Low-Latency Activation-Regularized Sparse Neural Operators with Distillation Assistance Towards Real-Time Edge-Deployable Virtual Sensing

The Sparse-Activation-ReLU (SAR) layer is proposed, a single-step alternative that promotes activation sparsity without surrogate-gradient training while remaining compatible with event-based computing and is a step towards energy-efficient virtual sensing.

WiCi: Wireless GPU Computing Infrastructure

The proposed Wireless GPU Computing Infrastructure (WiCi) can reduce time to first token by up to 90%, improve the token rate by approximately 39x compared to local inference on mobile devices for the same model, and support much larger models.

Task‐based evaluation of axial and multiplanar reconstructions in computed tomography: A volumetric analysis of spatial resolution, noise, and detectability

MPR image quality is typically inferior to axial images and deteriorates further when derived from thicker axial slices, therefore, appropriate selection of the reconstruction kernel, pixel size and slice thickness are essential to maintain diagnostic image quality.

Collaborative resource allocation in UAV-assisted MEC networks: A heterogeneous MAPPO scheme

This paper proposes a heterogeneous multi-agent proximal policy optimization (MAPPO)-based framework where both user devices and UAVs act as heterogeneous agents and utilizes a centralized training and decentralized execution (CTDE) paradigm to enable collaborative strategies between computing requesters and providers.

A Fully Matrix-Free Three-Grid Preconditioner for the Time-Harmonic Maxwell Equations at Extreme Scale

Three-dimensional time-harmonic Maxwell simulations generate massive complex indefinite systems whose mesh coarsening is strictly limited by phase accuracy. Although matrix-free finite element kernels utilize GPU throughput efficiently, standard multilevel solvers are ultimately bottlenecked by the memory and communication costs of exact coarse-grid factorizations. We present a fully matrix-free, factorization-free three-grid preconditioner for curl-conforming N{\'e}delec discretizations with perfectly matched layers (PML) and optimally blended quadrature. The method employs an outer FGMRES to solve the unshifted fine-grid equation, while an intermediate-grid correction is computed by a fixed-work FGMRES preconditioned with a complex-shifted $2h$--$4h$ cycle. This strategically confines the complex shift to an auxiliary preconditioner, preserving the physical Maxwell operator. A local Fourier analysis derives the blended Maxwell branches and compatible edge transfers, identifying robust shift and Jacobi damping parameters. Validated against the analytical Maxwell Green tensor, our approach demonstrates extreme scalability: using a single solver configuration, both homogeneous and highly heterogeneous systems with approximately 10.89 billion complex edge unknowns are solved in 42.0--72.0 seconds on just 64 NVIDIA A100 GPUs.

AirMoE: Realizing Over-the-Air Distributed Mixture-of-Experts Inference at the Wireless Edge

An inference-aware AirMoE error metric is constructed to quantify aggregation distortion effects on end-to-end (E2E) inference accuracy via perturbation-based layer-sensitivity calibration, and an activation- and channel-aware expert placement strategy is developed that assigns more important experts to devices with lower channel-power cost.

Misanthrope: A Privacy-Preserving Keypoint Detector

This work introduces Misanthrope, a novel privacy-preserving keypoint detector trained through self-distillation to avoid detecting keypoints on people, thus mitigating inversion attacks at the source rather than through post-hoc obfuscation.
