Adaptive Dual-Path Framework for Covert Semantic Communication

This paper proposes a novel adaptive dual-path framework for covert semantic communication (SemCom), which integrates covert information transmission with task-oriented semantic coding. Unlike conventional covert communication methods that embed hidden messages through power-domain signal superposition, our framework embeds covert data within task-specific features via semantic-level intrinsic encoding. This new architecture introduces dual encoding paths with adaptive block selection: an Explicit path for public task execution and a Stego path that jointly encodes both public and covert information through contrastive representation alignment. A Gumbel-Softmax enabled adaptive path selection mechanism dynamically activates network blocks based on task require- ments. We formulate a multi-objective optimization framework that simultaneously ensures accurate semantic understanding and reliable covert transmission. We rigorously evaluate our framework's security against a powerful, independently trained attacker. Experimental results on the Cityscapes dataset demon- strate a state-of-the-art level of covertness: our method suppresses the attacker's detection accuracy to a near-random guessing level of 56.12%. This robust security is achieved while simultaneously maintaining superior performance on the primary semantic tasks compared to the baselines.

Synchronous Differential Hot-charge Emission Spectroscopy: The Principle

Energy-level alignment (ELA) at buried interfaces between electrode and molecular materials sets charge injection barriers, carrier selectivity, and ultimately device efficiency, yet it is challenging to quantify under operating conditions. Hot-charge emission spectroscopy (HotES) probes ELA by injecting ballistic carriers across a tunneling oxide. Yet, the technique inherently convolutes the molecular response with a strong, energy-dependent tunneling background, complicating the isolation of the true ELA. We introduce synchronous differential HotES (sd-HotES), defined as the ratio of the differential conductance of the hot-charge and tunneling channels of the HotES. Physical modeling and numerical simulations validate that this ratio directly reconstructs the intrinsic molecular charge transmission, enabling the threshold-free and probe-bias-insensitive extraction of ELA. By effectively eliminating the masking tunneling background, sd-HotES substantially boosts detection sensitivity; weak spectral features previously hidden in conventional HotES become clearly resolvable, as demonstrated in lock-in simulations including realistic noise. This study establishes the fundamental operating principles of sd-HotES and highlights it as a powerful, broadly applicable strategy for accessing buried interface properties for the study of molecular and hybrid devices.

Training Report of TeleChat3-MoE

TeleChat3-MoE is the latest series of TeleChat large language models, featuring a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with parameter counts ranging from 105 billion to over one trillion,trained end-to-end on Ascend NPU cluster. This technical report mainly presents the underlying training infrastructure that enables reliable and efficient scaling to frontier model sizes. We detail systematic methodologies for operator-level and end-to-end numerical accuracy verification, ensuring consistency across hardware platforms and distributed parallelism strategies. Furthermore, we introduce a suite of performance optimizations, including interleaved pipeline scheduling, attention-aware data scheduling for long-sequence training,hierarchical and overlapped communication for expert parallelism, and DVM-based operator fusion. A systematic parallelization framework, leveraging analytical estimation and integer linear programming, is also proposed to optimize multi-dimensional parallelism configurations. Additionally, we present methodological approaches to cluster-level optimizations, addressing host- and device-bound bottlenecks during large-scale training tasks. These infrastructure advancements yield significant throughput improvements and near-linear scaling on clusters comprising thousands of devices, providing a robust foundation for large-scale language model development on hardware ecosystems.

Flow-Based Control of Marine Robots in Gyre-Like Environments

We present a flow-based control strategy that enables resource-constrained marine robots to patrol gyre-like flow environments on an orbital trajectory with a periodicity in a given range. The controller does not require a detailed model of the flow field and relies only on the robot's location relative to the center of the gyre. Instead of precisely tracking a pre-defined trajectory, the robots are tasked to stay in between two bounding trajectories with known periodicity. Furthermore, the proposed strategy leverages the surrounding flow field to minimize control effort. We prove that the proposed strategy enables robots to cycle in the flow satisfying the desired periodicity requirements. Our method is tested and validated both in simulation and in experiments using a low-cost, underactuated, surface swimming robot, i.e. the Modboat.

Deep Deterministic Information Bottleneck with Matrix-based Entropy Functional

We introduce the matrix-based Renyi's $α$-order entropy functional to parameterize Tishby et al. information bottleneck (IB) principle with a neural network. We term our methodology Deep Deterministic Information Bottleneck (DIB), as it avoids variational inference and distribution assumption. We show that deep neural networks trained with DIB outperform the variational objective counterpart and those that are trained with other forms of regularization, in terms of generalization performance and robustness to adversarial attack.Code available at https://github.com/yuxi120407/DIB

Measuring Dependence with Matrix-based Entropy Functional

Measuring the dependence of data plays a central role in statistics and machine learning. In this work, we summarize and generalize the main idea of existing information-theoretic dependence measures into a higher-level perspective by the Shearer's inequality. Based on our generalization, we then propose two measures, namely the matrix-based normalized total correlation ($T_α^*$) and the matrix-based normalized dual total correlation ($D_α^*$), to quantify the dependence of multiple variables in arbitrary dimensional space, without explicit estimation of the underlying data distributions. We show that our measures are differentiable and statistically more powerful than prevalent ones. We also show the impact of our measures in four different machine learning problems, namely the gene regulatory network inference, the robust machine learning under covariate shift and non-Gaussian noises, the subspace outlier detection, and the understanding of the learning dynamics of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), to demonstrate their utilities, advantages, as well as implications to those problems.

Optimal Event-Driven Multi-Agent Persistent Monitoring of a Finite Set of Targets

We consider the problem of controlling the movement of multiple cooperating agents so as to minimize an uncertainty metric associated with a finite number of targets. In a one-dimensional mission space, we adopt an optimal control framework and show that the solution is reduced to a simpler parametric optimization problem: determining a sequence of locations where each agent may dwell for a finite amount of time and then switch direction. This amounts to a hybrid system which we analyze using Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis (IPA) to obtain a complete on-line solution through an event-driven gradient-based algorithm which is also robust with respect to the uncertainty model used. The resulting controller depends on observing the events required to excite the gradient-based algorithm, which cannot be guaranteed. We solve this problem by proposing a new metric for the objective function which creates a potential field guaranteeing that gradient values are non-zero. This approach is compared to an alternative graph-based task scheduling algorithm for determining an optimal sequence of target visits. Simulation examples are included to demonstrate the proposed methods.
