Abstract

Production log analytics in self-hosted, resource-constrained environments requires natural-language access to massive log streams without the cost of routing every query through a large language model. We present LogRouter, an end-to-end log question-answering system deployed on TUBITAK BILGEM's national big data platform that combines a PySpark-based Drain3 ingestion pipeline, GPU-accelerated embeddings, and dual-index storage in Apache Druid and PostgreSQL with pgvector. A two-level cost-aware router dispatches each query along one of four execution paths: direct response, Druid keyword search, template lookup with SQL generation, and pgvector semantic retrieval, while a Level-2 router selects either a 14B-class or 32B-class generator for the semantic path. A dedicated coder LLM handles text-to-SQL generation. We evaluate the system on four LogHub datasets (Linux, Apache, Windows, and Mac; 70 questions in total) under both an online full-pipeline configuration and an offline configuration that isolates the generator. The router reaches 88.4% mean accuracy across datasets and 94.7% on Linux, while the full pipeline attains a mean ROUGE-1 of 0.373, BERTScore of 0.879, RAGAS Faithfulness of 0.779, and an end-to-end latency of 18.6 s. In an apples-to-apples offline comparison, the routed system reduces mean latency by 55% versus a Fixed-32B baseline (46.3 s vs. 102.1 s) while preserving Answer Correctness within 5.8 points and exceeding a Fixed-14B baseline on RAGAS Faithfulness across every dataset. Cost-aware dispatching is therefore a practical mechanism for production log QA: routing recovers most of the quality of an always-32B configuration at less than half the latency, and the L1 keyword vocabulary makes that routing decision with high precision without a learned classifier.

Random Polytope Descriptors

We introduce a class of random polytopes which simultaneously generalizes several known constructions. While being fairly general, these polytopes are also computationally exceptionally benign. We indicate how these properties can be exploited for classification and clustering tasks in data analysis. Crucially, our construction lets users smoothly trade off between a tighter description of the data and faster computation.

CurvFed: Curvature-Aligned Federated Learning for Fairness without Demographics

Modern human sensing applications often rely on data distributed across users and devices, where privacy concerns prevent centralized training. Federated Learning (FL) addresses this challenge by enabling collaborative model training without exposing raw data or attributes. However, achieving fairness in such settings remains difficult, as most human sensing datasets lack demographic labels, and FL's privacy guarantees limit the use of sensitive attributes. This paper introduces CurvFed: Curvature Aligned Federated Learning for Fairness without Demographics, a theoretically grounded framework that promotes fairness in FL without requiring any demographic or sensitive attribute information, a concept termed Fairness without Demographics (FWD), by optimizing the underlying loss landscape curvature. Building on the theory that equivalent loss landscape curvature corresponds to consistent model efficacy across sensitive attribute groups, CurvFed regularizes the top eigenvalue of the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) as an efficient proxy for loss landscape curvature, both within and across clients. This alignment promotes uniform model behavior across diverse bias inducing factors, offering an attribute agnostic route to algorithmic fairness. CurvFed is especially suitable for real world human sensing FL scenarios involving single or multi user edge devices with unknown or multiple bias factors. We validated CurvFed through theoretical and empirical justifications, as well as comprehensive evaluations using three real world datasets and a deployment on a heterogeneous testbed of resource constrained devices. Additionally, we conduct sensitivity analyses on local training data volume, client sampling, communication overhead, resource costs, and runtime performance to demonstrate its feasibility for practical FL edge device deployment.

Path Regularization: A Near-Complete and Optimal Nonasymptotic Generalization Theory for Multilayer Neural Networks and Double Descent Phenomenon

Path regularization has shown to be a very effective regularization to train neural networks, leading to a better generalization property than common regularizations i.e. weight decay, etc. We propose a first near-complete (as will be made explicit in the main text) nonasymptotic generalization theory for multilayer neural networks with path regularizations for general learning problems. In particular, it does not require the boundedness of the loss function, as is commonly assumed in the literature. Our theory goes beyond the bias-variance tradeoff and aligns with phenomena typically encountered in deep learning. It is therefore sharply different from other existing nonasymptotic generalization error bounds. More explicitly, we propose an explicit generalization error upper bound for multilayer neural networks with $σ(0)=0$ and sufficiently broad Lipschitz loss functions, without requiring the width, depth, or other hyperparameters of the neural network to approach infinity, a specific neural network architecture (e.g., sparsity), or boundedness of the loss function, while also taking approximation error into consideration. In particular, we solve an open problem proposed by Weinan E et. al. in 2020 regarding the approximation rates in generalized Barron spaces. Furthermore, we show the near-minimax optimality of our theory for regression problems with ReLU activations. Notably, our upper bound exhibits the famous double descent phenomenon for such networks, which is the most distinguished characteristic compared with other existing results. Our subsequent work will prove the matching lower bounds in the minimax sense, meaning that it is highly possible that our theory reveals the true underlying mechanism of the double descent phenomenon. We can also explain scaling law from this theory.
