Fluid-Dynamic Interference Modeling for LEO Mega-Constellations: A Spatiotemporal Kinetic Field Approach

Low Earth orbit (LEO) mega-constellations create a highly non-stationary interference environment that cannot be accurately captured by static stochastic-geometry snapshots. This paper proposes a kinetic interference field framework that models the constellation as a compressible fluid shell evolving under orbital kinematics. By mapping satellite motion into a continuum flux field, we derive a hydrodynamic conservation law for the aggregate interference and obtain a closed-form expression for the time-varying outage probability via moment matching. The analysis reveals that high-latitude ``interference surges'' are a direct consequence of orbital compression and boundary flux, rather than random anomalies. Numerical validation against ephemeris-driven Monte Carlo simulations confirms the accuracy of the framework across time evolution, latitude, and design parameters. Leveraging the closed-form model, we further show that the conventional $90^{\circ}$ polar-orbit design is not universally outage-optimal. Instead, an inclination angle near $79^{\circ}$ at low altitude achieves a favorable trade-off between coverage continuity and geometric interference isolation. The proposed framework provides a tractable analytical tool for interference-aware 6G non-terrestrial network (NTN) design.

Vorticity Dissipation Based Routing: A Fluid-Kinetic Framework for Loop-Free Transport in Ultra-Dense Networks

Discrete routing protocols in ultra-dense wireless networks are constrained by signaling overhead and transient routing loops that degrade radio-resource efficiency. While continuum modeling provides a scalable alternative, existing scalar density approaches lack the vector geometric structure required to characterize these topological anomalies. This paper introduces a fluid-kinetic framework, vorticity dissipation-based routing (VDR), utilizing the Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition. We demonstrate that the macroscopic traffic flux can be orthogonally decoupled into a demand-driven irrotational component and a loop-induced solenoidal component representing routing vorticity. Building on this insight, we define network vorticity as a macroscopic metric to quantify topological inefficiency. Routing optimization is formulated as a gradient flow on an enstrophy functional, yielding a vorticity dissipation equation as the governing dynamic law. Lyapunov stability analysis proves that this mechanism ensures the monotonic decay of global enstrophy toward an asymptotically loop-free equilibrium. Numerical results validate that VDR suppresses realized forwarding loops, reduces end-to-end delay, maintains robust packet delivery, and exhibits near-linear scaling under fixed-area densification while explicitly accounting for the grid-dependent Poisson-solver cost.

BGA: A noise-immune neural distillation framework for malicious signature extraction in high-entropy encrypted flows

To mitigate attention dilution in high-entropy TLS 1.3 flows, we propose BGA, a noise-immune neural distillation framework for encrypted threat intelligence.The methodology first employs Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to decouple high-discriminatory control-plane features - specifically industrial setpoints - from stochastic cryptographic noise. To resolve the extreme class imbalance within a corpus of 86,878 flow records, a Wasserstein GAN with Gradient Penalty (WGAN-GP) module, enforcing the 1-Lipschitz constraint, is integrated to synthesize high-fidelity minority samples, elevating the detection recall of rare Malicious State Command Injections(MSCI) attacks by 43.2%. At its core, the BGA architecture integrates Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) for temporal dependency extraction and an Adaptive Gated Multi-Head Attention mechanism. This gated unit functions as a neural filter to dynamically suppress encryption artifacts while amplifying malicious signatures. Extensive evaluations on CIC-IDS-2018 and Edge-IIoT benchmarks demonstrate a performance ceiling exceeding 95.2% across all key metrics. Furthermore, noise-injection stress tests confirm BGAs superior structural resilience with a 8.57% performance margin over vanilla Transformers, while its ultra-low inference latency of 0.2820 ms (estimated 1.6920 ms via theoretical scaling for ARM) indicates a high potential for real-time feasibility on heterogeneous industrial edge gateways, providing a promising architectural baseline for future hardware implementation.

CoGen3D: An Agentic Human-AI Co-Design Pipeline for 3D Asset Generation for Virtual Reality

Creating 3D assets for virtual reality requires modeling expertise, which restricts the authorship of immersive experiences. Existing generative AI tools rely on unconstrained, command-driven prompting, lacking the conversational scaffolding needed for users to articulate their intent and validate designs prior to rendering. To address this, we introduce CoGen3D, an agentic human-AI co-design pipeline that proactively guides users through conversational intent elicitation, a concept image confirmation, and image-to-3D generation that directly deploys to immersive scenes. We evaluated this system through a user study (N=120) across six affectively diverse immersive scenes, observing 60 Design group participants who co-created 3D assets for the scenes, and 60 Validation group participants who experienced the scenes with generated assets. Our findings show that co-designed assets are associated with higher scene engagement and shifted affective responses, while participants generally preferred concept images over the final 3D assets, with no increased leniency toward degradation in their own creations. Analysis of the human-AI conversations further shows that target environments shape users' conversational patterns. Our results suggest that our staged, intent-based co-design can democratize virtual reality authoring and shift immersive content creation from technical execution toward collaborative spatial design.

Fluid-Spatiotemporal Stochastic Geometry: Information Flow in Non-Stationary Fields

The fundamental limits of information flow in spatial networks are usually characterized under stationary spatial point processes, but this assumption cannot capture non-stationary regimes where the node intensity field evolves continuously in space and time. This paper develops Fluid-Spatiotemporal Stochastic Geometry (F-STSG), treating dynamic network topology as a hydrodynamic limit of the discrete node constellation. We formulate the identification of latent network dynamics as an inverse boundary value problem and, using the minimum kinetic energy principle from optimal transport, establish the existence and uniqueness of a scalar potential field governing the compressive evolution of network load. The resulting field-theoretic formulation couples continuous Lagrangian transport with discrete Eulerian interference geometry. Based on this model, we derive the information flux vector as a sufficient statistic for macroscopic advection and the material derivative as a kinematic predictor of topological divergence. We further characterize non-stationary network limits through energy-density scaling and source-channel interpretation, showing how coordination overhead, topology deformation, and control signaling requirements are linked to the kinematic entropy of the evolving network topology.

Beyond Text Prompts: Precise Concept Erasure through Text-Image Collaboration

Text-to-image generative models have achieved impressive fidelity and diversity, but can inadvertently produce unsafe or undesirable content due to implicit biases embedded in large-scale training datasets. Existing concept erasure methods, whether text-only or image-assisted, face trade-offs: textual approaches often fail to fully suppress concepts, while naive image-guided methods risk over-erasing unrelated content. We propose TICoE, a text-image Collaborative Erasing framework that achieves precise and faithful concept removal through a continuous convex concept manifold and hierarchical visual representation learning. TICoE precisely removes target concepts while preserving unrelated semantic and visual content. To objectively assess the quality of erasure, we further introduce a fidelity-oriented evaluation strategy that measures post-erasure usability. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show that TICoE surpasses prior methods in concept removal precision and content fidelity, enabling safer, more controllable text-to-image generation. Our code is available at https://github.com/OpenAscent-L/TICoE.git

An LLM-Assisted Toolkit for Inspectable Multimodal Emotion Data Annotation

Multimodal Emotion Recognition (MER) increasingly depends on fine grained, evidence grounded annotations, yet inspection and label construction are hard to scale when cues are dynamic and misaligned across modalities. We present an LLM-assisted toolkit that supports multimodal emotion data annotation through an inspectable, event centered workflow. The toolkit preprocesses and aligns heterogeneous recordings, visualizes all modalities on an interactive shared timeline, and renders structured signals as video tracks for cross modal consistency checks. It then detects candidate events and packages synchronized keyframes and time windows as event packets with traceable pointers to the source data. Finally, the toolkit integrates an LLM with modality specific tools and prompt templates to draft structured annotations for analyst verification and editing. We demonstrate the workflow on multimodal VR emotion recordings with representative examples.

Understanding the Effects of Interaction on Emotional Experiences in VR

Virtual reality has been effectively used for eliciting emotions, yet most research focuses on the intensity of affective responses rather than on how interaction influences those experiences. To address this gap, we advance a validated VR emotion-elicitation dataset through two key extensions. First, we add a new high-arousal, high-valence scene and validate its effectiveness in a within-subject study (N=24). Second, we incorporate interactive elements into each scene, creating both interactive and non-interactive versions to examine the impact of interaction on emotional responses. We evaluate interaction through a multimodal approach combining subjective ratings and physiological signals to capture both conscious and unconscious affective responses. Our evaluation study (N=84) shows that interaction not only amplifies emotions but modulates them in context, supporting coping in negative scenes and enhancing enjoyment in positive scenes. These findings highlight the potential of scene-tailored interaction for different applications, where regulating emotions is as important as eliciting them.

From Fixed to Flexible: Shaping AI Personality in Context-Sensitive Interaction

Conversational agents are increasingly expected to adapt across contexts and evolve their personalities through interactions, yet most remain static once configured. We present an exploratory study of how user expectations form and evolve when agent personality is made dynamically adjustable. To investigate this, we designed a prototype conversational interface that enabled users to adjust an agent's personality along eight research-grounded dimensions across three task contexts: informational, emotional, and appraisal. We conducted an online mixed-methods study with 60 participants, employing latent profile analysis to characterize personality classes and trajectory analysis to trace evolving patterns of personality adjustment. These approaches revealed distinct personality profiles at initial and final configuration stages, and adjustment trajectories, shaped by context-sensitivity. Participants also valued the autonomy, perceived the agent as more anthropomorphic, and reported greater trust. Our findings highlight the importance of designing conversational agents that adapt alongside their users, advancing more responsive and human-centred AI.

To overcome the challenges of ultra-low latency, ubiquitous coverage, and soaring data rates, this article presents a combined use of Near Field Communication (NFC) and Reconfigurable Holographic Surfaces (RHS) for Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). A system architecture has been presented, which shows that the integration of RHS with NTN platforms such as satellites, High Altitute Platform Stations (HAPS), and Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV) can achieve precise beamforming and intelligent wavefront control in near-field regions, enhancing Energy Efficiency (EE), spectral utilization, and spatial resolution. Moreover, key applications, challenges, and future directions have been identified to fully adopt this integration. In addition, a use case analysis has been presented to improve the EE of the system in a public safety use case scenario, further strengthening the UAV-RHS fusion.

NS-Net: Decoupling CLIP Semantic Information through NULL-Space for Generalizable AI-Generated Image Detection

The rapid progress of generative models, such as GANs and diffusion models, has facilitated the creation of highly realistic images, raising growing concerns over their misuse in security-sensitive domains. While existing detectors perform well under known generative settings, they often fail to generalize to unknown generative models, especially when semantic content between real and fake images is closely aligned. In this paper, we revisit the use of CLIP features for AI-generated image detection and uncover a critical limitation: the high-level semantic information embedded in CLIP's visual features hinders effective discrimination. To address this, we propose NS-Net, a novel detection framework that leverages NULL-Space projection to decouple semantic information from CLIP's visual features, followed by contrastive learning to capture intrinsic distributional differences between real and generated images. Furthermore, we design a Patch Selection strategy to preserve fine-grained artifacts by mitigating semantic bias caused by global image structures. Extensive experiments on an open-world benchmark comprising images generated by 40 diverse generative models show that NS-Net outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, achieving a 7.4\% improvement in detection accuracy, thereby demonstrating strong generalization across both GAN- and diffusion-based image generation techniques.

Is Artificial Intelligence Generated Image Detection a Solved Problem?

The rapid advancement of generative models, such as GANs and Diffusion models, has enabled the creation of highly realistic synthetic images, raising serious concerns about misinformation, deepfakes, and copyright infringement. Although numerous Artificial Intelligence Generated Image (AIGI) detectors have been proposed, often reporting high accuracy, their effectiveness in real-world scenarios remains questionable. To bridge this gap, we introduce AIGIBench, a comprehensive benchmark designed to rigorously evaluate the robustness and generalization capabilities of state-of-the-art AIGI detectors. AIGIBench simulates real-world challenges through four core tasks: multi-source generalization, robustness to image degradation, sensitivity to data augmentation, and impact of test-time pre-processing. It includes 23 diverse fake image subsets that span both advanced and widely adopted image generation techniques, along with real-world samples collected from social media and AI art platforms. Extensive experiments on 11 advanced detectors demonstrate that, despite their high reported accuracy in controlled settings, these detectors suffer significant performance drops on real-world data, limited benefits from common augmentations, and nuanced effects of pre-processing, highlighting the need for more robust detection strategies. By providing a unified and realistic evaluation framework, AIGIBench offers valuable insights to guide future research toward dependable and generalizable AIGI detection.Data and code are publicly available at: https://github.com/HorizonTEL/AIGIBench.

CalFuse: Multi-Modal Continual Learning via Feature Calibration and Parameter Fusion

With the proliferation of multi-modal data in large-scale visual recognition systems, enabling models to continuously acquire knowledge from evolving data streams while preserving prior information has become increasingly critical. Class-Continual Learning (CCL) addresses this challenge by incrementally incorporating new class knowledge without revisiting historical data, making it essential for real-world big data applications. While traditional CCL methods rely solely on visual features, recent advances in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) such as CLIP demonstrate significant potential for CCL by leveraging pre-trained multi-modal knowledge. However, existing approaches face challenges in mitigating catastrophic forgetting while maintaining the cross-modal generalization capabilities of VLMs. To address these limitations, we propose CalFuse, a framework that synergizes feature Calibration with parameter Fusion to enable effective multi-modal knowledge integration in continual learning scenarios. CalFuse introduces a dynamic feature calibration mechanism that adaptively balances original CLIP visual representations with task-specific features, preserving the model's intrinsic cross-modal generalization while adapting to new classes. Concurrently, a QR decomposition-based parameter fusion strategy progressively integrates newly acquired knowledge with historical task parameters, maintaining equilibrium between learning new class representations and retaining prior knowledge across sequential tasks. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets validate the effectiveness of our approach in large-scale multi-modal continual learning settings, demonstrating superior performance over state-of-the-art methods in both average accuracy and final task retention.

SitPose: Real-Time Detection of Sitting Posture and Sedentary Behavior Using Ensemble Learning With Depth Sensor

Poor sitting posture can lead to various work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). Office employees spend approximately 81.8% of their working time seated, and sedentary behavior can result in chronic diseases such as cervical spondylosis and cardiovascular diseases. To address these health concerns, we present SitPose, a sitting posture and sedentary detection system utilizing the latest Kinect depth camera. The system tracks 3D coordinates of bone joint points in real-time and calculates the angle values of related joints. We established a dataset containing six different sitting postures and one standing posture, totaling 33,409 data points, by recruiting 36 participants. We applied several state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to the dataset and compared their performance in recognizing the sitting poses. Our results show that the ensemble learning model based on the soft voting mechanism achieves the highest F1 score of 98.1%. Finally, we deployed the SitPose system based on this ensemble model to encourage better sitting posture and to reduce sedentary habits.

Real-Time Fall Detection Using Smartphone Accelerometers and WiFi Channel State Information

In recent years, as the population ages, falls have increasingly posed a significant threat to the health of the elderly. We propose a real-time fall detection system that integrates the inertial measurement unit (IMU) of a smartphone with optimized Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI) for secondary validation. Initially, the IMU distinguishes falls from routine daily activities with minimal computational demand. Subsequently, the CSI is employed for further assessment, which includes evaluating the individual's post-fall mobility. This methodology not only achieves high accuracy but also reduces energy consumption in the smartphone platform. An Android application developed specifically for the purpose issues an emergency alert if the user experiences a fall and is unable to move. Experimental results indicate that the CSI model, based on convolutional neural networks (CNN), achieves a detection accuracy of 99%, \revised{surpassing comparable IMU-only models, and demonstrating significant resilience in distinguishing between falls and non-fall activities.

CLEAR: Channel Learning and Enhanced Adaptive Reconstruction for Semantic Communication in Complex Time-Varying Environments

To address the challenges of robust data transmission over complex time-varying channels, this paper introduces channel learning and enhanced adaptive reconstruction (CLEAR) strategy for semantic communications. CLEAR integrates deep joint source-channel coding (DeepJSCC) with an adaptive diffusion denoising model (ADDM) to form a unique framework. It leverages a trainable encoder-decoder architecture to encode data into complex semantic codes, which are then transmitted and reconstructed while minimizing distortion, ensuring high semantic fidelity. By addressing multipath effects, frequency-selective fading, phase noise, and Doppler shifts, CLEAR achieves high semantic fidelity and reliable transmission across diverse signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and channel conditions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CLEAR achieves a 2.3 dB gain on peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) over the existing state-of-the-art method, DeepJSCC-V. Furthermore, the results verify that CLEAR is robust against varying channel conditions, particularly in scenarios characterized by high Doppler shifts and strong phase noise.

FlexScatter: Predictive Scheduling and Adaptive Rateless Coding for Wi-Fi Backscatter Communications in Dynamic Traffic Conditions

The potential of Wi-Fi backscatter communications systems is immense, yet challenges such as signal instability and energy constraints impose performance limits. This paper introduces FlexScatter, a Wi-Fi backscatter system using a designed scheduling strategy based on excitation prediction and rateless coding to enhance system performance. Initially, a Wi-Fi traffic prediction model is constructed by analyzing the variability of the excitation source. Then, an adaptive transmission scheduling algorithm is proposed to address the low energy consumption demands of backscatter tags, adjusting the transmission strategy according to predictive analytics and taming channel conditions. Furthermore, leveraging the benefits of low-density parity-check (LDPC) and fountain codes, a novel coding and decoding algorithm is developed, which is tailored for dynamic channel conditions. Experimental validation shows that FlexScatter reduces bit error rates (BER) by up to 30%, improves energy efficiency by 7%, and increases overall system utility by 11%, compared to conventional methods. FlexScatter's ability to balance energy consumption and communication efficiency makes it a robust solution for future IoT applications that rely on unpredictable Wi-Fi traffic.

Semiparametric Inference for Regression-Discontinuity Designs

Treatment effects in regression discontinuity designs (RDDs) are often estimated using local regression methods. \cite{Hahn:01} demonstrated that the identification of the average treatment effect at the cutoff in RDDs relies on the unconfoundedness assumption and that, without this assumption, only the local average treatment effect at the cutoff can be identified. In this paper, we propose a semiparametric framework tailored for identifying the average treatment effect in RDDs, eliminating the need for the unconfoundedness assumption. Our approach globally conceptualizes the identification as a partially linear modeling problem, with the coefficient of a specified polynomial function of propensity score in the linear component capturing the average treatment effect. This identification result underpins our semiparametric inference for RDDs, employing the $P$-spline method to approximate the nonparametric function and establishing a procedure for conducting inference within this framework. Through theoretical analysis, we demonstrate that our global approach achieves a faster convergence rate compared to the local method. Monte Carlo simulations further confirm that the proposed method consistently outperforms alternatives across various scenarios. Furthermore, applications to real-world datasets illustrate that our global approach can provide more reliable inference for practical problems.
