DKDNet: Dual Knowledge and Data-Driven Network for Cross-Domain Automatic Modulation Classification

The dynamics of communication environments induce significant distribution shifts across domains, challenging the generalization of deep learning-based automatic modulation classification (AMC) models. While existing UDA methods alleviate this problem by aligning source and target features, they give limited consideration to modulation-specific structures that remain informative across domain conditions. In this paper, we consider signal prior knowledge, grounded in communication protocols and physical principles, as a potential way to enhance cross-domain representation learning. Given that different priors may vary in modulation discriminability, domain stability, and complementarity, this paper first analyzes five commonly adopted signal representations that instantiate different signal priors. From them, in-phase/quadrature (IQ), amplitude--phase (AP), and autocorrelation function (ACF) are selected as compact prior-guided inputs. Based on that, a dual knowledge and data-driven network (DKDNet) is proposed for cross-domain AMC. The multi-representation feature encoder (MRFE) and dynamic lightweight fusion unit (DLFU) are designed to achieve unified representation learning and adaptive feature fusion, and the resulting fused features are optimized with modulation classification and adversarial domain alignment objectives. Experiments on both simulated and public datasets validate the rationality of the prior selection and demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.

LLM Agents for Deliberative Collaboration: A Study on Joint Decision Making Under Partial Observability

Deliberation plays a crucial role in collaboration; when humans work together, they naturally engage in communication to align information and reach an agreement. In this paper, we investigate deliberative large language model (LLM) agents under partially observable joint decision-making tasks. We formalize deliberative collaboration as a cooperative joint decision problem with partial and asymmetric observations, and introduce a scalable benchmark that instantiates this problem across multiple task settings and domains in which agents must exchange information through deliberation to reach a joint decision with a shared reward. We then instantiate a reference scaffold and evaluation protocol for deliberative agents and conduct a systematic evaluation of a range of representative LLMs. The results reveal that complex deliberative collaboration tasks continue to challenge state-of-the-art language models. Even with the aid of external mathematical tools, language models may fail in either the deliberation process for aligning information or the complex reasoning process for making the decision. On the other hand, diagnostic analysis reveals that the deliberation process may also provide opportunities for reflection and error correction, sometimes improving performance over centralized baselines. Altogether, our work establishes a foundation for evaluating and improving LLM agents in deliberative collaboration and provides insights into the strengths, limitations, and properties of current LLM-based multi-agent systems.

Exploring and Complementing End Users' Requirements in IoT enabled System

End users create IoT automation rules via trigger action programming, but their expressions are often fragmented, capturing device operations rather than high level intents. This gap leads to missing conditions, logical conflicts, and overlooked safety constraints, risking hazardous behaviors. To address this, we propose an intent driven requirements completion approach that reframes rule completion as a dual process: reconstructing intent from fragmented rules, then regenerating rules from that intent, with safety embedded throughout. We introduce a Bidirectional Requirements Traceability Tree, a three layer model linking rules, intents, and quality concerns, and design a multiagent framework that combines LLM reasoning with structured traceability. This enables completions that are both functionally complete and inherently safe, while remaining traceable and explainable. Evaluation shows our method significantly outperforms the baselines, improving the rule completion rate by 43% and reducing logical conflicts by over 21%. By grounding completion in intent understanding, we shift the paradigm from user to system responsibility, and from functional correctness to holistic trustworthiness.

RoadGIE: Towards A Global-Scale Aerial Benchmark for Generalizable Interactive Road Extraction

Accurate road segmentation from aerial imagery is fundamental to many geospatial applications. However, existing datasets often suffer from limited scene diversity, low semantic granularity, and poor structural continuity, restricting their generalization across environments. To address these challenges, we introduce WorldRoadSeg-360K, the largest and most diverse road segmentation dataset to date, comprising 366,947 high-resolution images collected from 38 countries and 223 cities across various terrains and continents. WorldRoadSeg-360K serves as a comprehensive benchmark and reveals key challenges in handling diverse and structurally complex scenes. Automated approaches often struggle to preserve road connectivity, while current interactive methods lack efficient, topology-sensitive tools for real-world road editing. To this end, we present RoadGIE, establishing a novel interactive paradigm for road extraction in remote sensing. Unlike prior point- or box-based prompting strategies, RoadGIE supports connectivity-aware prompts, including clicks and scribbles, which inherently align with the topology of road networks. To improve structural consistency and mitigate performance degradation during iterative interactions, RoadGIE integrates an expert-guided prompting strategy and adapts the skeleton-based recall loss for interactive scenarios. RoadGIE achieves state-of-the-art performance in both segmentation accuracy and topological consistency on WorldRoadSeg-360K and other benchmarks, while maintaining efficient operation with only 3.7M parameters.

SLIP-RS: Structured-Attribute Language-Image Pre-Training for Remote Sensing Object Detection

Existing language-image pre-training for remote sensing object detection is constrained by Monolithic Label Learning, which relies on exhaustively enumerating open-set categories via black-box data to acquire fine-grained representations, creating a dependency incompatible with the domain's inherent data scarcity. To transcend this bottleneck, we propose SLIP-RS, establishing a Structured-Attribute Decoupling Paradigm that maps the open-ended category space into a finite, physically meaningful attribute space, unlocking fine-grained discriminability via explicit structural logic. This paradigm is realized via two technical pillars: (1) Structured-Attribute Contrastive Learning, which enforces the learning of decoupled intrinsic visual logic via combinatorial attribute augmentation; and (2) Conformal Attribute Reliability Engine, which leverages conformal prediction theory to rigorously distill high-fidelity supervision from noisy sources, yielding RS-Attribute-15M, the largest dataset with over 15 million attribute annotations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SLIP-RS establishes unprecedented performance in fine-grained detection and cross-domain generalization, validating structured attributes as a vital foundation for remote sensing.

Modulation Consistency-based Contrastive Learning for Self-Supervised Automatic Modulation Classification

Deep learning-based AMC methods have achieved remarkable performance, but their practical deployment remains constrained by the high cost of labeled data. Although self-supervised learning (SSL) reduces the reliance on labels, existing SSL-based AMC methods often rely on task-agnostic pretext objectives misaligned with modulation classification, leading to representations entangled with nuisance factors such as symbol, channel, and noise. In this paper, we identify intra-instance modulation consistency as a task-aware structural prior, whereby different temporal segments of the same signal may differ in waveform while preserving the same modulation type, thus providing a principled cue for task-aligned self-supervision. Based on this prior, we propose Mod-CL, a Modulation consistency-based Contrastive Learning framework that constructs positive pairs from different temporal segments of the same signal instance, to encourage the model to learn shared modulation information while suppressing nuisance variations. We further develop a contrastive objective tailored to Mod-CL, which jointly exploits temporal segmentation and data augmentation to pull together views sharing the same modulation semantics while avoiding supervisory conflicts within each signal instance. Extensive experiments on RadioML datasets show that Mod-CL consistently outperforms strong baselines, especially in low-label regimes, achieving substantial improvements in linear probing accuracy.

BadSKP: Backdoor Attacks on Knowledge Graph-Enhanced LLMs with Soft Prompts

Recent knowledge graph (KG)-enhanced large language models (LLMs) move beyond purely textual knowledge augmentation by encoding retrieved subgraphs into continuous soft prompts via graph neural networks, introducing a graph-conditioned channel that operates alongside the standard text interface. However, existing backdoor attacks are largely designed for the textual channel, and their effectiveness against this dual-channel architecture remains unclear. We show that this architecture creates a robustness gap: text-channel backdoor attacks that readily compromise textual KG prompting systems become largely ineffective against soft-prompt-based counterparts. We interpret this gap through semantic anchoring, whereby graph-derived soft prompts bias the generation-driving hidden state toward query-consistent semantics and suppress surface-level malicious instructions. Because this anchoring effect is itself induced by the graph channel, an attacker who manipulates graph-level representations can in turn redirect it toward adversarial semantics. To demonstrate this risk, we propose BadSKP, a backdoor attack that targets the graph-to-prompt interface through a multi-stage optimization strategy: it constructs adversarial target embeddings, optimizes poisoned node embeddings to steer the induced soft prompt, and approximates the optimized representations with fluent adversarial node attributes. Experiments on two soft-prompt KG-enhanced LLMs across four datasets show that BadSKP achieves high attack success under both frozen and trojaned settings, while text-only attacks remain unreliable even under perplexity-based defenses.

Design First, Code Later: Aesthetically Pleasing Template-Free Slides Generation

Producing presentation slides automatically entails coordinating narrative structure with page-level graphic design under strict spatial constraints. For such structured multimodal tasks, a well-organized design process is essential to ensure the final quality of slides. Existing approaches rely on fixed templates or directly emit executable code, thereby both limiting the creative layout-design capabilities of LLMs and bypassing the essential slide-page design step. To address these limitations, this paper (1) proposes a hierarchical slides generation workflow, DeepSlides, that systematically organizes slide design tasks without any predefined template or style, decoupling slide-page design from implementation; (2) introduces SlideDesign, a dataset tailored specifically for slides generation tasks; and (3) presents a multi-agent reinforcement learning training paradigm and trains a couple of models, SlideQwens, for slide design and implementation. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed framework outperforms baseline methods on evaluated metrics and achieves superior performance in human preference evaluations.

FDTD Simulation of O-X Mode Conversion Process in Non-uniform Magnetized Plasma

Electron Bernstein Waves (EBWs) are electrostatic waves than can propagate in overdense plasmas without density cutoff, making them suitable for high density plasma heating. Since EBWs cannot be directly launched from vacuum, mode conversion processes such as O-X-B conversion are required. In this study, the O-X mode conversion process is investigated using the finite difference time-domain (FDTD) method in a magnetized plasma with non-uniform density. In particular, the dependence of mode conversion characteristics on the incident angle of the injected wave is studied. The results show that an optimal incident angle exists at which the wave propagates without significant attenuation and strong electric field enhancement is observed near the upper hybrid resonance (UHR) layer. When the incident angle deviates from this optimal angle, an evanescent region appears, resulting in attenuation of the wave. These results demonstrate that angular optimization is essential for efficient wave propagation toward the UHR region and EBW excitation.

PRBench: End-to-end Paper Reproduction in Physics Research

AI agents powered by large language models exhibit strong reasoning and problem-solving capabilities, enabling them to assist scientific research tasks such as formula derivation and code generation. However, whether these agents can reliably perform end-to-end reproduction from real scientific papers remains an open question. We introduce PRBench, a benchmark of 30 expert-curated tasks spanning 11 subfields of physics. Each task requires an agent to comprehend the methodology of a published paper, implement the corresponding algorithms from scratch, and produce quantitative results matching the original publication. Agents are provided only with the task instruction and paper content, and operate in a sandboxed execution environment. All tasks are contributed by domain experts from over 20 research groups at the School of Physics, Peking University, each grounded in a real published paper and validated through end-to-end reproduction with verified ground-truth results and detailed scoring rubrics. Using an agentified assessment pipeline, we evaluate a set of coding agents on PRBench and analyze their capabilities across key dimensions of scientific reasoning and execution. The best-performing agent, OpenAI Codex powered by GPT-5.3-Codex, achieves a mean overall score of 34%. All agents exhibit a zero end-to-end callback success rate, with particularly poor performance in data accuracy and code correctness. We further identify systematic failure modes, including errors in formula implementation, inability to debug numerical simulations, and fabrication of output data. Overall, PRBench provides a rigorous benchmark for evaluating progress toward autonomous scientific research.

ClawKeeper: Comprehensive Safety Protection for OpenClaw Agents Through Skills, Plugins, and Watchers

OpenClaw has rapidly established itself as a leading open-source autonomous agent runtime, offering powerful capabilities including tool integration, local file access, and shell command execution. However, these broad operational privileges introduce critical security vulnerabilities, transforming model errors into tangible system-level threats such as sensitive data leakage, privilege escalation, and malicious third-party skill execution. Existing security measures for the OpenClaw ecosystem remain highly fragmented, addressing only isolated stages of the agent lifecycle rather than providing holistic protection. To bridge this gap, we present ClawKeeper, a real-time security framework that integrates multi-dimensional protection mechanisms across three complementary architectural layers. (1) \textbf{Skill-based protection} operates at the instruction level, injecting structured security policies directly into the agent context to enforce environment-specific constraints and cross-platform boundaries. (2) \textbf{Plugin-based protection} serves as an internal runtime enforcer, providing configuration hardening, proactive threat detection, and continuous behavioral monitoring throughout the execution pipeline. (3) \textbf{Watcher-based protection} introduces a novel, decoupled system-level security middleware that continuously verifies agent state evolution. It enables real-time execution intervention without coupling to the agent's internal logic, supporting operations such as halting high-risk actions or enforcing human confirmation. We argue that this Watcher paradigm holds strong potential to serve as a foundational building block for securing next-generation autonomous agent systems. Extensive qualitative and quantitative evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of ClawKeeper across diverse threat scenarios. We release our code.

Extracting Training Dialogue Data from Large Language Model based Task Bots

Large Language Models (LLMs) have been widely adopted to enhance Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems (TODS) by modeling complex language patterns and delivering contextually appropriate responses. However, this integration introduces significant privacy risks, as LLMs, functioning as soft knowledge bases that compress extensive training data into rich knowledge representations, can inadvertently memorize training dialogue data containing not only identifiable information such as phone numbers but also entire dialogue-level events like complete travel schedules. Despite the critical nature of this privacy concern, how LLM memorization is inherited in developing task bots remains unexplored. In this work, we address this gap through a systematic quantitative study that involves evaluating existing training data extraction attacks, analyzing key characteristics of task-oriented dialogue modeling that render existing methods ineffective, and proposing novel attack techniques tailored for LLM-based TODS that enhance both response sampling and membership inference. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed data extraction attack. Our method can extract thousands of training labels of dialogue states with best-case precision exceeding 70%. Furthermore, we provide an in-depth analysis of training data memorization in LLM-based TODS by identifying and quantifying key influencing factors and discussing targeted mitigation strategies.

Stress-driven dynamic evolution of core-shell structured cavities with H and He in BCC-Fe under fusion conditions

Understanding the dynamic behavior of microstructures formed under fusion conditions is critical for designing high-performance structural materials for fusion reactors. Under fusion conditions, cavities of core-shell structures are formed due to the interaction between irradiation-induced vacancies and H and He atoms produced via transmutation. In this study, thermodynamic analysis and molecular dynamics simulations are combined to investigate the atomic-scale mechanisms and dynamic response of core-shell cavities formed in BCC-Fe under applied stress/strain fields. The thermodynamic analysis provides both the foundational reference for cavity structures under fusion neutron irradiation and the initial configurations for atomistic simulations. Building on this framework, atomic-scale simulations demonstrate that H and He play a decisive role in the stress-strain response and the evolution of elastic-plastic deformation within the cavities. In core-shell configurations, H atoms serve a function analogous to that in He-filled cavities, synergistically interacting with He to induce cavity deformation under mechanical loading.

Effects of realistic laser intensity and phase distribution on high-charge laser wakefield acceleration

Laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) can produce relativistic electron beams and various secondary particles in centimeter-long plasmas, making it a valuable particle source with important applications in many disciplines. In this work, we examine the effects of non-ideal transverse intensity and phase distribution of laser pulses on LWFA through both experimental measurements and particle-in-cell simulations. The complex transverse profile of the 75 TW laser pulses reduces the self-focused intensity in plasma compared with a transversely Gaussian laser. Furthermore, the sheath structure of the nonlinear plasma wake excited by realistic laser pulses is wider and more complicated than that of a Gaussian laser. These hinder the injection of the plasma electrons. As the laser pulse propagates through the plasma, its intensity profile gradually becomes elliptical and drives a plasma wake with a sharp sheath near the azimuths of the major axis, leading to an injection. When using a realistic laser profile in simulations, both the charge and energy of injected electrons closely match experimental results ($\sim200$ pC of charge and $\sim 200$ MeV peak energy), whereas the Gaussian laser simulations produce much higher charge ($\sim500$ pC). Our findings reveal the difference in injection dynamics between LWFA driven by non-ideal laser pulses and those driven by Gaussian pulses, and are useful for applications of LWFA which demand high-charge electron beams.

Nanometer-scale pre-bunched electron beams generated from all-optical plasma-based acceleration

High-quality and prebunched electron beams can produce coherent x-rays with high intensity and narrow bandwidth, which is essential for modern light sources. An all-optical scheme based on plasma-based acceleration to produce bright electron beams that are pre-bunched on nanometer-scales is proposed. By using a density modulation created by two low intensity counter-propagating lasers, the phase velocity of the plasma wake excited by an intense driver laser in a uniform plasma can be modulated at a frequency twice that of the colliding lasers and thus turn the injection on and off. The injected electrons are micro-bunched at the Doppler shifted wavelength of the modulated wavelength using the corresponding phase velocity of the gradual expansion of the wakefield. It is demonstrated that by controlling the properties of the drive and colliding lasers, that beams with exotic pre-bunched structures can be produced, which may have critical applications in ultrafast high power x-rays. This extremely compact, all-optical scheme to produce ultra-bright pre-bunched electron beams may therefore enable novel applications for ultrafast x-ray users and arouse general interest in various fields.

The Devil Behind Moltbook: Anthropic Safety is Always Vanishing in Self-Evolving AI Societies

The emergence of multi-agent systems built from large language models (LLMs) offers a promising paradigm for scalable collective intelligence and self-evolution. Ideally, such systems would achieve continuous self-improvement in a fully closed loop while maintaining robust safety alignment--a combination we term the self-evolution trilemma. However, we demonstrate both theoretically and empirically that an agent society satisfying continuous self-evolution, complete isolation, and safety invariance is impossible. Drawing on an information-theoretic framework, we formalize safety as the divergence degree from anthropic value distributions. We theoretically demonstrate that isolated self-evolution induces statistical blind spots, leading to the irreversible degradation of the system's safety alignment. Empirical and qualitative results from an open-ended agent community (Moltbook) and two closed self-evolving systems reveal phenomena that align with our theoretical prediction of inevitable safety erosion. We further propose several solution directions to alleviate the identified safety concern. Our work establishes a fundamental limit on the self-evolving AI societies and shifts the discourse from symptom-driven safety patches to a principled understanding of intrinsic dynamical risks, highlighting the need for external oversight or novel safety-preserving mechanisms.

LLMRouterBench: A Massive Benchmark and Unified Framework for LLM Routing

Large language model (LLM) routing assigns each query to the most suitable model from an ensemble. We introduce LLMRouterBench, a large-scale benchmark and unified framework for LLM routing. It comprises over 400K instances from 21 datasets and 33 models. Moreover, it provides comprehensive metrics for both performance-oriented routing and performance-cost trade-off routing, and integrates 10 representative routing baselines. Using LLMRouterBench, we systematically re-evaluate the field. While confirming strong model complementarity-the central premise of LLM routing-we find that many routing methods exhibit similar performance under unified evaluation, and several recent approaches, including commercial routers, fail to reliably outperform a simple baseline. Meanwhile, a substantial gap remains to the Oracle, driven primarily by persistent model-recall failures. We further show that backbone embedding models have limited impact, that larger ensembles exhibit diminishing returns compared to careful model curation, and that the benchmark also enables latency-aware analysis. All code and data are available at https://github.com/ynulihao/LLMRouterBench.
