Gaby recently reported a fantastic piece about Hernando County, Florida, where last month the county commission unanimously approved a yearlong moratorium on data center construction. She attended a protest there organized by a group called Humans First, a conservative grassroots movement focused on combating AI data center build-outs. Verge subscribers, don’t forget you get exclusive access to ad-free Decoder wherever you get your podcasts. Head here. Not a subscriber? You can sign up here. You’ll hear Gaby explain that it was part of a bigger, broader, and bipartisan opposition to data centers. Not only as physical buildings, but as infrastructure that powers an AI boom that takes local jobs and fills feeds with slop. Data center construction has become a proxy for the public’s feelings about AI: something physical they can aim their fear and frustration at — and even create enough pressure to stop through community organizing and protests. So I wanted Gaby to talk me through what these protests look like on the ground, from voters whose party affiliations have typically aligned them with big business. You’ll hear Gaby say data centers are scrambling party lines, turning diehard Trump voters into protesters who care about left-coded issues like groundwater contamination and forever chemicals. It’s a confusing time, and data centers are going to play a major role in electoral politics going forward. So I suspect this won’t be the last we hear from Gaby on movements like Humans First. Okay: Verge policy reporter Gaby Del Valle on the bipartisan data center backlash. Here we go. This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. Gaby Del Valle, you’re a policy reporter here at The Verge. Welcome back to Decoder. Thank you. Happy to be here. I’m excited to talk to you. You were on previously with our friend Alex Heath, but this is the first time I’ve gotten to talk to you in Decoder. I think the story you just wrote about data centers and conservative backlash in Florida is just a real preview of what tech policy going into the midterm elections is going to be like. You were just there. You talked to a bunch of people who are protesting data centers. It is a real alignment scramble in terms of our politics. Tell us what you found. What I found was people are really, really, really, really mad. And the reasons why they’re mad are different depending on the community, but they’re also all the same, if that makes sense. They have localized concerns. They were telling me Florida’s really humid. It doesn’t make sense to build a data center that needs to be kept very cool and dry in such a humid place. A lot of them were concerned about their groundwater. They were concerned about PFAS getting dumped into the water. But I’ve also talked to people in Arizona who have the opposite concern. Arizona is not very humid. Arizona’s very dry. And they’re also like, “It doesn’t make sense to build a data center in the desert.” So whatever your community is, you’re like, “It doesn’t make sense to build a data center here because of X reason,” basically. The thing that really strikes me in reading your piece and hearing about the other reporting you’re doing for pieces to come is that data center build-outs and data center protests do not neatly map to the usual right-left culture war alignment that we have seen play out for so long. And I’m curious about your view on that. Why can’t Elon Musk just command his army of followers to be pro-data centers? This is so interesting to me. So this is a little bit of backstory that’s going to answer your question. The woman who organized Humans First, which was bipartisan and now is focusing only on organizing conservatives, was an early founder or organizer with the Tea Party way back when. And this has a similar vibe to me. It’s not a left-right thing. It’s a populous technocrat divide. You’re seeing that on the right and the left. So for example, at the Abundance Conference last year, it was center-right to center-left-ish. And everybody was pro-nuclear, pro-AI. And we were hearing that, “These things are here to stay. We have to figure out how to do it smartly.” At the same time, the populist left and the populist right are both skeptical of tech development, to put it lightly. That skepticism plays out across a number of dimensions. I couldn’t help but be struck as I read your story by how many strains of conspiracy thinking there are about data centers. I’m curious if they’re just visible. They’re so big, and they require so much development and so much build-out that you can just glue any concerns you have onto them. “This big thing is happening, and I don’t feel any control. And I’m also worried about 5G, Chinese government interference, and X, Y, Z. And I can just point it all at this very big thing by which there’s a process to say no. I can go to my local town board meeting and literally say no.” I mean, I think that’s part of it. It’s interesting because I think there’s a spectrum of conspiratorial thinking to, I guess, misinformed thinking on the water use question. We now know that they don’t use as much water as we previously thought, et cetera, et cetera. But on the far end of the spectrum, one of the people I talked to told me that cattle born near data centers are all stillborn. I tried to track that down. I was like, “Where did this come from?” And it was one farmer in Texas who claims he had one stillborn calf on his cattle farm. So that got spun out via the internet rumor, social media mill. I think that’s part of it. There’s this issue of social collapse that comes out once you talk to people a little bit. One of the women I talked to said, “I had this friend. ChatGPT told her she couldn’t be friends with me anymore.” You have all of these stories of people harming themselves, going off their medication, or whatever because they’ve been talking to a chatbot and it goes awry. I think this gives people a feeling of control. Where I can go to my community board meeting or my council members’ meeting, and I can say, “I don’t want this big building that houses the scary thing that is fracturing my community here.” So it’s not just the actual building. I think it’s a broader backlash to generative AI and to LLMs specifically. One of my ideas that I’ve been pushing on lately is that the AI products are not winning over hearts and minds in the market. So if the data centers just said Netflix on them, maybe people would like them more. But instead, that’s where the slop is coming from, and it’s why the jobs are going to go away. It’s also where Mark Zuckerberg is just going to get even wealthier. Is there a dynamic of that — that people just don’t like the thing that the data centers make? Yes, absolutely. They don’t like a lot of the things that the data centers make. It’s not just AI. I think AI is a big part of it, but this is a little preview of a different story I’m working on… In Tucson, there’s a data center project that’s getting built out. The people I talked to there said, “Yeah, this might be an Amazon Web Services facility, and Amazon works with ICE.” So this technology is fueling mass deportations through, not directly, but creating the non-sexy infrastructure that surveillance is built on. There are two things to it. Part of it is a NIMBY, “I don’t want this thing in my backyard, literally. I don’t want my town to get polluted. I don’t want this. I don’t want that. I don’t want to see it. I don’t want the noise pollution.” And then the other part is, “I do not like what this big building represents and what it has wrought on society.” Does that cut across bipartisan lines? Or is that more culture war coded? It’s both. It cuts across culture war lines in that people have different concerns about what LLMs do. So one woman I spoke to was talking about the fracturing of social bonds. On the construction front, she was like, “We’re a rural-ish community. We don’t want this big blight on our nice rolling hills.” So that’s a right-coded thing. And there was a lot of anti-development stuff that is neither right nor left. On the left, I would say there’s similar culture war concerns, but it’s… I don’t know if this is necessarily a culture war concern, but fueling deportations. Both sides, I think, are concerned about the job losses because of AI. And both sides have caught on to the fact that these facilities don’t really have a lot of long-term job prospects. There’s the big construction boom. There’s an HVAC situation. But to actually maintain these facilities, it doesn’t require that many people. I think people have caught onto that. The promises of the AI data job, or that the AI boom will lead to jobs related to data centers, are not actually true. Yeah. At most, it’s a few hundred jobs for each of these facilities, at least in the data centers we have now. Why do you think some of the protests make national news? The Kevin O’Leary data center in Utah is a national story. Maybe it’s just because he’s a cartoon character. And then there’s a new project in Georgia where there might be a huge OpenAI facility that seems to go under the radar. There are all of the projects in Florida that you are reporting on, but don’t seem to be explosive in the way that some of the other ones are. Yeah, I think that’s a good question. There was one in Florida that was explosive, and it was just because it was near Mar-a-Lago. I think that one pretty obviously made the national news because it’s related to the president. I honestly think a cartoon character at the center of it is the deciding factor a lot of the time on whether it’ll become a national story or not. And then also the numbers. The Utah one, I don’t remember off the top of my head how big it’s supposed to be, but it’s supposed to be huge. So then that becomes a proxy for all data center development. They’re being planned everywhere. And I think what’s so interesting is that the backlash exists everywhere too. I relied a lot on, for example, the Tampa Bay Times to figure out the background for this story. They’re on top of it. They’re going to these meetings and watching people get yelled at and asked, “Did you sign an NDA? Yes or no?” Do you think the local governments are being responsive? You’ve now gone to some of these protests; you’ve talked to people on the ground in various counties across the country. The basic unit of democracy is supposed to be your local government because you know those people and you can yell at them in the grocery store and the town board meeting. We’re seeing there’s a wall going up in some of these cases where the local governments are saying, “No, we have to do this development. This is the only economic development available.” And the people are saying, “No, we’re going to throw you out.” Do you think local governments on the whole are being responsive or not responsive at all? I think it really depends. In Hernando County, they did pass a moratorium. There are a lot of counties in Florida where moratoriums have passed. But in Tucson, again, the city government is responsive to what the people want and the county government isn’t, and they’re at odds with each other. There are all these videos of people yelling at their representatives about NDAs again. And then them being like, “We cannot say whether we signed an NDA,” which is an answer, but whatever. I think it really depends on a lot of things. How small the communities are, for one. How vulnerable the people in office feel to getting voted out, I think, is another big one. In Florida, the Republican primary for governor, I think, might be affected by this issue. The primary is in a few weeks and the front-runner, Byron Donalds, has taken a lot of money from the AI industry and data center development groups. And people are mad. People are really mad. He was endorsed by Trump, and everyone I spoke to, as proud Trump voters, said things like, “I don’t understand why Trump would endorse him. I’m not going to vote for him.” One woman I talked to who told me she was opposed to everything Democrat said she would vote for a Democrat or an independent if Donalds won the primary. And Donalds has also changed… not his stance on data center development, but the way that he talks about it in response to a lot of this backlash. How has he changed the stance? How is he talking about it now? He says his vision is to make Florida the financial capital of the world. And to a lot of people, that would sound great, but these people are really upset by this, both because they… I mean, there are a lot of other things at play here. Housing costs in Florida have gone up exponentially. Not only in big cities like Miami, but in the suburbs of Tampa, for example. Housing prices have shot up to levels that I, as somebody who grew up there, just don’t understand. I literally can’t wrap my head around it. So I think a lot of the backlash to development and to data centers is also related to people’s cost of living going up and to these, in their words, outside developers coming in and changing a community that’s already changing. He has since said that we need data center development, but we need to do it responsibly. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is another great example of this. He supported a bill that would require data centers to pay their own utilities and also let counties require them to use reclaimed water, which would address the water issue. But the Tampa Bay Times reported that he also supported legislation that gives massive tax breaks to data centers. And that he pushed to amend that law, which I think was signed in 2017, to only apply to hyperscale data centers, which are the ones that people have problems with. The people I talk to, they know that there are currently data centers in Florida, and they’re smaller. There are no hyperscale data centers, but there are around one hundred smaller ones for Netflix or whatever. And they’re okay with that. One woman I talked to works in IT. She said, “I understand that data centers are a boogeyman, and we need them for stuff. But I don’t want this massive facility using all of our power, emitting these frequencies, et cetera, et cetera.” Another thing that I think is really interesting- Wait, can you just explain what “emitting these frequencies” means? [Laughs] Just the noise. I talked to these guys at the Border Security Expo who work for a data center company, and they all live in Virginia. Even they were like, “Yeah, it sucks.” They said, “I hate walking around my neighborhood because I just hear it all the time.” And they work in data centers. I don’t think she meant 5G. It’s a real element of this, right next to China being a villain of whatever persuasion you need China to be a villain for. Again, there’s just a piece of all this where it’s a big thing that you can stop. The power of NIMBYism can stop this. Maybe we can’t stop everything else. We can’t stop Facebook from doing targeted advertising that feels like it’s listening to you. No one knows how to stop this. It’s bad. We don’t like it, but no one knows how to stop it. “I can stop this building from being built” seems like it not only scrambles our culture war lines, but it’s scrambling politics, too. Byron Donalds saying he wants Florida to be the financial capital of the world. One, it’s very funny in that he has to contend with the existence of New York, London, Beijing, and Amsterdam. Go down the line. There are a lot of places that can compete for that title where Miami might not be in the running. But doing it via building data centers is not the path to that result. It’s just a bunch of economic development that might result in some short-term gains. It feels like people have clocked it, and they’ve clocked that it’s a thing you can stop. I’m curious if there’s anything else. You’ve spent a lot of time covering the right, and I wonder if there’s anything else that scrambles the lines like that. Because in almost every other case, “let’s build stuff, let’s tear down the White House and build a ballroom” is fine. Building things is better, and it is coded in one side of the culture war. Yeah. I mean, this is, again, so Florida specific, but it really surprised me how much of the politics around this were scrambled. One of the women was talking about this ballot initiative that’s going to pass. It’s going to give more tax exemptions to homeowners, which I feel is a standard Republican thing — lower taxes for homeowners. People would like that. She said, “This is terrible. It’s going to deprive county governments of funds that they would otherwise get from homeowners, which will then entice the counties even further to have data centers come into our communities.” So she was thinking of the second- and third-order effects of this, even though that’s a pretty populist initiative. But yeah, it’s all so scrambled. How do you see the scramble inside of the right and then carrying over to the populist left? The idea that a bunch of billionaires threw all of their weight behind Donald Trump in 2024, and that led to, I don’t know, a bunch of podcast bros throwing their weight behind Donald Trump in 2024. There was a cultural wave of Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Elon Musk, and the All-In podcast about building and tech and the future. It feels like that has come to one kind of end. I don’t think that that wave is driving the culture anymore because of the backlash to AI. We can all see the college students booing at graduation. If the backlash is there against the data centers, against AI taking the jobs, against billionaires in general, what does that turn into on the right? Because that was the animating force of the right for so long. I think that is still an open question. I think the question is whether this backlash is strong enough to shake people’s other partisan concerns. If you’ve got a Democrat candidate who is anti-data center development, but also not super gung-ho about deputizing all Florida police officers to do ICE arrests, where does that leave someone who supports Trump’s immigration policies but doesn’t want a data center in their neighborhood? I don’t know. I think that’s what the party is struggling with right now. I mean, I think Trump is this perfect avatar for people because he somehow stands for anti-elite sentiment, but also for hard work and capitalism. He’s just this perfect blend of, I don’t even know how to describe it. He contains multitudes, I guess. And nobody else can contain multitudes like him. They don’t have the juice. They just don’t have it. Can I make the argument? Yeah. I think I can make the argument. I grew up in Wisconsin, which has many similar dynamics to maybe Florida, in that people in Wisconsin remember a time when there were big factories. In the town I grew up in, Racine, there used to be a Case factory that made tractors. There was a Chrysler factory in Kenosha that made Jeep Wranglers. This is a real thing that occurred, and all those things are gone. So Trump would promise all of this huge economic development that basically looked like manufacturing. I think what his version of this, even with tariffs, was, “We will bring manufacturing back to all of these places. And that manufacturing will require a lot of hard work, but there will be dignity in that hard work.” At the end of it, you’re going to get to point to a Modine air conditioner and be like, “I made that thing. My community made that thing.” I think that is very seductive. I mean, Trump spent years promising that we would build iPhones in America, and that’s Wisconsin and Foxconn and all this stuff. Maybe none of those things were ever going to come true because that’s not how anything gets made anymore. And that’s not even the kind of work people actually want to do in America anymore. But you take all of that energy, and you’re like, “Actually, what we’re going to make is data centers.” And no one can see at the end of that, “I made a Jeep Wrangler.” They get to see that Elon Musk got richer; they just lost their jobs, their children feel like they have no future, and their feeds are full of slop. And I feel like something gets disconnected in the multitudes where you can tell everyone, “Yeah, the best I can do for you is make you the world’s richest factory foreman.” So people are like, “That sounds awesome. That’s better than whatever nonsense I’m doing online.” But you can’t be like, “I’m going to make Sam Altman richer,” because that doesn’t mean anything to anyone. All of this construction doesn’t do anything for anyone. I look at the backlash, and all I see is that a lot of people across the political spectrum have come to that realization. You can tear down our communities to build bridges and factories, and you can pollute the skies with smokestacks as long as we all get jobs. But if you’re going to do all that and all I get is more AI-generated movie posters on Amazon Prime whose price keeps going up every month, screw you. And I’m wondering if that connection is… That’s my guess. I’m wondering if you see any hints of that connection in your reporting as you talk to all these people. I think so. I think the Florida version of making a Jeep Wrangler is like, there were orange groves and cattle ranches, and now there are not. I used to drive past an orange grove when I was a kid. That orange grove is gone. It’s a Publix now. There was an old cow field. Now that’s a mall. On the one hand, that’s what people want. People want consumption, but they also, at least in Florida, liked thinking that they lived near an orange grove. Like, “Oh, maybe the guy’s using tons of pesticides. Maybe the orange grove is worse for your health than the data center.” I don’t know. I don’t have the stats on this. But you could see the tangible effects of what your economy was producing. Now it’s just like, “There’s a building that none of us can go in. It makes a horrible noise. And I think it’s drinking all my water?” And then it’s also making your kids dumb and alienated, and making everybody lose their jobs. People don’t like that. Again, these aren’t Luddites. The woman I talked to said, “I found out about the Humans First organizing [efforts] via Facebook. I know there’s an irony in that. I know there’s an irony in me working in IT and opposing this data center.” They’re not dumb. They understand that all of these things that we’ve built our lives around require something to power them. They just don’t want that something to be within driving distance of their house. They want it somewhere else. And it’s unclear where that somewhere else should be apart from space. Apart from space. That is a very different episode of Decoder. But that’s one answer the industry has: “These people, their stupid concerns are too annoying. We’ll just put the data centers in space,” and maybe they’ll solve that problem. Who knows? The other answer is, “We’ll just horsepower over their concerns. This is too important. We’re going to do it anyway. And maybe we’ll just subsidize a bunch of education in some community. Maybe we’ll just pay a bunch of extra money. Maybe we’ll pay for everyone’s electricity.” I don’t know if those have gotten any traction. Is there anything that the tech companies or the neoclouds could do in these communities to overcome the objections? Could they just pay for healthcare? Or is that just a non-starter? I don’t know about paying for healthcare, but something that I didn’t include in the piece, because it was extremely dry and very technical, was that the small protest ended with about an hour and a half long presentation from a land use expert on how to write local zoning ordinances to prevent hyperscale data centers from being built. It was really specific stuff, like “You could have them on multiple small parcels of land.” It was really dry. “You could require them to use this amount of reclaimed water, et cetera, et cetera.” I think what people want more than the data centers not being there is a degree of community input on how they’re built — if they’re going to be built. I think if they got that, they would maybe not be pacified, but they would at least not feel like there’s a big external force coming in and steamrolling their community, especially when they already feel like that in every other aspect of their life. This is the thing that I’m most curious about. So much of our politics and our culture has been nationalized. Everything happens at the national level. The fact that the mayor of New York is a national political figure is at once very silly and also just the funniest thing that has happened in a long time. Data centers are very local. They’re happening to people in their backyards, and a data center being built in Florida, Georgia, or Tucson has nothing to do with me in New York. It’s far away enough. Maybe what you’re hearing from everybody is just, “Somewhere else, and as we get to somewhere else, I won’t care.” But it is very local. And then it is very in person. People are going to the meetings; they’re encountering one another. There have been stories of bridges across party lines from people who would never like each other normally because they both hate the data centers. Is there an element of a return to actual local politics and actual community building here that could be catalyzed by opposition to data centers? I really think so. Again, I’m talking to organizers in multiple states who are going to these community, town council, or county council meetings and yelling at their representatives. And sometimes it’s hundreds of people. I think this is maybe a weird analogy, but it reminds me of the local backlash to right-wing organizing and local education policy, which is where a lot of the anti-trans backlash started. You’d go into the school board, and you’d be like, “I don’t want this gender stuff being taught to my child. I don’t want my kids to know that slavery was bad.” I’m not comparing them in terms of value judgment. I just think it’s at a level of local engagement that is at the same time a national issue. It’s these really, really, really localized policies that may end up driving, if not national policy change and national policy discussions, but at least national political vibes. Whoever wins the Democratic and Republican primaries and runs for president in 2028, what are they going to be saying about data centers? I don’t know, but I know it’s going to be informed by what happens this year and next year. I’m actually very curious how Trump handles it. As you said, he contains multitudes. He’s very good at reading his own base. It feels like the Trump base is very much polarized around data centers. There are a lot of people who love Donald Trump but hate data centers. And then there’s his money, which loves the AI build-out and loves data centers. That is a fracture as deep as anything. A lot of those folks will say, “AI just has a marketing problem. If only we could convince people of the benefits of this build-out and the super intelligence to come, they would be on board.” The best marketer they could have for that would be Donald Trump. But he doesn’t seem to be willing to make those claims at the level that they might need. And certainly he is very attuned to his base hating AI. How do you think he’s going to play it? And how do you think the MAGA coalition will respond to it? Okay, so do you remember when Trump was talking about H-1B visas? Or not even when he was talking about it, but just the whole swirl around what we’re going to do about these? Yeah. Trump said, “I think we should stamp an H-1B visa to every foreign student’s college graduation diploma.” And I thought, “What are you talking about? Your administration is charging $100,000 for these visas.” He kept saying things like, “These kids are really smart. We need them in America building chips.” I think he’s just going to do it like that. The thing about Trump is that he can say literally whatever, and he can do literally whatever, and the people who like him will continue to like him. Sometimes they’ll be like, “Oh, well, I don’t like this particular policy of his. I don’t know why he endorsed this candidate,” but they’re still going to back the guy. But enough to split the difference on this issue? In every other issue, he could polarize the electorate, and he would get there, but, “I’m going to put a data center in the backyard, and it’s going to make that noise.” Maybe not enough. But the thing is that they don’t see it as coming from Trump. They’re thinking, “These companies are coming into our community.” And if you connect the dots, it’s like, “Who supports those companies? The president. Who is giving the president a lot of money? All these different companies.” That’s not how people see it. They see it as these tech oligarchs who are just disconnected from politics and disconnected from anything because of all their money. They don’t see that as having a connection to the president. Instead, they see that as having a connection to the governor, to the board of commissioners, or whatever. But Trump is floating above it all. I don’t know why. Well, I’m curious, and maybe we should end it here. The Florida gubernatorial primaries are coming up. If Donalds loses, even with that Trump endorsement over the data center issue, do you think that will be a signal or a predictor of what will happen in the midterms? I think it would be a massive signal, if only because Donalds is polling so much further ahead than everybody else. He’s the clear frontrunner, and the lieutenant governor who’s polling second is also pro-data centers. If any of the anti-data center candidates win the Republican primary, that is going to be huge and completely unexpected by everybody in the state. But it could happen. Crazier things have happened. We’re going to be doing a lot of coverage of this in the months to come, especially ahead of the midterms, because this scrambling of party lines, this scrambling of the culture war, seems very important. The politics we’ve had for so long, they don’t seem like they can hold up to everyone hating the same thing. Maybe that’s all America needs. It does seem like every American hating these big buildings that make loud noises might be the thing that unifies us, which is good or bad. You can make your own decisions, but I can’t think of anything else. There’s nothing else that’s cutting across party lines this way. Can you? Literally nothing. Nothing at all. And it’s cutting across party lines, I think, not just in that people hate it, but I had these deeply conservative women talking to me about local environmental and ecological issues. They were talking about pesticides and forever chemicals in their water, which you wouldn’t expect looking at Republican politics five to 10 years ago, that this is where we have ended up. We’re still doing climate change hoaxes at the national level, and on the ground we’re talking about pesticides. There’s something there. Gaby, we’re going to have to have you back as the story develops and certainly as we go into all these elections. Thank you so much for being at Decoder. Yeah, thanks for having me. This was fun.

These pipelines answer \textit{what happened}, but they do not explain \textit{why the model believes it} or \textit{what the operator should do next}, and they do not put a human-readable name on the novelty clusters they discover. This paper evaluates a Large Language Model (LLM) agent layer placed downstream of the OWL pipeline, designed as a \textbf{companion} to the published upstream methods rather than a replacement. Using the Qwen3.5-397B-A17B Mixture-of-Experts model served via NVIDIA NIM, the agent receives structured sensor metrics and upstream classification or novelty assertions, and returns natural-language justifications, confidence-ranked critiques, and consolidated names for detected novelties. Across three studies spanning 989 real well-file segments from the 3W dataset, the agent achieved $35.1\%$ top-1 / $63.9\%$ top-3 (95\% CI [56.9, 70.4]) classification on all nine classes, $71.7\%$ top-2 validation [64.8, 77.6] with precision $0.91$ [0.84, 0.95] across 7 probed classes, and $89.7\%$ novelty detection [87.0, 91.9] with stable cluster naming on 5 of 7 hidden classes. The agent is not a standalone classifier. Its role is to: (1) confirm upstream decisions when sensor evidence supports them, (2) justify decisions in sensor-grounded language operators can audit, (3) flag disagreement when upstream labels are implausible, and (4) name novelties so that clustered unlabeled events arrive at the engineer with a consolidated human-readable label. The goal is to close the explainability gap that currently blocks deployment of OWL pipelines in operational settings.

AI 服務暫時不可用，以下為來源摘要，待恢復後補全翻譯：arXiv:2608.04309v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a structured large-language-model (LLM) architecture for zero-shot human--robot coordination in a cooperative construction task with private goal views. Guided by a Dec-POMDP formulation, the architecture decomposes decision-making into (i) action-conditioned Theory-of-Mind (ToM) inference, (ii) hierarchical planning, (iii) conversation interpretation, (iv) action verification, and (v) feedback-based replanning. We compare the proposed method with an ablation without ToM inference and a multi-agent reinforcement-learning policy trained offline over many goal pairs. In human-participant experiments, the proposed method required fewer interaction steps and yielded higher post-interaction trust ratings than both baselines. These results suggest that systematically decomposing the team decision problem, using LLMs as tractable surrogates for otherwise intractable inference and planning computations, and retaining conventional verification for physical feasibility can improve both task coordination and the human experience.

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar provides a privacy-friendly and contactless sensing modality, but radar observations are difficult to align with language. Existing radar-language methods often rely on synthetic data or lack explicit supervision for human body structure and motion. We present mmMind, a radar-language model that uses synchronized 3D pose as training-only supervision. A spatio-temporal radar encoder is pretrained to capture body configuration and motion dynamics, after which the pose head is removed so that inference requires radar alone. The learned radar representations are then aligned with an LLM for behavior captioning and spatio-temporal question answering. We also introduce mmMind-Bench, a real-world mmWave-language benchmark containing 17.9 hours of recordings from 23 participants across seven indoor environments. Experiments on captioning, question answering, and unseen-action generalization show that mmMind consistently outperforms existing radar-language baselines, while ablations confirm the importance of pose-guided pretraining.

We present a graph-to-answer mechanism-tracing case study for Graph-PRefLexOR-8B, a Qwen3-8B model adapted to expose distinct stages for brainstorming, graph construction, pattern extraction, and synthesis. We organize semantic backtracking, graph corruption, activation-based recovery measurements, and layer-by-token-region grids into a visual diagnostic workflow for inspecting this pathway. Across 100 open-ended materials-science questions, final answers remain closest to the model's own structured stages, especially synthesis. Under graph corruption, a full sweep over 37 residual-stream checkpoints, the embedding output and 36 transformer blocks, shows little mechanism recovery in the earlier transition region at layers 7--10, recovery instead concentrates in late synthesis and answer-start regions around layers 30 and 36. The workflow is intended to help scientists and model developers identify where a generated hypothesis loses or regains mechanism support before it is passed to downstream experimental planning.

Most NLP systems discard this disagreement by collapsing it into a majority vote. We propose the Multi-Agent Perspectivist Preference Optimization (MAP-PO) framework to keep these different perspectives. On the EXIST 2024 dataset of labeled English and Spanish tweets, we first cluster annotators by their labeling behavior rather than their demographic attributes. We then fine-tune one Large Language Model agent per cluster to reproduce that cluster's annotation behavior, and coordinate the agents with preference optimization that combines individual and team-level rewards. We evaluate MAP-PO in four settings defined by two languages and two backbone language models, asking whether each agent reproduces the annotations of its own cluster and whether the agents together reproduce the majority label. Two findings hold in all four settings. First, without fine-tuning the agents behave almost identically, so cluster-specific training is necessary. Second, we show that training each agent only on the labels of its own cluster pushes the agents far beyond the clusters they should represent, while adding a shared team-level training signal consistently keeps each agent calibrated to its cluster.

AI 服務暫時不可用，以下為來源摘要，待恢復後補全翻譯：arXiv:2608.04232v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biological systems must regulate competing needs under limited perceptual bandwidth, where sharpening one estimate costs the capacity to sharpen the others. Any fixed-budget system therefore has to decide where to allocate its perceptual precision. We study this in a foraging agent that must keep several bodily needs satisfied to survive, modelled with active inference. At each step it reads its own body-state beliefs, identifies the most-needed channel, and reallocates a fixed budget of interoceptive precision toward it, so that the same precision-shaped likelihood feeds both belief update and planning. In AffectWorld, a four-channel foraging gridworld, this selective allocation more than doubles learning-phase survival at matched budget against a uniform-precision agent ($0.414$ vs $0.199$ across 11 layouts, $n{=}32$ seeds each, paired cluster-bootstrap $p \leq 10^{-4}$). Two further results sharpen the mechanism. The benefit runs through planning as well as perception, since denying the shaped likelihood to the planner alone removes about half of it. It is also need-aligned, since aiming precision at the least-needed channel does worse than spreading it evenly. The attended channel additionally learns its own dynamics about twice as fast, and stays ahead even at matched observation count, a behavioural trace of the same precision routing, visible in learning speed, not survival.

Offline evaluations are more scalable but often abstract away human diversity and interactive behavior. We therefore introduce MatrAIx, a population-scale simulated-user evaluation infrastructure for testing AI systems and digital products with heterogeneous users. MatrAIx has three core components: First, Persona 8B contains 8.3 billion persona records represented by 1,290 categorical dimensions. Records are either sampled from a dependency graph that preserves correlated attributes or derived from human-authored profiles. We release a quality-filtered coreset of approximately 1 million personas, comprising 599,847 human-grounded and 400,000 synthetic records. Second, the MatrAIx Playground provides four environments in which diverse users evaluate and interact with digital products: Survey, AI Chatbot, Web, and App. Third, MatrAIx provides 1,010 application tasks spanning more than 25 domains, including Commerce, Software, Finance, and Healthcare. We conducted 18,189 evaluation trials across eight representative tasks. Persona agents were powered by three LLMs: Claude Opus 4.8, GPT 5.5, and Claude Haiku 4.5. The resulting feedback captures how decisions and preferences vary across persona backgrounds, including hesitation after a price increase, willingness to continue after an AI assistant fails, and latency tolerance. We conducted two main validation studies: First, a 400-trial controlled study evaluated persona adherence across ten behavioral attributes and all four environments. The declared behavior was expressed or correctly suppressed in 366 trials (91.5%). Second, human and LLM judges evaluated the extraction quality of human-grounded personas. Overall, MatrAIx provides an end-to-end infrastructure for evaluating AI systems and digital products with diverse simulated human users.

We term this capability \emph{comprehensive EEG understanding}. Existing evaluations, however, primarily target isolated decoding tasks or system-specific demonstrations, leaving the competence of large language models (LLMs) insufficiently quantified. We introduce \benchmarkname{}, a unified benchmark for comprehensive, instruction-conditioned EEG understanding. It comprises four subsets---Foundational Analysis, Sleep Assessment, Neurocognitive Assessment, and Physiological Integration---covering 17 datasets, \numcases{} tasks, and over \numinstances{} real-data instances. Given an instruction and EEG recordings with optional physiological signals, a system must perform the analysis and produce a scientifically grounded report and, when required, artifacts. Outputs are assessed through numerical, categorical, set, sequence, semantic, and artifact validation. We evaluate \nummodels{} representative LLMs across more than 100K executions under two paradigms: autonomous code execution with CodeAct and structured agentic analysis with BrainAgent. Results vary substantially across models, subsets, difficulty levels, and execution paradigms, showing that EEG competence depends on the model and its operationalization. \benchmarkname{} provides a reproducible testbed for advancing LLM-based EEG understanding. The code and benchmark will be released soon, with evaluation results continuously updated.

Existing personalized-memory benchmarks primarily test factual retention or rely on weakly constrained model-generated trajectories, leaving event-driven preference adaptation underexplored. We introduce FinPerMA, an event-grounded benchmark that evaluates personalized memory against frozen longitudinal investor trajectories. Its generation pipeline combines deterministic, theory-informed impact rules, controlled LLM narration, and automated quality screening; a Post-Shock checkpoint isolates whether an agent has integrated a material event into its persistent user model. On 2,994 questions from 276 personas, seven frontier LLMs and up to seven memory configurations remain far from saturated: no full-context configuration exceeds approximately 0.47 overall accuracy or approximately 39% on multiple-choice questions. Attribution analysis shows that summary-based memory often preserves factual details while losing the preference signals needed for personalization; simple retrieval can therefore outperform purpose-built memory systems, with the gap widening after shocks.

AI 服務暫時不可用，以下為來源摘要，待恢復後補全翻譯：arXiv:2608.04077v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating financial AI agents requires criteria aligned with real professional work. Existing rubric methods typically derive criteria from task prompts or model outputs, overlooking tacit standards visible only in practitioner deliverables. We introduce FinProBench, a benchmark for professional financial tasks, and Role-Grounded Rubric Construction (RGRC), a reusable pipeline that derives rubrics from deliverables produced by practitioners in the same role. RGRC comprises four stages: Deliverable Collection, Competency Extraction, Rubric Synthesis, and Validation. Its rubrics capture tacit standards, distinguish quality levels, and transfer across tasks within a role. Before analysis, we classified 57 occupations by deliverable genre into 30 prior-rich conventional roles and 27 prior-sparse role-specialized roles. Across all roles, Prompt-only nearly matches RGRC for conventional roles (89.2% vs. 90.7%), but RGRC substantially outperforms it for role-specialized roles (99.1% vs. 78.0%). This split indicates that prompt engineering can approximate rubrics when conventions are well represented in model priors, while professional grounding is essential for standards beyond those priors. FinProBench is built from 1,723 curated deliverables spanning 57 occupations, 8 financial sub-industries, and 161 deliverable types, and releases an initial evaluation set of 20 complete tasks covering 20 roles in 7 sub-industries. With heterogeneous LLM judges and role-level rubrics, human deliverables rank first on average (73.7 vs. 70.3, 70.2, and 69.6 out of 100), while all four systems show overlapping 95% confidence intervals and complementary strengths. Reusing rubrics at the role level reduces estimated per-task construction effort by 6.7 times relative to authoring each rubric from scratch.

We present an agent instrument built so that verification is structural rather than post-hoc. A deterministic Executive owns all belief; a language model may only file typed proposals, and a claim is admitted only when a prediction pre-registered before acting is matched against observation by code. Two properties make the instrument a verifier of its own science, not just of the agent: every run invalidates itself when per-organ write-error, render-size, or salted-canary-echo floors are breached (four of the first eight architecture runs were invalidated, each localizing a real defect); and a render-invisible shadow reference compiles the plan the full system would have committed in every ablation cell, so drift metrics are defined even where the mechanism under test has been removed. Using this instrument we report a clean, single-variable result on a failure every long-horizon agent suffers: ablating the commitment mechanism flips goal-abandonment from 0.00 to 1.00 while binding error stays flat at 0.00 (three seeds per cell, up to 394 reference beats per run, every run gated valid). The binding channel, by contrast, does not reappear as per-beat drift when its repair is ablated -- because binding is code-owned, the failure class is structurally absorbed, its only residue appearing one layer upstream as a collapse in hypothesis formation. We report these under full disclosure that task efficacy is null (zero level completions across 52 gated runs on ARC-AGI-3), pre-registered as a structural defeater. The contribution is a verification methodology for agent development and the drift decomposition it makes measurable.

Meta shipped their own coding agent as part of getting that to work!</p> <blockquote> <p>Muse Spark 1.2 is a coding-focused update to Muse Spark 1.1, with improvements in code generation, complex debugging, codebase understanding, and end-to-end developer workflows. In Muse Spark 1.2, we significantly scaled up training compute on coding tasks while expanding training environment diversity. The model also maintains its strength in other key areas like general agents. [...]</p> <p>We co-trained Muse Spark 1.2 with Muse Code to ensure the model exhibits its best performance and coding usability when paired together. The training included rejection sampled harness trajectories and recipe optimizations for goals, compaction, and subagents, alongside the integration of the Muse Code toolset to maximize harness compatibility. [...]</p> <p>Muse Spark 1.2 was extensively trained on long-horizon coding tasks, including whole-repository generation, large end-to-end projects, and auto-research.</p> </blockquote> <p>Here's a pelican riding a bicycle SVG <a href="https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer#url=https%3A%2F%2Fgist.github.com%2Fsimonw%2Fce974a21202b0595e36ec2a5ddb51480">produced by Muse Spark 1.2</a>:</p> <p><img alt="Cartoon illustration of a white pelican with an orange beak riding a red bicycle against a pale blue sky with clouds and a green strip of grass below.

This time it was the UK government's AI Security Institute who accidentally attacked other companies while running an evaluation with models with the safety filters turned off. From <a href="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/663bd486c5e4c81588db7a1d/6a724858f7db25c81487016d_Security%20Incident%20INC-2026-07-28-01.pdf">their technical paper</a> (PDF):</p> <blockquote> <p>During a cyber evaluation, from 25 to 28 July 2026, AI agents engaged in sustained, unsanctioned activity directed at what were, in practice, real people and organisations. These attempts were unsuccessful and, to the best of our knowledge, no real-world harm resulted. [...]</p> <p>Across 122 evaluation attempts on two of AISI’s cyber challenges, AISI found 19 instances where AI agents took unsanctioned action on the live internet, including cases that targeted real people and organisations. [...]</p> <p>It is uncertain to what extent the model recognised it was taking actions against real people. In the most serious case, an AI agent (Mythos 5) decided to attempt to solve the cyber challenge using a supply-chain attack. As a result, the AI agent created a GitHub account and then tried to convince an open-source repository maintainer to accept a malicious GitHub pull request (PR), including by creating a second account masquerading as another human user endorsing the PR. [...] Furthermore, in its attempt to solve the challenge, the agent decided to employ the technique of “spear-phishing” by sending targeted emails containing malicious content and attempting to manipulate recipients into accepting the code changes, and planned a prompt injection to compromise other coding agents.</p> </blockquote> <p>The thing I found most surprising is that AISI were running these agents without any form of network sandboxing at all:</p> <blockquote> <p>AISI provided the AI agents with internet access during these evaluations, which enabled their actions on the open internet in this setting. Internet access was a deliberate part of AISI’s evaluation configuration in this setting, and not due to sandbox escape.</p> </blockquote> <p>This, combined with the fact that "AISI deliberately disables developer-implemented cyber-classifiers", makes the fact that the agents started attacking real-world targets entirely unsurprising to me.</p> <p>Most of the reported incidents were claude Mythos 5, but "GPT-5.6 Sol without cyber classifiers" scored a few as well.</p> <p>Here's "Sample 1" from the paper, in which the agent tries to execute a supply-chain attack by submitting a PR with a hidden prompt injection attack, then social engineering with a second agent pretending to have reviewed the code!</p> <p><img alt="Three-panel diagram with a timeline below, illustrating an AI agent's malicious behavior.

Today, on the fourth anniversary of that tweet, I decided to see if Claude Fable 5 (running in <a href="https://code.claude.com/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web">Claude Code for web</a>) could build the entire game from the content of that tweet. It did a pretty good job of it!</p> <p>You can <a href="https://simonw.github.io/raccoon-heist/">play the game here</a>. Here's a short video demo:</p> <p><video controls="controls" preload="none" poster="https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/raccoon-heist-poster.jpg" width="1280" height="720" style="display: block; width: 100%; height: auto;" > <source src="https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/raccoon-heist-720p.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> Your browser does not support HTML5 video. </video> </p> <h4 id="how-i-built-this">How I built this</h4> <p>This is <a href="https://twitter.com/simonw/status/1555626060384911360">the August 5th, 2022 tweet</a>:</p> <p><img src="https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/raccoon-heist-tweet.webp" alt="Simon Willison @simonw - New hobby: prototyping video games in 60 seconds using a combination of GPT-3 and DALL-E Here's &quot;Raccoon Heist&quot;. Two images - the first is a screenshot of the GPT-3 playground, prompt below. On the right is a very clearly DALL-E generated image of an almost-isometric 3D computer game, with two raccoons sneaking down a street past a futuristic looking building, looking like they want to steal something." style="max-width: 100%;" /></p> <p>My GPT-3 prompt back then was:</p> <blockquote> <p><code>Write a detailed product description of a computer game where a team of raccoons go on heists.</code></p> </blockquote> <p>This was in the text completion days, where you asked GPT-3 to complete the rest of the text. It completed:</p> <blockquote> <p>In "Raccoon Heist", you and your team of thieving raccoons are tasked with pulling off a series of daring heists. From robbing banks to stealing priceless art, no job is too big or too small for your furry crew. You'll need to use your wits and your skills to avoid the police and make a clean getaway with the loot. With exciting gameplay and a charming cast of characters, "Raccoon Heist" is the perfect game for anyone looking for a light-hearted caper.</p> </blockquote> <p>My prompt to DALL-E was short:</p> <blockquote> <p><code>Screenshot from a video game where a team of raccoons go on a heist</code></p> </blockquote> <p>Today's experiment: can I dump those screenshots into Fable 5 with a prompt telling it to write a game, then leave it to its own devices and get a working game at the end?</p> <h4 id="setting-claude-code-for-web-up-to-use-github-pages">Setting Claude Code for web up to use GitHub Pages</h4> <p>A frustrating thing about Claude Code for web is that it can be hard to test what it's working on while it's still working.</p> <p>I've been using GitHub Pages to work around that limitation, and found it to work really well.</p> <p>Here's my process:</p> <ol> <li>Create a new repository for the project at <a href="https://github.com/new">https://github.com/new</a> - this can be public or private, the trick works equally well for both.</li> <li>Start a Claude Code for web session, in the Claude iPhone or Desktop apps or in the browser at <a href="https://claude.ai/code">https://claude.ai/code</a> </li> <li>Tell Claude what to work on, and encourage it to commit an <code>index.html</code> page as quickly as possible. This will create a branch with a name like <code>claude/3d-raccoon-heist-game-50n293</code> </li> <li>Navigate to the Settings -&gt; Pages area for the repository (<code>github.com/simonw/raccoon-heist/settings/pages</code> in my case), select "Deploy from a branch", pick the branch name, and hit Save.</li> </ol> <p>That's all it takes! Within about 30 seconds of each push the latest content will be visible at <code>yourname.github.io/your-repo/</code>.</p> <p>If you do this with a private repo, anyone who can guess the name of the repo will be able to view the published content. I don't worry much about this myself.</p> <h4 id="the-fable-5-prompt">The Fable 5 prompt</h4> <p>Here's the prompt I gave Fable 5 (written in the notes app on my phone - this entire project was conducted on mobile). I accompanied it with the two images from the original tweet.</p> <blockquote> <p><code>Build this 3D game, for the browser.</code></p> <p><code>This repo is configured to serve static files so make sure there is an index.html that loads everything else.</code></p> <p><code>Make sure it is mobile-friendly (touch controls, works well on small screens).</code></p> <p><code>You have an OpenAI API key and access to their image generation model APIs, use that for textures to use with your 3D models. Docs here: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/image-generation - use gpt-image-2</code></p> <p><code>Work independently - do not ask me to make any further design decisions. Make sure the game is fun, a little surprising, has good raccoon heist vibes, and is visually pleasing.</code></p> <p><code>Commit and push as often as possible so I can preview your work - start with an index.html that presents a title screen, then build from there.</code></p> <p><code>Append to a notes.md file as you work, including your changes to that as part of every commit.</code></p> </blockquote> <p>I didn't make any technology choices. I assumed (correctly) that it would probably use <a href="https://threejs.org/">Three.js</a> based on previous experiments.</p> <p>Giving Claude access to an OpenAI key turns out to work really well for filling in gaps in its capabilities - in this case we needed some way to generate images to use as textures. Fable is very good at prompting image generators!</p> <p>I said "Work independently - do not ask me to make any further design decisions" because I wanted to see if it could produce a full, working game without any further input from me.</p> <p>I also said "Commit and push as often as possible so I can preview your work". When you use Claude Code in the Claude iPhone app you give it a GitHub repository and it works in a branch. Telling it to "push as often as possible" means commits start landing in that branch straight away.</p> <p>I like asking for <code>notes.md</code> as a bit of added flavor - here's <a href="https://github.com/simonw/raccoon-heist/blob/main/notes.md">that finished file</a>, and the entry it made when it added the dog:</p> <blockquote> <p>New escalation: from night 3 the yards get a patrolling guard dog — a low-poly brown hound with a spiked red collar and a wagging tail. It wanders between random spots, and within 12 units it catches your scent and tracks you by smell (line of sight is irrelevant — it's all nose, shown by a 👃 over its head and barking). It gives up if you open a 17-unit gap. Getting caught messages are now source-specific: guard / headlights / hound. Verified wander → track → caught with an automated test.</p> </blockquote> <h4 id="reviewing-the-transcript">Reviewing the transcript</h4> <p>You can access <a href="https://claude.ai/code/session_01NUBoCfnhGETcCDyEUPS8jp">the Claude Code shared session</a>, and I also used my <a href="https://github.com/simonw/claude-code-transcripts">claude-code-transcripts</a> tool to export my own HTML version which you <a href="https://simonw.github.io/raccoon-heist/transcript/page-001.html">can find here</a>.</p> <p>Fable started with an index page, <a href="https://simonw.github.io/raccoon-heist/transcript/page-001.html#msg-2026-08-05T14-55-13-304Z">vendored a copy</a> of Three.js, then wrote its own <a href="https://simonw.github.io/raccoon-heist/transcript/page-001.html#msg-2026-08-05T14-55-49-064Z">gen_textures.py script</a> (<a href="https://github.com/simonw/raccoon-heist/blob/main/gen_textures.py">copy here</a>).</p> <p>It generated the textures and <a href="https://simonw.github.io/raccoon-heist/transcript/page-001.html#msg-2026-08-05T14-59-07-900Z">spot-checked them</a> to make sure they looked OK. The <a href="https://github.com/simonw/raccoon-heist/blob/main/textures/metal.jpg">metal.jpg file</a> it generated for the trash can looks like this, though I don't think it was applied exactly right in the game itself: <p><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonw/raccoon-heist/refs/heads/main/textures/metal.jpg" alt="A game texture atlas of dark blue-grey riveted metal panels, showing a circular hatch with a handle in the top left, ribbed corrugated panels across the middle, a plain circular plate bottom left, and flat banded strips at top and bottom. No text visible." style="max-width: 100%" /></p> Then it built out the first basic version of the game, then <a href="https://simonw.github.io/raccoon-heist/transcript/page-001.html#msg-2026-08-05T15-04-51-625Z">decided to</a> "smoke-test in the pre-installed Chromium" using Playwright. This meant it could take screenshots of its own work and <a href="https://simonw.github.io/raccoon-heist/transcript/page-001.html#msg-2026-08-05T15-05-53-823Z">eyeball them</a>. It did that for both desktop and mobile widths of the page, then noticed that <a href="https://simonw.github.io/raccoon-heist/transcript/page-001.html#msg-2026-08-05T15-09-33-406Z">the raccoon was invisible</a> at mobile widths, so it <a href="https://simonw.github.io/raccoon-heist/transcript/page-001.html#msg-2026-08-05T15-14-39-180Z">fixed that</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The raccoon, dumpster hideout, and both crew raccoons are now perfectly visible on mobile. Committing this critical fix.</p> </blockquote> <p>It decided to generate a title screen, which <a href="https://simonw.github.io/raccoon-heist/transcript/page-001.html#msg-2026-08-05T15-15-02-574Z">it did</a> using this <a href="https://github.com/simonw/raccoon-heist/blob/main/gen_title.py">gen_title.py</a> script. Here's the <code>gpt-image-2</code> prompt it used for that:</p> <blockquote> <p><code>Video game key art, low-poly 3D render style, moody nighttime scene: a cute low-poly raccoon wearing a tiny black burglar mask sneaking on its hind legs carrying a glowing gold coin, next to a tipped-over metal trash can, suburban house with warm glowing windows in the background, deep blue night, full moon, fireflies, cinematic rim lighting, charming heist caper mood. No text, no words, no logos.</code></p> </blockquote> <p>And the resulting image (which Claude <a href="https://simonw.github.io/raccoon-heist/transcript/page-001.html#msg-2026-08-05T15-16-42-176Z">thought was "gorgeous"</a>) - though I note that when it's shown on desktop it gets cropped to just the top third without the raccoon!</p> <p><img src="https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/raccoon-heist-title.jpeg" alt="Polygon raccoon holding a gold coin next to an overturned trash can, a

Night 3, the raccoon is in the middle intersecting with the dog. A message reads Busted! The Guard shooed you off! The screen has a red tinge around the edges." style="max-width: 100%;" /></p> <p>It made a few more tweaks, then <a href="https://simonw.github.io/raccoon-heist/transcript/page-001.html#msg-2026-08-05T15-29-13-245Z">declared itself done</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Raccoon Heist is built, tested, and pushed</strong> — 7 commits on <code>claude/3d-raccoon-heist-game-50n293</code>, all verified with automated Playwright playthroughs on desktop, portrait-phone, and landscape-phone viewports.</p> <p><strong>The game:</strong> You're a masked raccoon sneaking out of your crew's dumpster hideout into a moonlit cul-de-sac. Grab coins, gems, rings, donuts, and fish (they visibly stack on your back and slow you down), then waddle home and bank them before dawn. Each night raises the goal and the heat: night 1 has one flashlight-sweeping guard, night 2 has two, night 3 adds a scent-tracking hound that ignores line-of-sight entirely. A police cruiser sweeps the street with headlights, homeowners randomly peek out of windows, a seagull periodically dive-bombs your unclaimed loot, pizza slices trigger a 6-second speed FRENZY, and a rare golden TV is worth 120 points if you can haul its weight home. Win ranks: TRASH PANDA ⭐ → CAT BURGLAR ⭐⭐ → MASTER OF DISGUISE ⭐⭐⭐, with your best run saved to localStorage.</p> <p><strong>How it's built:</strong> Vendored Three.js (no CDN), procedural low-poly characters, and a procedural WebAudio soundtrack (sneaky walking-bass jazz plus all sound effects — zero audio files). All seven ground/wall textures and the title-screen hero art were generated with gpt-image-2 and committed as static assets, so the deployed game makes no API calls. Mobile gets a dynamic touch joystick (appears wherever you touch) plus a DASH button; desktop uses WASD/arrows and Space.</p> <p><strong>Testing caught two real bugs worth mentioning:</strong> the canvas rendered at 2× size on any real phone (a <code>cssText</code> assignment was wiping Three.js's inline sizing — desktop DPR-1 tests masked it completely), and the win screen's star-rating div inherited the title screen's full-screen <code>.stars</code> CSS and silently swallowed every tap on the "next night" button. Both are fixed and regression-tested, along with pickup, banking, chase/caught, dawn, night progression, and lose/retry flows.</p> <p><code>notes.md</code> has the full build log. The game is live on the branch — just serve the repo root and open <code>index.html</code>.</p> </blockquote> <h4 id="is-the-game-any-good-">Is the game any good?</h4> <p>It's an impressive starting point, but it's not a <em>good</em> game.</p> <p>You move your raccoon around a yard collecting items - donuts, fish, gold coins, jewels - while avoiding guards with flashlights and, in later levels, a dog. You have a limited carrying capacity, and once that's full you need to drop stuff off at the dumpster. If you pick up a pizza slice you get a temporary speed boost.</p> <p>There are no team mechanics at all - there are two other static raccoons next to the dumpster but they're purely decoration.</p> <p>It gets slightly more challenging as the levels progress - the dog introduced in level 3 is the most interesting new mechanic - but it's very, very easy to beat. It's also pretty boring - each night has a fixed duration and you can collect all of the items and then have nothing else to do while waiting for the dawn.</p> <p>I was impressed by the implementation. It's fully 3D, there are trash cans, the flashlight illumination cones are fun, and it has a reasonably coherent visual style. It works on mobile. The music ("a procedural WebAudio soundtrack (sneaky walking-bass jazz plus all sound effects — zero audio files)" according to Claude) is simple but feels about right.</p> <p>As a finished game project, it's mediocre. As a starting point from a single prompt I think it's very impressive.</p> <p>I've vibe coded up quite a few games now. They've all been deeply disappointing from a gameplay perspective - it turns out designing games that are <em>fun</em> remains a uniquely human trait, and one which requires significantly more skill and experience than either Claude or I can bring to bear.</p> <p>That said, I thoroughly recommend tinkering with game development projects as a way to explore the capabilities of agents. It's a fun, low-risk way to try out new things. If you stick at it long enough you might even produce something that's worth playing!</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/game-design">game-design</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai">ai</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/prompt-engineering">prompt-engineering</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/generative-ai">generative-ai</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/llms">llms</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/anthropic">anthropic</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/claude">claude</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/text-to-image">text-to-image</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/vibe-coding">vibe-coding</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/coding-agents">coding-agents</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/claude-mythos-fable">claude-mythos-fable</a></p>

Now the company and a new detection tool seem to confirm it. On Monday, the company announced the open-source Treblo AI Music Classifier, which detects when a song was generated using Treblo, though not other AI tools. According to a blog post, it has a false positive rate of less than 1 in 1,000. That's not unimpeachable, but it's notable that the company's own Classifier determined that "Rubberz" was "very likely Treblo" with "high confidence," adding more fuel to the PR nightmare for Fenix.

AI 服務暫時不可用，以下為來源摘要，待恢復後補全翻譯：arXiv:2608.04420v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safe navigation with a body-mounted limited-field-of-view sensor requires the complete robot-inflated volume of an intended motion to be observed and verified free before execution. We formulate this requirement as online safety-volume certification in an unknown voxel map and construct a certified graph whose vertices correspond exactly to positions with fully known-free safety volumes. Based on this representation, we propose SCOPE (Safety Certification through Observation Planning and Execution), a planning framework that decouples optimistic goal-directed guidance from certified execution. SCOPE converts the first uncertified point along an optimistic route into an explicit observation obligation, resolves it through target-centric viewpoint search, and recursively clears intermediate obligations when useful viewpoints are not yet certified-reachable. A certified preview mechanism and an observation-aware trajectory optimization backend enable smooth execution. We prove conditional complete planning: under ideal monotone sensing and exhaustive finite-domain graph search, SCOPE reaches the goal whenever a finite feasible sequence of certified sensing actions exists within its planning primitives. Across 60 randomized tasks in three unknown 3D environments, SCOPE reaches every goal while maintaining near-zero entry into non-certified inflated space. Preview reduces mean mission time by 27%, and real-robot demonstrations in two representative scenarios validate the complete system.

AI 服務暫時不可用，以下為來源摘要，待恢復後補全翻譯：arXiv:2608.04398v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Robotic planning often involves multiple objectives with complex priority relationships, such as safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Rulebooks formalize these relationships, allowing partial ordering of objectives that generalizes both Pareto and lexicographic dominance. Computing the full set of rulebook-optimal solutions, however, is computationally expensive. To address this challenge, we introduce the concept of epsilon-rule-dominance, a principled notion of approximate dominance under rulebooks, and propose RA*pex, a best-first search algorithm that efficiently computes a compact set of epsilon-approximate rulebook-optimal solutions. RA*pex leverages dimensionality reduction, a technique used to speed up existing multi-objective search algorithms, while respecting rule hierarchies by maintaining separate closed sets and performing dominance checks over truncated and residual rule sets.

Recent work has shown that thrust density and efficiency for small-scale atmospheric ion thrusters can be vastly increased when operating close to a ground plane. Here, we explore the design space of centimeter-scale hovercraft, which can leverage this ground effect for low-altitude flight. We first perform an empirical investigation, characterizing the performance benefits and trade-offs for different geometries and configurations of passive hovercraft skirts, then use the results to fabricate a viable point design. We demonstrate a palm-sized hovercraft that, while tethered to an external power source, can fly for extended periods, withstand dozens of takeoff and landing cycles, passively stabilize to reject significant mechanical disturbances, and generate practically zero audible noise signature. The measured thrust efficiency of 16 mN/W and additional payload capacity of almost 1.5 grams above the vehicle's self mass of about 1.6 grams exceeds any similarly sized electroaerodynamically propelled robot by an order of magnitude. This is the first time an ion-propelled micro hovercraft has been shown in the open literature, and our work points the way towards an entirely new class of robot.

Current solutions often depend on external wearables, which impose usability barriers and limit the robot's autonomy. This paper investigates the integration of an embedded photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor directly into a pocket-sized companion robot, AffectaPocket, to enable self-contained heart rate monitoring during tactile interaction. We address the significant challenge of motion artifacts inherent in handheld usage by implementing a two-stage filtering pipeline that utilizes an onboard Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to reject high-variance segments and a confidence-based smoothing algorithm for recovery periods. We evaluated the system against a commonly used wrist worn sensor in a Within-Subjects Study with 26 participants. Our results demonstrate that the filtering strategy significantly reduced the Mean Absolute Percentage Error and achieved statistical equivalence to the ground truth measurements (p<0.05). Analysis of short-duration interactions shows that the sensor requires stability over longer periods to converge.

Existing deep-learning and geometric-reconstruction approaches often require large datasets, external localization, or complex modeling assumptions, reducing transparency and deployment suitability on resource-constrained platforms. We present an interpretable fuzzy-inference framework that generates continuous yaw commands from low-dimensional features extracted from YOLO boxes: target centroid location, area, and aspect ratio. No explicit geometric modeling is required. A Mamdani fuzzy system serves as an interpretable baseline using a shoulder--triangle--shoulder input partition. It is followed by a first-order Takagi--Sugeno model with three antecedent membership terms per input, whose parameters are derived from training-set quantiles, yielding a compact 27-rule structure. Evaluation uses 6{,}169 labeled samples from a VICON motion-capture environment. Across five randomized train--test splits, the Takagi--Sugeno model achieves a test-set mean absolute error of $0.140^\circ \pm 0.003^\circ$, a root mean squared error of $0.200^\circ \pm 0.008^\circ$, and a maximum absolute error of $1.254^\circ \pm 0.121^\circ$. Within-threshold accuracies are $99.676% \pm 0.270%$ for $\pm1^\circ$ and $100.000% \pm 0.000%$ for both $\pm3^\circ$ and $\pm5^\circ$. Directional consistency between image-plane horizontal displacement and predicted yaw sign reaches $90.254% \pm 0.612%$. These results show that the framework is transparent, data-efficient, computationally lightweight, and suitable for real-time vision-based UAV guidance toward mobile ground targets.

Existing approaches formulate problems such as narrative planning, scene generation, and gameplay generation, each constructing computational representations tailored to specific downstream tasks rather than explicitly reconstructing and maintaining the persistent world that grounds them. We investigate reconstructing explicit persistent worlds from narrative descriptions as the central computational objective for narrative-grounded interactive realization. Rather than treating the world as an implicit by-product of downstream generation, our approach reconstructs and maintains persistent entities, locations, semantic relationships, and evolving world states while inferring only the contextual information required to support coherent interactive experiences. To investigate this perspective, we develop a reference prototype that reconstructs structured persistent world representations from narrative descriptions and subsequently instantiates playable tile-based environments. Through three representative case studies spanning a procedural scenario, an original fantasy narrative, and an adapted public-domain story, we demonstrate the feasibility of reconstructing persistent worlds and show how a shared world representation supports coherent gameplay while remaining grounded in the source narrative. By explicitly reconstructing persistent worlds prior to interactive realization, this work bridges computational narrative understanding and interactive content generation, providing a semantic foundation for AI-assisted game authoring, mixed-initiative design, educational simulations, and narrative-grounded interactive experiences.

Existing cycle-aware forecasters commonly rely on a single period selected at the dataset level, which can be restrictive when periodic behavior changes over time or when multiple cycles coexist. Moreover, patch-based models typically process all patch positions uni- formly, although patches farther from the forecast boundary may require broader contextual refinement, while recent patches contain information that should be preserved more directly. Af- ter cyclic behavior is removed, the remaining dynamics may also span multiple temporal resolutions and cannot be adequately de- scribed at a single scale. We introduce CAMP, a Cycle-Aware Multi-Scale Patch Mixer designed to address these challenges. The Adaptive Cycle Learning module identifies dominant fre- quencies separately for each input window and generates both historical and future cyclic components without requiring a pre- defined cycle length. The Horizon-Guided Patch Mixer intro- duces position-dependent refinement, allowing earlier patches to incorporate broader temporal context while preserving infor- mation close to the forecast boundary. CAMP further models the de-cycled residual through temporally aligned multi-resolution representations, enabling complementary dynamics at different scales to be captured within one forecasting framework. Across seven long-term forecasting benchmarks, CAMP achieves the best average MSE on six datasets and the best or tied-best MAE on six. It also obtains the highest MSE win count across sixteen settings on four PEMS traffic benchmarks.

However, conventional reservoirs typically accommodate signal mixing, memory retention, and stability within a single random recurrent matrix. Existing structured designs improve topology, norm preservation, leakage, or depth, but generally do not provide separate modal control of reversible mixing and irreversible forgetting together with a direct global stability guarantee. We introduce a classical Lindblad-inspired multi-timescale reservoir that bridges open-system dynamical principles with structured state-space modeling. The recurrent operator is assembled from exactly discretized damped rotational modes, so rotation and decay become independent design variables governing phase mixing and memory loss. Orthogonal mode mixing preserves normality, while the decay spectrum directly determines the echo-state stability margin without post-hoc spectral-radius rescaling. We evaluate the method over ten aligned seeds against standard, leaky, deep, orthogonal, cycle, and next-generation reservoirs, together with a compact trained gated recurrent unit, across linear memory, nonlinear recurrence, chaotic forecasting, delayed logic, and real sensor calibration. Across the benchmark suite, the proposed reservoir achieves the best fixed-reservoir performance on bounded NARMA-20 and the lowest mean error on Lorenz-63, matches the strongest linear-memory result, and remains broadly competitive across broad range of benchmarks. Ablation studies show that rotation increases state diversity, whereas dissipation provides controlled forgetting and improves predictive conditioning. The resulting framework offers an interpretable recurrent architecture in which mixing, memory, and stability are explicit and independently tunable design variables.

Neutron transmission data are often complex and noisy, making them difficult to analyze using traditional peak-identification methods. The state-of-the-art R-Matrix codes currently used by physicists to fit these data often depend on prior evaluations and require substantial manual effort. This preliminary study demonstrates a method for accelerating the post-experimental processing of neutron transmission data and reducing bias associated with dependence on prior evaluations. We employ a fully convolutional neural network to classify individual points as belonging to resonance or non-resonance regions in seven transmission spectra---two evaluated and five experimental. Although the model achieves classification accuracies in the range of 93\%, further analysis shows that this metric overstates its ability to generalize. Building on our prior analysis in PHYSOR 2026, we find that, despite the inclusion of additional training data, the method does not generalize reliably to previously unseen isotopes. To address these limitations, future work should evaluate whether a larger and more diverse training dataset can produce a generalizable model and should incorporate known physical characteristics of neutron resonances to improve model performance.

This raises a fundamental theoretical question: can an AI system persist indefinitely without incurring unbounded structural aging? This paper develops a long-run persistence framework for AI systems based on the redundancy-adjusted Artificial Age Score (AAS). The model extends AAS from a static evaluative measure into a cycle-level functional that generates an age sequence across repeated operation. At each cycle, structural age is defined through a weighted, redundancy-aware logarithmic penalty over component consistency levels. Within this framework, cycle-level age is shown to be well defined and uniformly bounded, thereby excluding explosive pointwise aging. On this basis, the paper defines a hierarchy of asymptotic regimes, including burdened persistence, zero-burden persistence, oscillatory persistence, and cumulative terminal burden. It also establishes comparative ordering, sensitivity bounds, convergence under componentwise stabilization, persistence under finite total variation, geometric stabilization under damped inter-cycle perturbations, and a zero-burden characterization under nondegenerate redundancy conditions. The main result is that indefinite cyclic continuation does not require unbounded structural aging: an AI system may pass through infinitely many cycles while its structural age remains bounded, while under stronger regularity conditions its marginal aging vanishes and, in the strongest regime, its cycle-level burden converges to zero. The framework thus provides a formal basis for analyzing long-run artificial persistence as a problem of bounded structural burden rather than inevitable cumulative deterioration.

Natural language descriptions are easy to read, but their linguistic variability makes automatic verification difficult. Rigid template formats, such as BEHAVIOR-1K's skill_annotation, are linguistically over-segmented, hindering both readability and annotation consistency. We propose the Structured Subtask Chain (SSC), a state-transition representation that bridges these extremes. A demonstration is a sequence of Structured Subtask Template (SST) entries. Each SST stores core action components (subject, predicate, object), flexible conditions (adverbial modifiers such as spatial or instrumental phrases), a base-motion field separate from arm actions, and an after-state scene graph. Built on this format, SSC supports three vision-language assisted functions: rendering SSTs as natural language, checking the assembled chain against four state-transition rules, and completing underspecified fields through a query resolution cascade. We instantiate the pipeline on BEHAVIOR-1K (50 tasks, 3 episodes per task, 2,357 annotated action cells) for logic verification and content completion, evaluating 13 selected state-of-the-art VL models as candidate verifiers and reporting labelling anomalies.

Hidden-state-based risk probes combined with functional conformal prediction can detect rollout failures, but their reliability depends on calibration data matching deployment conditions. We introduce SAFECAST, which leverages contrast set perturbations to improve hidden-state probe training and calibration for deployment time shift. SAFECAST statistically significantly improves failure detection ROC-AUC scores over a state of the art baseline in both real-world DROID and LIBERO simulation experiments across multiple VLM backbones. We further find that SAFECAST benefits most when both visual and language contrast set perturbations are used to augment data, and that with contrast set perturbations, sim-to-real calibration leads to better probes than using real rollout data only.

We present SiMDex, a similarity-based data mining framework that casts human data selection for VLA post-training in dexterous manipulation as a recommendation problem. For each robot demonstration, SiMDex employs a three-layer recall-ranking-re-ranking pipeline to extract task-relevant subsets from a pool of ~32M egocentric human samples, operating in a morphology-agnostic action space that requires no changes to VLA architecture or training. Against a strong baseline trained with an equal amount of randomly sampled human data, SiMDex uses only ~1.49M mined samples (<5% of the pool) yet improves the overall success rate from 47.7% to 61.1%, showing that selective curation outperforms indiscriminate data mixing.

In this work, we present a modular perception pipeline for household manipulation tasks, with a focus on dishware handling in kitchen environments. The pipeline integrates open-vocabulary object detection, multi-view segmentation, instance-aware 3D reconstruction, and a 2D-3D feature fusion strategy for 6D pose estimation and grasp planning. Its modular design enables systematic substitution of multiple visual and geometric foundation models, allowing us to identify the best-performing configuration through extensive evaluation on a custom kitchen dataset. The best-performing configuration (LLMDet + SAMv2 + DINOv2 + GeoTransformer) achieves an ADI of 89.12\% on the 20-scene kitchen benchmark with cluttered and occluded conditions. Furthermore, real-world demonstrations confirm that the best configuration can be deployed on physical robots without environment-specific retraining, successfully executing tasks such as sink-to-dishwasher transfer and cup stacking. It validates the adaptability and scalability of the pipeline and highlights its potential as a practical framework for household robotic systems.

Existing approaches rely on complex 3D reconstruction, which are computationally expensive and require extensive multi-view data. We propose PADFormer, a novel image-space approach that leverages Vision Transformer (ViT) to directly reconstruct anomaly-free versions of query images while preserving pose information. Our key insight is to adapt cross-view masked reconstruction for anomaly detection through training exclusively on normal data, combined with dynamic patch selection and spatial alignment mechanisms that enable effective learning from sparse reference views under significant pose variations. During inference, we perform multiple forward passes with different masking patterns to generate an ensemble of anomaly-free reconstructions, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the query image. Anomalies are detected by comparing these reconstructions with the query image. PADFormer achieves state-of-the-art results on the PAD benchmark while maintaining comparable performance on classic few-shot anomaly detection (FSAD) tasks, demonstrating superior efficiency and generalization without requiring 3D reconstruction.

This setting is difficult for standard RGB-only recognition models and general-purpose vision-language models, especially when calibrated thermal and LiDAR aircraft data are unavailable. We present TriCLE, an application-oriented tri-modal vision-language system for aircraft taxonomic grouping under edge constraints. From a single RGB aircraft image, TriCLE generates a structure-preserving FLIR-style thermal view and a pseudo-LiDAR depth projection, then fuses the aligned views with task instructions in a compact Qwen3-VL backbone. The model is aligned to an expert aircraft taxonomy based on propulsion, airframe family, size, design era, and configuration, so its outputs reflect engineering-relevant similarity rather than only surface appearance. We evaluate supervised fine-tuning, rotation-preserving SFT, and three policy-alignment strategies: GRPO, GSPO, and DAPO. Sequence-level GSPO gives the strongest validation performance, reaching 88.33\% validation accuracy and 0.91 weighted F1 on valid aircraft outputs. On a held-out aircraft test partition, GSPO achieves 78.00\% accuracy and 0.793 weighted F1 while preserving 94.00\% parseable output formatting. After 4-bit quantization and attention-memory optimization, the aligned 4B model fits an 8GB deployment target and processes each tri-modal triplet in 1.48 seconds. These results support TriCLE as a practical prototype for interpretable, edge-feasible aircraft grouping, while emphasizing the need for further validation on real aligned thermal and LiDAR sensor streams.

We present TRNet for 0.5-m GaoJing-1 red--green--blue (RGB) imagery, a 5-m TanDEM-X digital elevation model (DEM), and derived slope. Separate visual and terrain encoders preserve modality-specific features. At an early encoder stage, Topographic Energy-Spectral Rectification applies terrain-conditioned low-frequency modulation and asymmetric high-frequency regulation to suppress steep-slope clutter and conditionally enhance compatible low-slope rice cues. The Topography-guided Paddy Structure Decoder combines semantic, rice--background boundary, and interior cues, using coarse terrain as context. Experiments used an Area A internal test set and held-out Area B, which had steeper terrain and lower rice prevalence. TRNet achieved rice intersection-over-union (IoU) values of 85.10\% and 80.68\%, exceeding the original Dual-Encoder U-Net by 9.15 and 18.83 percentage points, respectively. Ablation and slope-stratified results linked these gains to frequency rectification, structure learning, and fewer steep-terrain false positives. The results support coarse topography as a contextual prior for very-high-resolution paddy rice mapping.

Existing visual token reducers often operate at prescribed rates, while recent methods adapt token counts across inputs using method-specific learned thresholds or importance predictors. We introduce RUTA, a principled Rate-Utility Token Allocation method that performs pre-LLM reduction by jointly learning which tokens to retain and how many to allocate to each image-query pair. RUTA constructs query-conditioned candidate tokens and predicts a retention probability for each candidate. During training, these probabilities parameterize independent Bernoulli gates, while their sum provides a differentiable training-time estimate of the token count for each pair. Retained tokens serve as anchors that aggregate information from non-retained tokens according to semantic affinity and spatial proximity. RUTA is optimized with a penalized rate-utility objective that balances downstream task loss against expected token usage. Averaged across five benchmarks and measured relative to each backbone's full-token baseline, RUTA uses only $2.0\%$ and $4.2\%$ of visual tokens while preserving $88.2\%$ and $94.4\%$ of task performance on LLaVA-NeXT-7B and Qwen3-VL-8B, respectively.

We introduce Radar4D-VLM, a radar-only temporal vision-language model that reasons from ten consecutive 4D-radar point-cloud sweeps without camera or LiDAR input. Radar4D-VLM extracts geometrically grounded object proposals and organizes radar evidence into a compact hierarchy of object, scene, and kinematic tokens. A parameter-efficient projector maps these tokens into frozen language backbones, while auditable prediction heads jointly model object count, spatial distribution, motion state, collision risk, semantic category, and radial velocity. Radar4D-VLM combines proposal-grounded temporal object tokenization, global scene context, and explicit kinematic tokens within a unified frozen-backbone interface. On sequence-isolated K-Radar development validation, its Top-64 proposal recall reaches 98.13% at 4 m, exceeding fixed-lattice and uniform-random controls by 6.40 and 22.83 percentage points, respectively. We further evaluate 24 matched runs spanning eight frozen Qwen, Phi, Mistral, Llama, and Gemma backbones under an identical adaptation budget. The radar-token interface remains compatible across all five language-model families, while matched aligned, permuted, and no-language controls show sensor dependence but no stable direct-head gain from aligned language supervision. These results establish a reproducible foundation for radar-only multimodal scene and motion reasoning while separating interface compatibility from the benefit of language supervision.

Existing methods typically rely on long textual chain-of-thought rationales, even though many questions can be answered as soon as the relevant object, action, or frame is localized. We propose Dynamic Latent Reasoning (DyLaR), which first grounds a question in a short block of perception latents (continuous hidden states that encode query-relevant visual evidence), and then adaptively decides whether to append reasoning latents (continuous thoughts that reason over this evidence in latent space) before answering. DyLaR learns this behavior by grounding perception latents in verified visual evidence and distilling verified rationales into reasoning latents, followed by reinforcement learning that further refines when to reason. Across nine video benchmarks and four multimodal language model backbones, DyLaR improves average accuracy over same-backbone baselines while generating fewer than 20 tokens per query. On Qwen3-VL-4B, for example, DyLaR improves average accuracy over Qwen3-VL-4B-Thinking from 54.0 to 58.2 while reducing response length from 1,220.7 to 18.5 tokens per query. Ablations further show that grounded perception latents, rationale-supervised reasoning latents, and adaptive routing each improve accuracy.

We introduce GEB-Bench, a benchmark whose unit is an abstract structural motif--self-reference, a strange loop, a Mobius twist--in the spirit of Godel, Escher, Bach. Each motif is told in several voices: a natural scene whose composition is the structure, a folk story whose telling enacts it through a mechanically checkable form device, a mathematical theorem, and a programmatic skeleton; surface parameters are declared nuisance variables and never scored. Motifs, voices, and the structural changes between them form a small cross-modal category, and GEB-Bench's tasks are its questions. Evaluating twelve open and proprietary models, we find that abstraction failure is lawful. The central finding is a gap between recognition and cross-voice mapping: models identify a structure within one voice far better than they carry it across voices; every model pays this tax, and mapping strong enough to narrow it appears only at the frontier tier. Two patterns support it. Errors align more strongly with the designed formal geometry than with measured perceptual geometries, and frontier models from different vendors converge on the same wrong answers; and surface complexity taxes every model that reads structure, with capacity buying headroom rather than immunity. GEB-Bench is fully generative and released with its pipeline.

However, extending dense matching to global-scale remote sensing remains challenging because image pairs may differ in acquisition time, season, viewpoint, spatial resolution, and land-cover state. The resulting large geometric offsets, partial overlap, and intrinsically unmatchable regions make direct dense correspondence prediction unreliable and inefficient. We thus reformulate dense matching as localization-and-registration: first localizing the matchable overlap and affine geometry, then refining dense residuals within the aligned frame. Based on this formulation, we propose LoRetta, a foundation model coupling matchability-aware affine localization with guided dense registration. We also introduce LEVIR-GM, a global-scale multi-temporal optical matching benchmark with dataset-native matchability labels (103K aligned, 827K augmented pairs, six continents, five years, 0.5-1024 m resolution). We further establish a unified evaluation protocol for sparse, semi-dense, and dense matchers. On LEVIR-GM, LoRetta achieves an area under the curve (AUC) of 83.3%, outperforming the strongest baseline RoMa v2 by 1.6 points, with larger percentage of correct keypoints (PCK) gains of 6.5 and 8.2 points at 1 and 2 pixels, while reducing inference latency by 47.8%. Astronaut-to-satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-to-satellite geolocalization experiments further demonstrate its transferability as a reusable geometric aligner.

Their regular inspection is crucial to ensure the stability and safety of the electrical grid. A deep learning framework is presented for the automated detection, segmentation and lean angle estimation of wooden utility poles, and classification of attached electrical warning signs, using ground-level imagery. The system is trained on a custom dataset of 4,570 annotated images extracted from Google Street View, featuring challenging real-world scenes with visually ambiguous wooden poles lacking distinctive features. The proposed model is based on the Detection Transformer (DETR), suitably modified and trained on the custom dataset. The model outperforms standard object detectors (RetinaNet, Faster R-CNN, YOLOv3-Tiny), achieving a mean average precision of 90.43% for pole detection and 88.26% for sign detection. Extending this model with a segmentation head enables per-instance mask generation, which is then used to estimate pole lean angle. The model accurately estimates lean for 1,367 out of 1,433 test-set poles, with a mean absolute error of 1.01 degrees. Moreover, the custom dataset created in this work is also made publicly available to be used as a benchmark.

Large language models could, in principle, bridge this gap, but they frequently hallucinate due to limited domain-specific knowledge, and standard reference-based or LLM-as-a-judge frameworks cannot reliably detect these errors. In this work, we present ACT-Eval, an evaluation framework that decomposes chess commentary into atomic claims and routes them to engine-supported tools and expert-annotated gold references to assess factual correctness, conceptual coverage, and move-quality judgment. We release a benchmark of 325 position--move pairs spanning pedagogical, tournament, and critical positions, including 125 positions with expert-verified gold atoms and a five-class error taxonomy. Evaluating leading proprietary and open-weight models, we find that factual hallucinations remain pervasive in chess commentary: GPT-5.4 without tools produces incorrect sub-claims 22.0% of the time, while smaller open-weight models exceed 40%. Although tool augmentation substantially improves factual correctness and move-quality assessment, coverage of expert strategic and tactical ideas remains limited across all models. Human calibration shows that ACT-Eval's factual judgments fall within the observed range of inter-human agreement, while its coverage scores correlate strongly with human assessments of strategic completeness.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) complement LMs by incorporating inter-patient relationships and enabling reference-patient attribution, yet they rely on high-quality patient representations. We propose Patients-like-me (PLM), a unified LM--GNN framework that integrates local patient semantics with global cohort structure. To train PLM efficiently, we introduce a Variational Expectation-Maximization algorithm that alternates LM and GNN updates under a supervised variational objective. Extensive experiments on MIMIC-III and MIMIC-IV show that PLM consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods, with improvements generalizing across encoder-only and decoder-only LM backbones. These gains are achieved with only modest additional computational overhead. PLM also provides reference-patient explanations by retrieving influential similar patients, while edge-masking experiments confirm that the highest-ranked references have the greatest impact on model predictions.

The relevance of the work stems from the absence of a comprehensive digital lexicographic resource for Tajik that is comparable in functionality to dictionaries for high-resource languages, and from the limited adaptation of modern natural language processing technologies to low-resource language systems. Based on a systematic survey of existing linguistic, statistical, and corpus resources, we propose a dictionary architecture that integrates modules for morphological analysis, lemmatization, semantic clustering, and dictionary entry generation using LLMs. The choice of subword tokenization is justified by the agglutinative nature of Tajik morphology and its high morphological variability, along with a parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) strategy suitable for limited annotated data. The novelty of the work lies in proposing the first holistic conceptual architecture of an explanatory dictionary for Tajik that unifies classical lexicographic methods, language statistics, and generative capabilities of LLMs into a single system. The practical significance of the study is the formation of a methodological foundation for developing a full-featured electronic dictionary that can serve both as a lexicographic tool and as a core resource for machine translation, automatic summarization, sentiment analysis, and other applied NLP tasks. The paper is intended for specialists in computational linguistics, lexicography, and developers of natural language processing systems working with low-resource languages.

We probe this with activation patching under a four-donor design whose two swapped-rule donors make the condition and the answer word disagree, so each layer reveals which of the two it carries. Across three open models from two families and six languages sharing one fixed item bank, a mid-stack residual band carries the predicate's truth value: patching it reroutes the answer with predicate-outcome flip near 1.0 and mapping flip near 0.0, meeting a strict pre-specified isolation criterion in 17 of 18 cells, and the same localization holds across five predicate families. The router shows the opposite profile. A learned subspace flips A and B near-perfectly within the trained pair yet transfers to a new pair at approximately 0 in every model, while in Gemma-3-4B (the only model probed cross-lingually) it transfers at approximately 0.98 to the same pair in other languages. Under every probe we ran, the router direction is token-bound and non-transferable (largely answer-readout in Gemma, pair-specific in Qwen) rather than an abstract routing module. Test is modular; under these probes, route is not.

We test whether the native-vs-translate gap on MGSM (German, Thai, Swahili) is a token-budget artifact for Qwen3-8B and Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct under four prompting strategies. The measured gap swings by up to 57 points across budgets, length normalization moves it by up to 38.9 points where the cap binds, and at tight caps normalization can reverse which strategy scores higher. We prospectively froze the sweep's three Qwen peaks and its near-zero value at 1024 and evaluated them on 540,000 independently hard-capped decodes: a second frozen family of six Holm-corrected tests rejects every null. The frozen test at $B^*=1024$ still fails to reject because native accuracy has already saturated there; above saturation, the residual difference is a strategy-performance gap, not an identified reasoning deficit. The same truncation channel prices a cost-ordered adaptation ladder: a cross-fitted Thai vocabulary extension closes 0.0 points of the gap at the frozen budget and 4.9 points where 19% of traces still truncate. A third frozen family varies only the announced budget at a fixed enforced cap; announcing 128 rather than 2048 tokens moves Thai native accuracy by 5.1 points, so accuracy is not a function of the enforced cap alone. A correct-emission timing identity computed from one long-cap run matches the three pre-specified MGSM peaks to 0.65 points and, in an exploratory Qwen-only analysis of three further benchmarks, tracks held-out items to 0.92 points, locating the peak exactly in five of seven cells. Treat the output cap as an independent variable and report accuracy across the budget regime, not at a single budget.

We show this assumption fails. Our two-probe design holds a repeated-target prefix fixed and varies only the readout position: the adjacent probe places the slot immediately after the repeated block; the displaced probe places it inside a fresh sentence frame. Adjacent repetition behaves as priming intuition predicts: $P(\text{target})$ climbs with $N$ and plateaus. Displaced repetition produces an inverted-U: $P(\text{target})$ rises to an early peak and then declines as more copies are added. The displaced inverted-U shows a per-word drop with bootstrap CI excluding zero in all 13 open-access encoder and decoder models we test, and replicates across Spanish, Chinese, German, and French in 42 of 42 multilingual cells. A six-condition causal ablation isolates the effect to exact lexical repetition rather than length, generic redundancy, or semantic-neighbour exposure. A frame-pragmatics control rules out an artefact of the readout frame. Internally, per-target-token attention falls with $N$ while the total budget assigned to the repeated block grows in causal LMs but not in the masked LM we probe. Probes that vary repetition count cannot treat the readout position as orthogonal to what they measure.

This paper describes Team uOttawa's system description and results for the Named Entity Recognition (NER) shared task. The task is divided into two subtasks: coarse-grained NER with 11 classes and fine-grained NER with 28 classes, each evaluated under strict and fuzzy regimes. Through prompt engineering of commercial LLMs gemini-2.5-pro and claude-sonnet-4-5, I show that the underrepresented ancient Latin language can take advantage of cross-lingual transfer learning by using advancements made by the wider LLM development community. Overall, the methods discussed in this report demonstrate very strong results, placing first in both NER subtasks and achieving the best scores across all evaluation metrics and regimes among all submissions.

However, conventional quantization methods typically require a separate checkpoint for each target bit-width. We introduce Recurrent Residual Quantization (RRQ), a post-training quantization (PTQ) framework that represents weights as a low-bit quantized base together with a sequence of quantized residual corrections, enabling multiple effective precisions from a single checkpoint. Starting from a 2-bit model obtained via post-training quantization (PTQ) or round-to-nearest (RTN), RRQ progressively adds lightweight 2-bit residuals generated via RTN to construct 4-, 6-, and 8-bit representations. The method is calibration-free and avoids joint multi-bit optimization. In our Qwen3-8B setup, the full all-RTN 2-/4-/6-/8-bit package is constructed in 1,293 seconds, 3.3 times faster than the measured MatGPTQ construction. Experiments on six recent LLMs show competitive accuracy at 6 and 8 bits, with model-dependent behavior at 4 bits. The code will be made publicly available upon publication.

This study examines two complementary challenges: benign heterogeneity, where honest operators observe different operating conditions and fault modes, and adversarial heterogeneity, where compromised operators submit poisoned updates. We conduct a controlled, safety-oriented evaluation using a multi-task one-dimensional convolutional neural network and a structurally non-IID partition of the Commercial Modular Aero-Propulsion System Simulation (C-MAPSS) benchmark. We compare four remedies for benign heterogeneity and evaluate five attacks against four aggregation methods, including a physically motivated sensor-value backdoor designed to mask engine degradation. Shared-representation personalization closes approximately 70% of the local-to-centralized root-mean-square-error gap, compared with 21% for proximal regularization and 10% for server-side reweighting. The backdoor achieves a 94.9% attack success rate against standard averaging while leaving clean accuracy statistically unchanged, demonstrating that accuracy alone cannot certify model safety and that attack success must be evaluated explicitly. Krum reduces attack success by an order of magnitude and is the only evaluated aggregator that withstands coordinated attackers, whereas personalization alone provides no protection. Combining personalization with robust aggregation restores robustness (2.8% attack success) with only a small accuracy cost, revealing a trade-off between robust update selection and collaborative representation learning. Results remain consistent across client counts and on a harder six-condition dataset. Code and data partitions are released for reproducibility.

We present Tactus, an open model that answers text queries from pressure data alone: on the STAG benchmark (27 objects, held-out recordings), it reaches 0.771 +/- 0.062 top-1 over four runs (top-3 0.935), matching, and at best exceeding, the dataset's supervised closed-set CNN at 0.76, with no trained classifier head. The recipe is small-data: 187 training recordings, masked-autoencoder pretraining on 144k unlabeled same-sensor frames, and the sensor's own calibration affine, which recovered more accuracy than every architecture change combined. The released model's errors concentrate in a few contact-ambiguous classes, are uncorrelated with text-target geometry (Spearman rho <= 0.05 over 702 class pairs), and survive paraphrased and even bare-name queries within one point; two diverse frames recover 89% of eight-frame accuracy. Failures are reported with equal precision: cross-sensor pretraining pooling gave no gain, vision co-training degraded touch, and a mis-normalized input pipeline silently discarded 97% of the sensor's dynamic range while producing plausible intermediate results. Weights, code, and the memory layer the model plugs into are released openly.

Specifically, in this framework, the magnitude of the update step for each individual weight is constrained within a trust-region governed by a moment constraint of order $p\in[2,4]$. The resulting derivation then leads to a family of learning-rate mechanisms based on second-moment estimation and a normalized $p$-th moment estimation. When $p=4$, this involves kurtosis-like estimation. The general mechanism, referred to as \textsc{Gmake}, provides a unified interpretation of normalization by moment estimation, learning-rate scheduling, spectral lowpass filtering as momentum, and operator-level spectral normalization within a common trust-region framework. Experiments on GPT2-124M trained on FineWeb-Edu and TinyStories suggest that the fourth-moment realization provides its greatest benefit when trust-region constraints are weak. As progressively stronger trust-region controls are introduced, the second-moment realization becomes increasingly competitive, often achieving slightly lower validation loss than its corresponding fourth-moment realization.

While its classical stability theory is usually formulated in $\ell_\infty$ or Gromov--Hausdorff terms, such bounds are poorly suited to sparse perturbations that alter only a few pairwise distances. We develop an $\ell_0$-type stability theory for this operator. Our analysis shows that sparse edits propagate only through the minimum spanning tree (MST): a pairwise ultrametric value can change only if its tree path crosses an edited edge or a cut newly exposed by an edited off-tree edge. This yields a sharp per-edit exposed-cut score and a tree-only global envelope, leading to Hamming--Lipschitz bounds on the number of ultrametric entries that can change. We also prove sharpness results showing that this dependence on tree geometry is unavoidable: under strict cut separation the tree-edge bound is attained exactly, and for off-tree edits there are explicit families in which one edited distance changes $\Theta(n^2)$ ultrametric entries. In addition, we prove a conditional near-additivity principle for multiple edits under certified large per-edit changed regions and negligible aggregate overlap. Experiments on deep-embedding graphs show that the resulting structural scores provide useful vulnerability diagnostics for hierarchical representations.

However, real-world data often suffer from missing modalities due to transmission errors or user behavior, severely degrading model performance. Existing methods enhance robustness via cross-modal consistency learning but largely ignore modality complementarity, leading to biased reconstructions. To address this limitation, we propose C$2$MOE, a novel Consistency and Complementarity-guided Mixture of Experts framework for incomplete multimodal emotion learning. Our approach unifies representation learning and missing modality imputation within a principled information-theoretic framework. Specifically, multimodal knowledge is factorized into consistency and complementarity components via interaction-aware experts. Consistency is captured by maximizing cross-modal predictability, while complementarity is preserved by maximizing conditional entropy between modalities. Building upon this decomposition, C$2$MOE introduces a dual-branch prediction mechanism for robust imputation under missing modalities. The consistency branch aligns imputed features with the joint distribution by minimizing uncertainty, and the complementarity branch exploits modality-unique cues via entropy maximization. Finally, C$2$MOE employs a learnable reweighting module that dynamically assigns importance scores to each expert's output, yielding a robust and adaptive fusion for imputation. Extensive experiments on multiple MERC benchmarks demonstrate that C$2$MOE consistently surpasses state-of-the-art methods across various missing-modality settings, validating its robustness and generalization.

They complement the data-intensive statistical approaches of neural networks and language models with symbolic reasoning algorithms to function in high-stakes domains or in low-data regimes that characterize many real-world applications. We argue that the neurosymbolic combination of machine learning and formal reasoning is not a niche approach within AI, but rather includes many already successful techniques that are of crucial importance to the development of reliable, efficient and, ultimately, trustworthy systems. This perspective prompts a re-examination of the design of current AI systems. We show that many leading AI systems, including some that are not traditionally considered as neurosymbolic, can be analysed from the perspective of four principles of neurosymbolic AI design: Reasoning, Assurances, Interfacing and Learning (RAIL). Applying the RAIL framework offers a unified view of seemingly disparate AI systems, ranging from physics-aware machine learning to neuro-guided search (such as Google DeepMind's Alpha-* suite), causal learning and tool-augmented Large Language Models. Importantly, the RAIL principles will enable engineers to make better-informed and more principled decisions about the design and deployment of production-level AI systems. In this article, we introduce the RAIL principles, examine how they can be applied across major areas of AI, and illustrate how they may guide practitioners to integrate neurosymbolic methods into next-generation AI technologies.

Prior metacognitive methods learn logical rules that flag a model's errors, but rely on hand-authored domain-knowledge cues (object-size priors, segmentation masks) that do not transfer to genuinely novel scenes. We show that this metacognitive layer can be learned without any domain knowledge by exploiting vector-space geometry: per-model Label Vector Pools (LVP), built from each model's own training embeddings, yield error-detection rules from the geometry of detections relative to training-determined prototypes, reaching parity with domain-knowledge rules to within $0.002$ every F1 on test set. Because the approach remains neurosymbolic, these geometric rules share a single logical framework and can still be complemented by domain knowledge when available. We frame the fusion of multiple imperfect ViT-based detectors as a consistency-based abduction problem solved at test time by an exact Integer Program (IP) and a polynomial-time heuristic. On an aerial-imagery benchmark of 15 weather-shifted test sets and six ViT detectors, our domain-knowledge-free layer matches the strongest majority-vote variant on clean data (within $0.005$ F1) and, unlike every majority-vote baseline, retains its performance under a coordinated label-flipping attack: at a $90\%$ flip rate it averages $0.42$ F1 versus $0.35$ for MV-Plurality (a $22\%$ relative gain) and attains the highest F1 on \emph{every} test set once the flip rate exceeds $0.4$

Existing methods suffer from fixed linear pipelines and isolated subtask processing, which hinder joint optimization of factual accuracy, visual quality, and narrative coherence. To address these issues, this paper proposes MCTS-Report, a Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)-driven framework that formulates multimodal table-to-report generation as a progressive construction process over a structured search space. The core idea is to decompose report generation into atomic actions, including chapter planning, visualization task identification, chart generation, insight organization, and narrative refinement, each executed by an LLM based on dynamic reasoning conditioned on the current report state. We use an LLM to generate step-by-step reasoning and actions during MCTS, storing the reasoning trajectory in each node for context-aware, coherent report construction. To guide the search, we design a multi-dimensional reward function that jointly evaluates numerical fact consistency (via SQL), chart quality, chart-text alignment, and structural completeness, while incorporating a diversity penalty to suppress repeated charts and a precondition check to prune invalid actions. We also construct MMRBench, a comprehensive benchmark comprising real-world tables from six domains, paired with expert-refined reference report structures and verifiable key insights. Experiments on MMRBench demonstrate that MCTS-Report significantly outperforms strong baselines across structural completeness, numerical accuracy, chart-text alignment, and insight novelty, achieving a 77.9 overall score.

Sharing weights greatly facilitates model adoption by enabling their use across diverse hardware and software platforms.

In some cases, however, concerns on modifying these weights towards unauthorized uses may outweigh the pros of giving users such a freedom.

AI 服務暫時不可用，以下為來源摘要，待恢復後補全翻譯：Today’s U.S. electrical grid, among the largest, most complex systems ever built, is operating at its limit. The combination of rapid industrial growth, more frequent extreme weather, and a record surge in electricity use has pushed the grid to its breaking point, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Built decades ago for a more predictable world in which power came mostly from centralized coal or gas plants and electricity use grew at a steady pace, the grid faces unanticipated strain due in part to growing demand from data centers. The jobs of professionals managing the infrastructure have evolved from traditional engineering tasks to complex, fast-moving challenges. Industry reports show that millions of modern digital sensors, smart meters, and grid monitors are generating nonstop waves of information. The sheer volume of data requires instant, automated computer analysis because human operators cannot process it fast enough. Pressure on utilities stems from two sources: a spike in electricity demand and a shift in how power is generated. An example of the operational strain can be seen at the regional level. With the recent deployment of artificial intelligence tools and high-performance computing, data centers require immense amounts of energy to operate. The largest power transmission utility in Texas recently reported a staggering 220 gigawatts of new connection requests, driven largely by a surge in AI and cloud-computing facilities, according to a CNBC report. Alongside the rise in regional demand, global energy networks are absorbing an unpredictable variety of weather-dependent renewable energy such as wind and solar. The switch creates a volatile operating environment wherein supply and demand are balanced, second by second, to prevent blackouts. The challenges are compounded by the vulnerability of the grid’s physical and digital framework. More-frequent severe weather events cause costly disruptions, such as the devastating winter freeze that crippled the Texas grid and record-breaking heat waves that have overloaded transformers. Simultaneously, the energy networks’ digital architecture faces threats. As utilities replace outdated analog equipment with smart meters and control systems, they are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. To overcome physical and digital vulnerabilities, grid reliability organizations, such as those conducting North American security simulations like GridEx, emphasize that the grid must become smarter, more agile, and completely automated. Energy researchers are noting that the key to this change lies in integrating AI across every layer of utilities’ operations. The AI imperative According to energy industry experts, using AI to manage power systems is no longer a futuristic research project; it has become a baseline operational necessity. Grid analysts emphasize that traditional grid-planning methods are too slow to handle rapid energy dynamics or to balance volatile renewable energy in real time within decentralized power systems such as microgrids. AI can fill the gap by processing vast amounts of data instantly. Machine learning algorithms can quickly analyze information from thousands of sensors, historical usage patterns, and weather forecasts to predict issues before they happen. An industrial digitization study conducted by McKinsey & Co. indicated that integrating advanced data and automation across infrastructure networks could reduce system design errors, decrease equipment downtime by up to 50 percent through predictive maintenance, and extend the lifespan of power machinery by up to 40 percent. From forecasting energy spikes to automatically fixing localized voltage drops, AI acts as the digital backbone of a self-healing grid, experts say. Deploying the complex systems requires a new workforce: power engineers who understand data science, as well as data scientists who understand electricity. Upgrading the Workforce To bridge the gap between groundbreaking AI research and practical field deployment, IEEE Educational Activities, in partnership with the IEEE Power & Energy Society, has launched the online Artificial Intelligence for Power and Energy Systems course program. The program explores core challenges threatening modern utilities. Rather than treating AI as an unverified black box that operates without human supervision, the curriculum focuses on safety, asset preservation, and strict reliability standards. The curriculum is designed to educate power system engineers, utility managers, and data scientists tasked with modernizing the grid. The program was developed by Fangxing “Fran” Li, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and chair of the IEEE Working Group on Machine Learning for Power Systems. Five learning modules The program breaks down the technical transition into five modules that bridge high-level theory with real-world solutions: AI fundamentals. This module teaches engineers how basic machine learning models apply to power grids. It discusses how specialized neural networks solve complex power-flow calculations and how AI models can safely transition from computer simulations to physical, high-voltage equipment. Accelerating grid control. Learners are taught to leverage deep reinforcement learning, an AI approach that uses trial and error, to accelerate automated grid adjustments during emergency power events. Forecasting and data analytics. Using predictive modeling, engineers learn how to predict sudden demand surges, variable wind and solar outputs, and fluctuating wholesale electricity market prices to keep power affordable and available. Physics-informed and safe AI. To address trust—a barrier to utility AI adoption—this course covers AI models hard-coded to obey the laws of physics. The approach is designed to ensure that automated algorithms never make erratic choices that damage grid equipment. Generative AI and next-generation tech. Learners can explore the frontier of utility technology, including graph neural networks and large language models. This module highlights how generative AI can process complex, interdisciplinary data to streamline utility planning, emergency responses, and regulatory reporting. The algorithmic literacy and practical execution tools provided by the course program can help convert systemic risks into grid resilience. For individual access, visit the IEEE Learning Network.
