DynaDebate: Breaking Homogeneity in Multi-Agent Debate with Dynamic Path Generation

Recent years have witnessed the rapid development of Large Language Model-based Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), which excel at collaborative decision-making and complex problem-solving. Recently, researchers have further investigated Multi-Agent Debate (MAD) frameworks, which enhance the reasoning and collaboration capabilities of MAS through information exchange and debate among multiple agents. However, existing approaches often rely on unguided initialization, causing agents to adopt identical reasoning paths that lead to the same errors. As a result, effective debate among agents is hindered, and the final outcome frequently degenerates into simple majority voting. To solve the above problem, in this paper, we introduce Dynamic Multi-Agent Debate (DynaDebate), which enhances the effectiveness of multi-agent debate through three key mechanisms: (1) Dynamic Path Generation and Allocation, which employs a dedicated Path Generation Agent to generate diverse and logical solution paths with adaptive redundancy; (2) Process-Centric Debate, which shifts the focus from surface-level outcome voting to rigorous step-by-step logic critique to ensure process correctness; (3) A Trigger-Based Verification Agent, which is activated upon disagreement and uses external tools to objectively resolve deadlocks. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DynaDebate achieves superior performance across various benchmarks, surpassing existing state-of-the-art MAD methods.

FedFrozen: Two-Stage Federated Optimization via Attention Kernel Freezing

Federated learning with heterogeneous clients remains a significant challenge for deep learning, primarily due to client drift arising from inconsistent local updates. Existing federated optimization methods typically address this issue through objective-level regularization or update-correction mechanisms. Recent studies, however, suggest that Transformer-based architectures may be inherently more robust than conventional models under heterogeneous federated training. Motivated by this observation, we investigate how different parameter components within the attention mechanism influence federated optimization. Specifically, we decompose the attention module into a query/key block, which determines the attention kernel, and a value block, which performs semantic transformation under the induced kernel. Based on this perspective, we propose FedFrozen, a two-stage federated optimization framework that first performs full-model warm-up training and then freezes the query/key block while continuing to optimize the value block. Under a linear-attention formulation, we show that the warm-up stage can be interpreted as an inexact descent procedure on a regularized kernel-profile objective, while the frozen stage reduces to a restricted value-block optimization problem under a fixed attention kernel. Our analysis further reveals an explicit trade-off that governs the choice of warm-up length. Simulations validate the predicted bias-drift behavior, and real-data experiments demonstrate that FedFrozen improves both the stability and effectiveness of Transformer models in heterogeneous federated learning.

Artificial Intelligent Atomic Force Microscope Enabled by Machine Learning

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have promised to revolutionize the way we live and work, and one of particularly promising areas for AI is image analysis. Nevertheless, many current AI applications focus on post-processing of data, while in both materials sciences and medicines, it is often critical to respond to the data acquired on the fly. Here we demonstrate an artificial intelligent atomic force microscope (AI-AFM) that is capable of not only pattern recognition and feature identification in ferroelectric materials and electrochemical systems, but can also respond to classification via adaptive experimentation with additional probing at critical domain walls and grain boundaries, all in real time on the fly without human interference. We believe such a strategy empowered by machine learning is applicable to a wide range of instrumentations and broader physical machineries.
