Exploring Design of Multi-Agent LLM Dialogues for Research Ideation
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to support creative tasks such as research idea generation. While recent work has shown that structured dialogues between LLMs can improve the novelty and feasibility of generated ideas, the optimal design of such interactions remains unclear. In this study, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of multi-agent LLM dialogues for scientific ideation. We compare different configurations of agent roles, number of agents, and dialogue depth to underst…

Minimal Roles of Solar Subsurface Meridional Flow in the distributed-shear Babcock-Leighton Dynamo
The subsurface meridional flow has long been recognized as a critical factor in driving the solar cycle. Specifically, the equatorward return flow in the tachocline is widely believed to be responsible for the formation of the sunspot butterfly diagram and determine the solar cycle period within the framework of flux transport dynamo (FTD) models. We aim to investigate whether the subsurface meridional flow also plays a significant role in the recently developed distributed-shear Babcock-Leight…

Chiral non-Abelian domain walls in dense QCD
In this paper, we study chiral non-Abelian domain walls in a phase of unconventional vacua of dense QCD. The phase is characterized by asymmetric vacuum-expectation values (VEVs), for example with the left scalar field, corresponding to the left quark-quark condensate, having a nonvanishing VEV and the right field having a vanishing one. The domain wall soliton interpolates between this vacuum and another where the left and right scalar fields switch roles. We contemplate that such vacua could …

Shapley-Coop: Credit Assignment for Emergent Cooperation in Self-Interested LLM Agents
Large Language Models (LLMs) show strong collaborative performance in multi-agent systems with predefined roles and workflows.

This problem is critical as LLMs increasingly participate in complex hum…

Distributionally Robust Optimization for Aerial Multi-access Edge Computing via Cooperation of UAVs and HAPs
With an extensive increment of computation demands, the aerial multi-access edge computing (MEC), mainly based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and high altitude platforms (HAPs), plays significant roles in future network scenarios. In detail, UAVs can be flexibly deployed, while HAPs are characterized with large capacity and stability. Hence, in this paper, we provide a hierarchical model composed of an HAP and multi-UAVs, to provide aerial MEC services. Moreover, considering the errors of c…

XR Offloading Across Multiple Time Scales: The Roles of Power, Temperature, and Energy
Extended reality (XR) devices, commonly known as wearables, must handle significant computational loads under tight latency constraints. To meet these demands, they rely on a combination of on-device processing and edge offloading. This letter focuses on offloading strategies for wearables by considering their impact across three time scales: instantaneous power consumption, short-term temperature fluctuations, and long-term battery duration. We introduce a comprehensive system model that captu…

Temporal passing network in basketball: the effect of time pressure on the dynamics of team organization at micro and meso levels
In this study, basketball teams are conceptualized as complex adaptive systems to examine their (re)organizational processes in response the time remaining to shoot. Using temporal passing networks to model team behavior, the focus is on the dynamics of the temporal patterns of interaction between players. Several metrics grounded in social network analysis are calculated at different level to assess the dynamics of the patterns used by teams and of the individual roles within those patterns. T…

Learning Cache Coherence Traffic for NoC Routing Design
The rapid growth of multi-core systems highlights the need for efficient Network-on-Chip (NoC) design to ensure seamless communication. Cache coherence, essential for data consistency, substantially reduces task computation time by enabling data sharing among caches. As a result, routing serves two roles: facilitating data sharing (influenced by topology) and managing NoC-level communication. However, cache coherence is often overlooked in routing, causing mismatches between design expectations…

Experiment and the Pursuit of Ugly Models
Scientists do not merely choose to accept fully formed theories, they also have to decide which models to work on before they are fully developed and tested. Since decisive empirical evidence in favour of a model will not yet have been gathered, other criteria must play determining roles. I examine the case of modern high-energy physics where the experimental context that once favoured the pursuit of beautiful, simple, and general theories now favours the pursuit of models that are ad hoc, narr…

Modeling Bulimia Nervosa in the Digital Age: The Role of Social Media
Globalization has fundamentally reshaped societal dynamics, influencing how individuals interact and perceive themselves and others. One significant consequence is the evolving landscape of eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa (BN), which are increasingly driven not just by internal psychological factors but by broader sociocultural and digital contexts. While mathematical modeling has provided valuable insights, traditional frameworks often fall short in capturing the nuanced roles of soci…

Swapping objectives accelerates Davis-Yin splitting
In this work, we investigate the application of Davis-Yin splitting (DYS) to convex optimization problems and demonstrate that swapping the roles of the two nonsmooth convex functions can result in a faster convergence rate. Such a swap typically yields a different sequence of iterates, but its impact on convergence behavior has been largely understudied or often overlooked. We address this gap by establishing best-known convergence rates for DYS and its swapped counterpart, using the primal--d…

Exploring Classical Piano Performance Generation with Expressive Music Variational AutoEncoder
The creativity of classical music arises not only from composers who craft the musical sheets but also from performers who interpret the static notations with expressive nuances. This paper addresses the challenge of generating classical piano performances from scratch, aiming to emulate the dual roles of composer and pianist in the creative process. We introduce the Expressive Compound Word (ECP) representation, which effectively captures both the metrical structure and expressive nuances of c…

NLP4Neuro: Sequence-to-sequence learning for neural population decoding
Delineating how animal behavior arises from neural activity is a foundational goal of neuroscience. However, as the computations underlying behavior unfold in networks of thousands of individual neurons across the entire brain, this presents challenges for investigating neural roles and computational mechanisms in large, densely wired mammalian brains during behavior. Transformers, the backbones of modern large language models (LLMs), have become powerful tools for neural decoding from smaller …

Jet precession in gamma-ray bursts: The roles of fallback accretion and disk dynamics
The precession phenomenon of the jet in a gamma-ray burst (GRB) is a key probe of the physics of the central engine. Previous studies generally assumed a fixed precession period when analysing the temporal profiles in GRBs; however, the dynamic evolution of the fallback process and accretion disk can significantly affect the precession behaviour. In this work we present a jet precession model that incorporates the co-evolution of fallback accretion and the central black hole (BH). Our model dem…

Towards an observationally motivated AGN dusty torus model -- II. The roles of density distribution and chemical composition of the dust
Several models of nuclear dust in active galactic nuclei (AGN) have been presented in the literature to determine its physical and geometrical properties, usually assuming the dust density distribution as the main aspect producing differences in the mid-infrared (MIR) emission of AGNs. We present a study of the MIR emission of nearby AGNs by exploring the effects of dust distribution and chemical composition on the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) using radiative transfer simulations.

Can LLMs and humans be friends? Uncovering factors affecting human-AI intimacy formation
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being used in conversational roles, yet little is known about how intimacy emerges in human-LLM interactions. Although previous work emphasized the importance of self-disclosure in human-chatbot interaction, it is questionable whether gradual and reciprocal self-disclosure is also helpful in human-LLM interaction. Thus, this study examined three possible aspects contributing to intimacy formation: gradual self-disclosure, reciprocity, and naturalnes…

Measuring Interstellar Carbon Abundance via 158 um [CII] Absorption with SOFIA -- A Potential Detection, and Proof-of-Concept for Depletion Studies with Future Far-IR Facilities
Carbon plays key roles in the InterStellar Medium (ISM) -- as a constituent of dust, as the carrier of the dominant far-infrared cooling line, and as a component of various important molecules. But despite this, there are very few measurements of the abundance and depletion of carbon in the diffuse ISM. As with other elements, these measurements are traditionally performed in the ultraviolet. But for carbon, such measurements are extremely difficult, and less than 20 have been reported in the l…
