The paper introduces Embodied Semantic Communication (ESC), a new paradigm that redefines information transmission for autonomous agents by embedding multimodal perceptual states, hardware capabilities, and collaborative intents into unified, action‑oriented semantic representations. ESC enables heterogeneous agents to parse, align, and ground shared information directly into local motor control, addressing the limitations of traditional communication approaches that focus solely on bit delivery or single‑task optimization. The tutorial outlines ESC’s conceptual boundaries, system characteristics, and technical pathways, mapping relevant mathematical tools such as semantic information theory, world models, and multi‑agent decision theory, and concludes with a roadmap of open challenges like semantic reliability, dynamic interaction, and bandwidth‑adaptive transmission.
arXiv:2607. 06651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) over mobile and edge devices increasingly involves multimodal models in which clients differ in both sensing capability and computational capacity.
The paper investigates the environmental impact of running large language models (LLMs) on mobile devices. It evaluates 18 different LLM configurations on two smartphones and a server, measuring energy per token, latency, accuracy, and battery-cycle consumption. Findings reveal that on-device inference is about three times less energy‑efficient than batched server inference, that energy consumption varies non‑monotonically with quantization bit‑width, and that most models are not on the Pareto front of accuracy and energy efficiency. The study concludes that local AI is not inherently more sustainable than cloud inference, with the majority of environmental impact stemming from device embodied carbon.
The paper presents an autonomous agent that designs machine learning algorithms for wireless power control, eliminating manual specification of architecture, loss, and training details. Using an autoresearch protocol, the agent iteratively edits a training script, runs experiments, and evaluates changes against a single metric, ultimately achieving 99.5% of a reference solution with vastly reduced inference cost. The agent’s discovered output parameterization matches the exact max‑min‑optimal allocation at the minimum percentile for all trained weights, demonstrating a principled, scalable approach to a complex, NP‑hard problem.
