Preference Estimation via Opponent Modeling in Multi-Agent Negotiation

Automated negotiation in complex, multi-party and multi-issue settings critically depends on accurate opponent modeling. However, conventional numerical-only approaches fail to capture the qualitative information embedded in natural language interactions, resulting in unstable and incomplete preference estimation. Although Large Language Models (LLMs) enable rich semantic understanding of utterances, it remains challenging to quantitatively incorporate such information into a consistent opponent modeling. To tackle this issue, we propose a novel preference estimation method integrating natural language information into a structured Bayesian opponent modeling framework. Our approach leverages LLMs to extract qualitative cues from utterances and converts them into probabilistic formats for dynamic belief tracking. Experimental results on a multi-party benchmark demonstrate that our framework improves the full agreement rate and preference estimation accuracy by integrating probabilistic reasoning with natural language understanding.

Dynamic Link and Flow Prediction in Bank Transfer Networks

The prediction of both the existence and weight of network links at future time points is essential as complex networks evolve over time. Traditional methods, such as vector autoregression and factor models, have been applied to small, dense networks, but become computationally impractical for large-scale, sparse, and complex networks. Some machine learning models address dynamic link prediction, but few address the simultaneous prediction of both link presence and weight. Therefore, we introduce a novel model that dynamically predicts link presence and weight by dividing the task into two sub-tasks: predicting remittance ratios and forecasting the total remittance volume. We use a self-attention mechanism that combines temporal-topological neighborhood features to predict remittance ratios and use a separate model to forecast the total remittance volume. We achieve the final prediction by multiplying the outputs of these models. We validated our approach using two real-world datasets: a cryptocurrency network and bank transfer network.

Mechanism of intermetallic charge transfer and bond disproportionation in BiNiO$_3$ and PbNiO$_3$ revealed by hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy

Perovskites with Bi or Pb on the A-site host a number of interesting and yet to be understood phenomena such as negative thermal expansion in BiNiO$_3$. We employ hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy of Ni 2$p$ core-level as well as valence band to probe the electronic structure of BiNiO$_3$ and PbNiO$_3$. The experimental results supported by theoretical calculations using dynamical mean-field theory reveal essentially identical electronic structure of the Ni-O subsystem typical of Ni$^{2+}$ charge-transfer insulators. The two materials are distinguished by filling of the Bi(Pb)-O antibonding states in the vicinity of the Fermi level, which is responsible for the Bi disproportionation in BiNiO$_3$ at ambient pressure and absence of similar behavior in PbNiO$_3$. The present experiments provide evidence for this conclusion by revealing the presence/absence of Bi/Pb $6s$ states at the top of the valence band in the two materials.

Duality for p-adic étale Tate Twists with modulus

In this paper, we define p-adic étale Tate twists for a modulus pair (X,D), where X is a regular semi-stable family and D is an effective Cartier divisor on X which is flat over a base scheme. The main result of this paper is an arithmetic duality of p-adic étale Tate twists for proper modulus pairs (X,D), which holds as a pro-system with respect to the multiplicities of the irreducible components of D.
