SASER: Stego attacks on open-source LLMs
Open-source large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated considerable dominance over proprietary LLMs in resolving neural processing tasks, thanks to the collaborative and sharing nature. Although full access to source codes, model parameters, and training data lays the groundwork for transparency, we argue that such a full-access manner is vulnerable to stego attacks, and their ill-effects are not fully understood. In this paper, we conduct a systematic formalization for stego attacks on ope…

Towards Scalable O-RAN Resource Management: Graph-Augmented Proximal Policy Optimization
Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architectures enable flexible, scalable, and cost-efficient mobile networks by disaggregating and virtualizing baseband functions. However, this flexibility introduces significant challenges for resource management, requiring joint optimization of functional split selection and virtualized unit placement under dynamic demands and complex topologies. Existing solutions often address these aspects separately or lack scalability in large and real-world scenarios. …

Is Misinformation More Open? A Study of robots.txt Gatekeeping on the Web
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly relying on web crawling to stay up to date and accurately answer user queries. These crawlers are expected to honor robots.txt files, which govern automated access. In this study, for the first time, we investigate whether reputable news websites and misinformation sites differ in how they configure these files, particularly in relation to AI crawlers. Analyzing a curated dataset, we find a stark contrast: 60.0% of reputable sites disallow at least …

Getting Your Indices in a Row: Full-Text Search for LLM Training Data for Real World
The performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) is determined by their training data. Despite the proliferation of open-weight LLMs, access to LLM training data has remained limited. Even for fully open LLMs, the scale of the data makes it all but inscrutable to the general scientific community, despite potentially containing critical data scraped from the internet. In this paper, we present the full-text indexing pipeline for the Apertus LLM training data. Leveraging Elasticsearch parallel i…

Prepared mind, fast response: A temporal decoupling framework for adaptive knowledge orchestration in open-domain dialogue
The latency-quality tradeoff is a fundamental constraint in open-domain dialogue AI systems, since comprehensive knowledge access necessitates prohibitive response delays. Contemporary approaches offer two inadequate solutions: lightweight instruct models achieve sub-second latency but lack reasoning depth, while tool-augmented ReAct agents enhance factuality through external knowledge at the cost of synchronous execution that blocks interaction during re- trieval processes.

Mapping Historic Urban Footprints in France: Balancing Quality, Scalability and AI Techniques
Quantitative analysis of historical urban sprawl in France before the 1970s is hindered by the lack of nationwide digital urban footprint data. This study bridges this gap by developing a scalable deep learning pipeline to extract urban areas from the Scan Histo historical map series (1925-1950), which produces the first open-access, national-scale urban footprint dataset for this pivotal period. Our key innovation is a dual-pass U-Net approach designed to handle the high radiometric and stylis…

Keywords are not always the key: A metadata field analysis for natural language search on open data portals
Open data portals are essential for providing public access to open datasets. However, their search interfaces typically rely on keyword-based mechanisms and a narrow set of metadata fields. This design makes it difficult for users to find datasets using natural language queries. The problem is worsened by metadata that is often incomplete or inconsistent, especially when users lack familiarity with domain-specific terminology. In this paper, we examine how individual metadata fields affect the…

Extracting O*NET Features from the NLx Corpus to Build Public Use Aggregate Labor Market Data
Data from online job postings are difficult to access and are not built in a standard or transparent manner. Data included in the standard taxonomy and occupational information database (O*NET) are updated infrequently and based on small survey samples. We adopt O*NET as a framework for building natural language processing tools that extract structured information from job postings. We publish the Job Ad Analysis Toolkit (JAAT), a collection of open-source tools built for this purpose, and demo…

You may (or may not) recall the #Freenode takeover mess. However, thanks to #IRC being an open and widely supported protocol, many projects migrated to #LiberaChat with as little disruption as possible.
Good news is, your walled garden is unlikely to suffer the fate of Freenode — because it already is there, from day one. What are you going to do when your project suddenly gets banned and you lose access to everything — including all the data that you shouldn't have kept there in the first place? Of course, come up with some corporate bullshit of "join us on our illustrious journey to the next walled garden, and don't forget to install another 200 MiB privacy nightmare app not to be excluded from our community".

An Artificial Intelligence Driven Semantic Similarity-Based Pipeline for Rapid Literature
We propose an automated pipeline for performing literature reviews using semantic similarity. Unlike traditional systematic review systems or optimization based methods, this work emphasizes minimal overhead and high relevance by using transformer based embeddings and cosine similarity. By providing a paper title and abstract, it generates relevant keywords, fetches relevant papers from open access repository, and ranks them based on their semantic closeness to the input. Three embedding models…

On the Security of SSH Client Signatures
Administrators and developers use SSH client keys and signatures for authentication, for example, to access internet backbone servers or to commit new code on platforms like GitHub. However, unlike servers, SSH clients cannot be measured through internet scans. We close this gap in two steps. First, we collect SSH client public keys. Such keys are regularly published by their owners on open development platforms like GitHub and GitLab. We systematize previous non-academic work by subjecting the…

QDFlow: A Python package for physics simulations of quantum dot devices
Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have accelerated progress in calibrating and operating quantum dot (QD) devices. However, most ML approaches rely on access to large, high-quality labeled datasets for training, benchmarking, and validation, with labels capturing key features in the data. Obtaining such datasets experimentally is challenging due to limited data availability and the labor-intensive nature of labeling. QDFlow is an open-source physics simulator for multi-QD arrays that gen…

An Implementation of Multi-User MIMO Downlink for O-RAN 5G New Radio using OpenAirInterface
We present the first implementation of a Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) transmission scheme on the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) for 5G Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) based on OpenAirInterface (OAI). Our implementation features a fully functional O-RAN-compliant 5G New Radio (5G NR) system, including a 5G Core Network (5G CN), a refined 5G RAN, which is split into a Centre Unit (CU) and an Distributed Unit (DU), and 5G NR User Equipment (UEs). This implementat…

I'm getting closer with my nginx-rtmp-Docker-container-on-MacOS project!
I started from scratch on the mac a couple days ago, reinstalled docker with homebrew and then realized that part of my problem was that macOS (and windows) has to run docker in a virtual machine container of its own and *that* can mess with networking.
So I have now figured that out. Colima, the vm that seems most popular on macOS, needs a mac specific option (--network-attached) when starting so that it gets the mac network going. Major Aha! moment.
I also learned more completely how to build my own Docker images.
I've gotten to the point where nginx is definitely running, I know the port is open (via nmap on another device), I know nginx is accepting the stream, but nginx still refuses to publish that stream to Youtube (or at least youtube is not seeing it).
I also can ping apple.com and youtube.com from within the container, so access to the outside world is working.
I
So that's where I'm at.
I just figured out how to get into a container and examine the nginx log files now.
At this point I am going to rebuild the container with nginx configured for full debug level logging. Hopefully that provides some more clues on where it is getting stuck.
I give it a 50/50 chance that it is either an nginx configuration/installation problem or another colima virtual machine/networking issue.
I've learned a lot at least and feel better about my overall Docker knowledge!
And I'm documenting on my blog as I go so I'll have a howto produced from this when it finally works!

chainScale: Secure Functionality-oriented Scalability for Decentralized Resource Markets
Decentralized resource markets are Web 3.0 applications that build open-access platforms for trading digital resources among users without any central management. They promise cost reduction, transparency, and flexible service provision. However, these markets usually have large workload that must be processed in a timely manner, leading to serious scalability problems. Despite the large amount of work on blockchain scalability, existing solutions are ineffective as they do not account for thes…
