Hybrid-Adaptive Thread Tuning to Mitigate Simulation Execution Bottlenecks in High-Performance Reinforcement Learning Inference

arXiv:2608. 06025v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In simulation-in-the-loop decision-making systems, reinforcement learning (RL) inference is often constrained by simulator-side execution overhead, where workloads are highly dynamic and sensitive to runtime thread configurations.

BioKD: Selective Physiology-to-Video Knowledge Distillation via Reliability Gate for Emotion Recognition

arXiv:2608. 06023v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To address the limitations of video-based emotion recognition under ambiguous or socially masked behavioral cues, as well as the poor deployability of physiological signals, this paper proposes a reliability-aware physiology-to-video knowledge distillation framework, termed BioKD.
