PTC-Decoder: Towards Intelligent SLMs on Offline Resource-Constrained Edge Devices

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces PTC-Decoder, a training‑free, plug‑and‑play decoder designed to improve the reliability of small language models (SLMs) on offline, resource‑constrained edge devices such as remote sensing satellites. PTC-Decoder combines a Plan‑to‑Act paradigm that forces the model to invoke a planning tool at the first inference step with a deterministic finite automaton (TC‑Decoder) that imposes token‑level hard constraints on tool names while preserving the model’s reasoning capability. Evaluated on 200 real satellite tasks across seven SLMs, the approach achieves a statistically significant mean overall score gain of +1.21, with the TC‑Decoder component identified as the primary contributor to performance gains.

SimCRAFT: Distilling Remote Sensing Agents via Synthetic Trajectories and Contextual Retrieval-Augmented Fine-Tuning

SimCRAFT is a model‑agnostic framework that distills remote sensing orchestration into a compact 7B‑scale model. It creates a large, constraint‑validated workflow planning corpus (SimRS‑14k) using a multi‑agent synthesis engine and a Mock Execution Engine, then fine‑tunes the model with Contextual Retrieval‑Augmented Fine‑Tuning (CRAFT) to reason analogically. Experiments show SimCRAFT‑7B outperforms open‑weight LLMs and rivals advanced closed‑source models, providing a lightweight, efficient baseline for autonomous remote sensing deployment.

CRAFT: Fine-Tuning Pre-hoc Explainability in AI-native 6G RAN

The paper introduces CRAFT, a data‑centric fine‑tuning approach that aligns small language models (SLMs) for pre‑hoc reasoning in AI‑native 6G radio access networks (RAN). By automatically generating verified (input, trace, label) triplets and fine‑tuning with low‑rank adaptation, CRAFT achieves high accuracy and F1 scores on TRACTOR and IC xApp datasets while avoiding parse failures that plague RL methods like GRPO. It also reduces energy consumption by 59% compared to GRPO baselines, offering a more sustainable path to auditable AI in 6G RAN.
