WiMoT: Replay-Free Continual Wi-Fi Sensing via Moment Transport

Abstract

Continual Wi-Fi sensing must balance plasticity, learning new rooms or users, against stability, keeping earlier ones, yet nodes often cannot retain channel state information (CSI) for privacy and storage reasons. We propose WiMoT (Wi-Fi Moment Transport), which stores the per-class feature mean and covariance of every earlier domain instead of samples. When the representation changes, stored statistics become stale. WiMoT restricts the change to an affine map on a frozen feature basis and applies the same map to the statistics, so they stay valid without old samples. Supervised contrastive learning learns the new domain, a closed-form loss on the stored statistics keeps earlier classes separable, and a Gaussian discriminant classifier, refitted from the transported statistics with equal weight per domain, predicts without domain identity. On 3DO, WiMANS, and Widar3.0, WiMoT's average final accuracies are 94.02%, 89.61%, and 95.16% with at most 0.58 percentage points (pp) of forgetting. On 3DO and Widar3.0, it also has the highest balance of new- and earlier-domain accuracy and is 3.77 and 13.11 pp ahead of the strongest of 21 baselines, which uses replay, staying ahead across domain orders and label budgets. On WiMANS, it matches the strongest replay baseline in accuracy (+0.41 pp) while reducing forgetting from 2.78 to 0.00 pp, and has the highest six-order average accuracy. Because full covariances dominate the memory, storing them as rank-32 factors shrinks the moment memory to 6.4%, losing at most 0.49 pp of accuracy, within edge-node storage budgets.

MEDMKG: Benchmarking Medical Knowledge Exploitation with Multimodal Knowledge Graph

Medical deep learning models depend heavily on domain-specific knowledge to perform well on knowledge-intensive clinical tasks. Prior work has primarily leveraged unimodal knowledge graphs, such as the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS), to enhance model performance. However, integrating multimodal medical knowledge graphs remains largely underexplored, mainly due to the lack of resources linking imaging data with clinical concepts. To address this gap, we propose MEDMKG, a Medical Multimodal Knowledge Graph that unifies visual and textual medical information through a multi-stage construction pipeline. MEDMKG fuses the rich multimodal data from MIMIC-CXR with the structured clinical knowledge from UMLS, utilizing both rule-based tools and large language models for accurate concept extraction and relationship modeling. To ensure graph quality and compactness, we introduce Neighbor-aware Filtering (NaF), a novel filtering algorithm tailored for multimodal knowledge graphs. We evaluate MEDMKG across three tasks under two experimental settings, benchmarking twenty-four baseline methods and four state-of-the-art vision-language backbones on six datasets. Results show that MEDMKG not only improves performance in downstream medical tasks but also offers a strong foundation for developing adaptive and robust strategies for multimodal knowledge integration in medical artificial intelligence.

Working with AI: Measuring the Applicability of Generative AI to Occupations

With generative AI emerging as a general-purpose technology, understanding its economic effects is among society's most pressing questions. Earlier work on AI impact largely relied on predictions of AI capabilities or focused narrowly on individual firms. Drawing instead on real-world AI usage, we analyze a dataset of 200k anonymized conversations with Microsoft Bing Copilot to measure AI applicability to occupations. We use an LLM-based pipeline to classify the O*NET work activities assisted or performed by AI in each conversation. We find that the most common and successful AI-assisted work activities involve information work--the creation, processing, and communication of information. At the occupation level, we find widespread AI applicability cutting across sectors, as most occupations have information work components. Our methodology also allows us to predict which occupations are more likely to delegate tasks to AI and which are more likely to use AI to assist existing workflows. Finally, we see an increase in occupation-level AI applicability over our 9-month data period, driven primarily by people using AI for more varied tasks. AI applicability scores and component usage and success metrics are available at https://github.com/microsoft/working-with-ai.

Testing Transformer Learnability on the Arithmetic Sequence of Rooted Trees

We study whether a transformer network can learn the deterministic sequence of trees generated by the iterated prime factorization of the natural numbers. Each integer is mapped into a rooted planar tree and the resulting sequence $\mathbb{N}\mathscr{T}$ defines an arithmetic text with measurable statistical structure. A transformer network (the GPT-2 architecture) is trained from scratch on the first $10^{11}$ elements and evaluated on next-token prediction and masked-token prediction tasks, with a Hidden Markov Model as baseline and a scaling analysis over context window, dataset size, vocabulary size and model size. The model reaches a word accuracy of about $0.4$, well above the baseline, and its performance remains stable on test blocks located at $10^{13}$-$10^{15}$, far beyond the training interval. Moreover, the likelihood assigned by the trained model separates the arithmetic text from two controls: synthetic token sequences that preserve the marginal token frequencies but not their order, with a separation that widens with the context, and sequences containing more than three consecutive square-free integers, a configuration that arithmetic forbids. These results indicate that the transformer captures regularities of the arithmetic text that go beyond its frequency profile.
