Goal-Oriented Status Updating for Real-time Remote Inference over Networks with Two-Way Delay

This paper proposes a goal-oriented scheduling framework for real-time remote inference over networks with two-way delays, modeling the problem as a Semi-Markov Decision Process to derive index-based threshold policies that jointly optimize packet freshness, length, and transmission timing, thereby significantly reducing inference error compared to traditional age-based scheduling.

Enhancing Sample Efficiency in Multi-Agent RL with Uncertainty Quantification and Selective Exploration

This paper proposes a novel multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm that enhances sample efficiency by combining a decomposed centralized critic with decentralized ensemble learning, utilizing ensemble kurtosis for selective exploration, a truncated TD(λ\lambda) variant for reduced-variance off-policy training, and a mixed on/off-policy actor approach to outperform state-of-the-art baselines on standard benchmarks.

Identifying Network Structure of Linear Dynamical Systems: Observability and Edge Misclassification

This paper investigates the limitations of uniquely identifying network structures in linear dynamical systems from partial measurements by characterizing the space of consistent networks through observability properties, demonstrating that observing over 6% of nodes in random networks achieves approximately 99% edge classification accuracy while linking structural identifiability to the spectral properties of an augmented observability Gramian.
