Modeling Electric Vehicle Car-Following Behavior: Classical vs Machine Learning Approach
Venue: arXiv cs.AI 2025
Year: 2025

The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates an understanding of their driving behavior to enhance traffic safety and develop smart driving systems. This study compares classical and machine learning models for EV car following behavior. Classical models include the Intelligent Driver Model (IDM), Optimum Velocity Model (OVM), Optimal Velocity Relative Velocity (OVRV), and a simplified CACC model, while the machine learning approach employs a Random Forest Regressor. Using a real world dataset of an EV following an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle under varied driving conditions, we calibrated classical model parameters by minimizing the RMSE between predictions and real data. The Random Forest model predicts acceleration using spacing, speed, and gap type as inputs. Results demonstrate the Random Forest's superior accuracy, achieving RMSEs of 0.0046 (medium gap), 0.0016 (long gap), and 0.0025 (extra long gap). Among physics based models, CACC performed best, with an RMSE of 2.67 for long gaps. These findings highlight the machine learning model's performance across all scenarios. Such models are valuable for simulating EV behavior and analyzing mixed autonomy traffic dynamics in EV integrated environments.
Comparing Disciplinary Classifications in SSH: Organizational, Channel-Based, and Text-Based Perspectives
Venue: arXiv cs.DL 2025
Year: 2025

This study investigates how different approaches to disciplinary classification represent the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) in the Flemish VABB-SHW database. We compare organizational classification (based on author affiliation), channel-based cognitive classification (based on publication venues), and text-based publication-level classification (using channel titles, publication titles, and abstracts, depending on availability). The analysis shows that text-based classification generally aligns more closely with channel-based categories, confirming that the channel choice provides relevant information about publication content. At the same time, it is closer to organizational classification than channel-based categories are, suggesting that textual features capture author affiliations more directly than publishing channels do. Comparison across the three systems highlights cases of convergence and divergence, offering insights into how disciplines such as "Sociology" and "History" extend across fields, while "Law" remains more contained. Publication-level classification also clarifies the disciplinary profiles of multidisciplinary journals in the database, which in VABB-SHW show distinctive profiles with stronger emphases on SSH and health sciences. At the journal level, fewer than half of outlets with more than 50 publications have their channel-level classification fully or partially supported by more than 90% of publications. These results demonstrate the added value of text-based methods for validating classifications and for analysing disciplinary dynamics.
Fixed Point Neural Acceleration and Inverse Surrogate Model for Battery Parameter Identification
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

The rapid expansion of electric vehicles has intensified the need for accurate and efficient diagnosis of lithium-ion batteries. Parameter identification of electrochemical battery models is widely recognized as a powerful method for battery health assessment. However, conventional metaheuristic approaches suffer from high computational cost and slow convergence, and recent machine learning methods are limited by their reliance on constant current data, which may not be available in practice. To overcome these challenges, we propose deep learning-based framework for parameter identification of electrochemical battery models. The proposed framework combines a neural surrogate model of the single particle model with electrolyte (NeuralSPMe) and a deep learning-based fixed-point iteration method. NeuralSPMe is trained on realistic EV load profiles to accurately predict lithium concentration dynamics under dynamic operating conditions while a parameter update network (PUNet) performs fixed-point iterative updates to significantly reduce both the evaluation time per sample and the overall number of iterations required for convergence. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the proposed framework accelerates the parameter identification by more than 2000 times, achieves superior sample efficiency and more than 10 times higher accuracy compared to conventional metaheuristic algorithms, particularly under dynamic load scenarios encountered in practical applications.
Monitoring and Observability of Machine Learning Systems: Current Practices and Gaps
Venue: arXiv cs.SE 2025
Year: 2025

Production machine learning (ML) systems fail silently -- not with crashes, but through wrong decisions. While observability is recognized as critical for ML operations, there is a lack empirical evidence of what practitioners actually capture. This study presents empirical results on ML observability in practice through seven focus group sessions in several domains. We catalog the information practitioners systematically capture across ML systems and their environment and map how they use it to validate models, detect and diagnose faults, and explain observed degradations. Finally, we identify gaps in current practice and outline implications for tooling design and research to establish ML observability practices.
From Observability Data to Diagnosis: An Evolving Multi-agent System for Incident Management in Cloud Systems
Venue: arXiv cs.AI 2025
Year: 2025

Incident management (IM) is central to the reliability of large-scale cloud systems. Yet manual IM, where on-call engineers examine metrics, logs, and traces is labor-intensive and error-prone in the face of massive and heterogeneous observability data. Existing automated IM approaches often struggle to generalize across systems, provide limited interpretability, and incur high deployment costs, which hinders adoption in practice. In this paper, we present OpsAgent, a lightweight, self-evolving multi-agent system for IM that employs a training-free data processor to convert heterogeneous observability data into structured textual descriptions, along with a multi-agent collaboration framework that makes diagnostic inference transparent and auditable. To support continual capability growth, OpsAgent also introduces a dual self-evolution mechanism that integrates internal model updates with external experience accumulation, thereby closing the deployment loop. Comprehensive experiments on the OPENRCA benchmark demonstrate state-of-the-art performance and show that OpsAgent is generalizable, interpretable, cost-efficient, and self-evolving, making it a practically deployable and sustainable solution for long-term operation in real-world cloud systems.
BLM$_1$: A Boundless Large Model for Cross-Space, Cross-Task, and Cross-Embodiment Learning
Venue: arXiv cs.AI 2025
Year: 2025

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have advanced vision-language reasoning and are increasingly deployed in embodied agents. However, significant limitations remain: MLLMs generalize poorly across digital-physical spaces and embodiments; vision-language-action models (VLAs) produce low-level actions yet lack robust high-level embodied reasoning; and most embodied large language models (ELLMs) are constrained to digital-space with poor generalization to the physical world. Thus, unified models that operate seamlessly across digital and physical spaces while generalizing across embodiments and tasks remain absent. We introduce the \textbf{Boundless Large Model (BLM$_1$)}, a multimodal spatial foundation model that preserves instruction following and reasoning, incorporates embodied knowledge, and supports robust cross-embodiment control. BLM$_1$ integrates three key capabilities -- \textit{cross-space transfer, cross-task learning, and cross-embodiment generalization} -- via a two-stage training paradigm. Stage I injects embodied knowledge into the MLLM through curated digital corpora while maintaining language competence. Stage II trains a policy module through an intent-bridging interface that extracts high-level semantics from the MLLM to guide control, without fine-tuning the MLLM backbone. This process is supported by a self-collected cross-embodiment demonstration suite spanning four robot embodiments and six progressively challenging tasks. Evaluations across digital and physical benchmarks show that a single BLM$_1$ instance outperforms four model families -- MLLMs, ELLMs, VLAs, and GMLMs -- achieving $\sim\!\textbf{6%}$ gains in digital tasks and $\sim\!\textbf{3%}$ in physical tasks.
Dynamic Hypersequents for Public Announcement Logic
Venue: arXiv cs.LO 2025
Year: 2025

Dynamic Epistemic Logic extends classical epistemic logic by modeling not only static knowledge but also its evolution through information updates. Among its various systems, Public Announcement Logic (PAL) provides one of the simplest and most studied frameworks for representing epistemic change. While the semantics of PAL is well understood as transformation of Kripke models, the proof theory so far developed fails to represent this dynamism in purely syntactical terms. The aim of this paper is to repair this lack. In particular, building on a hypersequent calculus for S5, we extend it with a mechanism that models the transition between epistemic models induced by public announcements. We call these structures dynamic hypersequents. Using dynamic hypersequents, we construct a calculus for PAL and we show that it enjoys several desirable properties: admissibility of all structural rules (including contraction), invertibility of logical rules, as well as syntactic cut-elimination.
Temporal Knowledge Graph Hyperedge Forecasting: Exploring Entity-to-Category Link Prediction
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Temporal Knowledge Graphs have emerged as a powerful way of not only modeling static relationships between entities but also the dynamics of how relations evolve over time. As these informational structures can be used to store information from a real-world setting, such as a news flow, predicting future graph components to a certain extent equates predicting real-world events. Most of the research in this field focuses on embedding-based methods, often leveraging convolutional neural net architectures. These solutions act as black boxes, limiting insight. In this paper, we explore an extension to an established rule-based framework, TLogic, that yields a high accuracy in combination with explainable predictions. This offers transparency and allows the end-user to critically evaluate the rules applied at the end of the prediction stage. The new rule format incorporates entity category as a key component with the purpose of limiting rule application only to relevant entities. When categories are unknown for building the graph, we propose a data-driven method to generate them with an LLM-based approach. Additionally, we investigate the choice of aggregation method for scores of retrieved entities when performing category prediction.
Enabling Near-realtime Remote Sensing via Satellite-Ground Collaboration of Large Vision-Language Models
Venue: arXiv cs.NI 2025
Year: 2025

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have recently demonstrated great potential in remote sensing (RS) tasks (e.g., disaster monitoring) conducted by low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. However, their deployment in real-world LEO satellite systems remains largely unexplored, hindered by limited onboard computing resources and brief satellite-ground contacts. We propose Grace, a satellite-ground collaborative system designed for near-realtime LVLM inference in RS tasks. Accordingly, we deploy compact LVLM on satellites for realtime inference, but larger ones on ground stations (GSs) to guarantee end-to-end performance. Grace is comprised of two main phases that are asynchronous satellite-GS Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and a task dispatch algorithm. Firstly, we still the knowledge archive of GS RAG to satellite archive with tailored adaptive update algorithm during limited satellite-ground data exchange period. Secondly, propose a confidence-based test algorithm that either processes the task onboard the satellite or offloads it to the GS. Extensive experiments based on real-world satellite orbital data show that Grace reduces the average latency by 76-95% compared to state-of-the-art methods, without compromising inference accuracy.
Abjad AI at NADI 2025: CATT-Whisper: Multimodal Diacritic Restoration Using Text and Speech Representations
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

In this work, we tackle the Diacritic Restoration (DR) task for Arabic dialectal sentences using a multimodal approach that combines both textual and speech information. We propose a model that represents the text modality using an encoder extracted from our own pre-trained model named CATT. The speech component is handled by the encoder module of the OpenAI Whisper base model. Our solution is designed following two integration strategies. The former consists of fusing the speech tokens with the input at an early stage, where the 1500 frames of the audio segment are averaged over 10 consecutive frames, resulting in 150 speech tokens. To ensure embedding compatibility, these averaged tokens are processed through a linear projection layer prior to merging them with the text tokens. Contextual encoding is guaranteed by the CATT encoder module. The latter strategy relies on cross-attention, where text and speech embeddings are fused. The cross-attention output is then fed to the CATT classification head for token-level diacritic prediction. To further improve model robustness, we randomly deactivate the speech input during training, allowing the model to perform well with or without speech. Our experiments show that the proposed approach achieves a word error rate (WER) of 0.25 and a character error rate (CER) of 0.9 on the development set. On the test set, our model achieved WER and CER scores of 0.55 and 0.13, respectively.
From Memorization to Reasoning in the Spectrum of Loss Curvature
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

We characterize how memorization is represented in transformer models and show that it can be disentangled in the weights of both language models (LMs) and vision transformers (ViTs) using a decomposition based on the loss landscape curvature. This insight is based on prior theoretical and empirical work showing that the curvature for memorized training points is much sharper than non memorized, meaning ordering weight components from high to low curvature can reveal a distinction without explicit labels. This motivates a weight editing procedure that suppresses far more recitation of untargeted memorized data more effectively than a recent unlearning method (BalancedSubnet), while maintaining lower perplexity. Since the basis of curvature has a natural interpretation for shared structure in model weights, we analyze the editing procedure extensively on its effect on downstream tasks in LMs, and find that fact retrieval and arithmetic are specifically and consistently negatively affected, even though open book fact retrieval and general logical reasoning is conserved. We posit these tasks rely heavily on specialized directions in weight space rather than general purpose mechanisms, regardless of whether those individual datapoints are memorized. We support this by showing a correspondence between task data's activation strength with low curvature components that we edit out, and the drop in task performance after the edit. Our work enhances the understanding of memorization in neural networks with practical applications towards removing it, and provides evidence for idiosyncratic, narrowly-used structures involved in solving tasks like math and fact retrieval.
Developer Productivity with GenAI
Venue: arXiv cs.SE 2025
Year: 2025

Generative AI (GenAI) tools are increasingly being adopted in software development as productivity aids. However, evidence regarding where and when these tools actually enhance productivity is unclear. In this paper, we investigate how GenAI adoption affects different dimensions of developer productivity. We surveyed 415 software practitioners to capture their perceptions of productivity changes associated with AI-assisted development using the SPACE framework - Satisfaction and well-being, Performance, Activity, Communication and collaboration, and Efficiency and flow. Our results, disaggregated by frequency of AI usage, reveal limited overall productivity change, highlighting the productivity paradox in which developers become faster but do not necessarily create better software or feel more fulfilled.
Training-free Source Attribution of AI-generated Images via Resynthesis
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Synthetic image source attribution is a challenging task, especially in data scarcity conditions requiring few-shot or zero-shot classification capabilities. We present a new training-free one-shot attribution method based on image resynthesis. A prompt describing the image under analysis is generated, then it is used to resynthesize the image with all the candidate sources. The image is attributed to the model which produced the resynthesis closest to the original image in a proper feature space. We also introduce a new dataset for synthetic image attribution consisting of face images from commercial and open-source text-to-image generators. The dataset provides a challenging attribution framework, useful for developing new attribution models and testing their capabilities on different generative architectures. The dataset structure allows to test approaches based on resynthesis and to compare them to few-shot methods. Results from state-of-the-art few-shot approaches and other baselines show that the proposed resynthesis method outperforms existing techniques when only a few samples are available for training or fine-tuning. The experiments also demonstrate that the new dataset is a challenging one and represents a valuable benchmark for developing and evaluating future few-shot and zero-shot methods.
Investigating Intra-Abstraction Policies For Non-exact Abstraction Algorithms
Venue: arXiv cs.AI 2025
Year: 2025

One weakness of Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is its sample efficiency which can be addressed by building and using state and/or action abstractions in parallel to the tree search such that information can be shared among nodes of the same layer. The primary usage of abstractions for MCTS is to enhance the Upper Confidence Bound (UCB) value during the tree policy by aggregating visits and returns of an abstract node. However, this direct usage of abstractions does not take the case into account where multiple actions with the same parent might be in the same abstract node, as these would then all have the same UCB value, thus requiring a tiebreak rule. In state-of-the-art abstraction algorithms such as pruned On the Go Abstractions (pruned OGA), this case has not been noticed, and a random tiebreak rule was implicitly chosen. In this paper, we propose and empirically evaluate several alternative intra-abstraction policies, several of which outperform the random policy across a majority of environments and parameter settings.
Odyssey: An End-to-End System for Pareto-Optimal Serverless Query Processing
Venue: arXiv cs.DB 2025
Year: 2025

Running data analytics queries on serverless (FaaS) workers has been shown to be cost- and performance-efficient for a variety of real-world scenarios, including intermittent query arrival patterns, sudden load spikes and management challenges that afflict managed VM clusters. Alas, existing serverless data analytics works focus primarily on the serverless execution engine and assume the existence of a "good" query execution plan or rely on user guidance to construct such a plan. Meanwhile, even simple analytics queries on serverless have a huge space of possible plans, with vast differences in both performance and cost among plans. This paper introduces Odyssey, an end-to-end serverless-native data analytics pipeline that integrates a query planner, cost model and execution engine. Odyssey automatically generates and evaluates serverless query plans, utilizing state space pruning heuristics and a novel search algorithm to identify Pareto-optimal plans that balance cost and performance with low latency even for complex queries. Our evaluations demonstrate that Odyssey accurately predicts both monetary cost and latency, and consistently outperforms AWS Athena on cost and/or latency.
Critique-RL: Training Language Models for Critiquing through Two-Stage Reinforcement Learning
Venue: arXiv cs.CL 2025
Year: 2025

Training critiquing language models to assess and provide feedback on model outputs is a promising way to improve LLMs for complex reasoning tasks. However, existing approaches typically rely on stronger supervisors for annotating critique data. To address this, we propose Critique-RL, an online RL approach for developing critiquing language models without stronger supervision. Our approach operates on a two-player paradigm: the actor generates a response, the critic provides feedback, and the actor refines the response accordingly. We first reveal that relying solely on indirect reward signals from the actor's outputs for RL optimization often leads to unsatisfactory critics: while their helpfulness (i.e., providing constructive feedback) improves, the discriminability (i.e., determining whether a response is high-quality or not) remains poor, resulting in marginal performance gains. To overcome this, Critique-RL adopts a two-stage optimization strategy. In stage I, it reinforces the discriminability of the critic with direct rule-based reward signals; in stage II, it introduces indirect rewards based on actor refinement to improve the critic's helpfulness, while maintaining its discriminability via appropriate regularization. Extensive experiments across various tasks and models show that Critique-RL delivers substantial performance improvements. For example, it achieves a 9.02% gain on in-domain tasks and a 5.70% gain on out-of-domain tasks for Qwen2.5-7B, highlighting its potential.
What do vision-language models see in the context? Investigating multimodal in-context learning
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

In-context learning (ICL) enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to learn tasks from demonstration examples without parameter updates. Although it has been extensively studied in LLMs, its effectiveness in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) remains underexplored. In this work, we present a systematic study of ICL in VLMs, evaluating seven models spanning four architectures on three image captioning benchmarks. We analyze how prompt design, architectural choices, and training strategies influence multimodal ICL. To our knowledge, we are the first to analyze how attention patterns in VLMs vary with an increasing number of in-context demonstrations. Our results reveal that training on imag-text interleaved data enhances ICL performance but does not imply effective integration of visual and textual information from demonstration examples. In contrast, instruction tuning improves instruction-following but can reduce reliance on in-context demonstrations, suggesting a trade-off between instruction alignment and in-context adaptation. Attention analyses further show that current VLMs primarily focus on textual cues and fail to leverage visual information, suggesting a limited capacity for multimodal integration. These findings highlight key limitations in the ICL abilities of current VLMs and provide insights for enhancing their ability to learn from multimodal in-context examples.
