The Impact of Heatwaves on Population Health: A Large Language Model-Enhanced Agent-Based Simulation

Extreme heat events are increasing in frequency and intensity under climate change, but the socio-behavioral mechanisms that shape community resilience remain insufficiently understood. This study uses a Large Language Model-enhanced agent-based model to simulate responses to a prolonged heatwave in a virtual society. One hundred heterogeneous agents were assigned a Heat Vulnerability Index based on demographic risk factors and observed over 13 simulated days covering baseline, heatwave, and recovery periods. The simulation shows that heat-related impacts are primarily psychosocial and unequally distributed. Agents with higher vulnerability experienced larger declines in perceived safety and social connection than agents with lower vulnerability. Vulnerability also shaped adaptive capacity. More resilient agents maintained routine self-care and protective behaviors, whereas highly vulnerable agents showed behavioral constriction, marked by reduced engagement in protective actions. At the collective level, risk-information diffusion followed a pattern of complex contagion, with adoption driven more by repeated social reinforcement within cohesive networks than by broad exposure alone. These findings suggest that LLM-enhanced simulation can help identify behavioral and social mechanisms of climate resilience and inform heat-risk interventions that combine targeted support for vulnerable groups with community-based information pathways.

Why Do Aligned LLMs Remain Jailbreakable: Refusal-Escape Directions, Operator-Level Sources, and Safety-Utility Trade-off

Aligned large language models (LLMs) remain vulnerable to jailbreak attacks. Recent mechanistic studies have identified latent features and representation shifts associated with jailbreak success, but they leave a more fundamental question open: why do aligned LLMs remain jailbreakable, and what structural vulnerabilities in the model make this possible? We study this question through a continuous input-transformation view. Our theoretical finding is that aligned models can still exhibit Refusal-Escape Directions (RED): local perturbation directions around a harmful input that shift the model's behavior from refusal to answering while preserving the model's harmful-semantics interpretation. From this perspective, a jailbreak is not only a successful discrete prompt construction, but can also be understood as a refusal-to-answer behavior transition induced by continuously perturbing a harmful input along RED. We then prove that RED can be exactly decomposed into contributions from operator-level sources across the model's operator structure, and identify normalization, residual-wiring, and terminal sources as analytically constrained operator-level sources. To eliminate RED, the shared expressive modules -- self-attention and MLP -- must eliminate the contributions from these analytically constrained sources while preserving the mechanisms that support benign responses. These competing requirements give rise to a conditional safety-utility trade-off. Experiments across multiple models and attack methods empirically analyze RED from two complementary perspectives and show that added token dimensions can expose RED, while successful jailbreaks exhibit refusal-to-answer shifts largely aligned with terminal-source contributions.

PREP: Pre-training with Temporal Elapse Inference for Popularity Prediction

Predicting the popularity of online content is a fundamental problem in various applications. One practical challenge takes roots in the varying length of observation time or prediction horizon, i.e., a good model for popularity prediction is desired to handle various prediction settings. However, most existing methods adopt a separate training paradigm for each prediction setting and the obtained model for one setting is difficult to be generalized to others, causing a great waste of computational resources and a large demand for downstream labels. To solve the above issues, we propose a novel pre-training framework for popularity prediction, namely PREP, aiming to pre-train a general representation model from the readily available unlabeled diffusion data, which can be effectively transferred into various prediction settings. We design a novel pretext task for pre-training, i.e., temporal elapse inference for two randomly sampled time slices of popularity dynamics, impelling the representation model to learn intrinsic knowledge about popularity dynamics. Experimental results conducted on two real datasets demonstrate the generalization and efficiency of the pre-training framework for different popularity prediction task settings.

The generalizations of fuzzy monoids and vague monoids

In this paper, we present the fuzzy monoids and vague monoids by using aggregation operators. The unit interval with a $t$-norm or a $t$-conorm is a special monoid, so we mainly talk about fuzzy subsets of monoids. Firstly, the classification of fuzzy sets based on some special aggregation operators is discussed. At the same time, we give two basic propositions about submonoids of $t$-norm and $t$-conorm. The fuzzification by uninorm and nullnorm are denoted and some properties can be drawn. Next, we briefly present fuzzy subsets on lattice. Finally, the vague monoids on aggregation operators are redefined and further consider the special cases of uninorms and nullnorms.

Throughput Maximization Leveraging Just-Enough SNR Margin and Channel Spacing Optimization

Flexible optical network is a promising technology to accommodate high-capacity demands in next-generation networks. To ensure uninterrupted communication, existing lightpath provisioning schemes are mainly done with the assumption of worst-case resource under-provisioning and fixed channel spacing, which preserves an excessive signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) margin. However, under a resource over-provisioning scenario, the excessive SNR margin restricts the transmission bit-rate or transmission reach, leading to physical layer resource waste and stranded transmission capacity. To tackle this challenging problem, we leverage an iterative feedback tuning algorithm to provide a just-enough SNR margin, so as to maximize the network throughput. Specifically, the proposed algorithm is implemented in three steps. First, starting from the high SNR margin setup, we establish an integer linear programming model as well as a heuristic algorithm to maximize the network throughput by solving the problem of routing, modulation format, forward error correction, baud-rate selection, and spectrum assignment. Second, we optimize the channel spacing of the lightpaths obtained from the previous step, thereby increasing the available physical layer resources. Finally, we iteratively reduce the SNR margin of each lightpath until the network throughput cannot be increased. Through numerical simulations, we confirm the throughput improvement in different networks and with different baud-rates. In particular, we find that our algorithm enables over 20\% relative gain when network resource is over-provisioned, compared to the traditional method preserving an excessive SNR margin.
