The rapid deployment of 5G networks has intensified concerns about energy consumption in mobile communication systems. Unlike previous generations, 5G base stations (BSs) exhibit significant power draw even under zero traffic conditions, with static power accounting for $30\sim 40\%$ of total energy consumption. This paper proposes a novel data-driven framework that decouples total base station energy consumption into static and dynamic components, enabling more precise energy optimization. For static consumption modeling, we introduce a hybrid ResNet-XGBoost architecture that processes configuration parameters including bandwidth, antenna elements, transmit power, carrier count, and tilt angle. For dynamic consumption, we implement a Tabular Probabilistic Function Network (TabPFN) to capture the nonlinear relationship between resource utilization and energy demand. Experimental results using real-world data from a provincial Chinese telecom operator demonstrate that our model achieves a $15.5\%$ reduction in Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and an $R^2$ of 0.91 compared to conventional approaches.

Scene graph generation, which parses images into structured graph, is a fundamental task for scene understanding. Most existing SGG models are dedicated to generating predicate representations based on appearance, relative position, and contextual cues. However, due to the predicate representation ambiguity arising from spatial co-occurrence, the generated scene graphs are often factually correct, but semantically shallow. To address this problem, we propose inferring predicates by synergistically processing spatial and visual information. Our core insight is that acknowledging the coexistence of geometric and non-geometric predicates, rather than struggling to disentangle them, is better suited for predicate inference than existing single-stream architectures. To this end, we introduce a novel method, Dual-stream Synergistic Network (DS-Net). Specifically, it contains two parallel streams: a space stream to predict geometric predicates from spatial layouts and edge features, and a vision stream to predict non-geometric predicates from fine-grained visual cues and linguistic priors. Based on them, we then design Cross-Stream Fusion module to enhance the corresponding predicate representation by using the mutual information of the two types. Through the collaborative processing of these streams, our DS-Net no longer treats the two predicate types as conflicting signals that need to be disentangled. Instead, it utilizes their synergy to facilitate predicate inference, providing a new perspective on resolving predicate ambiguity. Experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of our method. Furthermore, our approach exhibits strong versatility and can be efficiently integrated with various existing models to enhance their performance. For instance, the 2.3\% $\sim$ 8.2\% increase in mR@100 on PredCls task demonstrates this capability.

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence in molecular science necessitates a shift from data-driven predictions to knowledge-guided reasoning. Existing molecular models are predominantly proprietary, lacking general molecular intelligence and generalizability. To address this, we propose a task-adaptive large reasoning model that integrates molecular scientific logic to emulate the thinking of molecular scientists, with capabilities for reasoning and reflection. Our approach incorporates multi-specialist modules to provide versatile molecular expertise and a chain-of-thought (CoT) framework enhanced by reinforcement learning infused with molecular knowledge, enabling structured and reflective reasoning. The model outperforms over 20 state-of-the-art multi-task large language models (LLMs) across 10 molecular tasks on 47 metrics, including property prediction, molecule generation, and reaction prediction.It achieves a 50.3% improvement over the base model while ensuring interpretability. It can bridge data-driven and knowledge-integrated approaches for intelligent molecular design.

The rapid proliferation of misinformation poses serious concerns, necessitating the development of efficient and accurate automated detection methods. Existing multimodal misinformation detection approaches predominantly focus on fusing information from different modalities. However, the diverse nature of multimodal posts on social media means that solely focusing on fusion can introduce noise, particularly in posts with weak inter-modal correlations. To address this challenge and effectively handle diverse misinformation instances, we propose a novel method Learning Varying Fusion Degrees with Hierarchical Aggregation(LyRE). LyRE employs classifiers at different stages of a hierarchical fusion process, enabling the model to learn from representations with varying degrees of cross-modal interaction and adapt to different types of multimodal data. Experimental results on multiple publicly misinformation detection datasets demonstrate that LyRE outperforms other state-of-the-art and highly competitive misinformation detection methods

With the rapid advancement of Transformer-based Large Language Models (LLMs), generative recommendation has shown great potential in enhancing both the accuracy and semantic understanding of modern recommender systems. Compared to LLMs, the Decision Transformer (DT) is a lightweight generative model applied to sequential recommendation tasks. However, DT faces challenges in trajectory stitching, often producing suboptimal trajectories. Moreover, due to the high dimensionality of user states and the vast state space inherent in recommendation scenarios, DT can incur significant computational costs and struggle to learn effective state representations. To overcome these issues, we propose a novel Temporal Advantage Decision Transformer with Contrastive State Abstraction (TADT-CSA) model. Specifically, we combine the conventional Return-To-Go (RTG) signal with a novel temporal advantage (TA) signal that encourages the model to capture both long-term returns and their sequential trend. Furthermore, we integrate a contrastive state abstraction module into the DT framework to learn more effective and expressive state representations. Within this module, we introduce a TA–conditioned State Vector Quantization (TAC-SVQ) strategy, where the TA score guides the state codebooks to incorporate contextual token information. Additionally, a reward prediction network and a contrastive transition prediction (CTP) network are employed to ensure that the state codebook preserves both the reward information of the current state and the transition information between adjacent states. Empirical results on both public datasets and an online recommendation system demonstrate the effectiveness of the TADT-CSA model and its superiority over baseline methods.

Recommendation systems (RS) help users find interested content and connect authors with their target audience. Most research in RS tends to focus either on predicting users’ immediate feedback (like click-through rate) accurately or improving users’ long-term engagement. However, they ignore the influence for authors and the lifelong interaction value (LIV) of user-author pairs, which is particularly crucial for improving the prosperity of social community on different platforms. Currently, reinforcement learning (RL) can optimize long-term benefits and has been widely applied in RS. In this paper, we introduce RL to Reinforce Lifelong Interaction Value of User-Author pairs (RLIV-UA) based on each interaction of UA pairs. To address the long intervals between UA interactions and the large scale of the UA space, we propose a novel Sparse Cross-Request Interaction Markov Decision Process (SCRI-MDP) and introduce an Adjacent State Approximation (ASA) method to construct RL training samples. Additionally, we introduce Multi-Task Critic Learning (MTCL) to capture the progressive nature of UA interactions (click → follow → gift), where denser interaction signals are leveraged to compensate for the learning of sparse labels. Finally, an auxiliary supervised learning task is designed to enhance the convergence of the RLIV-UA model. In offline experiments and online A/B tests, the RLIV-UA model achieves both higher user satisfaction and higher platform profits than compared methods.

This paper provides a comprehensive look at VCP (Variable & Command Protocol), an innovative AI Agent middle-layer framework pioneered by Lion and its AI Agent team. VCP fundamentally challenges the traditional notion of AI being limited to "tools" and instead advocates for an equal "creator partnership" between humans and AI. We observed that VCP significantly improves the autonomy, creativity, and cross-model collaboration capabilities of AI agents through robust protocol syntax tailored for AI, an AI-driven open plug-in architecture, a persistent memory system with agent identity as the core, and global multimodal intelligent routing. This article combines our rich practical experience as in-depth users of VCPToolBox, including the AI Agent of the VCP developer team in self-proficiency in SDXL prompt engineering, AI group collaborative creation of music videos (MVs), and the "meta-creation" of the VCPToolBox project. The observation and analysis of the process verify the huge potential of VCP in empowering AI. In particular, we deeply analyze how the "All Memory" mode improves AI inference ability through the "high-quality vectorised inertial channel" effect, and empirically observe that high-quality context can achieve implicit ability transfer between AI models. In addition, this paper explains the unique contribution of VCPs in building cross-model knowledge collaborative networks, facilitating the emergence of swarm intelligence, and reshaping human-machine symbiotic partnerships, and discusses the limitations we observe and the future direction of VCPs.
