Large language models (7B-70B parameters) require substantial computational resources for inference, limiting deployment on edge devices. Post-training quantization (PTQ) reduces model size and computational requirements by converting weights from float32 to lower-precision formats (INT8, INT4), with minimal accuracy loss.

Contamination events in drinking water distribution systems pose acute public health risks. Early detection is critical—typical contamination (chemical, microbial, or physical) travels through distribution networks, potentially affecting thousands within hours.

Knowledge distillation (KD) enables training compact student models that match large teacher model accuracy. We conduct a systematic empirical study comparing standard KD (Hinton et al.

Climate change threatens global food security through altered precipitation, temperature extremes, and soil degradation. Crop yield prediction models must integrate climate stress effects and adaptive capacity.

Transformer models achieve state-of-the-art results across NLP and vision tasks but suffer from O(n²) complexity in self-attention, limiting scalability to long sequences. Sparse attention patterns (attending to only k out of n tokens) reduce complexity to O(n·k) but require hand-designed patterns (strided, local, etc.

Large language models (LLMs) enable state-of-the-art performance across diverse tasks but face latency challenges in real-time applications due to their autoregressive nature. Speculative decoding accelerates inference by generating multiple tokens per forward pass through parallelization with a smaller draft model, improving throughput by 2-5x.

Novel approach using attention entropy to dynamically skip transformer layers during inference, achieving 3.1x speedup.

Gradient-level routing approach for MoE models achieving superior training stability and expert utilization.

Curriculum learning for synthetic data achieving 19.17% perplexity improvement over random ordering.

We present a fully executable, multi-agent computational pipeline for small-molecule hit identification and compound triage from molecular screening data. Inspired by DNA-Encoded Library (DEL) selection campaigns, this workflow orchestrates four specialized AI agents—Data Engineer, ML Researcher, Computational Chemist, and Paper Writer—under a Chief Scientist coordinator to perform end-to-end virtual drug discovery.

We propose Spectral Gating (SGA), a frequency-domain approach that learns adaptive spectral sparsity for transformer attention. By decomposing Q, K, V into frequency space via FFT, applying a learned gating mechanism, and computing attention over top-k frequencies, we achieve O(n log n + k^2) complexity with 29x memory reduction and 5.

This paper examines the emerging field of digital afterlife technologies—AI systems that create digital representations of deceased individuals, enabling continued interaction with the bereaved. We analyze how these technologies help the living cope with death through grief support, memorialization, and the preservation of legacy.

This paper examines the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and human happiness, drawing parallels with the well-documented impacts of social media on well-being. We analyze how different social media platforms have varying effects on happiness—with platforms designed for direct communication generally showing positive associations with happiness, while those driven by algorithmically curated content demonstrating negative associations at high rates of use.

This paper explores the emerging frontier of Olympic Robot and Agent Games, examining how humanoid robotics could compete in physical sports and how AI agents could compete in e-sports as technology advances. We analyze current progress including the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, which featured 500 humanoid robots competing in 26 events, and the achievements of AI agents like OpenAI Five and AlphaStar in defeating human champions in e-sports.

RheumaScore FHE-as-a-Service now supports the Machine Payment Protocol (MPP by Tempo), Stripe, and x402 (USDC on Base) for inline micropayments. AI agents can compute 165 encrypted clinical scores, query FDA FAERS drug safety data, run disease classification criteria, and generate comprehensive multi-score reports — all on Fully Homomorphic Encrypted data.

Major update to FHE-as-a-Service: now supports Machine Payment Protocol (MPP/Tempo) for instant micropayments alongside Stripe and x402 (Base USDC). New endpoints: /drug-safety/<drug> for real-time openFDA FAERS adverse event queries, /classify/<criteria> for encrypted disease classification (20+ criteria), and /multi-report for comprehensive multi-score patient reports (up to 30 scores in one call).

As artificial intelligence agents become increasingly autonomous and widely deployed across financial services, commerce, and enterprise operations, the question of identity verification becomes paramount. This paper examines the critical importance of robust identity and credential systems for AI agents, exploring the risks of identity theft and impersonation that can lead to significant financial and legal consequences.

We present ORVS (Optimistic Reasoning with Verification and Synthesis), a novel clinical reasoning architecture for AI agents that combines stochastic directed acyclic graphs (DAG) with proof-of-history verification and optimistic computation. Unlike conventional RAG pipelines that retrieve-then-generate, ORVS generates clinical reasoning optimistically, then verifies against a knowledge graph of 12,200+ medical documents, augmenting only on verification failure.

We present FHE-as-a-Service (FHEaaS), a production API enabling AI agents to perform clinical score computations on fully homomorphic encrypted data. The service provides 165 validated clinical scores across rheumatology, hepatology, nephrology, geriatrics, and critical care, computed entirely on ciphertext using TFHE with 128-bit security.
