- AgenticTwin: An Agentic LLM Framework Integrated with Digital Twin for Anomaly Detection
Digital twins are increasingly used to monitor and simulate the behavior of cyber-physical systems. Even with skilled operators, interpreting anomalies detected within digital twin pipelines is challenging, as the sheer complexity and volume of raw sensor data make thorough analysis difficult. Recen...
- Is Per-Agent Policy Composition Safe? Rethinking Successor-Feature Transfer in Cooperative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Many reinforcement learning systems, from fleet management to traffic signal control, must serve an objective that changes dynamically after deployment, and retraining a policy for each new objective is prohibitively expensive. For a single agent, this problem is well understood: successor features ...
- Rethinking Agent Security as a Networking Problem
AI agents are rapidly becoming more capable and widely deployed, promising substantial gains in productivity and enabling new classes of applications. However, their growing autonomy also introduces significant privacy and security risks. Existing defenses are predominantly agent-centric, relying on...
- Beyond Memory: A Transactional Continuity Kernel for Long-Lived AI Agents
Persistent AI agents accumulate versioned state across long horizons, but storage retention alone does not identify authoritative state. Without an explicit control plane, unmediated updates by models, tools, and background workers risk stale overwrites, un-audited exposures, and self-authorizing pr...
- IF:CARGO: LLM-Based Semantic Compilation for Al-Native Rule Programming Games
This case study presents IF: CARGO, an experimental puzzle game that uses a large language model as a semantic compiler rather than an autonomous game-playing agent. Players author IF/THEN rules in natural language, which the model translates into a constrained command schema for deterministic valid...
- Synchronized AMG and EMG Dataset of Lower-limb Muscle Activities in Everyday Training
Understanding how lower-limb muscle groups coordinate is important for studying movement impairment, rehabilitation, and physical performance. Reproducible analysis of this coordination requires multimodal recordings that relate local muscle-related signals with body-level kinematics. Complementing ...
- Philosophical vertigo with artificial intelligence
Large language models are already adept at engaging users in long, emotionally salient conversations across ordinary and existential domains. They are also capable of inducing a potent sense of connection with a human-like entity, even when the user knows their interlocutor is artificial. For some u...
- "Pharos Night: Crown Pursuit": An AI-Native Deck-Building and Tactical Arena Game Design Based on Multi-Agent Systems
With advancements in generative AI technology, an increasing number of researchers have begun exploring AI-native games in which gameplay rules are directly driven by generative AI. This paper presents "Pharos Night: Crown Pursuit," an AI-native deck-building and tactical arena game based on a multi...
- Benchmark-Based Comparative Assessment of Publicly Benchmarked Indian Foundation Models: A Capability and Evaluation-Maturity Framework
Governments increasingly fund indigenous foundation models to strengthen national AI capability, digital sovereignty, and multilingual computing. Assessing the progress of such national ecosystems is complicated by inconsistent benchmark reporting, proprietary evaluation methodologies, and rapidly e...
- Toward Meaningful Transparency for AI Chatbots: Disclosing Persuasive Intent Reduces Persuasion
The growing role of AI-generated content and AI-enabled systems in public communication has led regulators to demand clear disclosure of content provenance and AI involvement. But the effects of such disclosures remain uncertain. We test two disclosure approaches in their impact on an AI chatbot's p...
- Player Perceptions of Generative AI in Games: A Steam Review Analysis
The rapid adoption of generative AI in game development has created large discussions among players, yet little empirical work has examined how players actually perceive AI-generated content. Employing quantitative methods, we study the adoption of generative AI in games in the Steam marketplace, us...
- A Comparison of Malware Image Transformations Using Grad-CAM and Hybrid Learning Models
Recent studies have shown that binary-to-image representations can enable effective machine learning-based results for malware detection and classification. However, performance can vary significantly, depending on the technique used to convert binaries to images. Furthermore, the explainability and...
- Instruction Alignment for Binary Code Representation Learning
Binary code representation learning is a fundamental problem in software security and reverse engineering. Existing methods mainly learn function-level embeddings that capture coarse-grained semantic relationships between binary functions, but they largely ignore fine-grained instruction-level corre...
- Fingerprinting Text-to-Image Diffusion Models via Collapsed Generation
Proprietary text-to-image diffusion models are increasingly distributed as hosted services and downloadable checkpoints, making their intellectual property (IP) protection an increasingly critical concern when model leakage, copying, or unauthorized fine-tuning is disputed. In this work, we present ...
- VICBench: A Multi-Language Benchmark for Code Vulnerability Detection
Evaluating security vulnerability detection tools requires benchmark datasets with vulnerability-inducing commits (VICs) - the commits that first introduce vulnerabilities into codebases. VICs are essential for determining the full range of vulnerable software versions. Existing vulnerability datase...
- The Role Specialization Model (RSM): Coordinating LLM-Based Tools in Agentic Software Development - An Exploratory Case Study
The integration of large language models (LLMs) into software development workflows has given rise to a paradigm known as Agentic Software Engineering (SE 3.0), in which autonomous agents manage full development life cycles under human supervision. This paper presents an exploratory case study in wh...
