  Energy Saving in 5G and Beyond Networks: A Quantum Reinforcement Learning Approach

  Muhammad Usman, Nguyen Van Huynh, Marianna Lezzi, Mariangela Lazoi

  Energy saving has become a critical challenge in 5G and beyond networks. The rapid growth of connected devices has increased the overall network energy demand, driving operational expenditure to unsustainable heights. The Base Station (BS) accounts for the largest share of energy usage, typically consuming around 60-70\% of the Radio Access Network (RAN)'s total energy. Therefore, to address this issue, this article optimizes the BS's energy usage while accounting for the dynamic behavior of User Equipment (UE). Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is a natural candidate for determining effective energy saving policies, such as automatically switching BSs on or off when user density is low or adjusting transmission power to balance energy efficiency and Quality of Service (QoS). However, its heavy training burden and the exponential growth of state and action spaces in dense 5G environments make exploration increasingly difficult. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a novel Quantum Reinforcement Learning (QRL) algorithm that leverages quantum principles, including superposition and entanglement, through parameterized quantum circuits, enabling significantly faster…

  VisAudit: Evaluating Multimodal Agents for Visual Diagnosis and Repair

  Shicheng Liu, Adam Kahirov, Qi Zhang, Zhimin Hu, Song Wang +3

  Multimodal agents are increasingly used for data visualization tasks but remain limited in autonomous review. Unlike humans, they may fail to recognize when a visualization is incorrect, determine what to change, repair it without disrupting correct content, and verify whether the intervention succeeded. Existing benchmarks largely evaluate predefined individual capabilities such as chart generation, instruction-guided editing, or defect detection, and therefore do not capture this gap in autonomous review. We introduce VisAudit, a benchmark for evaluating visualization diagnosis, repair, and verification. Given a rendered chart and configurable auxiliary evidence, including its source data table, intended text summary, and visualization code, an agent iteratively diagnoses potential defects, modifies and executes visualization code, inspects execution and visual feedback, and determines when no further intervention is needed. VisAudit defines three tracks spanning diagnosed repair, autonomous repair, and open-world verification, and contains 1,900 flawed instances across 21 chart types and 10 flaw categories, together with 300 initially correct charts. We construct the benchmark…

  Validated Data Onboarding for AI Demand Forecasting on U.S. Building Meter Data: Design, Controlled Evaluation, and a Corrected Negative Result

  Yixuan Liang

  Electric utilities and grid operators increasingly rely on machine-learning models to forecast next-day demand, and those models learn from meter data that is routinely defective: readings go missing, sensors freeze, buildings read zero for hours, and units change by a factor of 100. This report presents a data-onboarding pipeline that detects and repairs such defects before a model is trained, using only information available at forecast time, and a controlled experiment that measures whether the pipeline protects a 24-hour-ahead forecast. On hourly electricity data for twelve U.S. buildings from the public Building Data Genome 2 dataset (210,528 rows, 2016-2017), seeded, hash-logged defects touching 0.10% of the training period raised the error of a gradient-boosting forecaster by 86%; after detection and past-only repair the error returned to the clean-data level (mean absolute scaled error 0.760 clean, 1.415 corrupted, 0.729 repaired) while 93% of training targets were retained. At a defect prevalence calibrated to published field studies (1.6% of training rows) the unprotected forecaster's error reached 4.4 times that of a seasonal-naive rule, and the repaired forecaster…

  Inherit-MAS: Test-Time Evolution of Multi-Agent Systems through Workflow and Execution Inheritance

  Songtao Wei, Yi Li, Zhichun Guo, Bingzhe Li

  Multi-agent systems (MAS) built from large language models coordinate specialized agents to tackle complex tasks, but effective workflows are difficult to design in advance. Test-time evolution refines workflows using execution feedback, yet broad revisions can disturb useful components, while re-executing unchanged requests can incur redundant computation. Inspired by the interplay of inheritance and selection in biological evolution, we introduce Inherit-MAS, which makes inheritance explicit at the workflow and execution levels. A meta-model first synthesizes a workflow of worker agents with declared roles, communication inputs, and tool permissions, and a separately prompted judge scores each executed candidate and diagnoses its deficiencies. In ordinary refinement rounds, \emph{workflow inheritance} starts from the latest completed candidate, may discard removable nodes judged unhelpful, and applies a validated edit to address the diagnosed deficiency. When the new candidate executes, \emph{execution inheritance} inherits eligible stored results only if the complete resolved request and execution context match, avoiding redundant model and tool calls. With GPT-4o-mini…

  FlashSinkhorn 2: Block-Sparse Entropic Optimal Transport

  Felix X. -F. Ye, Yu Chin Fabian Lim, Naigang Wang, Davis Wertheimer

  Streaming GPU solvers for entropic optimal transport (EOT), such as FlashSinkhorn, avoid storing the dense kernel but still evaluate all $n\times m$ point pairs in every Sinkhorn iteration. We present \textbf{FlashSinkhorn~2} (FS2), a solver for squared-Euclidean cost on low-dimensional point clouds that solves large discrete EOT problems to a prescribed marginal residual on a single GPU by coupling two stages. A coarse stage solves on cell centroids, lifts the potentials to every point and, when a sampled marginal check rejects the lift, continues on the centroids, replacing most point-level updates. A block-sparse fine stage then removes the centroid error that coarse updates cannot. Its Morton-ordered blocks support screening and fused tensor-core execution, and a threshold set by the block masses bounds each omitted tile's contribution to every row and column. On synthetic benchmarks, FS2 reaches the target residual on all 32 problems and GeomLoss multiscale on 10. On one A100, FS2 solves discrete EOT between two $1.34\times10^8$-particle measures from a cosmological $N$-body simulation, at an entropic blur equal to the mean interparticle distance, to an all-particle marginal…

  Hesitation Has a Geometry: Entropy-Trained Hyperbolic Probes for Sparse Activation Steering

  Zeyong Zhang, Tung Sum Thomas Kwok, Tengfei Ma, Mengjia Xu

  When a large language model solves a mathematical problem, its reasoning is largely hierarchical, and the solution often branches at a few tokens where the next-token entropy is high. Such tree-like structure embeds in hyperbolic space with far lower distortion than in Euclidean space. Activation steering, however, usually edits the hidden states of a pretrained model by adding one fixed Euclidean vector at every token, even though most tokens of a solution are already determined by the context. We propose Hyperbolic Entropy Steering (HEST), which embeds the hidden states in the Poincaré ball with a lightweight probe whose only label is the model's own next-token entropy. Where this entropy exceeds a threshold, HEST moves the embedded state along the geodesic of steepest descent of a readout of the probe and maps the change back to the hidden state. For the Busemann readout of a learned ideal point, we prove that a step of fixed length lowers it by the same amount at every state. On three instruction-tuned models from the Qwen2.5-Math and Llama-3.1 families, HEST with the Busemann readout improves greedy accuracy on MATH-500 and GSM8K in five of six settings, by up to 1.8 points,…

  Octrees as an Explicit 3D Language

  Ran Dan, Si-Tong Wei, Pengfei Xiong, Wei Zhang, Yadong Mu +1

  Existing 3D large language models (LLMs) compromise on two fronts: they compress shapes into latent codebook indices or coordinate text, which removes spatial structure from what the model observes, and they acquire the 3D modality by fine-tuning the backbone, which overwrites its general language ability. We present OctLLM, which addresses both limitations. Geometry enters as an explicit 3D sequence of octree occupancy tokens. However, full octree sequences grow rapidly with depth; OctLLM therefore randomly empties penultimate-level nodes and omits descendants while preserving shape, yielding a shorter coordinate- and depth-anchored Sparse Octree (S-Octree) for position-aware mask-modeling generation and 3D understanding. On the other front, existing methods introduce a new modality with full fine-tuning or LoRA, but full fine-tuning is costly, LoRA limits 3D capacity, and both modify the language pathway. OctLLM instead adds 3D capacity in parameters separate from the pretrained ones: mesh tokens are routed through independent trainable branches in a subset of blocks while text and image tokens retain the frozen vision-language pathway, and the two streams interact through…

  Social bot detection in the age of ChatGPT: Challenges and opportunities

  Emilio Ferrara

  We present a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities in social bot detection in the context of the rise of sophisticated AI-based chatbots. By examining the state of the art in social bot detection techniques and the more salient real-world application to date, we identify gaps and emerging trends in the field, with a focus on addressing the unique challenges posed by AI-generated conversations and behaviors. We suggest potentially promising opportunities and research directions in social bot detection, including (i) the use of generative agents for synthetic data generation, testing and evaluation; (ii) the need for multimodal and cross-platform detection based on network and behavioral signatures of coordination and influence; (iii) the opportunity to extend bot detection to non-English and low-resource language settings; and, (iv) the room for development of collaborative, federated learning detection models that can help facilitate cooperation between different organizations and platforms while preserving user privacy.

  The Surprising Effectiveness of Shared Memory in Looped Transformers

  Giovanni Monea, Keshav Ramji, Yousef El-Kurdi, Luis A. Lastras, Yoav Artzi +2

  Looped Transformers apply the same layers several times per token, adding compute to improve quality without more parameters. Each recursion, however, writes its own key-value cache, so memory still grows with compute. Inference-time techniques can shrink this cache at a cost in quality. We pretrain looped language models to share memory: only the first recursion writes a cache, and later recursions read it while keeping a short window of their own. Surprisingly, we find that sharing memory does not cost quality and instead improves it. At 150M-1B parameters, our Looped Prediction Transformer (LPT) and its hybrid variant set a new quality-memory frontier for looped models: with five recursions, the hybrid lowers validation perplexity on FineWeb-Edu by 1.12-1.82 relative to a same-size standard Transformer while using 76-79% less context memory. Through an extensive analysis, we investigate why memory sharing helps. Shared and local memory develop different representations, and later recursions attend mostly to the shared memory, which also acts as a gradient highway to the first recursion.

  FactorSplat: Appearance-Controllable Gaussian Proxies for Medical Volume Rendering

  Zhongpai Gao, Benjamin Planche, Meng Zheng, Anwesa Choudhuri, Terrence Chen +1

  Transfer functions (TFs) control color and visibility in medical volume rendering, but image-trained Gaussian proxies typically bake one transfer function into their appearance. We present FactorSplat, a per-scene N-dimensional Gaussian splatting (N-DGS) proxy that accepts region-specific intensity-to-RGBA curves at inference. A local lookup applies the authored color and opacity change, while a shared functional encoder and low-rank per-Gaussian factors learn the residual appearance response. Geometry and directional appearance remain shared across presets, with visibility control and TF-aware pruning preserving the ability to hide and reveal structures. On seven CT and MR scans, FactorSplat improves mean PSNR and changed-region error over region-aware VEG across validation, interpolation, unseen composition, and out-of-distribution (OOD) edits. Across these four splits, seven-scan mean PSNR gains over VEG range from 1.10 to 1.52 dB. One checkpoint per scan supports unseen edits without retraining. At $1600^2$, the cached fast renderer averages 524 FPS with 1.17 ms TF switches. Project page: https://gaozhongpai.github.io/FactorSplat/.

  Latent-MOPD: Latent Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation

  Zhengyu Fang, Seoyeon Hong, Jie Yang, Muyang Li, Koyoshi Shindo +2

  On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student on the responses it generates. Existing LLM multi-teacher OPD transfers what specialists predict through their output distributions. We introduce Latent-MOPD, to our knowledge the first representation-level multi-teacher OPD method for LLMs. It integrates existing specialists through both their predictions and the hidden states used to compute them, without additional teacher training. To coordinate representation supervision from multiple specialists, we select late-layer targets according to the teacher-student relationship, bridge unequal hidden widths with a shared projection, and group updates by domain. Each teacher's supervision gradually shifts from hidden states to token predictions, with both channels using the same routed specialist. In our main same-family setting, Latent-MOPD outperforms the token-only, representation-only and uniform-averaging baselines on all nine benchmarks across math, code and logic. With the same parameter count as each teacher, the student also surpasses the per-benchmark best teacher on a majority of these benchmarks. With larger, separately developed cross-family teachers, Latent-MOPD outperforms…

  THPL: A Vision-to-Language Decision Support Framework for Rainbow Trout Feeding Management in RAS

  Meng Liang, Guanbo Feng, Haozhuang Chi, Shilong Zhao, Zhixin Xiong +5

  In Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS), precision feeding is critical for minimizing costs and improving fish welfare. However, existing methods lack cognitive alignment between fish behaviors and management knowledge, impeding translation into executable, interpretable feeding decisions. To address this, we propose THPL, a generative feeding decision framework tailored for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in RAS. First, Fishsort extracts trajectories to establish an Activity Coefficient (AC) quantifying feeding intensity. Second, a Hierarchical Behavior Encoder (HBE) models individual temporal progression and collective dynamics using Temporal and Set Transformers, transforming trajectory tensors into dual-evidence representations of explicit physical and implicit soft tokens. Finally, these tokens are integrated with environmental parameters, metadata, and expert rules to fine-tune an LLM via LoRA, followed by counterfactual multimodal Direct Preference Optimization (mDPO) to reinforce causal reasoning. Results show that AC exhibits a statistically significant monotonic positive correlation with expert-annotated feeding intensity (Spearman $ρ= 0.925$, $p < 0.001$).…

  Flow Matching for Fast Posterior Sampling in Bayesian Inverse Problems

  Jan Blechschmidt, Oliver G. Ernst, Moritz Poguntke, Björn Sprungk

  Sampling from the posterior is the central task of computational Bayesian inverse problems. The standard workhorse in Bayesian inference - Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) - is sequential, yields correlated samples, and must be rerun for each observation. Conditional flow matching offers an amortized alternative: a transport map, trained once on joint samples of parameter and data, that yields independent approximate posterior samples for any observation at negligible online cost, without new likelihood evaluations. We give a careful, MCMC-literate assessment of flow matching for PDE-based inverse problems with function-valued parameters. Exploiting the flow's tractable density, we derive computable accuracy estimates of the underlying approximate posterior in total-variation distance and Kullback-Leibler divergence and, moreover, propose a hybrid sampler that is asymptotically exact by Metropolization. We validate the accuracy estimates and demonstrate the amortization in several numerical examples, including electrical impedance tomography and a likelihood-free Lotka-Volterra model.

  Coco: An Agentic Copilot for the Hardware--Software Co-Design Lifecycle

  Samuel Kushnir, Kavya Sreedhar, Yeshwanth Reddy Pogula, Amir Yazdanbakhsh, Narges Shahidi +6

  Co-designing ML models and the accelerators that run them is an unusual reasoning task: architects must draw confident, high-stakes conclusions about systems that do not yet exist, and the pace of both model evolution and hardware cadence means the analysis burden grows every quarter. The evidence behind each decision--hundreds of gigabytes of fresh simulation sweeps over novel design points--is by construction absent from any LLM's pretraining corpus, and there is no external literature to retrieve; naive "chat-with-your-data" approaches hallucinate exactly where correctness matters most. We present Coco (Copilot for Codesign), an agentic platform deployed with TPU architects that accelerates the co-design lifecycle of setting up experiments, sweeping simulators, and deriving insights. Coco is built as four layers: (i) a datastore that automatically registers every simulation sweep into a normalized relational schema, so agents ground every number in a SQL query rather than scraping heterogeneous files; (ii) a library of tools with typed APIs that agents compose without human orchestration; (iii) agents that encode recurring analysis workflows--most notably iso-execution…

  EviDent-CBCT: Evidence-Bottlenecked Report Generation from Dental CBCT under Non-Exhaustive Report Supervision

  Ruiyang Hao, Zhi Qin Tan, Yulan He, Owen Addison, Yunpeng Li

  Dento-maxillofacial cone-beam CT (CBCT) reports may contain dozens of tooth-specific, anatomical, and spatial findings from a single 3D scan. Learning to generate such reports from limited clinical data is challenging because routine reports may not exhaustively document image findings, and a non-mention may reflect either absence or non-reporting. We present EviDent-CBCT, an evidence-bottlenecked framework designed for this incomplete supervision. An anatomy-aware network maps each CBCT scan to a discrete record of tooth-level, global, and tooth-IAC evidence. A dental-logic consistency projection reconciles incompatible evidence before a deterministic renderer and an image-blind local language model generate the report using only this record. For tooth-level evidence, reliability-aware training uses eligible non-mentions as reduced-weight negatives, while unreported global and tooth-IAC labels remain unknown. A metal-sensitive input channel preserves intensity cues from dental materials. Across three validation runs, EviDent-CBCT achieves $0.666\pm0.006$ merged evidence set-F1 and $0.402\pm0.003$ RadFact-Lite-Dental logical-F1, versus $0.371\pm0.018$ for the strongest controlled…

  Hop-Decayed Influence: New Vulnerabilities of Structural Auxiliary Indexing in GraphRAG Pipelines with LLM

  Jisung Park, John Le, Heath Cooper

  GraphRAG pipelines construct auxiliary structures during offline indexing--semantic summaries, hierarchical edges, and pre-computed scores--that determine how retrieval is prioritised at query time. Prior attacks target only instance-level components (nodes, edges, triples), overlooking these schema-level structures. We formalise Auxiliary Schema-Level Entity as a novel attack surface and propose the 3S Framework (Semantics, Structure, Scoring) for its systematic exploitation. Our Hop-Decayed Influence (HDI) attack identifies high-impact targets through query-aware influence propagation and corrupts their auxiliary structures post-indexing. Across two benchmarks (HotpotQA, 2WikiMultiHopQA) and two architectures (Microsoft GraphRAG, HippoRAG2), HDI achieves 88-94% attack success rate while modifying as few as 0.016% of auxiliary structures. Each modification affects up to 6.00 queries (Schema Leverage Ratio), demonstrating 1:N amplification unavailable to instance-level attacks. Manipulated structures evade perplexity and paraphrase defenses with over 99% evasion rate, as they remain linguistically coherent system-generated artifacts. These results reveal that auxiliary…

  Traversing the Satisfaction-Diversity Frontier in Text-to-Image Diffusion

  Kevin Zhai, Siva Rajesh Kasa, Soumya Roy, Sumit Negi, Mubarak Shah

  Text-to-image generation enables users to explore several images generated from the same prompt. For these generated images to be useful, each one must reflect the user's preferences, measured by a learned reward, and differ visually from the others to maintain diversity. Existing methods are limited: they either address reward and diversity separately or combine them in one aggregate score, enabling high diversity to offset low rewards. In this paper, we address these limitations by formulating generation as satisficing: every image (candidate) must satisfy a reward floor and the batch of images must satisfy a diversity cutoff. The reward floor controls the balance between worst-candidate reward and batch diversity; we show that varying this floor defines a Pareto frontier. To traverse this frontier, we introduce SatisDive, a training-free inference-time method. SatisDive uses a batch-relative reward cutoff to distinguish lower- from higher-reward candidates, emphasizing reward improvement for candidates below the cutoff and diversity among candidates above it. On Pick-a-Pic, at matched DreamSim, SatisDive improves worst-candidate reward over FK steering by up to 0.43 with…

  Network-in-the-Loop at Scale: GPU-Batched 5G Simulation for Massively Parallel Robot Learning

  Zifan Zhang, Mingzhe Han, Kannan Athreya, Yuchen Liu

  Massively parallel GPU simulators train multi-robot policies in thousands of environments, and many fleets use private Fifth-Generation (5G) networks, where each robot's delay depends on its teammates' traffic. Network-in-the-loop training places a simulated 5G network inside this loop. However, GPU robot simulators reduce the network to an independent delay per message, while packet-level simulators run one scenario per CPU process and cannot keep pace with thousands of parallel environments. To bridge this gap, we present Isaac-Net, a GPU-batched 5G New Radio (NR) module that advances the uplink of thousands of environments in lockstep with Isaac Lab physics. Isaac-Net simulates every slot, the 0.5~ms interval in which the base station decides which robots transmit, for all environments at once. Extensive experiments confirm that its NR engine reproduces the median delay of ns-3 5G-LENA across loads, with a median delay 5--10\% low on an unseen carrier and 9\% high at 32 robots per environment in closed loop. The engine also reproduces the Age of Information (AoI), the age of each robot's newest delivered report, while an independent delay per message leaves the AoI tail about…

  Automating the Application of HCI Principles: Skills for On-Demand UI Construction, the Human-AI Space to Think, and the Future of HCI

  Nathan Conklin, Miranda Capra, Chris North

  Human-computer interaction (HCI) is in the middle of a transition: large language models can now generate functional user interfaces (UIs) on demand from natural-language task descriptions. A user explains what they are trying to accomplish, and the system materializes a working interface to support it. This capability already exists in systems such as Claude and ChatGPT and continues to grow in fidelity as the underlying models improve. The next step along this trajectory is to move from interfaces that are merely generated to interfaces that are generated well. We propose a framework in which the dialogue between user and artificial intelligence (AI) becomes a Space to Think: a shared, structured cognitive workspace in which task decomposition produces an on-demand user interface as an extension of the user's thinking rather than as a separate artifact. Within this paradigm, classical HCI design knowledge (Nielsen's heuristics, Norman's affordance prescriptions, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) success criteria, cognitive-load constraints, and mixed-initiative principles) is encoded as skills: machine-readable skill.md files that the generating agent loads at runtime…

  Co-design Gym: A Unified Benchmark for Embodiment-Policy Co-optimization

  Aviraj Newatia, Yordan Tsvetkov, Leonard Pleiss, Andrew Spielberg, Rika Antonova

  Finding an optimal behaviour policy within a given environment is a widely studied problem in domains as diverse as games, robotics, energy infrastructure, communication networks, and multi-agent systems. Numerous benchmarks have been developed to support such research, but the vast majority assume that the agent's embodiment (design) is fixed, focusing instead on policy learning alone. Lifting this assumption gives rise to a broader class of problems in which optimizing embodiment and policy separately is highly suboptimal. An agent's embodiment strongly shapes which control policies can be discovered, while the optimal embodiment is in turn defined by the policies it admits. To help the research community study this class of problems explicitly and systematically, we introduce Co-Design Gym - a suite of benchmark environments for jointly optimizing embodiment and policy. Our environments span domains such as robotic manipulation and locomotion, multi-robot cooperation, deformable and soft dynamics, video games, electricity grids, wireless networks, F1 racing, multi-agent warehouses, and optimal control, offering 20 environment families (domains), with over 85 distinct co-design…
