On the sharpness of the $C^1$-norm threshold for perturbations in the normally hyperbolic invariant manifold theorem---a toy model perspective

The classical normally hyperbolic invariant manifold theorem asserts that a \(C^1\) normally hyperbolic invariant manifold persists under \(C^1\) small perturbations. For a family of standard-like dissipative twist maps, we show that the threshold \((1-\sqrt{\lambda})^2\) for the \(C^1\)-norm of the perturbation is sharp: there exists a $C^\infty$ perturbation \(\phi\) with \(\|\phi\|_{C^1} = (1-\sqrt{\lambda})^2\) such that the map preserves a unique invariant graph, but this graph possesses non-differentiable points. On the other hand, whenever \(\|\phi\|_{C^1} < (1-\sqrt{\lambda})^2\), the \(C^1\) normally hyperbolic invariant manifold persists, where \(\lambda\) denotes the Jacobian determinant of the map. This provides a critical threshold phenomenon for the persistence of invariant graphs in dissipative twist maps.

Clear-Weighted Bit Allocation for Satellite Downlinks

Earth-observation satellites capture more imagery than intermittent ground contacts can transmit. Onboard systems threshold a cloud detector, discard frames or tiles, and compress the survivors with a fixed codec. On expert-labeled imagery, these rules remove more than one-fifth of clear pixels, primarily through detector false positives. We train a neural codec with a clear-probability-weighted reconstruction loss, reallocating coded bytes from clouds to clear ground without requiring or transmitting a cloud map onboard. Each capture is encoded into a resumable base layer and a dependent refinement layer, while clear content is estimated from features produced by the encoder. At each contact, we causally rank arrived layers using estimated clear content, unfinished bytes, deadline slack, and aggregate deadline pressure. The scheduler serves base and computational deadlines, bounds stored residual bytes, and resumes interrupted packets. We evaluate the onboard-to-downlink pipeline using real entropy-coded bytes, orbit-derived interruptible contact capacities, and measured service time and energy on resource-constrained embedded accelerators. Clear-weighted codecs require up to 47.8\% fewer bytes than learned-compression baselines at matched clear-region quality. The optimized encoder consumes less time and energy than one pass of the cloud detector used by the frame-discard rules. Relative to fixed two-stage service on the same streams, our scheduler more than doubles deadline-full clear-content delivery for the interrupted combined cohort, reaches 83.6\% of a certified clairvoyant upper bound, and exceeds replayed reference orders in deadline-usable delivery.

Dynamic Emotion and Personality Profiling for Multimodal Deception Detection

Deception detection is of great significance for ensuring information security and conducting public opinion analysis, with personality factors and emotion cues playing a critical role. However, existing methods lack sample-level dynamic annotations for emotions and personality.In this paper, we propose an innovative multi-model multi-prompt annotation scheme and a strict label quality evaluation standard, and establish a multimodal joint detection dataset DDEP for deception, emotion, and personality. Meanwhile, we propose Rel-DDEP, an adaptive reliability-weighted fusion framework. Our framework quantifies uncertainty by mapping modal features to a high-dimensional Gaussian distribution space. It then performs reliability-weighted fusion and incorporates an alignment module and a sorting constraint module to achieve joint detection of deception, emotion, and personality. Experimental results on the MDPE and DDEP datasets show that our Rel-DDEP significantly outperforms the existing state-of-the-art baseline models in three tasks. The F1 score of the deception detection increases by 2.53%, that of the emotion detection increases by 2.66%, and that of the personality detection increases by 9.30%. The experiments fully verify the necessity of annotating dynamic emotion and personality labels for each sample and the effectiveness of reliability-weighted fusion.

Cloud-OpsBench: A Reproducible Benchmark for Agentic Root Cause Analysis in Cloud Systems

LLM agents are increasingly explored for automating root cause analysis (RCA) in cloud-native systems, creating a need to evaluate both diagnostic correctness and the quality of the supporting investigation. Existing static benchmarks offer repeatable inputs but limited system-facing interaction, while live testbeds expose realistic tools but hinder controlled comparison because incident evidence varies across runs; both paradigms focus primarily on final answers. To address these limitations, we present Cloud-OpsBench, an evaluation infrastructure for interactive and evidence-grounded cloud RCA. It comprises 754 runtime-verified cases across 57 fault types on two microservice workloads spanning application services and Kubernetes platform layers. Each fault is captured as a state snapshot and replayed through standard diagnostic interfaces, with outcome labels and diagnostic evidence graphs that enable matched comparisons and process-level analysis. Across ten LLM agents, the strongest Joint RCA Accuracy (JRA) reaches 0.76 on OnlineBoutique and 0.68 on TrainTicket, while the corresponding Evidence Closure Rates (ECR) are only 0.38 and 0.15. This outcome--process gap shows that final-answer correctness alone substantially overestimates agents' ability to perform evidence-grounded diagnosis.

Why Does the LLM Stop Computing: An Empirical Study of User-Reported Failures in Open-Source LLMs

The democratization of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) allows users to fine-tune and deploy models on local infrastructure but exposes them to a First Mile deployment landscape. Unlike black-box API consumption, the reliability of user-managed orchestration remains a critical blind spot. To bridge this gap, we conduct the first large-scale empirical study of 705 real-world failures from the open-source DeepSeek, Llama, and Qwen ecosystems. Our analysis reveals a paradigm shift: white-box orchestration relocates the reliability bottleneck from model algorithmic defects to the systemic fragility of the deployment stack. We identify three key phenomena: (1) Diagnostic Divergence: runtime crashes distinctively signal infrastructure friction, whereas incorrect functionality serves as a signature for internal tokenizer defects. (2) Systemic Homogeneity: Root causes converge across divergent series, confirming reliability barriers are inherent to the shared ecosystem rather than specific architectures. (3) Lifecycle Escalation: Barriers escalate from intrinsic configuration struggles during fine-tuning to compounded environmental incompatibilities during inference. Supported by our publicly available dataset, these insights provide actionable guidance for enhancing the reliability of the LLM landscape.

Sum Rate Maximization in STAR-RIS-UAV-Assisted Networks: A CA-DDPG Approach for Joint Optimization

With the rapid advances in programmable materials, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) have become a pivotal technology for future wireless communications. The simultaneous transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (STAR-RIS) can both transmit and reflect signals, enabling comprehensive signal control and expanding application scenarios. This paper introduces an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to further enhance system flexibility and proposes an optimization design for the spectrum efficiency of the STAR-RIS-UAV-assisted wireless communication system. We present a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm capable of iteratively optimizing beamforming, phase shifts, and UAV positioning to maximize the system's sum rate through continuous interactions with the environment. To improve exploration in deterministic policies, we introduce a stochastic perturbation factor, which enhances exploration capabilities. As exploration is strengthened, the algorithm's ability to accurately evaluate the state-action value function becomes critical. Thus, based on the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm, we propose a convolution-augmented deep deterministic policy gradient (CA-DDPG) algorithm that balances exploration and evaluation to improve the system's sum rate. The simulation results demonstrate that the CA-DDPG algorithm effectively interacts with the environment, optimizing the beamforming matrix, phase shift matrix, and UAV location, thereby improving system capacity and achieving better performance than other algorithms.

Hierarchical Prediction-based Management for LMaaS Systems

Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized numerous domains, driving the rise of Language-Model-as-a-Service (LMaaS) platforms that process millions of queries daily. These platforms must minimize latency and meet Service Level Objectives (SLOs) while optimizing resource usage. However, conventional cloud service management techniques, designed for traditional workloads, are suboptimal for LMaaS due to its dynamic service workloads and variable request loads. To address this, we propose PreServe, a tailored LMaaS management framework centered on hierarchical prediction. PreServe incorporates a service workload predictor to estimate periodic token density at a coarse granularity and a novel request load predictor to assess the resource demand of individual LLM requests, enabling the construction of a load anticipator for each LLM instance. By integrating both long-term and short-term predictions, PreServe adjusts resource allocation in advance, mitigating the risks of instance under- or over-provisioning. Besides, PreServe optimizes request routing by considering both current and anticipated future instance loads, ensuring balanced load distribution across instances. Evaluations on real-world production datasets show that PreServe outperforms state-of-the-art methods, reducing tail latency by 41.3%, cutting resource consumption by 49.38%, while incurring only 0.23% additional overhead.

Cross-Document Cross-Lingual NLI via RST-Enhanced Graph Fusion and Interpretability Prediction

Natural Language Inference (NLI) is a fundamental task in natural language processing. While NLI has developed many sub-directions such as sentence-level NLI, document-level NLI and cross-lingual NLI, Cross-Document Cross-Lingual NLI (CDCL-NLI) remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we propose a novel paradigm: CDCL-NLI, which extends traditional NLI capabilities to multi-document, multilingual scenarios. To support this task, we construct a high-quality CDCL-NLI dataset including 25,410 instances and spanning 26 languages. To address the limitations of previous methods on CDCL-NLI task, we further propose an innovative method that integrates RST-enhanced graph fusion with interpretability-aware prediction. Our approach leverages RST (Rhetorical Structure Theory) within heterogeneous graph neural networks for cross-document context modeling, and employs a structure-aware semantic alignment based on lexical chains for cross-lingual understanding. For NLI interpretability, we develop an EDU (Elementary Discourse Unit)-level attribution framework that produces extractive explanations. Extensive experiments demonstrate our approach's superior performance, achieving significant improvements over both conventional NLI models as well as large language models. Our work sheds light on the study of NLI and will bring research interest on cross-document cross-lingual context understanding, hallucination elimination and interpretability inference. Our code and datasets are available at "https://github.com/Leonardo123-ui/CDCL_NLI" for peer review.

Widespread remote introgression in the grass genomes

Genetic transfers are pervasive across both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, encompassing canonical genomic introgression between species or genera and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) across kingdoms. However, DNA transfer between phylogenetically distant species, here defined as remote introgression (RI), has remained poorly explored in evolutionary genomics. In this study, we present RIFinder, a novel phylogeny-based method for RI event detection, and apply it to a comprehensive dataset of 122 grass genomes. Our analysis identifies 622 RI events originating from 543 distinct homologous genes, revealing distinct characteristics among grass subfamilies. Specifically, the subfamily Pooideae exhibits the highest number of introgressed genes while Bambusoideae contains the lowest. Comparisons among accepted genes, their donor copies and native homologs demonstrate that introgressed genes undergo post-transfer localized adaptation, with significant functional enrichment in stress-response pathways. Notably, we identify a large Triticeae-derived segment in a Chloridoideae species Cleistogenes songorica, which is potentially associated with its exceptional drought tolerance. Furthermore, we provide compelling evidence that RI has contributed to the origin and diversification of biosynthetic gene clusters of gramine, a defensive alkaloid chemical, across grass species. Collectively, our study establishes a robust method for RI detection and highlights its critical role in adaptive evolution.

LLMPrism: Black-box Performance Diagnosis for Production LLM Training Platforms

Large Language Models (LLMs) have brought about revolutionary changes in diverse fields, rendering LLM training of utmost importance for modern enterprises. To meet this demand, multi-tenant large-scale LLM training platforms have been built to offer LLM training services. Nevertheless, due to the complexity and synchronous nature of LLM training process, performance issues occur frequently and can result in substantial resource wastage. The limited visibility from the perspective of platform providers impedes existing profiling methods and poses challenges to the monitoring and diagnosis of the performance of LLM training jobs. For the first time, this paper proposes the utilization of underlying network flow data to reconstruct the training timelines of jobs based on the distinct characteristics in the LLM training procedure. We design LLMPrism, the first black-box performance diagnosis system for LLM training platforms. By progressively recognizing LLM training jobs, identifying their parallelism strategies, and reconstructing the training timelines, LLMPrism achieves non-intrusive, lightweight, and continuous monitoring of LLM training systems. Leveraging this monitoring capability, it further effectively diagnoses potential performance issues. Since Oct. 2024, LLMPrism has been deployed on our large-scale production Platform-X, in which the evaluations and deployment experiences demonstrate that LLMPrism can achieve accurate timeline reconstruction with an error within 0.3% and effectively diagnose various performance issues.

SocialMOIF: Multi-Order Intention Fusion for Pedestrian Trajectory Prediction

The analysis and prediction of agent trajectories are crucial for decision-making processes in intelligent systems, with precise short-term trajectory forecasting being highly significant across a range of applications. Agents and their social interactions have been quantified and modeled by researchers from various perspectives; however, substantial limitations exist in the current work due to the inherent high uncertainty of agent intentions and the complex higher-order influences among neighboring groups. SocialMOIF is proposed to tackle these challenges, concentrating on the higher-order intention interactions among neighboring groups while reinforcing the primary role of first-order intention interactions between neighbors and the target agent. This method develops a multi-order intention fusion model to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of both direct and indirect intention information. Within SocialMOIF, a trajectory distribution approximator is designed to guide the trajectories toward values that align more closely with the actual data, thereby enhancing model interpretability. Furthermore, a global trajectory optimizer is introduced to enable more accurate and efficient parallel predictions. By incorporating a novel loss function that accounts for distance and direction during training, experimental results demonstrate that the model outperforms previous state-of-the-art baselines across multiple metrics in both dynamic and static datasets.

Orientation and mobility test in virtual reality, a tool for quantitative assessment of functional vision: dataset and evaluation in healthy subjects

The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a novel virtual reality seated orientation and mobility (VR-S-O&M) test protocol designed to assess functional vision. This study aims to provide a dataset of healthy subjects using this protocol and preliminary analyses. We introduced a VR-based O&M test protocol featuring a novel seated displacement method, diverse lighting conditions, and varying course configurations within a virtual environment. Normally sighted participants (N=42) completed the test, which required them to navigate a path and destroy identified obstacles. We assessed basic performance metrics, including time duration, number of missed objects, and time before the first step, under different environmental conditions to verify ecological validity. Additionally, we analyzed participants' behaviors regarding missed objects, demonstrating the potential of integrating behavioral and interactive data for a more precise functional vision assessment. Our VR-S-O&M test protocol, along with the first O&M behavior dataset, presents significant opportunities for developing more refined performance metrics for assessing functional vision and enhancing the quality of life.

OlympiadBench: A Challenging Benchmark for Promoting AGI with Olympiad-Level Bilingual Multimodal Scientific Problems

Recent advancements have seen Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) surpassing general human capabilities in various tasks, approaching the proficiency level of human experts across multiple domains. With traditional benchmarks becoming less challenging for these models, new rigorous challenges are essential to gauge their advanced abilities. In this work, we present OlympiadBench, an Olympiad-level bilingual multimodal scientific benchmark, featuring 8,476 problems from Olympiad-level mathematics and physics competitions, including the Chinese college entrance exam. Each problem is detailed with expert-level annotations for step-by-step reasoning. Evaluating top-tier models on OlympiadBench, we implement a comprehensive assessment methodology to accurately evaluate model responses. Notably, the best-performing model, GPT-4V, attains an average score of 17.97% on OlympiadBench, with a mere 10.74% in physics, highlighting the benchmark rigor and the intricacy of physical reasoning. Our analysis orienting GPT-4V points out prevalent issues with hallucinations, knowledge omissions, and logical fallacies. We hope that our challenging benchmark can serve as a valuable resource for helping future AGI research endeavors.
