Masking Intent, Sustaining Equilibrium: Risk-Aware Potential-Game-Based Service Provision in Dynamic Mobile Crowdsensing

Mobile crowdsensing (MCS) is evolving from basic data collection to dynamic service provisioning, where platforms must maintain task completion, budget feasibility, and sensing quality under uncertain worker availability. Beyond raw-data and location privacy, workers' long-term intent traces, such as task-selection tendencies and participation histories, can be exploited by an honest-but-curious platform to infer private preferences from one or multiple allocation snapshots. Worker dropouts and execution uncertainty further destabilize sensing coverage, while frequent global re-optimization increases interaction overhead and observable exposure. To address these issues, we propose \textit{iParts}, an intent-preserving and risk-aware two-stage service provisioning framework for dynamic MCS. In the offline stage, workers report perturbed intent vectors through personalized local differential privacy with memoized permanent randomized response, suppressing frequency-based intent inference while retaining decision utility. The platform then builds a redundancy-aware quality model and performs risk-aware pre-planning under budget, quality-risk, and intent-mismatch constraints. This offline problem is formulated as an exact potential game with expected social welfare as the potential function, guaranteeing constrained equilibrium existence and finite-step convergence under feasible improvement dynamics. In the online stage, quality deficits are repaired through bounded-round temporary recruitment from idle or standby workers, enabling feasibility-preserving adjustment with limited exposure. Experiments show that iParts improves welfare and task completion while reducing redundancy and communication overhead against representative benchmarks.

LGFNet: Local-Global Fusion Network with Fidelity Gap Delta Learning for Multi-Source Aerodynamics

The precise fusion of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) data, wind tunnel tests data, and flight tests data in aerodynamic area is essential for obtaining comprehensive knowledge of both localized flow structures and global aerodynamic trends across the entire flight envelope. However, existing methodologies often struggle to balance high-resolution local fidelity with wide-range global dependency, leading to either a loss of sharp discontinuities or an inability to capture long-range topological correlations. We propose Local-Global Fusion Network (LGFNet) for multi-scale feature decomposition to extract this dual-natured aerodynamic knowledge. To this end, LGFNet combines a spatial perception layer that integrates a sliding window mechanism with a relational reasoning layer based on self-attention, simultaneously reinforcing the continuity of fine-grained local features (e.g., shock waves) and capturing long-range flow information. Furthermore, the fidelity gap delta learning (FGDL) strategy is proposed to treat CFD data as a "low-frequency carrier" to explicitly approximate nonlinear discrepancies. This approach prevents unphysical smoothing while inheriting the foundational physical trends from the simulation baseline. Experiments demonstrate that LGFNet achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in both accuracy and uncertainty reduction across diverse aerodynamic scenarios.

Geodesic Gradient Descent: A Generic and Learning-rate-free Optimizer on Objective Function-induced Manifolds

Euclidean gradient descent algorithms barely capture the geometry of objective function-induced hypersurfaces and risk driving update trajectories off the hypersurfaces. Riemannian gradient descent algorithms address these issues but fail to represent complex hypersurfaces via a single classic manifold. We propose geodesic gradient descent (GGD), a generic and learning-rate-free Riemannian gradient descent algorithm. At each iteration, GGD uses an n-dimensional sphere to approximate a local neighborhood on the objective function-induced hypersurface, adapting to arbitrarily complex geometries. A tangent vector derived from the Euclidean gradient is projected onto the sphere to form a geodesic, ensuring the update trajectory stays on the hypersurface. Parameter updates are performed using the endpoint of the geodesic. The maximum step size of the gradient in GGD is equal to a quarter of the arc length on the n-dimensional sphere, thus eliminating the need for a learning rate. Experimental results show that compared with the classic Adam algorithm, GGD achieves test MSE reductions ranging from 35.79% to 48.76% for fully connected networks on the Burgers' dataset, and cross-entropy loss reductions ranging from 3.14% to 11.59% for convolutional neural networks on the MNIST dataset.

Credible Plan-Driven RAG Method for Multi-Hop Question Answering

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has demonstrated strong performance in single-hop question answering (QA) by integrating external knowledge into large language models (LLMs). However, its effectiveness remains limited in multi-hop QA, which demands both stable reasoning and factual consistency. Existing approaches often provide partial solutions, addressing either reasoning trajectory stability or factual verification, but rarely achieving both simultaneously. To bridge this gap, we propose PAR-RAG, a three-stage Plan-then-Act-and-Review framework inspired by the PDCA cycle. PAR-RAG incorporates semantic complexity as a unifying principle through three key components: (i) complexity-aware exemplar selection guides plan generation by aligning decomposition granularity with question difficulty, thereby stabilizing reasoning trajectories; (ii) execution follows a structured retrieve-then-read process; and (iii) dual verification identifies and corrects intermediate errors while dynamically adjusting verification strength based on question complexity: emphasizing accuracy for simple queries and multi-evidence consistency for complex ones. This cognitively inspired framework integrates theoretical grounding with practical robustness. Experiments across diverse benchmarks demonstrate that PAR-RAG consistently outperforms competitive baselines, while ablation studies confirm the complementary roles of complexity-aware planning and dual verification. Collectively, these results establish PAR-RAG as a robust and generalizable framework for reliable multi-hop reasoning.

HiMem: Hierarchical Long-Term Memory for LLM Long-Horizon Agents

Although long-term memory systems have made substantial progress in recent years, they still exhibit clear limitations in adaptability, scalability, and self-evolution under continuous interaction settings. Inspired by cognitive theories, we propose HiMem, a hierarchical long-term memory framework for long-horizon dialogues, designed to support memory construction, retrieval, and dynamic updating during sustained interactions. HiMem constructs cognitively consistent Episode Memory via a Topic-Aware Event--Surprise Dual-Channel Segmentation strategy, and builds Note Memory that captures stable knowledge through a multi-stage information extraction pipeline. These two memory types are semantically linked to form a hierarchical structure that bridges concrete interaction events and abstract knowledge, enabling efficient retrieval without sacrificing information fidelity. HiMem supports both hybrid and best-effort retrieval strategies to balance accuracy and efficiency, and incorporates conflict-aware Memory Reconsolidation to revise and supplement stored knowledge based on retrieval feedback. This design enables continual memory self-evolution over long-term use. Experimental results on long-horizon dialogue benchmarks demonstrate that HiMem consistently outperforms representative baselines in accuracy, consistency, and long-term reasoning, while maintaining favorable efficiency. Overall, HiMem provides a principled and scalable design paradigm for building adaptive and self-evolving LLM-based conversational agents. The code is available at https://github.com/jojopdq/HiMem.

IIKL: Isometric Immersion Kernel Learning with Riemannian Manifold for Geometric Preservation

Geometric representation learning in preserving the intrinsic geometric and topological properties for discrete non-Euclidean data is crucial in scientific applications. Previous research generally mapped non-Euclidean discrete data into Euclidean space during representation learning, which may lead to the loss of some critical geometric information. In this paper, we propose a novel Isometric Immersion Kernel Learning (IIKL) method to build Riemannian manifold and isometrically induce Riemannian metric from discrete non-Euclidean data. We prove that Isometric immersion is equivalent to the kernel function in the tangent bundle on the manifold, which explicitly guarantees the invariance of the inner product between vectors in the arbitrary tangent space throughout the learning process, thus maintaining the geometric structure of the original data. Moreover, a novel parameterized learning model based on IIKL is introduced, and an alternating training method for this model is derived using Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE), ensuring efficient convergence. Experimental results proved that using the learned Riemannian manifold and its metric, our model preserved the intrinsic geometric representation of data in both 3D and high-dimensional datasets successfully, and significantly improved the accuracy of downstream tasks, such as data reconstruction and classification. It is showed that our method could reduce the inner product invariant loss by more than 90% compared to state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods, also achieved an average 40% improvement in downstream reconstruction accuracy and a 90% reduction in error for geometric metrics involving isometric and conformal.

Disentangling Granularity: An Implicit Inductive Bias in Factorized VAEs

Despite the success in learning semantically meaningful, unsupervised disentangled representations, variational autoencoders (VAEs) and their variants face a fundamental theoretical challenge: substantial evidence indicates that unsupervised disentanglement is unattainable without implicit inductive bias, yet such bias remains elusive. In this work, we focus on exploring the implicit inductive bias that drive disentanglement in VAEs with factorization priors. By analyzing the total correlation in \b{eta}-TCVAE, we uncover a crucial implicit inductive bias called disentangling granularity, which leads to the discovery of an interesting "V"-shaped optimal Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO) trajectory within the parameter space. This finding is validated through over 100K experiments using factorized VAEs and our newly proposed model, \b{eta}-STCVAE. Notably, experimental results reveal that conventional factorized VAEs, constrained by fixed disentangling granularity, inherently tend to disentangle low-complexity feature. Whereas, appropriately tuning disentangling granularity, as enabled by \b{eta}-STCVAE, broadens the range of disentangled representations, allowing for the disentanglement of high-complexity features. Our findings unveil that disentangling granularity as an implicit inductive bias in factorized VAEs influence both disentanglement performance and the inference of the ELBO, offering fresh insights into the interpretability and inherent biases of VAEs.

FedGRec: Dynamic Spatio-Temporal Federated Graph Learning for Secure and Efficient Cross-Border Recommendations

Due to the highly sensitive nature of certain data in cross-border sharing, collaborative cross-border recommendations and data sharing are often subject to stringent privacy protection regulations, resulting in insufficient data for model training. Consequently, achieving efficient cross-border business recommendations while ensuring privacy security poses a significant challenge. Although federated learning has demonstrated broad potential in collaborative training without exposing raw data, most existing federated learning-based GNN training methods still rely on federated averaging strategies, which perform suboptimally on highly heterogeneous graph data. To address this issue, we propose FedGRec, a privacy-preserving federated graph learning method for cross-border recommendations. FedGRec captures user preferences from distributed multi-domain data to enhance recommendation performance across all domains without privacy leakage. Specifically, FedGRec leverages collaborative signals from local subgraphs associated with users or items to enrich their representation learning. Additionally, it employs dynamic spatiotemporal modeling to integrate global and local user preferences in real time based on business recommendation states, thereby deriving the final representations of target users and candidate items. By automatically filtering relevant behaviors, FedGRec effectively mitigates noise interference from unreliable neighbors. Furthermore, through a personalized federated aggregation strategy, FedGRec adapts global preferences to heterogeneous domain data, enabling collaborative learning of user preferences across multiple domains. Extensive experiments on three datasets demonstrate that FedGRec consistently outperforms competitive single-domain and cross-domain baselines while effectively preserving data privacy in cross-border recommendations.

Graph Privacy: A Heterogeneous Federated GNN for Trans-Border Financial Data Circulation

The sharing of external data has become a strong demand of financial institutions, but the privacy issue has led to the difficulty of interconnecting different platforms and the low degree of data openness. To effectively solve the privacy problem of financial data in trans-border flow and sharing, to ensure that the data is available but not visible, to realize the joint portrait of all kinds of heterogeneous data of business organizations in different industries, we propose a Heterogeneous Federated Graph Neural Network (HFGNN) approach. In this method, the distribution of heterogeneous business data of trans-border organizations is taken as subgraphs, and the sharing and circulation process among subgraphs is constructed as a statistically heterogeneous global graph through a central server. Each subgraph learns the corresponding personalized service model through local training to select and update the relevant subset of subgraphs with aggregated parameters, and effectively separates and combines topological and feature information among subgraphs. Finally, our simulation experimental results show that the proposed method has higher accuracy performance and faster convergence speed than existing methods.

Anisotropic Raman scattering and lattice orientation identification of 2M-WS2

Anisotropic materials with low symmetries hold significant promise for next-generation electronic and quantum devices. 2M-WS2, a candidate for topological superconductivity, has garnered considerable interest. However, a comprehensive understanding of how its anisotropic features contribute to unconventional superconductivity, along with a simple, reliable method to identify its crystal orientation, remains elusive. Here, we combine theoretical and experimental approaches to investigate angle- and polarization-dependent anisotropic Raman modes of 2M-WS2. Through first-principles calculations, we predict and analyze phonon dispersion and lattice vibrations of all Raman modes in 2M-WS2. We establish a direct correlation between their anisotropic Raman spectra and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images. Finally, we demonstrate that anisotropic Raman spectroscopy can accurately determine the crystal orientation and twist angle between two stacked 2M-WS2 layers. Our findings provide insights into the electron-phonon coupling and anisotropic properties of 2M-WS2, paving the way for the use of anisotropic materials in advanced electronic and quantum devices.

Crossover from Conventional to Unconventional Superconductivity in 2M-WS2

Leveraging reciprocal-space proximity effect between superconducting bulk and topological surface states (TSSs) offers a promising way to topological superconductivity. However, elucidating the mutual influence of bulk and TSSs on topological superconductivity remains a challenge. Here, we report pioneering transport evidence of a thickness-dependent transition from conventional to unconventional superconductivity in 2M-phase WS2 (2M-WS2). As the sample thickness reduces, we see clear changes in key superconducting metrics, including critical temperature, critical current, and carrier density. Notably, while thick 2M-WS2 samples show conventional superconductivity, with an in-plane (IP) upper critical field constrained by the Pauli limit, samples under 20 nm exhibit a pronounced IP critical field enhancement, inversely correlated with 2D carrier density. This marks a distinct crossover to unconventional superconductivity with strong spin-orbit-parity coupling. Our findings underscore the crucial role of sample thickness in accessing topological states in 2D topological superconductors, offering pivotal insights into future studies of topological superconductivity.

Learning with Geometry: Including Riemannian Geometric Features in Coefficient of Pressure Prediction on Aircraft Wings

We propose to incorporate Riemannian geometric features from the geometry of aircraft wing surfaces in the prediction of coefficient of pressure (CP) on the aircraft wing. Contrary to existing approaches that treat the wing surface as a flat object, we represent the wing as a piecewise smooth manifold and calculate a set of Riemannian geometric features (Riemannian metric, connection, and curvature) over points of the wing. Combining these features in neighborhoods of points on the wing with coordinates and flight conditions gives inputs to a deep learning model that predicts CP distributions. Experimental results show that the method with incorporation of Riemannian geometric features, compared to state-of-the-art Deep Attention Network (DAN), reduces the predicted mean square error (MSE) of CP by an average of 15.00% for the DLR-F11 aircraft test set.

Tunneling current-controlled spin states in few-layer van der Waals magnets

Effective control of magnetic phases in two-dimensional magnets would constitute crucial progress in spintronics, holding great potential for future computing technologies. Here, we report a new approach of leveraging tunneling current as a tool for controlling spin states in CrI3. We reveal that a tunneling current can deterministically switch between spin-parallel and spin-antiparallel states in few-layer CrI3, depending on the polarity and amplitude of the current. We propose a mechanism involving nonequilibrium spin accumulation in the graphene electrodes in contact with the CrI3 layers. We further demonstrate tunneling current-tunable stochastic switching between multiple spin states of the CrI3 tunnel devices, which goes beyond conventional bi-stable stochastic magnetic tunnel junctions and has not been documented in two-dimensional magnets. Our findings not only address the existing knowledge gap concerning the influence of tunneling currents in controlling the magnetism in two-dimensional magnets, but also unlock possibilities for energy-efficient probabilistic and neuromorphic computing.

Anomalous Tunneling Magnetoresistance Oscillation and Electrically Tunable Tunneling Anisotropic Magnetoresistance in Few-layer CrPS4

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnets with layer-dependent magnetic states and/or diverse magnetic interactions and anisotropies have attracted extensive research interest. Despite the advances, a notable challenge persists in effectively manipulating the tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) of 2D vdW magnet-based magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). Here, we report the novel and anomalous tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) oscillations and pioneering demonstration of bias and gate voltage controllable TAMR in 2D vdw MTJs, utilizing few-layer CrPS4. This material, inherently an antiferromagnet, transitions to a canted magnetic order upon application of external magnetic fields. Through TMR measurements, we unveil the novel, layer-dependent oscillations in the tunneling resistance for few-layer CrPS4 devices under both out-of-plane and in-plane magnetic fields, with a pronounced controllability via gate voltage. Intriguingly, we demonstrate that both the polarity and magnitude of TAMR in CrPS4 can be effectively tuned through either a bias or gate voltage. We further elucidate the mechanism behind this electrically tunable TAMR through first-principles calculations. The implications of our findings are far-reaching, providing new insights into 2D magnetism and opening avenues for the development of innovative spintronic devices based on 2D vdW magnets.

Isometric Immersion Learning with Riemannian Geometry

Manifold learning has been proven to be an effective method for capturing the implicitly intrinsic structure of non-Euclidean data, in which one of the primary challenges is how to maintain the distortion-free (isometry) of the data representations. Actually, there is still no manifold learning method that provides a theoretical guarantee of isometry. Inspired by Nash's isometric theorem, we introduce a new concept called isometric immersion learning based on Riemannian geometry principles. Following this concept, an unsupervised neural network-based model that simultaneously achieves metric and manifold learning is proposed by integrating Riemannian geometry priors. What's more, we theoretically derive and algorithmically implement a maximum likelihood estimation-based training method for the new model. In the simulation experiments, we compared the new model with the state-of-the-art baselines on various 3-D geometry datasets, demonstrating that the new model exhibited significantly superior performance in multiple evaluation metrics. Moreover, we applied the Riemannian metric learned from the new model to downstream prediction tasks in real-world scenarios, and the accuracy was improved by an average of 8.8%.

Novel deep learning methods for 3D flow field segmentation and classification

Flow field segmentation and classification help researchers to understand vortex structure and thus turbulent flow. Existing deep learning methods mainly based on global information and focused on 2D circumstance. Based on flow field theory, we propose novel flow field segmentation and classification deep learning methods in three-dimensional space. We construct segmentation criterion based on local velocity information and classification criterion based on the relationship between local vorticity and vortex wake, to identify vortex structure in 3D flow field, and further classify the type of vortex wakes accurately and rapidly. Simulation experiment results showed that, compared with existing methods, our segmentation method can identify the vortex area more accurately, while the time consumption is reduced more than 50%; our classification method can reduce the time consumption by more than 90% while maintaining the same classification accuracy level.

Pedestrian Recognition with Radar Data-Enhanced Deep Learning Approach Based on Micro-Doppler Signatures

As a hot topic in recent years, the ability of pedestrians identification based on radar micro-Doppler signatures is limited by the lack of adequate training data. In this paper, we propose a data-enhanced multi-characteristic learning (DEMCL) model with data enhancement (DE) module and multi-characteristic learning (MCL) module to learn more complementary pedestrian micro-Doppler (m-D) signatures. In DE module, a range-Doppler generative adversarial network (RDGAN) is proposed to enhance free walking datasets, and MCL module with multi-scale convolution neural network (MCNN) and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is trained to learn m-D signatures extracted from enhanced datasets. Experimental results show that our model is 3.33% to 10.24% more accurate than other studies and has a short run time of 0.9324 seconds on a 25-minute walking dataset.

Break The Spell Of Total Correlation In betaTCVAE

In the absence of artificial labels, the independent and dependent features in the data are cluttered. How to construct the inductive biases of the model to flexibly divide and effectively contain features with different complexity is the main focal point of unsupervised disentangled representation learning. This paper proposes a new iterative decomposition path of total correlation and explains the disentangled representation ability of VAE from the perspective of model capacity allocation. The newly developed objective function combines latent variable dimensions into joint distribution while relieving the independence constraints of marginal distributions in combination, leading to latent variables with a more manipulable prior distribution. The novel model enables VAE to adjust the parameter capacity to divide dependent and independent data features flexibly. Experimental results on various datasets show an interesting relevance between model capacity and the latent variable grouping size, called the "V"-shaped best ELBO trajectory. Additionally, we empirically demonstrate that the proposed method obtains better disentangling performance with reasonable parameter capacity allocation.
