Elk: Exploring the Efficiency of Inter-core Connected AI Chips with Deep Learning Compiler Techniques
To meet the increasing demand of deep learning (DL) models, AI chips are employing both off-chip memory (e.g., HBM) and high-bandwidth low-latency interconnect for direct inter-core data exchange. However, it is not easy to explore the efficiency of these inter-core connected AI (ICCA) chips, due to a fundamental tussle among compute (per-core execution), communication (inter-core data exchange), and I/O (off-chip data access). In this paper, we develop Elk, a DL compiler framework to maximiz…

Ego-centric Learning of Communicative World Models for Autonomous Driving
We study multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) for tasks in complex high-dimensional environments, such as autonomous driving. MARL is known to suffer from the \textit{partial observability} and \textit{non-stationarity} issues. To tackle these challenges, information sharing is often employed, which however faces major hurdles in practice, including overwhelming communication overhead and scalability concerns. By making use of generative AI embodied in world model together with its latent …

Analyzing Common Electronic Structure Theory Algorithms for Distributed Quantum Computing
To move towards the utility era of quantum computing, many corporations have posed distributed quantum computing (DQC) as a framework for scaling the current generation of devices for practical applications. One of these applications is quantum chemistry, also known as electronic structure theory, which has been poised as a "killer application" of quantum computing, To this end, we analyze five electronic structure methods, found in common packages such as Tequila and ffsim, which can be easily…

Spatiotemporal Prediction of Electric Vehicle Charging Load Based on Large Language Models
The rapid growth of EVs and the subsequent increase in charging demand pose significant challenges for load grid scheduling and the operation of EV charging stations. Effectively harnessing the spatiotemporal correlations among EV charging stations to improve forecasting accuracy is complex. To tackle these challenges, we propose EV-LLM for EV charging loads based on LLMs in this paper. EV-LLM integrates the strengths of Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) in spatiotemporal feature extraction w…

SpeechVerifier: Robust Acoustic Fingerprint against Tampering Attacks via Watermarking
With the surge of social media, maliciously tampered public speeches, especially those from influential figures, have seriously affected social stability and public trust. Existing speech tampering detection methods remain insufficient: they either rely on external reference data or fail to be both sensitive to attacks and robust to benign operations, such as compression and resampling. To tackle these challenges, we introduce SpeechVerifer to proactively verify speech integrity using only the …

Deep Research Agents: A Systematic Examination And Roadmap
The rapid progress of Large Language Models (LLMs) has given rise to a new category of autonomous AI systems, referred to as Deep Research (DR) agents. These agents are designed to tackle complex, multi-turn informational research tasks by leveraging a combination of dynamic reasoning, adaptive long-horizon planning, multi-hop information retrieval, iterative tool use, and the generation of structured analytical reports. In this paper, we conduct a detailed analysis of the foundational technolo…

Generalized ODE reduction algorithm for bounded degree transformation
The integrability problem of rational first-order ODEs $y^{\prime}=\frac{M(x,y)}{N(x,y)}$, where $M,N \in \mathbb{R}[x,y]$ is a long-term research focus in the area of dynamical systems, physics, etc. Although the computer algebra system such as Mathematica, Maple has developed standard algorithms to tackle its first integral expressed by Liouvillian or special function, this problem is quite difficult and the general method requires specifying a tight degree bound for the Darboux polynomial.
