A fully open-source pipeline that reproduces the behavior of a cloud-native, event-driven system -- file arrival triggering a message, a message triggering compute -- entirely on commodity hardware, using Apache Kafka and a filesystem-watching poller in place of managed cloud triggers is described.

This paper introduces a formal evaluation methodology that is grounded in AgentGraph, a planner powered by a domain specific language that represents agent reasoning through a dynamically adjustable directed graph, and defines novel metrics that measure response and trajectory determinism, structural adherence and semantic consistency across both exact replays and their linguistic variants.

Streaming-potential-mediated transport of viscoelastic fluids has attracted research attention owing to its applications in electrokinetic energy conversion and microfluidic transport. Existing analytical and semi-analytical models in published literature provide valuable physical insights, but require repeated numerical evaluations for exploring large design spaces and identifying the optimal operating conditions. In this work, a surrogate-assisted framework is developed for rapid design optimization of pressure-driven electrokinetic transport of simplified Phan-Thien-Tanner fluids in a slit microchannel. A high-fidelity numerical database is generated over a broad range of governing dimensionless parameters, which includes the zeta potential, the Debye parameter, the Dukhin number, and the viscoelastic parameter. A Machine Learning surrogate model is subsequently trained to accurately approximate the nonlinear relationship between the governing parameters and the streaming potential, while the volumetric flow rate and hydroelectric energy conversion efficiency were calculated from closed form equation by using the streaming potential predicted by the surrogate. This is coupled with a multi-objective optimization strategy to identify operating conditions that simultaneously maximize energy conversion efficiency and volumetric flow rate. The proposed methodology can significantly accelerate parametric exploration compared with repeated numerical simulations across different parameters and provides practical design guidelines for electrokinetic microfluidic devices. The study demonstrates the potential of combining computational fluid mechanics with data-driven surrogate modeling for efficient engineering design and optimization.

This work presents a systematic mechanistic analysis of multilingual safety using sparse autoencoder features, sparse interpretable directions in the residual stream associated with harmful and harmless model behavior across three instruction-tuned LLMs, eight languages, and all model layers to qualify the language-universality of safety alignment as architecture-dependent and offer a mechanistic account of multilingual safety interventions.
This is the first work to formulate compression-aware abstention as a learning problem, in which a model learns to answer when supporting evidence survives compression and abstain when it does not, and controlled-deletion experiments show that the learned behavior is driven by evidence content rather than input length alone.
The framework, INFUSE, first stabilizes visual and textual representations around perturbation-averaged and ground-truth anchors, then aligns the stabilized representations across modalities with bidirectional contrastive objectives.

Diversify, Anchor, and Filter (DAF), a stabilization framework that augments entropy-based adaptation with a marginal diversity loss that resists collapse, a cross-modal anchor consistency loss that constrains feature drift relative to a frozen source model, and feature salience filtering that skips low-value backward passes to offset part of the source-anchor overhead is proposed.

Sensitivity-Guided Erasing Adaptation (SEGA) is introduced, a method for strict online continual TTA (CTTA) on corruption-style streams that yields consistent robustness and stability gains over strong CTTA baselines while reducing backward passes through sensitivity-based gating.

Experiments show Influence-Directed Adaptive On-Policy Distillation (IDA-OPD), rather than relying on costly full-vocabulary Forward-KL objectives, preserves entropy-expanding updates while replacing entropy-contracting ones with divergence-adaptive advantage shrinkage, using only the teacher's sampled-token log-probability.

This paper constructs quality-adjusted price indices for the AI inference market from public data and assembles 21,024 posted-price observations across 3,208 models and 86 providers and joins them to 4,605 benchmark scores through a latent quality index estimated from benchmark response patterns.
A weeklong summer workshop brought higher education faculty to campus to explore how AI and machine learning materials can be adapted for their classrooms.
Adaptive AI agents can help make BIM data more machine-readable by navigating IFC models, interpreting inconsistent information, and mapping it to defined standards. In this blog, Alok Rawat shares findings from a real-world pilot in construction workflows. The post Adaptive AI Agents in Construction Workflows appeared first on GPT-Lab.
