Decision Readouts for Text-Mediated Video Anomaly Detection: An Exploratory Evaluation of Jev and Qwen

Abstract

How much does the decision readout matter when video-derived textual evidence is held fixed? We evaluate Jev typed decisions and three Qwen readouts on a sparse development sample of 40 videos and 400 target anchors from UCF-Crime and XD-Violence, each presented as a summary and ordered captions. Each dataset contributes 20 source groups and 200 anchors, including only 10 and 37 positives, respectively. The original five-backend pilot requested 4,000 predictions; Jev Choice returned 776 valid responses out of 800 under the study's strict numerical policy, blocking its full-coverage quality comparison. On XD captions, Jev Noul achieved 75.99% average precision versus 48.47% for Qwen generated probability and 57.81% for the stronger local ordinal-likelihood expectation. The latter paired difference was 18.18 percentage points (95% source-group bootstrap interval 5.53-31.50). UCF did not show a corresponding advantage: caption ROC-AUC was 52.26% for Noul and 65.95% for ordinal likelihood. Both probability readouts had higher, hence worse, UCF Brier scores than the evaluation-prevalence reference of 0.0475. We additionally audit historical LAVAD scores at exactly matched anchors and distinguish response structure from numerical consistency. A binary-likelihood control is missing. These exploratory offline results characterize ranking, probability quality and interface failures; they establish neither a causal typed-interface benefit nor general superiority, calibration or end-to-end acceleration.

FlexQuant: Elastic Quantization Framework for Locally Hosted LLM on Edge Devices

Deploying LLMs on edge devices presents serious technical challenges. Memory elasticity is crucial for edge devices with unified memory, where memory is shared and fluctuates dynamically. Existing solutions suffer from either poor transition granularity or high storage costs. We propose FlexQuant, a novel elasticity framework that generates an ensemble of quantized models, providing an elastic hosting solution with 31x more deployment options, 15x granularity improvement, and 10x storage reduction compared to SoTA methods. FlexQuant works with most quantization methods and creates a family of trade-off options under various storage limits through our pruning method. It brings great performance and flexibility to the edge deployment of LLMs.

Rethinking Prospect Theory for LLMs: Revealing the Instability of Decision-Making under Epistemic Uncertainty

Real-world decision-making often involves uncertainty expressed in linguistic rather than numerical terms, and Prospect Theory (PT) provides a classic framework for modeling human behavior under such uncertainty. Although recent studies have developed frameworks to estimate PT parameters for Large Language Models (LLMs), few have examined whether PT itself adequately describes LLM decision-making behavior. To address these gaps, we develop a streamlined workflow grounded in a classic behavioral economics experimental paradigm. First, we estimate PT parameters and evaluate how well the resulting model captures LLM decision-making behavior. We then derive probability mappings for epistemic markers in the same context and inject them into prompts to examine the stability of PT parameters under linguistic uncertainty. Our findings suggest that PT does not consistently provide a reliable account of LLM decision-making across models, and that its application to LLMs is likely sensitive to epistemic uncertainty. The findings caution against the deployment of PT-based frameworks in real-world applications where epistemic ambiguity is prevalent, giving valuable insights in behaviour interpretation and future alignment direction for LLM decision-making.

Enabling Regulatory Multi-Agent Collaboration: Architecture, Challenges, and Solutions

Large language models (LLMs)-empowered autonomous agents are transforming both digital and physical environments by enabling adaptive, multi-agent collaboration. While these agents offer significant opportunities across domains such as finance, healthcare, and smart manufacturing, their unpredictable behaviors and heterogeneous capabilities pose substantial governance and accountability challenges. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-enabled layered architecture for regulatory agent collaboration, comprising an agent layer, an off-chain computation layer, and an on-chain anchoring layer. Within this framework, we design three key modules: (i) an agent behavior tracing and arbitration module for automated accountability, (ii) a dynamic reputation evaluation module for trust assessment in collaborative scenarios, and (iii) a malicious behavior forecasting module for early detection of adversarial activities. Our approach establishes a systematic foundation for trustworthy, resilient, and scalable regulatory mechanisms in large-scale agent ecosystems. Finally, we discuss the future research directions for blockchain-enabled regulatory frameworks in multi-agent systems.
