Resilient UAV Swarm with Fast Connectivity Recovery and Extensive Coverage

To address partial node failures in unmanned aerial vehicle swarms, self-healing communication techniques are commonly employed to restore backbone connectivity while preserving area coverage. However, existing heuristic methods struggle to scale under large-scale failures and dynamic conditions, while learning-based approaches often suffer from spatial collapse, resulting in significant coverage loss. To overcome these limitations, we propose a resilient self-healing framework that enables rapid connectivity recovery and wide-area coverage through a divide-and-conquer strategy. First, we introduce a buffered dynamic virtual force expansion mechanism that categorizes pairwise distances into repulsive, neutral, and attractive zones, allowing nodes to disperse appropriately while preserving communication links and maintaining safety buffers. Subsequently, we design a multipartite graph convolution module to reason over subnetwork-level interactions and facilitate cross-subnetwork reconnection with global structural awareness. Finally, we develop an adaptive fusion strategy that combines both outputs with time-aware weighting to generate the final motion decisions. Experimental results in both random and uniform deployment scenarios demonstrate that our approach outperforms many state-of-the-art methods in terms of connectivity restoration speed and communication coverage.

The swift progress of Multi-modal Large Models (MLLMs) has showcased their impressive ability to tackle tasks blending vision and language. Yet, most current models and benchmarks cater to scenarios with a narrow scope of visual and textual contexts. These models often fall short when faced with complex comprehension tasks, which involve navigating through a plethora of irrelevant and potentially misleading information in both text and image forms. To bridge this gap, we introduce a new, more demanding task known as Interleaved Image-Text Comprehension (IITC). This task challenges models to discern and disregard superfluous elements in both images and text to accurately answer questions and to follow intricate instructions to pinpoint the relevant image. In support of this task, we further craft a new VEGA dataset, tailored for the IITC task on scientific content, and devised a subtask, Image-Text Association (ITA), to refine image-text correlation skills. Our evaluation of four leading closed-source models, as well as various open-source models using VEGA, underscores the rigorous nature of IITC. Even the most advanced models, such as Gemini-1.5-pro and GPT4V, only achieved modest success. By employing a multi-task, multi-scale post-training strategy, we have set a robust baseline for MLLMs on the IITC task, attaining an $85.8\%$ accuracy rate in image association and a $0.508$ Rouge score. These results validate the effectiveness of our dataset in improving MLLMs capabilities for nuanced image-text comprehension.

In recent years, there has been increasing attention on the capabilities of large-scale models, particularly in handling complex tasks that small-scale models are unable to perform. Notably, large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated ``intelligent'' abilities such as complex reasoning and abstract language comprehension, reflecting cognitive-like behaviors. However, current research on emergent abilities in large models predominantly focuses on the relationship between model performance and size, leaving a significant gap in the systematic quantitative analysis of the internal structures and mechanisms driving these emergent abilities. Drawing inspiration from neuroscience research on brain network structure and self-organization, we propose (i) a general network representation of large models, (ii) a new analytical framework — *Neuron-based Multifractal Analysis (NeuroMFA)* - for structural analysis, and (iii) a novel structure-based metric as a proxy for emergent abilities of large models. By linking structural features to the capabilities of large models, *NeuroMFA* provides a quantitative framework for analyzing emergent phenomena in large models. Our experiments show that the proposed method yields a comprehensive measure of the network's evolving heterogeneity and organization, offering theoretical foundations and a new perspective for investigating emergence in large models.

On Strengthening and Defending Graph Reconstruction Attack with Markov Chain Approximation

Although powerful graph neural networks (GNNs) have boosted numerous real-world applications, the potential privacy risk is still underexplored. To close this gap, we perform the first comprehensive study of graph reconstruction attack that aims to reconstruct the adjacency of nodes. We show that a range of factors in GNNs can lead to the surprising leakage of private links. Especially by taking GNNs as a Markov chain and attacking GNNs via a flexible chain approximation, we systematically explore the underneath principles of graph reconstruction attack, and propose two information theory-guided mechanisms: (1) the chain-based attack method with adaptive designs for extracting more private information; (2) the chain-based defense method that sharply reduces the attack fidelity with moderate accuracy loss. Such two objectives disclose a critical belief that to recover better in attack, you must extract more multi-aspect knowledge from the trained GNN; while to learn safer for defense, you must forget more link-sensitive information in training GNNs. Empirically, we achieve state-of-the-art results on six datasets and three common GNNs. The code is publicly available at: https: //github. com/tmlr-group/MC-GRA.
