Denial of Deadline: Network-Driven Accuracy Collapse in Distributed Inference Pipelines

arXiv:2607. 24692v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inference systems increasingly combine a fast path that returns predictions within the application's latency deadline together with a higher-accuracy slow path that runs higher-compute methods on stronger, remote hardware, so its results can be returned on time and combined with the fast path predictions.

AutoMat: Enabling Automated Crystal Structure Reconstruction from Microscopy via Agentic Tool Use

arXiv:2505. 12650v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reconstructing atomistic crystal structures from a single noisy STEM projection is an ill-posed inverse problem: multiple lattices can explain similar contrast, and purely feed-forward models cannot verify physical validity.

GNN-based Multi-Agent Control of Traffic Shockwaves in Sparse Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks

arXiv:2607. 23792v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traffic shockwaves are stop-and-go waves that propagate upstream through the streams of vehicles and are one of the major causes of traffic congestion, fuel inefficiency, and increased accident rates in modern transportation systems.

A corrective agentic hybrid RAG and an operations-grounded evaluation for a scientific facility

arXiv:2607. 24663v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific user facilities accumulate decades of operational knowledge that no single search index covers: electronic logbooks, technical documents, internal wikis, operations chat messages, maintenance records, and live control-system data.
