Mirror: A Multi-Agent System for AI-Assisted Ethics Review

Ethics review is a foundational mechanism of modern research governance, yet contemporary systems face increasing strain as ethical risks arise as structural consequences of large-scale, interdisciplinary scientific practice. The demand for consistent and defensible decisions under heterogeneous risk profiles exposes limitations in institutional review capacity rather than in the legitimacy of ethics oversight. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) offer new opportunities to support ethics review, but their direct application remains limited by insufficient ethical reasoning capability, weak integration with regulatory structures, and strict privacy constraints on authentic review materials. In this work, we introduce Mirror, an agentic framework for AI-assisted ethical review that integrates ethical reasoning, structured rule interpretation, and multi-agent deliberation within a unified architecture. At its core is EthicsLLM, a foundational model fine-tuned on EthicsQA, a specialized dataset of 41K question-chain-of-thought-answer triples distilled from authoritative ethics and regulatory corpora. EthicsLLM provides detailed normative and regulatory understanding, enabling Mirror to operate in two complementary modes. Mirror-ER (expedited Review) automates expedited review through an executable rule base that supports efficient and transparent compliance checks for minimal-risk studies. Mirror-CR (Committee Review) simulates full-board deliberation through coordinated interactions among expert agents, an ethics secretary agent, and a principal investigator agent, producing structured, committee-level assessments across ten ethical dimensions. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that Mirror significantly improves the quality, consistency, and professionalism of ethics assessments compared with strong generalist LLMs.

Breaking the Passive Learning Trap: An Active Perception Strategy for Human Motion Prediction

Forecasting 3D human motion is an important embodiment of fine-grained understanding and cognition of human behavior by artificial agents. Current approaches excessively rely on implicit network modeling of spatiotemporal relationships and motion characteristics, falling into the passive learning trap that results in redundant and monotonous 3D coordinate information acquisition while lacking actively guided explicit learning mechanisms. To overcome these issues, we propose an Active Perceptual Strategy (APS) for human motion prediction, leveraging quotient space representations to explicitly encode motion properties while introducing auxiliary learning objectives to strengthen spatio-temporal modeling. Specifically, we first design a data perception module that projects poses into the quotient space, decoupling motion geometry from coordinate redundancy. By jointly encoding tangent vectors and Grassmann projections, this module simultaneously achieves geometric dimension reduction, semantic decoupling, and dynamic constraint enforcement for effective motion pose characterization. Furthermore, we introduce a network perception module that actively learns spatio-temporal dependencies through restorative learning. This module deliberately masks specific joints or injects noise to construct auxiliary supervision signals. A dedicated auxiliary learning network is designed to actively adapt and learn from perturbed information. Notably, APS is model agnostic and can be integrated with different prediction models to enhance active perceptual. The experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves the new state-of-the-art, outperforming existing methods by large margins: 16.3% on H3.6M, 13.9% on CMU Mocap, and 10.1% on 3DPW.

Delay-Doppler Domain Channel Measurements and Modeling in High-Speed Railways

As next-generation wireless communication systems need to be able to operate in high-frequency bands and high-mobility scenarios, delay-Doppler (DD) domain multicarrier (DDMC) modulation schemes, such as orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS), demonstrate superior reliability over orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Accurate DD domain channel modeling is essential for DDMC system design. However, since traditional channel modeling approaches are mainly confined to time, frequency, and space domains, the principles of DD domain channel modeling remain poorly studied. To address this issue, we propose a systematic DD domain channel measurement and modeling methodology in high-speed railway (HSR) scenarios. First, we design a DD domain channel measurement method based on the long-term evolution for railway (LTE-R) system. Second, for DD domain channel modeling, we investigate quasi-stationary interval, statistical power modeling of multipath components, and particularly, the quasi-invariant intervals of DD domain channel fading coefficients. Third, via LTE-R measurements at 371 km/h, taking the quasi-stationary interval as the decision criterion, we establish DD domain channel models under different channel time-varying conditions in HSR scenarios. Fourth, the accuracy of proposed DD domain channel models is validated via bit error rate comparison of OTFS transmission. In addition, simulation verifies that in HSR scenario, the quasi-invariant interval of DD domain channel fading coefficient is on millisecond (ms) order of magnitude, which is much smaller than the quasi-stationary interval length on 100 ms order of magnitude. This study could provide theoretical guidance for DD domain modeling in high-mobility environments, supporting future DDMC and integrated sensing and communication designs for 6G and beyond.

Boosting File Systems Elegantly: A Transparent NVM Write-ahead Log for Disk File Systems

We propose NVLog, an NVM-based write-ahead log for disk file systems, designed to transparently harness the high performance of NVM within the legacy storage stack. NVLog provides on-demand byte-granularity sync absorption, reserving the fast DRAM path for asynchronous operations, meanwhile occupying NVM space only temporarily. To accomplish this, we designed a highly efficient log structure, developed mechanisms to address heterogeneous crash consistency, optimized for small writes, and implemented robust crash recovery and garbage collection methods. Compared to previous solutions, NVLog is lighter, more stable, and delivers higher performance, all while leveraging the mature kernel software stack and avoiding data migration overhead. Experimental results demonstrate that NVLog can accelerate disk file systems by up to 15.09x and outperform NOVA and SPFS in various scenarios by up to 3.72x and 324.11x, respectively.

Crash Consistency in DRAM-NVM-Disk Hybrid Storage System

NVM is used as a new hierarchy in the storage system, due to its intermediate speed and capacity between DRAM, and its byte granularity. However, consistency problems emerge when we attempt to put DRAM, NVM, and disk together as an efficient whole. In this paper, we discuss the challenging consistency problems faced by heterogeneous storage systems, and propose our solution to the problems. The discussion is based on NVPC as a case study, but can be inspiring and adaptive to all similar heterogeneous storage systems.

Multi-scale Residual Transformer for VLF Lightning Transients Classification

The utilization of Very Low Frequency (VLF) electromagnetic signals in navigation systems is widespread. However, the non-stationary behavior of lightning signals can affect VLF electromagnetic signal transmission. Accurately classifying lightning signals is important for reducing interference and noise in VLF, thereby improving the reliability and overall performance of navigation systems. In recent years, the evolution of deep learning, specifically Convolutional Neural Network (CNNs), has sparked a transformation in lightning classification, surpassing traditional statistical methodologies. Existing CNN models have limitations as they overlook the diverse attributes of lightning signals across different scales and neglect the significance of temporal sequencing in sequential signals. This study introduces an innovative multi-scale residual transform (MRTransformer) that not only has the ability to discern intricate fine-grained patterns while also weighing the significance of different aspects within the input lightning signal sequence. This model performs the attributes of the lightning signal across different scales and the level of accuracy reached 90% in the classification. In future work, this model has the potential applied to a comprehensive understanding of the localization and waveform characteristics of lightning signals.

Anomalous Nernst effect in a ferrimagnetic nodal-line semiconductor Mn$_3$Si$_2$Te$_6$

In the ferrimagnetic nodal-line semiconductor Mn$_3$Si$_2$Te$_6$, colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) arises below $T_\mathrm{c}=78$ K due to the interplay of magnetism and topological nodal-line fermiology. The Berry curvature associated with the topological nodal-line is expected to produce an anomalous Nernst effect. Here, we present sizable anomalous Nernst signal in Mn$_3$Si$_2$Te$_6$ below $T_\mathrm{c}$. In the low-magnetic-field region where CMR is most apparent, the scaling ratio between the Nernst signal and magnetization is significantly enhanced compared to that in conventional magnetic materials. The enhanced Nernst effect and CMR likely share the same mechanisms, which are closely linked to the nodal-line topology.

Thermoelectric enhancement in PbTe with K, Na co-doping from tuning the interaction of the light and heavy hole valence bands

The effect of K and K-Na substitution for Pb atoms in the rock salt lattice of PbTe was investigated to test a hypothesis for development of resonant states in the valence band that may enhance the thermoelectric power. We combined high temperature Hall-effect, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity measurements to show that K-Na co-doping do not form resonance states but2 can control the energy difference of the maxima of the two primary valence sub-bands in PbTe. This leads to an enhanced interband interaction with rising temperature and a significant rise in the thermoelectric figure of merit of p-type PbTe. The experimental data can be explained by a combination of a single and two-band model for the valence band of PbTe depending on hole density that varies in the range of 1-15 x 10^19 cm^-3.
