwan-Liu Ma

原文摘要

Communicative visualizations can support multiple chart-grounded takeaways, including divergent or conflicting ones; we refer to this variation as interpretive ambiguity. Such ambiguity can undermine a visualization's communicative goal when the supported takeaways diverge from its intended message. Evaluating visualizations with target audiences can surface this variation, but such evaluations can be costly and difficult to scale. In this work, we explore persona-conditioned Vision Language Models (VLMs) as a complementary evaluation tool for interpretive ambiguity. For a given visualization, our pipeline uses topic-relevant personas to elicit candidate contextual takeaways supported by interpretations of perceived visual patterns, such as trends and clusters. We derive a Target--Pattern--Scope framework for comparing these interpretations, use LLM judges to assign Compatible, Disjoint, or Opposing ambiguity labels to statement pairs, and summarize their distribution in an ambiguity profile. To improve chart grounding, we benchmark candidate VLMs on chart comprehension and select the highest-performing model for each chart type. We evaluate statement-pair labeling against human-authored annotations and apply the approach to real-world, public-facing visualizations curated from established datasets. Through case studies, we examine how perceived visual patterns relate to contextual takeaways and how a visualization redesign changes the sampled interpretations. Our findings show how persona-conditioned VLMs can complement human feedback by generating candidate contextual takeaways and surfacing potential ambiguity for further inspection.

MegaOps: A Kernel Overlapping Framework with PyTorch-like Modularity and Megakernel Performance

Jinkun Lin, Byungsoo Oh, Rachee Singh

原文摘要

Modern ML frameworks execute models using the kernel-per-operator paradigm, which runs each operator as a separate GPU kernel. This paradigm is modular, since developers can compose various kernel implementations and profile each kernel in isolation. However, this paradigm enforces dependencies at the granularity of entire kernels, which places a barrier between dependent kernels. These barriers cause streaming multiprocessors to idle, serialize computation and communication, and prevent a kernel from prefetching its weights while the preceding kernel runs. Megakernels remove kernel barriers by fusing the operators of an entire layer or model into a single kernel, but they give up the modularity of the kernel-per-operator paradigm. In this work, we ask whether a kernel-per-operator ML framework can perform on par with megakernels. Our key insight is that removing kernel barriers does not require fusing kernels. We develop MegaOps, a framework that launches dependent kernels on separate CUDA streams and enforces each dependency on individual tiles of the intermediate tensor that the producer kernel writes and the consumer kernel reads. Since kernels synchronize on data tiles instead of on each other's thread blocks, any two kernels that adopt the same data tiling can be composed without modifying either kernel. We evaluate MegaOps on dense Llama3 and Qwen3 models on single H100, A100, and L40 GPUs and on multi-GPU servers with 4$\times$A100 and 8$\times$H100. Our MegaOps framework matches the throughput of hand-tuned ThunderKittens megakernels, and achieves 1.09$\times$-1.10$\times$ the decode throughput and 0.98$\times$-1.10$\times$ the prefill throughput of the best-performing baseline, while reusing existing Triton, cuBLAS, and cuDNN kernels.

Pseudo-Labeling for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation with Kernel GLMs

Nathan Weill, Kaizheng Wang

原文摘要

We propose a principled framework for unsupervised domain adaptation under covariate shift in kernel Generalized Linear Models (GLMs), encompassing kernelized linear, logistic, and Poisson regression with ridge regularization. Our goal is to minimize prediction error in the target domain by leveraging labeled source data and unlabeled target data, despite differences in covariate distributions. We partition the labeled source data into two batches: one for training a family of candidate models, and the other for building an imputation model. This imputation model generates pseudo-labels for the target data, enabling robust model selection. We establish non-asymptotic excess-risk bounds that characterize adaptation performance through an "effective labeled sample size", explicitly accounting for the unknown covariate shift. Experiments on synthetic and real datasets demonstrate consistent performance gains over source-only baselines.

What Can a VLA Learn from the Agent That Calls It? Task-Level Experience Distillation for Embodied Navigation

Jinze Tao, Yuxiao Han, Kangkang Dong, Yancong Wei, Xiaojun Zhu, Bokui Chen, Houde Liu

原文摘要

Navigation agents use a large language model (LLM) planner to call a vision-language-action (VLA) model. Each episode needs the LLM, adding cost and delay. We distill successful agent experience into the VLA instead of distilling the planner. The VLA then navigates alone at test time. Agent sessions are not VLA demonstrations. They include motions driven by planner tools and sub-instructions, along with detours. We present H2E, a task-level experience distillation method that converts these sessions into VLA training data. Every motion becomes a VLA action under the original task instruction, with the resulting poses as targets. H2E masks the loss on steps that move away from the goal. It labels every visited state within 1 m of the goal as a stop. We then update the VLA with low-rank adaptation. The VLA learns to stop at the goal and find goals the base model never reaches. On all 3,189 REVERIE-CE val-unseen episodes, H2E raises the success rate of an 8B VLA from 35.0% to 44.9%.

SEC: One-Share Everywhere-Short Secret Sharing from Lossless Expanders

Muhammad Arzaki, Muhammed F. Esgin, Amin Sakzad, Ron Steinfeld

原文摘要

We introduce SEC, an expander-code-based ramp secret sharing scheme over $\mathbb{Z}$-modules, particularly suitable for lattice-based distributed cryptography. It is everywhere-short: bounded secret coefficients yield bounded share coefficients, and the integer reconstruction vectors have bounded entries. Moreover, each participant receives exactly one share, regardless of the number of parties and the privacy and reconstruction thresholds. This improves on prior schemes with bounded share coefficients and bounded entries in the integer reconstruction vectors, in which the number of sub-shares or shares per participant grows either with the number of parties and the threshold or with the security parameter. The construction rests on a coding-theoretic observation: in the bi-adjacency matrix of a lossless bipartite expander, unique-neighbor peeling completes every sufficiently small set of columns to a square unimodular submatrix. We prove correctness, everywhere-shortness, and linearity, and give a publicly computable entrywise bound on the reconstruction vector our algorithm returns for each authorized set. For privacy, we introduce hard-core local leakage resilience, which strengthens the leakage-resilience notion of Nielsen and Simkin (EUROCRYPT 2020) to protect a hard-core function of the secret, and we prove that SEC satisfies it against correlated multi-query local leakage under the MatrixHint-MLWE problem, which admits a reduction from the standard MLWE problem. For $n=60$ participants and security parameter $κ=128$, SEC achieves privacy threshold 6 against $2^{64}$ leakage queries and empirical reconstruction threshold 46. The ideal entropy-coded secret and share sizes are about 3.5 KiB and 6.4 KiB, respectively.

Environment-Robust Representation Learning with Empirical Bayes

Yuli Slavutsky, Matthew Shen, Bohan Wu, David M. Blei

原文摘要

We consider multi-environment prediction problems. We assume the environments change the distribution of a latent variable, while the mechanisms generating observed covariates and targets remain stable conditional on that variable. For example, hospitals or clinical cohorts may differ in the prevalence of latent patient states, even though the relationships between those states, physiological measurements, and outcomes remain unchanged. Given a dataset from multiple environments, we formulate a Bayesian model for such problems and derive the corresponding variational objective. We show that this objective decomposes into per-environment terms and an additional cross-environment balancing term induced by the model's structure. We use an empirical Bayes method to set the prior and incorporate it into the objective. Based on this objective, we develop an amortized variational algorithm for posterior approximation, and use the resulting learned latent variables to form predictions in new environments.We study our approach through simulations and real-world studies of astronomical source identification, microbiome-based disease detection, and ICU sepsis prediction. Across these settings, our method outperforms previous approaches for prediction in new environments.

Disentangled Embedding Optimization for Diffusion-Based Dataset Distillation

Hongcheng Li, Yucan Zhou, Yibin Wang, Xiaoyan Gu, Bo Li, Weiping Wang

原文摘要

Dataset distillation aims to compress large-scale datasets into compact synthetic subsets that enable efficient model training with comparable performance to the original data. Recent advances show that diffusion models are highly effective for this task due to their strong generative capability. Existing diffusion-based approaches typically perform class-wise clustering and use the obtained cluster prototypes as diffusion inputs to generate distilled samples. However, the uniformly distributed original samples in a category inevitably lead to entanglement near cluster boundaries, pulling the cluster prototypes closer and reducing the inter-cluster separation. Consequently, the diffusion model receives overly similar latent inputs, resulting in synthetic data with limited diversity. To address this issue, we propose Disentangled Embedding Optimization (DEO), a simple yet effective framework that replaces static clustering with trainable embeddings. These embeddings are optimized to match the Gaussian statistics (i.e., mean and covariance) of the original data distribution, while a diversity regularizer is designed to encourage separation among these embeddings to improve the intra-class variability. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed DEO can generate more diversified and representative distilled data than existing cluster-based diffusion methods, achieving state-of-the-art performance and superior generalization across multiple datasets.

We Are What We Remember: Mental-State-Driven Memory for Long-Term Character Dialogue

Zhicheng Jia, Shuchen Wu, Zhuoshi Tong, Haisen Liao, Sicheng Zhou

原文摘要

Shared history in human dialogue is not merely a repository of facts, but the foundation of evolving relationships and mutual understanding. However, mainstream conversational memory systems rely on passive semantic similarity over external fact stores, frequently retrieving topically similar records while missing relationally pivotal experiences. Inspired by cognitive psychology's Self-Memory System (SMS), we propose MindMem, a mental-state-driven memory framework that asynchronously consolidates shared experiences into source-linked mental states of the character, the user, and their relationship. At each turn, a specialized mental-state reasoner (Mind) contextualizes these persistent states to anticipate latent user needs, form proactive intentions, and recover supporting episodic evidence that surface-level matching overlooks. To evaluate history-sensitive adaptation beyond factual recall, we introduce MemReal-Bench, a longitudinal benchmark grounded in month-long real-user interactions across dyadic and group scenes. By pairing Direct Question Answering (DQA) with Situated Memory Realization (SMR), it tests whether agents bridge the gap between knowing past facts and naturally using shared history, world rules, and relational trajectories. On MemReal-Bench, MindMem reaches 59.03% SMR and 82.58% DQA, exceeding the strongest memory baseline by 24.19 and 9.19 percentage points, respectively, and outperforming oracle target-memory injection on SMR. Code and dataset are available at https://github.com/jiazhicheng7-ctrl/MindMem.

BWM-Forge: Agentic World Programming for Embodied Intelligence

BWM Team

原文摘要

Generating diverse robot videos requires control over scene geometry, robot motion, and viewpoints. End-to-end video generation offers limited direct access to these variables, making targeted edits and reuse across tasks difficult. We present BWM-Forge, a code-driven framework for controllable video generation in robotics. Given robot assets and a task description, the framework accepts an initial image, an image with motion data, or a human demonstration video. A coding agent constructs editable Blender scene programs that specify objects, robot motion, and cameras. The resulting proxy videos provide structural and motion references for a video generation model, which adds visual detail. A multi-agent harness coordinates input processing, scene construction, review, and rendering. Automated evaluation and user feedback support iterative refinement, while an experience repository stores and retrieves reusable modeling and rendering rules. This design supports multiple robot embodiments, synchronized viewpoints, and appearance variation from a shared scene program. We evaluate the framework on 15 tasks covering five robot types. Compared with LingBot-World Base Cam on these tasks, BWM-Forge achieves higher aesthetic quality, imaging quality, subject and background consistency, motion smoothness, and RoboJudge-9B physical adherence and instruction alignment scores. The baseline scores higher in dynamic degree. Qualitative cases illustrate viewpoint control, scene variation, feedback-driven edits, and experience reuse across scenes. These results demonstrate a practical approach to generating controllable robot videos through editable, executable scene representations.

Common-Neighbor-Count-Based Representative Possible World Finding on Uncertain Graphs

Chengjie Gu, Xiaoliang Xu, Yuxiang Wang, Kai Yao, Mengzhao Wang, Tianxing Wu, Yingjie Xia, Xiangyu Ke

原文摘要

Given an uncertain graph $\mathcal{G}$ with probabilistic edges, a representative possible world (RPW) is a deterministic graph that closely preserves the expected value of a designated basic structural feature in $\mathcal{G}$. As a proxy for $\mathcal{G}$, the RPW allows us to directly obtain approximate expectations of the higher-order features related to this preserved basic feature, thereby avoiding expensive enumeration or sampling on $\mathcal{G}$. Existing RPWs preserve per-node features such as degree and triangle degree but overlook common-neighbor counts between node pairs. As a result, they may poorly approximate the expected values of higher-order features that depend on these counts, e.g., Jaccard coefficient. Therefore, we study the \underline{C}ommon-neighbor-count-based \underline{R}epresentative \underline{P}ossible \underline{W}orld (CRPW) problem, extending RPWs from node features to node-pair features. Our problem seeks the possible world that best preserves the expected numbers of common neighbors between node pairs, and we prove that it is NP-hard. To address it, we develop a two-stage basic algorithm that quickly initializes a possible world and then refines it iteratively. We next accelerate the refinement with a counting-based estimation, as the refinement only requires determining whether an edge state change to the possible world is beneficial, rather than computing its exact magnitude. Furthermore, we design a Beta distribution-based adaptive termination method to automatically stop the refinement once the desired quality of the possible world is reached, preventing over- or under-execution. Extensive experiments on five real-world uncertain graphs demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithms in preserving structural features.

WorldDraft: If Code Builds the World, Can Video Models Just Render It?

Zhiyu Hou, Wen-Jie Shu, Harold Haodong Chen, Weilin Ruan, Chenfei Liao, Liuzhou Zhang, Disen Lan, Xiaogang Xu 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Multimodal coding agents decouple 4D world construction from visual generation, repurposing video models from world generators toward generative renderers. This division of labor raises a fundamental question: if code builds the world, can video models just render it? A reliable generative renderer hinges on two complementary criteria: (i) world preservation, retaining prescribed 4D kinematics and camera paths; and (ii) visual realization, persistently binding text-specified target attributes over time. To evaluate this capability, we introduce WorldDraft, a benchmark of $432$ strictly paired test cases across $48$ executable 4D world families spanning six dynamic challenge categories. Under a $3 \times 3$ factorial design, WorldDraft orthogonally crosses draft granularity (abstract proxy to previs) and appearance alignment (neutral to conflicting) under identical dynamics. Extensive evaluations across $12$ representative models reveal that: (I) world preservation and visual realization remain in stark operational tension; (II) richer draft scaffolding anchors structure but paradoxically impairs appearance fidelity; and (III) conflicting source cues trigger severe source leakage (up to $64\%$), exposing fragile cross-modal disentanglement. To mitigate these bottlenecks, we propose WorldDraft-Primer, a plug-and-play visual prompting strategy that consistently improves both objectives across frozen video renderers. Together, WorldDraft and WorldDraft-Primer lay a foundation for bridging programmatic 4D simulation with video generation, advancing physically grounded generative rendering.

Guided Generation of Linux Kernel Semantic Patches with Small Local Language Models

Mohanned Ahmed

原文摘要

When a Linux kernel API changes, hundreds of drivers are converted by hand over months, and the earlier conversions are reviewed examples for the later ones. We ask whether small open language models running on a laptop can turn such examples into Coccinelle semantic patches, the rules kernel maintainers already use for tree-wide changes. We adapt guided code generation to this task: the training examples are decomposed by script into a tree of change variants, the model writes one small rule per variant under feedback from applying it to the examples, deterministic components repair SmPL syntax and generalise driver-specific names, rules are composed greedily, and a compile critic repairs or rejects a rule whose output does not build. We evaluate on a pre-registered test set of 7 migrations whose new APIs appeared after the training cutoffs of all three models (Qwen2.5-Coder 7B, Llama 3.1 8B, Gemma 3 4B), with 122 held-out driver conversions, counting a conversion as solved only if the rule's output matches the human fix and compiles. With the framework, Qwen2.5-Coder solves 35.3 conversions on average over three seeds (range 32-41), against 1.0 when prompted directly; Spinfer solves 41 and a frontier LLM agent 66. The local model solves fewer conversions than Spinfer but its rules are the most precise on the test set (0.74 of the files they change are solved, against 0.55 for Spinfer and 0.70 for the frontier agent), and the compile critic removes every output that matches the human fix but does not build. The two general-purpose models stay weak even with guidance (at most 12 solved). All code, prompts, model responses and results are released.

Visibility-Aware Task and Motion Planning with Task-Centric Perception

Sahit Chintalapudi, Xiaoyan Wang, Aryan Zoroufi, Aditya Agarwal, Nancy Kanwisher, Tomás Lozano-Pérez, Leslie Pack Kaelbling

原文摘要

Long-horizon manipulation under uncertainty remains a challenging problem in robotics. We present \ourmethod{}, an algorithm for Visibility-Aware Task and Motion Planning. \ourmethod{} extends existing deterministic task and motion planning solvers to partially observable object rearrangement tasks, while still being able to take advantage of the efficiency and compositional generalization over long horizons of the base solver. This extension interleaves sensing actions into a plan skeleton that assumed full observability, and uses a novel persistent object-based memory to fuse observations into object mesh hypotheses and an observed occupancy map. We evaluate \ourmethod{} on real-world tabletop rearrangement tasks which feature heavy occlusion and partial visibility and demonstrate that it outperforms baselines that do not perform active perception or have persistent memory.

SPEM: Scan-Prior Entropy Modeling for LiDAR Point Cloud Compression

Bojun Liu, Yangzhi Ma, Jie Li, Dong Liu, Li Li

原文摘要

LiDAR point clouds exhibit scan-induced spatial regularities that are informative for geometry compression. Existing scan-aware approaches often exploit these regularities by transforming coded geometry into spherical or beam-aligned coordinate systems. However, this couples acquisition priors with geometry representation, altering spatial partitioning and quantization, and potentially preventing exact recovery of the original Cartesian geometry. We argue that acquisition priors should guide probability modeling rather than dictate the coding representation. We propose SPEM, a Scan-Prior Entropy Modeling framework that exploits LiDAR scanning regularities within the entropy model without requiring coordinate transformation. We introduce a multi-frequency spherical rotary positional encoding that captures scan-aligned spatial relationships in both backbone self-attention and decoded-context retrieval. Building upon this encoding, we develop a decoded-memory autoregressive predictor that efficiently exploits previously decoded occupancy information through reusable key/value caches. Experiments demonstrate state-of-the-art performance in both lossy and lossless LiDAR geometry compression, highlighting the effectiveness of scan-prior modeling across different coordinate representations.

One Fuzzer, Many Reasoners: Adaptive Neuro-Symbolic Fuzzing with Reliability-Calibrated and Context-Gated Guidance

Jinghao Wen, Xianglong Yu, Shaohuang Wang, Xun Jiao

原文摘要

Neural-symbolic AI (NSAI) combines learned perception with programs, constraints, and compositional reasoning, but remains difficult to test because small semantics-preserving changes can alter grounded symbols and trigger discontinuous reasoning failures. Existing neural fuzzers mainly rely on neural coverage or representation-space feedback and do not provide a common testing interface for heterogeneous NSAI systems. We introduce NSAI-Fuzz, a unified semantics-aware fuzzing framework that separates task-specific valid mutation from architecture-neutral guided search and represents each candidate using five availability-aware, rank-normalized risk signals: boundary pressure, grounding uncertainty, representation drift, constraint violation, and archive novelty. We further propose Reliability-Calibrated Weighting (RCW), which learns dataset-model-level signal allocations from calibrated reliability, and Contextual Signal Gating (CSG), which adapts signal weights to the current candidate pool. We evaluate four NSAI systems across four reasoning tasks, nine compatible dataset-model cells, 20 policies, and 1,800 on-policy runs. Fixed five-signal guidance outperforms Random and Uniform in every cell, while RCW and CSG further improve over Fixed in all nine cells. Under matched mutation and query budgets, RCW and CSG achieve 16.17% and 16.06% aggregate failure discovery, compared with 6.06% for the strongest neural-fuzzing baseline. Wall-clock evaluation further shows that TensorFuzz requires 1.11x the runtime of RCW while achieving only 0.45x its failure throughput. These results show that effective and efficient fuzzing of heterogeneous NSAI systems benefits from a common neural-symbolic risk interface with adaptive signal allocation.

Core nonemptiness for $2/3$-convex games

Keisuke Bando, Toshiyuki Hirai, Kenzo Imamura, Ryuhei Mizutani

原文摘要

We study the core of $2/3$-convex games, a class of transferable-utility (TU) games that generalizes convex games, which requires at least two of any three distinct coalitions satisfy the supermodular inequality. We show that every $2/3$-convex game admits a marginal worth vector in the core, and hence has a nonempty core. Our proof is constructive and yields a linear-time algorithm for finding such a core allocation. We also show that $2/3$-convexity does not imply permutational convexity in general, while the implication holds under an additional superadditivity condition on pairs of singletons. As an application, we introduce a TU model motivated by the OSCE's consensus-minus-two procedure and show that the resulting game is $2/3$-convex but need not be convex.

Turning Multi-Agent Communication into Token-Level Credit with On Policy Self Distillation

Zixu Wang, Yu Zhao, Xing Zheng, Bingbing Xu, Tian Xueyun, JiaTang Luo, Weiqiang Wang, Bowen Song 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Reinforcement learning improves problem solving in large language model multi-agent systems. Existing approaches overlook communication knowledge or compress it into scalar rewards, leaving coarse credit with little guidance on which decisions each agent should reinforce or revise. OPSD4MAS converts future communication into fine-grained token-level credit through On Policy Self Distillation (OPSD). An external model extracts facts and assesses their trajectory relations for coarse-grained filtering, followed by fine-grained leave-one-out filtering of target-token influence against agent-wise outcome advantages. The fact-conditioned policy supplies token-level credit, combined with GRPO through a linearly annealed joint objective. Our method improves mathematical pass@4 over GRPO by up to 20.00 percentage points. Ablations support complete filtering, while frozen-history injection diagnostics support fact utility. Together, these results support combining agent-level outcome guidance with communication-derived token-level credit. Code is available at https://github.com/Camel-Prince/OPSD4MAS.

When can multi-fragment 2D/3D registration be trusted? Calibrated certification and uncertainty-driven view planning for pelvic fracture fluoroscopy

Bowen Xiang

原文摘要

Registering a segmented CT to fluoroscopy can locate every fracture fragment but can guide surgery only when trusted. After each shot, our closed loop registers all fragments, bounds their errors with a calibrated sandwich covariance, flags implausible or ambiguous ones, and stops or plans the next view. On simulated fluoroscopy of 60 held-out fracture CTs with realistic image uncertainty, 95% bounds covered 83% of unflagged fragments and 91% of those within 5mm, but from the second view on 14% failed by over 5mm, a third with bounds of at most 2mm. A fragment's shift when a view was added separated tightly bounded failures best (exploratory; AUC 0.94, bound 0.81). Requiring that the newest view moved no fragment beyond its bound, preferred post hoc, lowered false stops at 2mm from 23% to 6% overall, with 345 instead of 362 correct ones but more trajectories uncertified; delaying the stop did not, and other signals at equal acceptance left 10-15% false. With a segmentation error shared by all views (median Dice 0.89), 21% of this rule's stops were false against 10% without it (15 cases; exploratory). Minimax planning certified sooner than the clinical protocol without the check (4.20 versus 4.72 shots, Holm p <0.001), but no criterion reached the pre-specified endpoint, a true 2mm error, significantly sooner, even in the true basin. On real fluoroscopy of five intact pelves no 2mm certificate was false. Trust takes evidence across views, not only a calibrated local bound.

Beyond the Trial-and-Error Loop: Hybrid Projection and Automated Tuning for Distributed Training

Anshu Raina, Peyman Razaghi, Yuankai Chen, Cheng Yao, Yao Fu, Vidushi Goyal, Devang Patel, Wen Xie 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Configuring distributed LLM training across hundreds of GPUs requires jointly optimizing tensor, pipeline, expert, context, and data parallelism alongside micro-batch size, recomputation, sharding, and overlap, a combinatorial space where memory legality can hinge on a single byte of activation accounting. Today, teams navigate it through expensive multi-node trial and error, burning GPU-hours on crashes and suboptimal recipes. We present Primus Projection, which closes this loop with two coupled components. First, a hybrid projection engine that measures what it can and simulates what it cannot: GPU microbenchmarks on as few as a single device capture compute kernels and any in-scope communication; a sub-node downscale-measure-upscale workflow analytically restores out-of-scope collectives, FSDP overlap, and the full pipeline schedule at the multi-node target. A pure simulation mode runs entirely on CPU, enabling pre-silicon planning without any GPU. Second, the Primus Tuning Agent treats the projection engine as a fast scoring oracle (seconds per candidate instead of tens of minutes) and uses it to drive an intelligent search over the configuration space. A deterministic seed planner sweeps single axes; an LLM investigation loop proposes cross-axis combinations the planner cannot reach, with an analytic memory pre-filter that rejects infeasible candidates before any GPU time is spent. Validated on Llama 3.1 (dense) and Mixtral 8x22B (MoE) across two GPU generations, all projections stay within ~10% of measured multi-node throughput, and fidelity holds at production scale: 4.7% error on DeepSeek V3 671B at 1,024 GPUs and 1.9% on Qwen3-235B-A22B at 256 GPUs. In a Mixtral 8x22B case study, the Primus Tuning Agent discovers a configuration delivering +27% throughput over the published 4-node BF16 reference at the same scale, in under 30 minutes of single-node exploration.

An Agentic Python Framework for LLM-Driven UVM Testbench Synthesis with Closed-Loop Compiler Feedback

Vikash Kumar

原文摘要

Protocol bridge verification is a persistent bottleneck in SoC development: for every new bridge instance, engineers hand-craft a full UVM testbench from scratch, consuming 40--100 engineering hours of bring-up effort. We present an agentic Python framework that generates complete, protocol-aware UVM testbenches for arbitrary IP and subsystem configurations from a structured Verification Manifest---a JSON specification encoding interface topology, protocol semantics, and coverage intent. The framework employs a dual closed-loop architecture: an inner compiler feedback loop that injects categorised UVM diagnostics rather than raw tool output, and an outer coverage loop driven by intent-gap analysis against the Manifest. Validated on the AMBA AHB-to-APB bridge---a representative production protocol bridge with a 7-state control FSM, two-phase APB handshake, and non-trivial burst serialisation logic---the framework achieves 96.8% functional coverage, a $4.7\times$ bring-up speedup, and a Protocol Verification Completeness score of 0.87, with only 2.1% of the generated 4,623-line testbench requiring human correction. The generated scoreboard independently identified a critical RTL functional fault that the manual baseline missed entirely. Generalisation across four protocol families confirms that speedup increases with protocol complexity, ranging from $3.1\times$ (APB Subordinate) to $6.1\times$ (CHI Subordinate).

An Extensive Evaluation of Machine Learning and Deep Learning Approaches for Sentiment Analysis: Insights from Amazon Customer Reviews

Muhammed Ihsan Corak, Cuiyuan Wang, Xiaowen Zhang

原文摘要

The rapid growth of user-generated text on online platforms creates opportunities for understanding customer opinion and supporting data-driven decisions. This study compares five traditional machine learning classifiers (Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Bernoulli Naive Bayes, Linear Support Vector Classifier, and Multinomial Naive Bayes) and six deep learning architectures (LSTM, Bi-LSTM, GRU, RNN, Attention, and FastText) for three-class sentiment classification of 568,454 Amazon Fine Food Reviews. Machine learning models used Bag-of-Words (BoW) and TF-IDF features limited to 5,000 terms; deep learning models used learned embeddings over a 20,000-word vocabulary. Models were evaluated on the original imbalanced data and on a random-oversampled balanced set of 1,070,469 reviews, using accuracy, macro and per-class precision, recall, and F1-score, and training time. On the balanced set, Random Forest with BoW achieved 99\% accuracy and the Attention model achieved 98.7\%. Linear SVC reached 89\% accuracy in 1 min 15 s, and Logistic Regression reached 90\% in 3 min 37 s. On the imbalanced set, the Attention model achieved 97.8\% accuracy, and FastText achieved 95.3\% in 3 min 26 s, while the RNN reached 91.9\% with a neutral-class F1-score of 0.08. Deep learning models were more stable across class distributions, whereas the best classical model depended on balancing. We also report a user-facing application that applies the trained Random Forest and Attention models to new review text. Because the labels are derived from star ratings, the results measure agreement with rating-derived sentiment classes rather than annotated sentiment; the dataset is a single source, and the findings should be read with that limitation in mind.

Where Polanyi Meets Galois: Tacit Knowing as an Algebro-Deterministic Operation, Toward Re-rooting AI-Generated Science

Hiroyuki Chuma, Kanji Otsuka, Yoichi Sato, Kodo Yamauchi

原文摘要

Tacit knowing is an operating regime of one memory substrate, not a separate kind of content. In VaCoAl (CASRAM, PyVaCoAl), an algebro-deterministic hyperdimensional memory over GF(2), one DAG of bound records is read in two ways. With every collision repaired (Rescue), the trace is exactly auditable but no path outranks another; with collisions tolerated (Don't Care), a path-integrated confidence $CR_2$ ranks direct over circuitous routes without being stated. This audit-valuation complementarity formalizes Polanyi's claim that tacit and explicit knowledge are not sharply divided. (1) Polanyi's from-to structure reads as non-commutative binding. (2) Full explication destroys the valuation (Lemma 1), as with Polanyi's pianist; tacitness is contingent or regime-bound, placing Polanyi, Nonaka, Tsoukas and Collins on one substrate. (3) The same lemma answers the popular dual-process moral ("train slow System 2 to tame fast System 1"), which mirrors the two-store reading of knowledge Polanyi rejected; Mercier and Sperber's reply, that reasoning is intuitive inference about reasons, matches his. (4) To know a large DAG is to cull it. Simon answered Polanyi's Meno argument: a test and a generator suffice. The AlphaGo-to-AlphaProof lineage builds that answer, yet a checker audits an endpoint and values no path: the tacit is relocated, not removed, and results are verified yet rootless. (5) Collins's three tacit knowledges map to bound structure, substrate valuation and value binding. (6) Our mentor-student DAG charts tacit transmission. (7) AI-solved problems with few follow-ups (Tao) are rootless explicit knowledge, re-rooted when LLMs generate, VaCoAl keeps the trace and the community values. (8) On Mercier and Sperber's theory an LLM is a sophist; truth-seeking lies in collective tacit knowing, Polanyi's conviviality, which we conjecture extends beyond humans. Testable predictions follow.

"We Are the Dirty Hands": Reimagining an Ambient Intelligence Care System with Professional Caregivers

Andrea Green, Jane L. E, Sneha Jain, Parker Ruth, Matthew Jörke, Sarah L. Billington, James Landay, Andrea Cuadra

原文摘要

While ambient assisted living (AAL) sensing systems offer promise for aging in place, their impacts on professional caregivers are overlooked. We conducted two collective speculation workshops (N=24) with personal health aides (PHAs, n=18) and certified nursing assistants (CNAs, n=6) to examine the ethical implications and value tensions of a care system with ambient intelligence (CSAI), our conceptualization of an AAL. Participants anticipated different implications across care roles and settings. PHAs anticipated additional responsibilities from CSAI, including learning how it operates and supporting older adults in its use. CNAs, who had greater access to workplace resources and protections, similarly noted that CSAI could create additional work. Participants also identified tensions around visibility, as sensing could support caregivers by documenting difficult working conditions while simultaneously making their behavior more vulnerable to misinterpretation. Through their modifications and surfaced discussions, we propose design guidelines for AAL systems, such as integrating context-aware sensing.

Evaluating AI Agents for Industrial-Level Chip Floorplanning: A Framework and Empirical Study

Nova-Silicon Team

原文摘要

Floorplanning is an early step in turning a logical circuit into a physical chip: it positions large circuit modules and constrains the space available for subsequent logic placement and wiring. These decisions affect congestion and timing, but their physical consequences emerge through downstream implementation. For AI agents, the task requires translating engineering constraints into spatial decisions whose quality cannot be judged by successful tool execution alone. We present an evaluation framework that connects submitted layouts to a prescribed downstream implementation flow, checks geometric validity, measures physical quality, and reports resource use. On one industrial design whose 99 macros occupy approximately 71\% of a fixed L-shaped layout region, we compare our specialized system Nova-SI with general-purpose engineering agents and agents restricted to file access, obtaining complete physical measurements for 39 layout outputs. Under our 0--100 composite quality score, Nova-SI achieves a mean of 57.97 without online feedback from the prescribed power-grid and placement evaluation, compared with 31.17 for the strongest measured general-purpose configuration, GPT-6 Astra. The difference is supported by raw congestion and timing measurements and persists across scoring-sensitivity checks. Layout-level analysis further shows that similar global utilization can conceal substantially different local congestion. Together, the protocol and case study assess agents through the physical consequences of their delivered layouts and provide evidence about system performance on this industrial instance.

GA-HEL: A Knowledge-Driven Expert System for Open-Set, Granularity-Aware Hierarchical Event Linking in Social Media

Shengqi Zhou, Zhigang Liu, Wenxiang Zhu, Zhentao Cang

原文摘要

Social-media event intelligence requires a system to determine whether a post belongs to a registered event space, identify the supported hierarchy path, and stop at the deepest level warranted by the evidence. We formulate this requirement as open-set hierarchical event linking over frozen Storyline--Episode--Atomic Event Cards. GA-HEL implements a three-stage, knowledge-driven expert-system funnel: open-set scope control limits candidate exposure before hierarchical reasoning, hierarchy-aware decoders select a supported path and depth, and deterministic legal-path validation checks each record before database-compatible use. A 200-post Pilot supports task and mechanism development, while a separately annotated 497-post Expansion set evaluates transfer across four held-out Storylines and a hard-negative pool. Method implementations, prompts, Event Cards, candidate order, and six systems' predictions were frozen before Expansion Gold annotation. The resulting evaluation combines end-to-end hierarchical matching, open-set rejection, structural validation, ablation, cross-Storyline analysis, and an independent expert reannotation of a fixed audited subset. GA-HEL remains competitive with strong global full-card reasoning while providing explicit scope control and hierarchy-valid structured records. Error analysis identifies unsupported descent from Episode-level evidence to Atomic Events as the dominant remaining challenge. The task definition, frozen resource, and auditable protocol provide a reproducible foundation for scope-aware event intelligence. Code, Event Cards, labels, frozen predictions, and evaluation scripts are available at https://github.com/SHbiao/GAHEL_release.

Weak Composition Theorems for Randomized Communication

Pachara Sawettamalya

原文摘要

We present two results towards the randomized communication complexity of composed functions. Our contributions include: - \textbf{Lifting-by-Influence.} For any binary function $f$ and any outer gadget $g:\{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, we show that up to additive terms, computing $g \circ f^n$ information-theoretically requires solving at least $\operatorname{Inf}(g)$ instances of $f$, where $\operatorname{Inf}(g)$ denotes the total influence of $g$. To our knowledge, this is the first composition lower bound for randomized communication that applies to \emph{every} choice of $f$ and $g$. - \textbf{Symmetric Composition.} When $g$ is a symmetric function with a value transition at Hamming weight $d$, we strengthen the number of required instances to $\min\{d,n+1-d\}$. As an implication, this recovers the previously known direct-sum theorem, XOR lemma, and majority lemma. Our proofs develop novel and distinctive usages of the classical \emph{input embedding} argument of Barak, Braverman, Chen, and Rao (SICOMP 2013). As an additional ingredient, we introduce a new public sampling framework that avoids auxiliary communication during the recovery phase of the protocol, ultimately reducing the extra cost from $O(n)$ bits of information to just $O(1)$.

An Experimental Study of Hybrid Retrieval, NLI and Open-source LLMs for Scientific Claim Verification

Lakshmi Narayanan P, Narenkarthik K, Naren Kumar C

原文摘要

Claim verification is the task of deciding whether a source text supports a claim, contradicts it, or lacks sufficient evidence. Natural Language Inference (NLI) models can judge whether a single sentence supports or contradicts a claim, but they struggle when the evidence is spread across several sentences. Conversely, Large Language Models (LLMs) can reason across sentences, but may draw conclusions the text does not support. In this experimental study, we test whether a conservative fusion rule, labeling a claim Support or Contradict only when both models agree and defaulting to Not Enough Evidence otherwise, combines their strengths. We construct a benchmark of 2,035 claims from SciFact and CliniFact (858 Support, 152 Contradict, 1,025 Not Enough Evidence). We retrieve the top five most relevant sentences per claim using a hybrid of semantic and lexical (BM25) retrieval, which slightly outperforms either method alone. These retrieved sentences are then provided to every verification model. We then compare a DeBERTa-v3-base-mnli-fever-anli NLI baseline against Llama 3.1 8B, Qwen3 8B, and Mistral 7B. Qwen3 achieves the highest Macro-F1 (0.7937), followed by Llama 3.1 (0.7204) and Mistral (0.6388), while the NLI baseline reaches only 0.3157. Contrary to our hypothesis, fusion degrades performance, dropping Macro-F1 to 0.7392, 0.6730, and 0.5991, respectively. To understand this decline, we analyze agreements, disagreements, and common error patterns between the NLI and LLM verifiers. Our error analysis shows that NLI and LLM disagreements often result in correct LLM predictions being overturned.

When can an interpretability claim be trusted? Stability and certification of feature dimensionality, ridge leverage and the feature recovery rate

Ali Tajfar, Behnam Tajfar

原文摘要

Interpretability tools increasingly support safety claims, such as that a sparse dictionary has recovered most of a model's features. Such claims rest on measurements with arbitrary thresholds, and small changes to the model weights, a different training seed or a different threshold can reverse them. We study two widely used measurements in toy models and synthetic dictionaries with known ground truth: the feature dimensionality of Elhage et al. and the feature recovery rate (FRR) with a cosine threshold. We characterize exactly where feature dimensionality is discontinuous and replace it with a regularized (ridge) version with sharp stability bounds: the ridge leverage score changes by at most $3\sqrt{3}/(8\sqrtλ)$ times the operator-norm change of the weights, and this constant cannot be improved; for the regularized dimensionality the stability constant grows like $ρ/4$ in the scale $ρ=R/\sqrtλ$, with explicit upper and lower bounds. We also prove certificates stating when a claim "feature $i$ is recovered" must survive a given change of the dictionary. The certificates held in every test and are informative for small perturbations, but certify no feature non-trivially across independently trained dictionaries; at the standard threshold, whether a feature counts as recovered changed with the training seed for 55 percent of features. Experiments use toy models only. The proofs, code and text were drafted by AI agents directed by the authors and checked by an independent blind AI reviewer and by numerical tests; the authors take full responsibility for the content.

SBA: A Practical Memory Performance Denial-of-Service Attack

Amin Mamandipoor, Connor Rudy Sullivan, Cole Ridge Strickler, Mohammad Alian, Heechul Yun

原文摘要

Modern cloud platforms use memory bandwidth regulation to isolate co-located workloads, implicitly assuming that high aggregate bandwidth consumption implies high interference. We show that this assumption is fundamentally flawed. We present the Single-Bank Attack (SBA), a practical memory denial-of-service attack that induces extreme cross-core slowdowns---over three orders of magnitude on memory-intensive victims (e.g., LLM decode)---while consuming less than 1 GB/s of memory bandwidth. SBA exploits the gap between peak and worst-case DRAM throughput by concentrating memory write operations on a single bank, forcing persistent row conflicts and frequent write draining, thereby collapsing the memory service rate. Across Intel and AMD systems, including DDR5- and HBM2E-based platforms, SBA consistently causes orders-of-magnitude slowdowns under realistic multi-tenant settings, revealing a fundamental limitation of bandwidth-centric memory isolation. We further show that this localized contention propagates system-wide: single-bank congestion saturates memory controller queues and induces back-pressure into shared cache and coherence structures, ultimately throttling memory request injection across cores. Consequently, severe interference can arise even at low aggregate bandwidth, evading existing bandwidth-based QoS mechanisms such as Intel RDT MBA. To address this limitation, we propose IQ-MemGuard, a lightweight, software-based memory bandwidth regulator that detects sustained contention using microarchitectural signals and selectively throttles pathological request injection. Our implementation on an Intel platform effectively mitigates SBA, whereas Intel's hardware QoS mechanism fails completely.
