We present a real-time semantic navigation framework for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) focused on improving time efficiency in the Object Goal Navigation (ObjectNav) task. Central to our approach is a Large Language Model (LLM) that interprets user-provided natural language instructions and performs semantic reasoning over detected objects and spatial context to prioritize high-probability search regions. The system combines real-time object detection, 3D spatial mapping, and polynomial spline interpolation for smooth and feasible UAV trajectory planning. Unlike prior methods that rely on offline reasoning or simulator-constrained action spaces, our framework can operate in real time, continuously updating semantic relevance based on new observations. Experiments in both simulated and real-world settings demonstrate reductions in mission duration while maintaining high search accuracy, underscoring the effectiveness of LLM-guided reasoning for time- efficient UAV-based ObjectNav.
Investigating how experienced developers use agents in building software, including their motivations, strategies, task suitability, and sentiments finds that while experienced developers value agents as a productivity boost, they retain their agency in software design and implementation out of insistence on fundamental software quality attributes.
An adaptive surrogate modeling method for problems with very high-dimensional spatio-temporal outputs is developed that combines exploration and exploitation to improve the surrogate model accuracy with the fewest possible runs of the expensive physics-based model.

This review provides a systematic literature review of LLM-based Verilog code generation, analyzing 102 papers (70 published and 32 high-quality preprints) from SE, AI, and EDA venues and outlines a roadmap highlighting potential opportunities in LLM-assisted hardware design.
This work introduces Behavior-Outcome Freedom (F), a pre-synthesis diagnostic of signed behavior-outcome rank mismatch, and formalizes its candidate-conditional role through Signed Anchor-Rank Transfer, which preserves validated capability resources, removes runtime orchestration, and conditionally inherits pipeline guidance using a calibrated rule over F.
