In this talk, I will first present a unified theoretical framework that jointly optimizes watermark\u003Cbr\u003Edesign and detection, characterizing the fundamental trade-off between detectability, false positive control, and text\u003Cbr\u003Edistortion. While this formulation yields sharp optimality insights, it typically requires the LLM provider to implement\u003Cbr\u003Ethe watermark during generation, which has limited its deployment in practice. I will then discuss the reasons\u003Cbr\u003Ebehind this gap, emphasizing stakeholder incentives and real-world deployment constraints. Motivated by these\u003Cbr\u003Echallenges, I will present in-context watermarking, a model-agnostic approach that embeds detectable signals\u003Cbr\u003Ethrough prompts rather than decoding-time access. This perspective suggests that effective watermarking requires\u003Cbr\u003Enot only strong algorithms, but also incentive-aligned designs tailored to practical domains such as peer review\u003Cbr\u003Eand education.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EYuheng Bu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa\u003Cbr\u003EBarbara.

We systematically study how the degree of\u003Cbr\u003Estochasticity in Markov transitions governs this tradeoff, finding that deterministic transitions converge quickly but\u003Cbr\u003Eaccumulate errors, while stochastic transitions converge more slowly but can achieve better final sample quality.\u003Cbr\u003EThrough an information-theoretic analysis, we show that redundant transitions that symmetrically exchange\u003Cbr\u003Eprobability mass between states can contract sampling errors, providing an error-correcting effect.

Our \u201cfast\u003Cbr\u003Ebeamspace transformation\u201d forms B beams from M sensor outputs using a number of operations per sample that\u003Cbr\u003Escales linearly (to within logarithmic factors) with M when B\u223cM . While the narrowband version of this\u003Cbr\u003Etransformation can be performed efficiently with a spatial fast Fourier transform, the broadband setting requires\u003Cbr\u003Ecoherent processing of multiple array snapshots simultaneously. Our algorithm works by taking N samples off of\u003Cbr\u003Eeach of M sensors and encoding the sensor outputs into a set of coefficients using a special non-uniformly spaced\u003Cbr\u003EFourier transform. From these coefficients, each beam is formed by solving a small system of equations that has\u003Cbr\u003EToeplitz structure. The total runtime complexity is O(M log N + B log N ) operations per sample, exhibiting\u003Cbr\u003Eessentially the same scaling as in the narrowband case. Our method offers significantly higher accuracy and lower\u003Cbr\u003Ecomputational complexity than delay-and-sum filtering techniques and significantly higher accuracy and lower\u003Cbr\u003Elatency than standard frequency- domain techniques based on sub-band processing. An additional benefit of the\u003Cbr\u003Eproposed approach is that it allows for a careful error analysis; we give concrete formulas for the bias and variance\u003Cbr\u003Eof the beamformer given the array parameters. We also provide a host of numerical experiments demonstrating the\u003Cbr\u003Ealgorithm\u2019s favorable computational scaling and high accuracy. Finally, we demonstrate how tasks such as\u003Cbr\u003Einterpolating to \u201coff-grid\u201d angles and nulling an interferer are more computationally efficient when performed directly\u003Cbr\u003Ein beamspace.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003ENakul Singh received a bachelor\u2019s degree in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur,\u003Cbr\u003EIndia, in 2022.

By chaining generative models together with goal decomposition, multi-round planning, memory retention, and tool-routing, Agentic AI systems solve complex and multi-step reasoning problems end-to-end. Realizing this vision demands a tight equilibrium: efficiency through adaptive learning and scaling, and robustness through continuous governance.

In particular, the decision making (optimization) for complex systems such as engineering and economic systems involves human-decision phase. This triggers the occurrences of uncertainties in the decision making phase in addition to the widely-existed inherent uncertainties in the actual systems. In this talk, such challenges will be addressed by summarizing the year\u2019s efforts of the presenter when he was with the University of Manchester before 2016. At first, a generic framework on the decision making for uncertainty systems has been formulated into a \u201cclosed loop control design problem\u201d, where the uncertainties in both decision making phase and the actual systems have been represented by the uncertainty injections to the \u201ccontroller\u201d and to the \u201cplant to be controlled\u201d. The uncertainties in human decision making phase is characterized by their probability density functions (PDF) of the brain-cell\u2019s signal collected via brain-computer-interface (BCI). Using such a generic framework, decision making under uncertainties are formulated as a PDF control problem of objective functions and constraints- leading to a total solution for the stochastic optimization for complex systems. Two case studies will be presented together with the rationale and claims that most of the existing stochastic optimizations are special cases of the presented theory. Note that the presentation is based upon the published materials by the author.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EProfessor Hong Wang (Member of European Academy of Sciences and Arts, FIEEE, FIET, FInstMC, SMIEEE) received the BSc form Anhui University of Science and Technology in 1982, the master\u2019s and Ph.D. degrees from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, in 1984 and 1987, respectively.

In contrast to the global KL or PL conditions commonly assumed in the literature\u2014which are significantly stronger and often too restrictive in practice\u2014this local KL condition accommodates a broader range of practical scenarios. However, it also introduces new analytical challenges. In particular, as an optimization algorithm approaches a stationary point, the region over which the KL condition holds may shrink, leading to a more intricate and potentially ill-conditioned landscape. To address this challenge, we show that the associated maximal function is locally generalized H\u00f6lder smooth. Leveraging this key property, we develop an inexact proximal gradient method for solving the minimax problem, where the inexact gradient of the maximal function is computed by applying a proximal gradient or sequential convex programming method to a KL-structured subproblem. Under mild assumptions, we establish complexity guarantees for computing an approximate stationary point of the minimax problem.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EThis is joint work with Xiangyuan Wang (University of Minnesota).\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EZhaosong Lu is a Full Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Minnesota.

However, conventional quality control using supervised learning relies on abundant labeled data and assumes that future product defects or process faults resemble those known during training. In practice, new defect types emerge, while abnormal conditions may be rarely observed or completely unknown. These challenges are particularly important for in-situ quality control, where defects must be detected or correctly classified for real-time decision-making, including newly emerging defects with limited or unavailable labels. Moreover, for latent defects that cannot be directly inspected online, defects must instead be predicted from indirect process-sensing signals. This requires mapping process-signal changes to possible defects despite scarce or unavailable defect training samples. This talk explores how advances in AI can address these challenges and enable more adaptive and intelligent in-situ quality control and decision-making for smart manufacturing.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EDr. Judy Jin is the A.

Host immune status critically shapes these trajectories, as neutropenic hosts broaden mutational pathways to fluoroquinolone resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii while functional immunity constrains the outgrowth of resistant variants.
