Abstract
As artificial intelligence systems become increasingly integrated into human social contexts, Artificial Social Intelligence (ASI) has emerged as a critical capability that enables AI to perceive, understand, and engage meaningfully in complex human social interactions. This chapter introduces a comprehensive framework for Human-Centered Artificial Social Intelligence (HC-ASI), built upon the Technology-Human Factors-Ethics (THE) Triangle, which systematically addresses both technical foundations and human-centered design principles necessary for developing socially intelligent AI systems. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of current ASI research. This chapter begins by establishing the theoretical foundations of ASI, tracing its evolution from classical psychological theories of human social intelligence to contemporary computational models, then examines the mechanisms underlying human-AI social interaction with particular emphasis on establishing shared social understanding and appropriate role positioning. The chapter further explores ASI's practical implications for individuals and groups through comprehensive evaluation frameworks that combine technical benchmarks with human-centered experiential assessments, demonstrating real-world applications through detailed case studies spanning healthcare, companionship, education, and customer service domains. Building on the overview and the framework of HC -ASI, this chapter articulates core HC-ASI design principles and translates them into actionable methodologies and implementation guidelines that provide practical guidance for researchers and practitioners. This chapter concludes with a critical discussion of current challenges and promising directions for developing comprehensive HC-ASI ecosystems.

Abstract
Over the last few months, AI models including large language models have improved greatly. There are now several documented examples where they have helped professional mathematical scientists prove new results, sometimes even helping resolve known open problems. In this short note, we add another example to the list, by documenting how we were able to solve a previously unsolved research problem in robust mathematical statistics with crucial help from GPT-5. Our problem concerns robust density estimation, where the observations are perturbed by Wasserstein-bounded contaminations.In a previous preprint (Chao and Dobriban, 2023, arxiv:2308.01853v2), we have obtained upper and lower bounds on the minimax optimal estimation error; which were, however, not sharp. Starting in October 2025, making significant use of GPT-5 Pro, we were able to derive the minimax optimal error rate (reported in version 3 of the above arxiv preprint). GPT-5 provided crucial help along the way, including by suggesting calculations that we did not think of, and techniques that were not familiar to us, such as the dynamic Benamou-Brenier formulation, for key steps in the analysis. Working with GPT-5 took a few weeks of effort, and we estimate that it could have taken several months to get the same results otherwise. At the same time, there are still areas where working with GPT-5 was challenging: it sometimes provided incorrect references, and glossed over details that sometimes took days of work to fill in. We outline our workflow and steps taken to mitigate issues. Overall, our work can serve as additional documentation for a new age of human-AI collaborative work in mathematical science.

Abstract
In a study, published in \emph{Nature}, researchers from DeepMind and mathematicians demonstrated a general framework using machine learning to make conjectures in pure mathematics. Their work uses neural networks and attribution techniques to guide human intuition towards making provable conjectures. Here, we build upon this framework to develop a method for identifying sufficient conditions that imply a given mathematical statement. Our approach trains neural networks with a custom loss function that prioritizes high precision. Then uses attribution techniques and exploratory data analysis to make conjectures. As a demonstration, we apply this process to Stanley's problem of $e$-positivity of graphs--a problem that has been at the center of algebraic combinatorics for the past three decades. Guided by AI, we rediscover that one sufficient condition for a graph to be $e$-positive is that it is co-triangle-free, and that the number of claws is the most important factor for $e$-positivity. Based on the most important factors in Saliency Map analysis of neural networks, we suggest that the classification of $e$-positive graphs is more related to continuous graph invariants rather than the discrete ones. Furthermore, using neural networks and exploratory data analysis, we show that the claw-free and claw-contractible-free graphs with $10$ and $11$ vertices are $e$-positive, resolving a conjecture by Dahlberg, Foley, and van Willigenburg.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are reshaping how we approach scientific discovery, not by replacing established methods but by extending what researchers can probe, predict, and design. In this roadmap we provide a forward-looking view of AI-enabled science across biology, chemistry, climate science, mathematics, materials science, physics, self-driving laboratories and unconventional computing. Several shared themes emerge: the need for diverse and trustworthy data, transferable electronic-structure and interatomic models, AI systems integrated into end-to-end scientific workflows that connect simulations to experiments and generative systems grounded in synthesisability rather than purely idealised phases. Across domains, we highlight how large foundation models, active learning and self-driving laboratories can close loops between prediction and validation while maintaining reproducibility and physical interpretability. Taken together, these perspectives outline where AI-enabled science stands today, identify bottlenecks in data, methods and infrastructure, and chart concrete directions for building AI systems that are not only more powerful but also more transparent and capable of accelerating discovery in complex real-world environments.

  • The article discusses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and its performance evaluation in serving model cards, comparing it to REST protocol. [2]
  • FAIR Signposting Profile: Implementation guidelines for exposing machine-actionable navigation links using standardized HTTP headers and HTML link elements. [1]
Abstract
AI/ML model cards can contain a benchmarked evaluation of an AI/ML model against intended use but a one time assessment during model training does not get at how and where a model is actually used over its lifetime. Through Patra Model Cards embedded in the ICICLE AI Institute software ecosystem we study model cards as dynamic objects. The study reported here assesses the benefits and tradeoffs of adopting the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as an interface to the Patra Model Card server. Quantitative assessment shows the overhead of MCP as compared to a REST interface. The core question however is of active sessions enabled by MCP; this is a qualitative question of fit and use in the context of dynamic model cards that we address as well.

Understanding the lifecycle and evaluation of AI models is key to developing best practices for human-in-the-loop systems. This paper explores model cards, which are vital for transparency and oversight in any AI deployment.

Abstract
Embodied navigation that adheres to social norms remains an open research challenge. Our \textbf{SocialNav} is a foundational model for socially-aware navigation with a hierarchical "brain-action" architecture, capable of understanding high-level social norms and generating low-level, socially compliant trajectories. To enable such dual capabilities, we construct the SocNav Dataset, a large-scale collection of 7 million samples, comprising (1) a Cognitive Activation Dataset providing social reasoning signals such as chain-of-thought explanations and social traversability prediction, and (2) an Expert Trajectories Pyramid aggregating diverse navigation demonstrations from internet videos, simulated environments, and real-world robots. A multi-stage training pipeline is proposed to gradually inject and refine navigation intelligence: we first inject general navigation skills and social norms understanding into the model via imitation learning, and then refine such skills through a deliberately designed Socially-Aware Flow Exploration GRPO (SAFE-GRPO), the first flow-based reinforcement learning framework for embodied navigation that explicitly rewards socially compliant behaviors. SocialNav achieves +38% success rate and +46% social compliance rate compared to the state-of-the-art method, demonstrating strong gains in both navigation performance and social compliance.

Abstract
Humans rely on the synergistic control of head (cephalomotor) and eye (oculomotor) to efficiently search for visual information in 360ยฐ. However, prior approaches to visual search are limited to a static image, neglecting the physical embodiment and its interaction with the 3D world. How can we develop embodied visual search agents as efficient as humans while bypassing the constraints imposed by real-world hardware? To this end, we propose humanoid visual search where a humanoid agent actively rotates its head to search for objects or paths in an immersive world represented by a 360ยฐ panoramic image. To study visual search in visually-crowded real-world scenarios, we build H* Bench, a new benchmark that moves beyond household scenes to challenging in-the-wild scenes that necessitate advanced visual-spatial reasoning capabilities, such as transportation hubs, large-scale retail spaces, urban streets, and public institutions. Our experiments first reveal that even top-tier proprietary models falter, achieving only ~30% success in object and path search. We then use post-training techniques to enhance the open-source Qwen2.5-VL, increasing its success rate by over threefold for both object search (14.83% to 47.38%) and path search (6.44% to 24.94%). Notably, the lower ceiling of path search reveals its inherent difficulty, which we attribute to the demand for sophisticated spatial commonsense. Our results not only show a promising path forward but also quantify the immense challenge that remains in building MLLM agents that can be seamlessly integrated into everyday human life.

This research into how humans efficiently search for visual information can offer foundational insights for designing more intuitive and effective human-AI interfaces within human-in-the-loop systems. It delves into human perception and control.

Abstract
Edge General Intelligence (EGI) represents a paradigm shift in mobile edge computing, where intelligent agents operate autonomously in dynamic, resource-constrained environments. However, the deployment of advanced agentic AI models on mobile and edge devices faces significant challenges due to limited computation, energy, and storage resources. To address these constraints, this survey investigates the integration of Knowledge Distillation (KD) into EGI, positioning KD as a key enabler for efficient, communication-aware, and scalable intelligence at the wireless edge. In particular, we emphasize KD techniques specifically designed for wireless communication and mobile networking, such as channel-aware self-distillation, cross-model Channel State Information (CSI) feedback distillation, and robust modulation/classification distillation. Furthermore, we review novel architectures natively suited for KD and edge deployment, such as Mamba, RWKV (Receptance, Weight, Key, Value) and Cross-Architecture distillation, which enhance generalization capabilities. Subsequently, we examine diverse applications in which KD-driven architectures enable EGI across vision, speech, and multimodal tasks. Finally, we highlight the key challenges and future directions for KD in EGI. This survey aims to provide a comprehensive reference for researchers exploring KD-driven frameworks for mobile agentic AI in the era of EGI.

Abstract
Algorithms have been estimated to increase AI training FLOP efficiency by a factor of 22,000 between 2012 and 2023 [Ho et al., 2024]. Running small-scale ablation experiments on key innovations from this time period, we are able to account for less than 10x of these gains. Surveying the broader literature, we estimate that additional innovations not included in our ablations account for less than 10x, yielding a total under 100x. This leads us to conduct scaling experiments, which reveal that much of this efficiency gap can be explained by algorithms with scale-dependent efficiency improvements. In particular, we conduct scaling experiments between LSTMs and Transformers, finding exponent differences in their compute-optimal scaling law while finding little scaling difference for many other innovations. These experiments demonstrate that - contrary to standard assumptions - an algorithm's efficiency gains are tied to compute scale. Using experimental extrapolation and literature estimates, we account for 6,930x efficiency gains over the same time period, with the scale-dependent LSTM-to-Transformer transition accounting for the majority of gains. Our results indicate that algorithmic progress for small models has been far slower than previously assumed, and that measures of algorithmic efficiency are strongly reference-dependent.
AI Summary
  • Algorithmic progress in language models exhibits fundamentally different behavior across compute scales. [3]
  • Algorithmic progress: The improvement in training efficiency and capabilities of language models over time. [3]
  • Scale-dependent innovations: Innovations whose impact on efficiency gains varies depending on the compute scale. [3]
  • Algorithmic progress is not a single number, but rather depends on both the reference algorithm and target compute scale. [3]
  • Scale-dependent innovations are critical to understanding algorithmic progress and its implications for the future of AI. [3]
  • The study's experiments are conducted at small scales compared to more recent scaling studies. [3]
  • Scale-dependent innovations, such as the LSTM-to-Transformer transition and Chinchilla rebalancing, account for most of the efficiency gains at frontier scales. [2]
  • The concentration of progress in architectural transitions suggests that future progress may depend on discovering fundamentally new architectures rather than incremental refinements of existing ones. [1]
Abstract
Advances in artificial intelligence now make it possible to simulate the dead through chatbots, voice clones, and video avatars trained on a person's digital traces. These "digital ghosts" are moving from fiction to commercial reality, reshaping how people mourn and remember. This paper offers a conceptual and ethical analysis of AI-mediated digital afterlives. We define what counts as a digital ghost, trace their rise across personal, commercial, and institutional contexts, and identify core ethical tensions around grief and well-being, truthfulness and deception, consent and posthumous privacy, dignity and misrepresentation, and the commercialization of mourning. To analyze these challenges, we propose a nine-dimensional taxonomy of digital afterlife technologies and, building on it, outline the features of an ethically acceptable digital ghost: premortem intent, mutual consent, transparent and limited data use, clear disclosure, restricted purposes and access, family or estate stewardship, and minimal behavioral agency. We argue for targeted regulation and professional guidelines to ensure that digital ghosts can aid remembrance without slipping into forms of deception.
AI Summary
  • The rise of digital ghosts and deadbots forces us to confront fundamental questions about how we remember our dead. [3]
  • Digital ghosts can become the blind spot between memory and trickery, a prolonged mourning disguised as dialogue. [3]
  • Deadbots: AI replicas that simulate the presence of deceased individuals. [3]
  • Digital ghosts: AI-generated representations of deceased people that can interact with the living. [3]
  • The era of AI 'afterlives' is here, and it falls upon us to ensure this technology is used in a way that supports memory without becoming an imposture, and helps heal without betraying the dignity of those we love and lose. [3]
  • The article cites various studies and papers on the topic of digital ghosts and deadbots, including works by authors such as Jed R. [3]
  • From an ethical standpoint, arguably intent and transparency make a substantial difference in creating or engaging with a simulacrum of a loved one. [2]

Deep Learning
Abstract
This paper argues that DNNs implement a computational Occam's razor -- finding the `simplest' algorithm that fits the data -- and that this could explain their incredible and wide-ranging success over more traditional statistical methods. We start with the discovery that the set of real-valued function $f$ that can be $ฮต$-approximated with a binary circuit of size at most $cฮต^{-ฮณ}$ becomes convex in the `Harder than Monte Carlo' (HTMC) regime, when $ฮณ>2$, allowing for the definition of a HTMC norm on functions. In parallel one can define a complexity measure on the parameters of a ResNets (a weighted $\ell_1$ norm of the parameters), which induce a `ResNet norm' on functions. The HTMC and ResNet norms can then be related by an almost matching sandwich bound. Thus minimizing this ResNet norm is equivalent to finding a circuit that fits the data with an almost minimal number of nodes (within a power of 2 of being optimal). ResNets thus appear as an alternative model for computation of real functions, better adapted to the HTMC regime and its convexity.
AI Summary
  • The HTMC norm is a measure of the complexity of a function, and it has several useful properties, including compositionality and convexity. [3]
  • The construction of the ResNet involves two main parts: first, the input is mapped to the weighted binary representations of its surrounding vertices; second, a sorting algorithm is used to recover the simplex that contains the input. [3]
  • The Lipschitz constant of this network is bounded by cp doutb|C|p=2/3. [3]
  • The ResNet representation of Tetrakis functions has several useful properties, including compositionality and convexity. [3]
  • HTMC norm: a measure of the complexity of a function. [3]
  • Hยจ older continuous: a property of a function that implies it can be represented as a sum of Tetrakis functions. [3]
  • Tetrakis function: a type of function that is both HTMC computable and Hยจ older continuous. [3]
  • ResNet: a type of neural network that can represent functions that are both HTMC computable and Hยจ older continuous. [3]
  • ResNets can be used to represent functions that are both HTMC computable and Hยจ older continuous. [2]

AGI: Artificial General Intelligence
Abstract
As artificial intelligence systems become increasingly integrated into human social contexts, Artificial Social Intelligence (ASI) has emerged as a critical capability that enables AI to perceive, understand, and engage meaningfully in complex human social interactions. This chapter introduces a comprehensive framework for Human-Centered Artificial Social Intelligence (HC-ASI), built upon the Technology-Human Factors-Ethics (THE) Triangle, which systematically addresses both technical foundations and human-centered design principles necessary for developing socially intelligent AI systems. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of current ASI research. This chapter begins by establishing the theoretical foundations of ASI, tracing its evolution from classical psychological theories of human social intelligence to contemporary computational models, then examines the mechanisms underlying human-AI social interaction with particular emphasis on establishing shared social understanding and appropriate role positioning. The chapter further explores ASI's practical implications for individuals and groups through comprehensive evaluation frameworks that combine technical benchmarks with human-centered experiential assessments, demonstrating real-world applications through detailed case studies spanning healthcare, companionship, education, and customer service domains. Building on the overview and the framework of HC -ASI, this chapter articulates core HC-ASI design principles and translates them into actionable methodologies and implementation guidelines that provide practical guidance for researchers and practitioners. This chapter concludes with a critical discussion of current challenges and promising directions for developing comprehensive HC-ASI ecosystems.

Deep Learning
Abstract
In a study, published in \emph{Nature}, researchers from DeepMind and mathematicians demonstrated a general framework using machine learning to make conjectures in pure mathematics. Their work uses neural networks and attribution techniques to guide human intuition towards making provable conjectures. Here, we build upon this framework to develop a method for identifying sufficient conditions that imply a given mathematical statement. Our approach trains neural networks with a custom loss function that prioritizes high precision. Then uses attribution techniques and exploratory data analysis to make conjectures. As a demonstration, we apply this process to Stanley's problem of $e$-positivity of graphs--a problem that has been at the center of algebraic combinatorics for the past three decades. Guided by AI, we rediscover that one sufficient condition for a graph to be $e$-positive is that it is co-triangle-free, and that the number of claws is the most important factor for $e$-positivity. Based on the most important factors in Saliency Map analysis of neural networks, we suggest that the classification of $e$-positive graphs is more related to continuous graph invariants rather than the discrete ones. Furthermore, using neural networks and exploratory data analysis, we show that the claw-free and claw-contractible-free graphs with $10$ and $11$ vertices are $e$-positive, resolving a conjecture by Dahlberg, Foley, and van Willigenburg.

Abstract
This paper argues that DNNs implement a computational Occam's razor -- finding the `simplest' algorithm that fits the data -- and that this could explain their incredible and wide-ranging success over more traditional statistical methods. We start with the discovery that the set of real-valued function $f$ that can be $ฮต$-approximated with a binary circuit of size at most $cฮต^{-ฮณ}$ becomes convex in the `Harder than Monte Carlo' (HTMC) regime, when $ฮณ>2$, allowing for the definition of a HTMC norm on functions. In parallel one can define a complexity measure on the parameters of a ResNets (a weighted $\ell_1$ norm of the parameters), which induce a `ResNet norm' on functions. The HTMC and ResNet norms can then be related by an almost matching sandwich bound. Thus minimizing this ResNet norm is equivalent to finding a circuit that fits the data with an almost minimal number of nodes (within a power of 2 of being optimal). ResNets thus appear as an alternative model for computation of real functions, better adapted to the HTMC regime and its convexity.
AI Summary
  • The HTMC norm is a measure of the complexity of a function, and it has several useful properties, including compositionality and convexity. [3]
  • The construction of the ResNet involves two main parts: first, the input is mapped to the weighted binary representations of its surrounding vertices; second, a sorting algorithm is used to recover the simplex that contains the input. [3]
  • The Lipschitz constant of this network is bounded by cp doutb|C|p=2/3. [3]

  • HTMC norm: a measure of the complexity of a function. [3]
