CPR-IE:A Compression-Prediction-Resource Intelligence Efficiency Metric

The paper introduces CPR‑IE, a metric that orders intelligent systems by representational economy, predictive quality, and resource burden. It formalizes how raw resource consumption is represented and aggregated, showing that proportional‑increment composition yields logarithmic cumulative burden and context‑independent ratio responses produce power relationships among compression, prediction, and burden. The authors prove properties such as Pareto consistency, unit invariance, and ranking stability, and provide a translog parent model to make interaction restrictions explicit, along with guarantees on ranking and regret bounds.

A Mathematical Theory of Pragmatic Information

The paper introduces a pragmatic information theory that unifies communication, control, and decision-making through the isoteleia mapping, which formalizes equifinality by treating distinct semantic paths that lead to the same optimal action as pragmatically equivalent. It establishes a three-tier hierarchy of syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic information, defines pragmatic entropy, mutual information, channel capacity, and rate-distortion, and proves coding theorems that generalize Shannon’s results. The authors also present pragmatic value and cost of information, a Lagrangian dual framework for cross-layer optimization, and a pragmatic efficiency bound that quantifies the maximum net utility for resource-constrained intelligent systems, extending the theory to continuous messages and dynamic settings.

Edge-AI-Driven Learning-to-Rank for Decentralized Task Allocation in Circular Smart Manufacturing

The paper presents an Edge-AI-driven decentralized task‑allocation framework for circular smart manufacturing. It combines a resource‑aware heuristic, a regression‑based Edge‑AI bid approximation, and a compact autoencoder‑regularized pairwise ranking model to evaluate tasks at the machine level. Simulation results show that the ranking method improves task completion, reduces tardiness and deadline misses, and lowers energy per completed task compared to the heuristic baseline.

A Layer Importance Metric for Quantization Accounting for the Speed-Quality Trade-off in Autoregressive Models

The paper introduces a composite metric for quantizing small language models that balances information retention and throughput gains, using a normalized SQNR-based coefficient and roofline-based latency analysis. Profiling Gemma 3 1B shows that Feed‑Forward Network blocks and the embedding matrix are prime candidates for acceleration, with the metric enabling tuning of speed‑quality trade‑offs without actual execution. The authors demonstrate that their estimates predict accelerated speedup within about 4% error and allocate resources more effectively than evolutionary search or Shapley‑value methods.

One Spectrum, Two Resources: Data-Memory Scaling in Autoregressive Prediction

The paper investigates how much learned memory is required to leverage additional data in autoregressive prediction models. It introduces a predictive‑energy spectrum that jointly governs data and memory scaling, proving a minimax law that links the number of prediction blocks and the size of the learned state to this spectrum. The authors demonstrate that optimal bit allocation and masked query‑key attention mechanisms realize this law, and they provide experimental evidence across multiple pretrained‑model scales.

Optimizing AI Inference Across the Deployment Stack

The paper argues that AI deployment performance depends on interactions among compression, compiler transformations, and serving policies rather than just model architecture. It introduces a three‑layer taxonomy—model‑level techniques, compiler transformations, and system policies—and frames deployment as a constrained multi‑objective optimization problem over accuracy, latency, throughput, memory footprint, and energy. The authors propose an evidence protocol for comparable benchmarking and synthesize data from edge and data‑center platforms to show that cross‑layer interactions drive deployment outcomes, concluding with a constraint‑aware selection procedure and open research problems.
