Terastal: Layer-Variant-based Scheduling for Real-Time Multi-DNN Workloads on Heterogeneous Accelerators

Announce Type: new Abstract: Heterogeneous DNN accelerators improve soft real-time multi-DNN execution by mapping each layer to its preferred accelerator to reduce latency. However, under skewed workloads, large layer-latency differences across accelerators limit scheduling flexibility and increase deadline misses. To address this challenge, we introduce layer variants, customized layer implementations that reduce latency gaps on non-preferred accelerators.

A Theory-Guided LLM Pedagogical Agent for STEM+C Scaffolding Without Over-Reliance

Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM pedagogical agents are proliferating, yet recent findings have raised questions about their adherence to established theories of learning and, by extension, their educational value. Concerns regarding cognitive offloading, over-reliance, and "gaming" behaviors persist and remain largely unaddressed. In response, we developed Copa, an agentic, multi-agent, multimodal Collaborative Peer Agent for STEM+C learning.

Pretrained, Frozen, Still Leaking: Auditing Cross-Encoder Attribute Transfer in EEG Foundation Models

arXiv:2606.09189v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: EEG foundation-model releases are usually audited one endpoint at a time: raw-reconstruction, membership inference, identity linkage, or DP-SGD on the downstream head. We audit the same released embeddings under all four endpoints jointly, on BIOT, LaBraM, and EEGPT, and show that each single-endpoint audit clears releases that still leak spectral attributes. The decisive evidence is a cross-encoder transfer audit: a single ridge attribute...
