HiComm: Hierarchical Communication for Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2606. 29126v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) often relies on communication to mitigate partial observability, yet most existing protocols treat messages as flat dense vectors detached from the structure of the observations they summarize.

SAT-RTS: A systematic framework for tactical knowledge extraction and visualization-based analysis in real-time strategy games

arXiv:2606. 30090v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient tactical knowledge extraction and analysis in real-time strategy (RTS) games micromanagement are constrained by the high-dimensional coupled state-action sequential data and the black-box decision-making process.

Towards Harnessing the Collaborative Power of Large and Small Models for Domain Tasks

arXiv:2504. 17421v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LMs) offer broad generalization capabilities but require vast amounts of data and computational resources for domain-specific tasks; small models (SMs), in contrast, are more efficient and tailored to specific domains yet lack general-purpose coverage.

FinInvest-GTCN: Explainable Graph-Temporal-Causal Modeling for Risk-Aware Investment Decision Optimization

arXiv:2606. 28933v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Venture capital (VC) investment decisions face distinct challenges, such as multi-source heterogeneous data, non-stationary time series, and the demand for explainable predictions in high-stakes, low-data settings.

Robustness and Structure Preservation in Flow-Based Generative Models via Wasserstein Path-Space Divergences

arXiv:2410. 01244v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a novel Wasserstein-1 ($W_1$) path-space divergence for stochastic and deterministic dynamics and establish a Wasserstein Uncertainty Propagation (WUP) theorem that bounds the $W_1$ distance between terminal distributions by the proposed divergence, equivalently characterized by a weighted $L^2$ discrepancy between the underlying drifts and the $W_1$ distance between their initial measures.
