QFCQT: A Chaotically Gated Quantformer Framework for Volatile Time-Series Forecasting

Forecasting non-stationary time series remains difficult due to long-range dependencies, local volatility bursts, structural shifts, and nonlinear oscillatory behaviors. Although Transformer-based forecasters are effective for modeling long-term temporal dependencies, their feed-forward blocks typically rely on smooth static activations that are insufficiently sensitive to abrupt regime changes. Motivated by quantitative Transformer designs and oscillator-based nonlinear activations, we propose QFCQT, short for Quantum-Fractal-inspired Chaotically Gated Quantformer, for robust forecasting under complex volatile dynamics. Here, "quantum-fractal-inspired" denotes a computational analogy based on soft oscillator superposition and multi-scale nonlinear responses, rather than a formal quantum-mechanical or fractal-theoretic derivation. QFCQT consists of three main components: (1) a Quantformer-style numerical encoder that directly processes multivariate inputs via linear embedding; (2) a learnable Lee-oscillator activation module that maps scalar pre-activations to dynamic oscillatory responses and summarizes them through Max-over-Time pooling; and (3) a smooth-chaotic gated fusion mechanism that adaptively balances conventional smooth activations and chaos-sensitive responses. Furthermore, instead of using a single fixed oscillator, QFCQT employs a soft superposition of eight parameterized Lee oscillator families to adaptively capture different nonlinear response patterns across regimes. Experiments on ETTh1, ETTh2, and A-share Stock Index benchmarks show that QFCQT consistently outperforms strong baselines, including Informer, LogTrans, LSTMa, HAT, and COTN.

FragBench: Cross-Session Attacks Hidden in Benign-Looking Fragments

An attacker can split a malicious goal into sub-prompts that each look benign on their own and only become harmful in combination. Existing LLM safety benchmarks evaluate prompts one at a time, or across turns of a single chat, and so do not look for a malicious signal spread across separate sessions with no shared context. We build FragBench, a benchmark drawn from 24 real-world cyber-incident campaigns, which keeps the full attack trail: the multi-fragment kill chain, the per-fragment safety-judge verdicts, sandboxed execution traces, and a matched set of benign cover sessions. FragBench splits this trail into two paired tasks: an adversarial rewriter that hardens fragments against a single-turn safety judge (FragBench Attack), and a graph-based user-level detector trained on the resulting interactions (FragBench Defense). The single-turn judge is near chance on the released corpus by construction, but four GNN variants and three classical-ML baselines all recover the cross-session feature, reaching aggregate event-level F1 = 0.88-0.96. Defending against fragmented LLM misuse therefore requires modeling the cross-session interaction graph, rather than isolated prompts. Our generator, rewriter, sandbox harness, and detector are released at https://github.com/LidaSafety/fragbench.

FCOC: A Fractal-Chaotic Co-driven Framework for Financial Volatility Forecasting

This paper introduces the Fractal-Chaotic Oscillation Co-driven (FCOC) framework, a novel paradigm for financial volatility forecasting that systematically resolves the dual challenges of feature fidelity and model responsiveness. FCOC synergizes two core innovations: our novel Fractal Feature Corrector (FFC), engineered to extract high-fidelity fractal signals, and a bio-inspired Chaotic Oscillation Component (COC) that replaces static activations with a dynamic processing system. Empirically validated on the S\&P 500 and DJI, the FCOC framework demonstrates profound and generalizable impact. The framework fundamentally transforms the performance of previously underperforming architectures, such as the Transformer, while achieving substantial improvements in key risk-sensitive metrics for state-of-the-art models like Mamba. These results establish a powerful co-driven approach, where models are guided by superior theoretical features and powered by dynamic internal processors, setting a new benchmark for risk-aware forecasting.

COTN: A Chaotic Oscillatory Transformer Network for Complex Volatile Systems under Extreme Conditions

Accurate prediction of financial and electricity markets, especially under extreme conditions, remains a significant challenge due to their intrinsic nonlinearity, rapid fluctuations, and chaotic patterns. To address these limitations, we propose the Chaotic Oscillatory Transformer Network (COTN). COTN innovatively combines a Transformer architecture with a novel Lee Oscillator activation function, processed through Max-over-Time pooling and a lambda-gating mechanism. This design is specifically tailored to effectively capture chaotic dynamics and improve responsiveness during periods of heightened volatility, where conventional activation functions (e.g., ReLU, GELU) tend to saturate. Furthermore, COTN incorporates an Autoencoder Self-Regressive (ASR) module to detect and isolate abnormal market patterns, such as sudden price spikes or crashes, thereby preventing corruption of the core prediction process and enhancing robustness. Extensive experiments across electricity spot markets and financial markets demonstrate the practical applicability and resilience of COTN. Our approach outperforms state-of-the-art deep learning models like Informer by up to 17% and traditional statistical methods like GARCH by as much as 40%. These results underscore COTN's effectiveness in navigating real-world market uncertainty and complexity, offering a powerful tool for forecasting highly volatile systems under duress.

Beyond Regularity: Modeling Chaotic Mobility Patterns for Next Location Prediction

Next location prediction is a key task in human mobility analysis, crucial for applications like smart city resource allocation and personalized navigation services. However, existing methods face two significant challenges: first, they fail to address the dynamic imbalance between periodic and chaotic mobile patterns, leading to inadequate adaptation over sparse trajectories; second, they underutilize contextual cues, such as temporal regularities in arrival times, which persist even in chaotic patterns and offer stronger predictability than spatial forecasts due to reduced search spaces. To tackle these challenges, we propose \textbf{\method}, a \underline{\textbf{C}}h\underline{\textbf{A}}otic \underline{\textbf{N}}eural \underline{\textbf{O}}scillator n\underline{\textbf{E}}twork for next location prediction, which introduces a biologically inspired Chaotic Neural Oscillatory Attention mechanism to inject adaptive variability into traditional attention, enabling balanced representation of evolving mobility behaviors, and employs a Tri-Pair Interaction Encoder along with a Cross Context Attentive Decoder to fuse multimodal ``who-when-where'' contexts in a joint framework for enhanced prediction performance. Extensive experiments on two real-world datasets demonstrate that CANOE consistently and significantly outperforms a sizeable collection of state-of-the-art baselines, yielding 3.17\%-13.11\% improvement over the best-performing baselines across different cases. In particular, CANOE can make robust predictions over mobility trajectories of different mobility chaotic levels. A series of ablation studies also supports our key design choices.

Co-Learning: Code Learning for Multi-Agent Reinforcement Collaborative Framework with Conversational Natural Language Interfaces

Online question-and-answer (Q\&A) systems based on the Large Language Model (LLM) have progressively diverged from recreational to professional use. This paper proposed a Multi-Agent framework with environmentally reinforcement learning (E-RL) for code correction called Code Learning (Co-Learning) community, assisting beginners to correct code errors independently. It evaluates the performance of multiple LLMs from an original dataset with 702 error codes, uses it as a reward or punishment criterion for E-RL; Analyzes input error codes by the current agent; selects the appropriate LLM-based agent to achieve optimal error correction accuracy and reduce correction time. Experiment results showed that 3\% improvement in Precision score and 15\% improvement in time cost as compared with no E-RL method respectively.

Two-tone Doppler cooling of radial two-dimensional crystals in a radiofrequency ion trap

We study the Doppler-cooling of radial two-dimensional (2D) Coulomb crystals of trapped barium ions in a radiofrequency trap. Ions in radial 2D crystals experience micromotion of an amplitude that increases linearly with the distance from the trap center, leading to a position-dependent frequency modulation of laser light in each ion's rest frame. We use two tones of Doppler-cooling laser light separated by approximately 100~MHz to efficiently cool distinct regions in the crystals with differing amplitudes of micromotion. This technique allows us to trap and cool more than 50 ions populating 4 shells in a radial two-dimensional crystal, where with a single tone of Doppler cooling light we are limited to 30 ions in 3 shells. We also individually characterize the micromotion of all ions within the crystals, and use this information to locate the center of the trap and to determine the Matthieu parameters $q_{x}$ and $q_{y}$.

The design and implementation of Language Learning Chatbot with XAI using Ontology and Transfer Learning

In this paper, we proposed a transfer learning-based English language learning chatbot, whose output generated by GPT-2 can be explained by corresponding ontology graph rooted by fine-tuning dataset. We design three levels for systematically English learning, including phonetics level for speech recognition and pronunciation correction, semantic level for specific domain conversation, and the simulation of free-style conversation in English - the highest level of language chatbot communication as free-style conversation agent. For academic contribution, we implement the ontology graph to explain the performance of free-style conversation, following the concept of XAI (Explainable Artificial Intelligence) to visualize the connections of neural network in bionics, and explain the output sentence from language model. From implementation perspective, our Language Learning agent integrated the mini-program in WeChat as front-end, and fine-tuned GPT-2 model of transfer learning as back-end to interpret the responses by ontology graph.
