Agentic Graph Neural Networks for Wireless Communications and Networking Towards Edge General Intelligence: A Survey
The rapid advancement of communication technologies has driven the evolution of communication networks towards both high-dimensional resource utilization and multifunctional integration. This evolving complexity poses significant challenges in designing communication networks to satisfy the growing quality-of-service and time sensitivity of mobile applications in dynamic environments. Graph neural networks (GNNs) have emerged as fundamental deep learning (DL) models for complex communication ne…

It's #NationalComingOutDay and I know how scary and life-changing it can be to come out. So many don't have the freedom to come out. I am a general manager of a store and I strive for my employees to be able to be themselves.

GmSLM : Generative Marmoset Spoken Language Modeling
Marmoset monkeys exhibit complex vocal communication, challenging the view that nonhuman primates vocal communication is entirely innate, and show similar features of human speech, such as vocal labeling of others and turn-taking. Studying their vocal communication offers a unique opportunity to link it with brain activity-especially given the difficulty of accessing the human brain in speech and language research. Since Marmosets communicate primarily through vocalizations, applying standard L…

Multi Robot Coordination in Highly Dynamic Environments: Tackling Asymmetric Obstacles and Limited Communication
Coordinating a fully distributed multi-agent system (MAS) can be challenging when the communication channel has very limited capabilities in terms of sending rate and packet payload. When the MAS has to deal with active obstacles in a highly partially observable environment, the communication channel acquires considerable relevance. In this paper, we present an approach to deal with task assignments in extremely active scenarios, where tasks need to be frequently reallocated among the agents pa…

Decentralized Multi-Robot Relative Navigation in Unknown, Structurally Constrained Environments under Limited Communication
Multi-robot navigation in unknown, structurally constrained, and GPS-denied environments presents a fundamental trade-off between global strategic foresight and local tactical agility, particularly under limited communication. Centralized methods achieve global optimality but suffer from high communication overhead, while distributed methods are efficient but lack the broader awareness to avoid deadlocks and topological traps. To address this, we propose a fully decentralized, hierarchical rela…
