Abstract

Compromised UAV reporters can poison latency telemetry and attract offloaded tasks to degraded servers. We present FleetGuard, an identity-capped conformal offloader for local, edge, and cloud execution. With equal buffers of m scores and a cap of K compromised identities, a Km rank correction retains one-sided fixed-level coverage without an honest-reporter majority. A deterministic repair scheduler allocates task-specific risk under fleet, capacity, and deadline constraints. Heavy-tailed simulations with eight reporters, four edges, 30 independent seeds, and 20 batches per seed and condition yield 2.08% deadline misses under seven low-score compromised reporters (95% clustered interval: 1.94-2.24%), compared with approximately 9.6% for pooled conformal, reporter-median, and mean rules. FleetGuard saves 22.3% energy over fixed-risk BRC and approaches adaptive exact assignment within 1.1%, with 2.6x lower mean scheduling time.

A bifidelity sparse-grid surrogate model driven by a discrepancy indicator

Sparse-grid approximations based on Lagrange polynomials are one of the staple methods for approximating functions that are high-dimensional and expensive to evaluate, e.g. in the context of PDE-based parametric design exploration. They are, however, known to have limited granularity: refining these sparse-grid approximations may require multiple additional function evaluations, potentially leading to computational inefficiency. To address this issue, we propose a selection criterion for the candidate collocation points introduced by the refinement procedure: the function is evaluated only at those points for which a suitable (and crucially zero-cost) discrepancy indicator suggests that the additional evaluation would significantly change the resulting approximation. The remaining collocation points are instead assigned values predicted by the already available sparse-grid approximation, i.e., following a bifidelity approach that reduces costs while preserving accuracy. The effectiveness of this methodology is demonstrated on several benchmark functions and on an engineering application concerning flashback phenomena in hydrogen-fueled perforated burners.

FinTradeBench: A Financial Reasoning Benchmark for LLMs

Financial analysis requires reasoning over heterogeneous signals, including company fundamentals from regulatory filings and trading signals derived from market prices. However, existing financial benchmarks focus almost exclusively on regulatory filings, neglecting market dynamics and cross-signal interactions. We introduce FinTradeBench, a benchmark of 1,400 questions covering NASDAQ-100 stocks over a ten-year window. To holistically evaluate financial reasoning, FinTradeBench includes questions in three reasoning categories: fundamentals-focused, trading-signal-focused, and hybrid questions that require cross-signal reasoning. Our benchmark starts with 150 expert-authored seed questions, which are then scaled to 1400. To ensure reliable evaluation, we create a Core400 subset in which every item is expert-reviewed. In zero-shot (No-RAG) response generation, we observe that all models perform substantially worse on trading-focused questions compared to fundamental-focused questions. To identify failure causes, we evaluate LLMs under controlled settings including retrieval-based baselines, tool-assisted computation, oracle conditions, and time-series-specialized pipelines. LLMs' capabilities to do computation and evidence selection contribute most to reasoning failures. Additionally, retrieval significantly improves trading-signal reasoning but does not improve fundamental reasoning, where identifying relevant signals remains the dominant failure mode. Finally, rather than relying on a small, fine-tuned model for time-series reasoning, it is better to summarize the time-series data and leverage LLMs' reasoning capabilities.

Non-linear mechanical field reconstruction coupling recurrent neural networks with physics-informed graph neural networks

Reconstructing local stress fields in heterogeneous microstructures under non-linear, history-dependent loading remains a major computational bottleneck in multi-scale simulations. We propose a coupled LSTM-GNN framework that links the temporal and spatial aspects of local stress field reconstruction. A Long Short-Term Memory network encodes macroscopic stress-strain sequences into a compact hidden state that captures the path-dependent constitutive response, while a physics-informed Graph Neural Network reconstructs the spatially-resolved stress field at each time step. We introduce a relative weighting strategy with linear warm-up to balance the data-driven reconstruction loss and a discrete divergence-based equilibrium penalty. This resolves the scale mismatch that prevents fixed-weight formulations from converging in the elasto-plastic regime. The model is trained on 10,000 non-proportional loading paths applied to a periodic plate-with-a-hole microstructure and von Mises elasto-plasticity. The model achieves three orders of magnitude speedup over finite element simulations and generalizes to loading sequences twice the training length, with 1.9% cumulative error. Because the graph relies on mesh connectivity instead of the specific element type, one trained surrogate can be applied directly without retraining to meshes with different element types and to both coarser and finer resolutions, while in all cases reproducing the high-fidelity quad-element FE field used during training. Indeed, the message passing characteristics inherent to GNN and MeshGraphNet architecture render the model mesh-agnostic. Analysis of the LSTM hidden states suggests a low-dimensional structure related to the internal state variables of the constitutive model.
