LLMscope: Extracting LLM Assets from Edge AI Chips via Optical Probing

This work shows that one can extract LLM assets during inference, namely embeddings, attention, and quantized MLP weights, activations, and other inference states, from localized memories and compute subcircuits from localized memories and compute subcircuits by deploying laser voltage imaging.

Mahalanobis-Based Multi-Head Attention for Complex State Propagation

MHA-CSP achieves robust structured reasoning via synthetic distance rectification---powered by Mahalanobis-based attention---and efficient information bypass inherited from the CSP backbone, highlighting the effectiveness of complex-valued state propagation with collaborative multi-head rectification in capturing symbolic structures.

Computing an e-net of a closed hyperbolic surface

The notion of a pseudo e-net is introduced, which decomposes the surface into e-thin cylinders together with a Delaunay triangulation over an e-net of the remaining thick part of the hyperbolic surface.

Low-Latency Activation-Regularized Sparse Neural Operators with Distillation Assistance Towards Real-Time Edge-Deployable Virtual Sensing

The Sparse-Activation-ReLU (SAR) layer is proposed, a single-step alternative that promotes activation sparsity without surrogate-gradient training while remaining compatible with event-based computing and is a step towards energy-efficient virtual sensing.

Task‐based evaluation of axial and multiplanar reconstructions in computed tomography: A volumetric analysis of spatial resolution, noise, and detectability

MPR image quality is typically inferior to axial images and deteriorates further when derived from thicker axial slices, therefore, appropriate selection of the reconstruction kernel, pixel size and slice thickness are essential to maintain diagnostic image quality.

Collaborative resource allocation in UAV-assisted MEC networks: A heterogeneous MAPPO scheme

This paper proposes a heterogeneous multi-agent proximal policy optimization (MAPPO)-based framework where both user devices and UAVs act as heterogeneous agents and utilizes a centralized training and decentralized execution (CTDE) paradigm to enable collaborative strategies between computing requesters and providers.

A Fully Matrix-Free Three-Grid Preconditioner for the Time-Harmonic Maxwell Equations at Extreme Scale

Three-dimensional time-harmonic Maxwell simulations generate massive complex indefinite systems whose mesh coarsening is strictly limited by phase accuracy. Although matrix-free finite element kernels utilize GPU throughput efficiently, standard multilevel solvers are ultimately bottlenecked by the memory and communication costs of exact coarse-grid factorizations. We present a fully matrix-free, factorization-free three-grid preconditioner for curl-conforming N{\'e}delec discretizations with perfectly matched layers (PML) and optimally blended quadrature. The method employs an outer FGMRES to solve the unshifted fine-grid equation, while an intermediate-grid correction is computed by a fixed-work FGMRES preconditioned with a complex-shifted $2h$--$4h$ cycle. This strategically confines the complex shift to an auxiliary preconditioner, preserving the physical Maxwell operator. A local Fourier analysis derives the blended Maxwell branches and compatible edge transfers, identifying robust shift and Jacobi damping parameters. Validated against the analytical Maxwell Green tensor, our approach demonstrates extreme scalability: using a single solver configuration, both homogeneous and highly heterogeneous systems with approximately 10.89 billion complex edge unknowns are solved in 42.0--72.0 seconds on just 64 NVIDIA A100 GPUs.
