Adversarial Network Optimization under Bandit Feedback: Maximizing Utility in Non-Stationary Multi-Hop Networks by Dai, Yan, Huang, Longbo

“…Specifically, we consider the task of i) maximizing some unknown and time-varying utility function associated with scheduler's actions, where ii) the underlying network topology is a non-stationary multi-hop network whose conditions change arbitrarily with time, and iii) only bandit feedback (the effect of actually deployed actions) is revealed after decision-making. We propose the UMO2 algorithm, which does not require any pre-decision knowledge or counterfactual feedback, ensures network stability, and also matches the utility maximization performance of any "mildly varying" reference policy up to a polynomially decaying gap. …”

A crosstalk-immune sub-THz All-surface-wave I/O transceiver in 65-nm CMOS by Liang, Yuan, Boon, Chirn Chye, Yu, Hao

“…It is further integrated into the all-surface-wave I/O with a surface-wave transmission line and matching converter. Measured results show that the proposed dual-channel I/O delivers a localized 140 GHz surface-wave signal, demonstrating crosstalk-immune on-chip transmission by supporting 13.5 Gb/s data-rate communication with 2.6 PJ/bit Power efficiency and a bit-error rate less than 10^(-12).…”

Virtual human influencers in live streaming commerce on social media platforms: exploring parasocial interactions with consumers in China by Yao, Lu, Tugiman, Nursafwah, Salehhuddin Sharipudin, Mohamad-Noor

“…Grounded in the theoretical framework of the parasocial interaction theory, this study examines how VHIs attract viewers, engage with the material, and influence purchase decisions. Our study comprised two phases. Firstly, we conducted an extensive search across different scholarly databases and digital libraries using the keywords VHIs, PSIs, and live streaming commerce, which produced 35 relevant studies with matching content to the context of the present research. …”
