Towards a Trustworthy and Governable Internet of Agentics: An Architectural Perspective on Protocols, Systems, and Services

Large language model applications are increasingly being organized as tool-using and multi-agent workflows rather than as isolated chat interfaces. This perspective paper examines the architectural problem that follows from that shift: agents may reason, invoke tools, and delegate work, but dependable deployment still requires interoperability across frameworks, runtimes, data boundaries, and organizational control domains. We study this problem through the lens of the Internet of Agentics (IoA), an emerging service-computing view in which heterogeneous agents are treated as governable service participants rather than only as stand-alone model endpoints. The paper organizes the landscape as a three-layer progression: from today's fragmented agent ecosystem, to interoperable agents, and ultimately to trustworthy and governable autonomy. First, it examines the protocol stack centered on the Agentic AI Foundation, including MCP for agent--tool interaction; A2A for agent--agent coordination; AGENTS.md and Skills-style procedural manifests; and discovery, transport, and trust mechanisms such as AGNTCY and SLIM. Second, it reviews the systems abstractions that make agents deployable as service components, including logical agent architectures, orchestration patterns, gateways, registries, runtime control loops, and hardware-aware inference infrastructure. Third, it situates these developments within services computing, arguing that agentic systems reinterpret classical concerns from SOA and microservices---discovery, composition, governance, pricing, and trust---at the level of cognitive capabilities rather than deterministic functions.

Networked AI: Architecture, Theory, and Applications

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly large-scale deep learning, have been driven by monolithic or offline training on massive curated datasets. While successful, these approaches face structural limitations: escalating data and computational demands, limited online adaptability, and a lack of system-level intelligence in open, non-stationary environments. This paper presents Networked AI - a networked intelligent system composed of interacting, heterogeneous, and continuously evolving AI agents. We establish a hierarchical layered architecture comprising an Agent Layer for heterogeneous capability construction, an Interaction Layer for signal-processing-guided online data extraction, and a Regulation Layer for stability-constrained collective evolution. Foundations in data science, signal processing, and system control are hereby synthesized into a unified theoretical framework of Networked AI, providing superior data efficiency, intelligence efficiency, interpretability, and scalability. Theoretical and experimental analysis demonstrates that Networked AI can approach near-linear scaling in resource demand, in contrast to the exponential increase in standalone end-to-end systems. It provides not only online adaptation to out-of-distribution environmental novelties, but also the autonomous evolution towards application-specific intelligence. Application frontiers are discussed for IoT spaces, embodied, spatial, and industrial intelligences, as well as the cellular infrastructure and beyond. Key open challenges are identified towards realizing locally autonomous, collectively intelligent, continuously evolving, globally regulated Networked AI.

SAGE (Subjectivity-Aware Generation Estimator): A Linguistic Framework for AI-Generated Review Detection *

We propose a simple, linguistically motivated approach to detecting AI-generated peer reviews based on the inherently human trait of subjectivity. We capture subjectivity at two levels: the semantic level of evaluative language and modality and the pragmatic level of speech acts. Using features derived from speech act annotations and model-predicted subjectivity scores, we train a lightweight classifier that achieves an AUROC of 0.9566 with only these linguistic features. Combining its output with the state-of-the-art detector Sem-Detect raises the TPR at 1% FPR of Sem-Detect on the APRDB benchmark from 0.874 to 0.985, outperforming the current state of the art. Our results show that linguistic features of subjectivity provide an explainable source of information for detecting AI-generated peer reviews and can be readily integrated into existing detection methods. The code and models are publicly available on GitHub (https://github.com/Arys02/generated_ text_detection_hub) and Hugging Face (https://huggingface.co/Arys02), respectively.

PRIME: Predictive Routing of Interventions by Modeling Effects for Scientific Ideation

Feedback-driven iteration is widely used to improve LLM-generated scientific ideas, but existing systems either leave revision decisions implicit in generation, align revisions with feedback-localized weaknesses, or restrict action selection to system-specific operations. This is problematic because problems, hypotheses, and solutions are interdependent: the location where a weakness manifests does not itself determine the revision scope that will produce a better successor. We term this phenomenon diagnosis-intervention mismatch. We introduce Predictive Routing of Interventions by Modeling Effects (PRIME), a plug-and-play feedback-to-revision decision layer for existing scientific ideators. PRIME operates in three stages: (1) Structural Attribution interprets feedback over the problem-hypothesis-solution structure without fixing a revision target; (2) Counterfactual Routing constructs alternative scope-conditioned interventions and compares their projected successor utility and risks through lightweight rollouts; and (3) Intervention Execution compiles the selected intervention into an ordered generator-facing plan with semantic actions, preservation constraints, and dependency requirements for successor generation. We validate diagnosis intervention mismatch on 112 human-annotated idea-feedback pairs. Across four benchmarks, two ideators, and fixed- and open-problem settings, PRIME improves successor quality and routing reliability over strong baselines; removing counterfactual routing reduces quality from 3.463 to 1.960 and increases route regret from 0.426 to 1.929, confirming cross-scope effect modeling as the primary source of its gains.

Resilient Cell-Free MIMO ISAC Under Uncertainties: An Impairment-Aware Graph Neural Network Framework

Beamforming designs for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) in cell-free multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems face the challenge to stay reliable under uncertainties from both channel state information (CSI) as well as clutter. To this end, this paper proposes an impairment-aware heterogeneous graph neural network (GNN) framework for beamforming that obtains the CSI error level and the clutter covariance as edge features, which enables a single trained model to adapt to both impairments. In particular, the GNN is trained on a low quantile of the minimum user rate with a clutter-aware signal-to-clutter-plus-noise ratio, balanced by a normalized Tchebycheff scalarization. Simulation results show that the proposed GNN framework outperforms the considered baselines in sensing-only and communication-only settings. Depending on the operating point, a single GNN model attains approximately 97\% of each baseline's rate while serving both functionalities at once. The model further generalizes to unseen CSI error levels and clutter counts and renders the ISAC system resilient.

Optimal Subgroup Discovery at Every Support Threshold

Subgroup discovery aims to identify regions of the feature space where a target variable deviates from its marginal distribution. A fundamental challenge in this problem is the trade-off between a subgroup's deviation and its support: small subgroups can be highly deviating but statistically meaningless, while large ones cannot deviate much by construction. Existing methods tackle this challenge by collapsing the two into a single scalar quality measure, implicitly committing to one particular trade-off and making it difficult to recover the most deviating subgroup under a user-specified support constraint. We instead provide the first theoretical and structural characterization of optimal subgroups with maximum Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence under arbitrary support constraints. Under a partition-based generative model, where the feature space decomposes into regions of homogeneous conditional distributions of the target variable called atoms, we prove that every point on the deviation-support Pareto front is a union of whole atoms together with at most one fractional atom. This reduces an uncountable search to a finite combinatorial problem. Guided by this theory, we propose a simple two-step recipe: learn a homogeneous partition, then select atoms greedily. Across 19 benchmark datasets, it finds the most deviating subgroups at a range of support thresholds, and reliably improves subgroups returned by existing methods when applied as a post-processing step. These results empirically validate the sufficiency and necessity of our theoretical contributions.

Unlocking Criminal Court Decisions: Flexible Information Extraction for Empirical Legal Research

Criminal verdicts contain descriptions of criminal behavior that can support quantitative legal research, but structuring them requires attributes and extraction rules that cannot always be fully specified in advance. We present an LLM-based pipeline that builds a structured dataset through attribute exploration, text span extraction, and value normalization, guided by annotation instructions that legal experts can refine. We evaluate it on two traffic offenses: driving under the influence (DUI) and driving despite a ban (DDB). For DUI, revising the instructions was associated with higher extraction accuracy (from 52% to 70% of correctly extracted values) and higher agreement between human annotators. Repeated runs of the same model agreed with each other more than with the gold annotations, showing that consistent output is not necessarily correct, while disagreement between annotators and between models helped reveal unclear instructions. For DDB, where the instructions defined fixed categories and output formats, agreement was high for most attributes.

VideoEditor-MoE: Scaling Complex Video Editing with Mixture of Experts

Complex video editing requires understanding complex instructions while jointly fulfilling multiple editing requests. Meeting these demands through dense model scaling substantially increases computational cost. We introduce VideoEditor-MoE, the first open-source mixture-of-experts framework for video editing. Beyond sparse MLP-MoE layers, MoE-Attention expands attention capacity through routed key--value experts while preserving global interactions among video tokens. Initialized from a 5B video editing model, VideoEditor-MoE scales to 14B and 56B parameters, with approximately 8B parameters activated per token in both variants. Comparisons with existing methods and two complementary baselines, Explicit-MoE and MLP-MoE, assess its benefits over explicit expert guidance and MLP-only expert architectures. Further analyses demonstrate that all experts remain active and reveal that learned routing responds more strongly to sample content and diffusion noise levels than to human-defined editing categories. Spatial analysis further indicates sensitivity to object-level semantic features. We also identify decoupled weight decay as a strategy for stabilizing expert scaling.

Bayesian Sequential Optimal Experimental Design for Single-Pixel Imaging using Reinforcement Learning

Adaptive compressed sensing (CS) aims to select the most informative measurements sequentially, which is crucial for many modern imaging systems. This task can be formulated as a Bayesian sequential optimal experimental design (sOED) problem, where each new acquisition is chosen to maximally reduce uncertainty about the unknown image given prior information and subsequent data provided by acquisitions. However, in single-pixel imaging (SPI), the large design space consists of all possible binary illumination patterns. Directly optimizing the Bayesian sOED objective over this space using conventional methods is generally challenging. In this work, we reformulate sOED for SPI as a reinforcement learning (RL) problem. In RL, an agent learns a policy through repeated experimental trials to maximize a reward, here given as the expected information gain, the most complete measure of uncertainty reduction in Bayesian OED. This avoids the need to directly optimize complex information-theoretic objectives during a measurement to obtain the next design. Instead, the result is a learned policy function that directly maps the current posterior belief about the image to the next optimal binary measurement pattern, in a computationally efficient way. Using a simple yet representative SPI imaging scenario, this work evaluates the scalability of the learned policy under two different policy parameterizations. Furthermore, we investigate how performance deteriorates when only approximate posterior information is available or the measurements are impaired by noise, and propose several strategies to introduce additional design constraints motivated by biomedical applications. The numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed Bayesian sOED-RL framework remains robust and can be extended to more complex, large-scale SPI scenarios.

VERS: Steering Reasoning Models by Editing Their Activation Explanations

Reasoning language models write a chain of thought before they answer, and many checks in it do not change the final answer. Natural language autoencoders (NLAs) explain a model's activations in text and rebuild activations from text, and editing an explanation can steer a model at a single token. We study whether such edits can also steer how a model reasons. We build VERS (Verbalize, Edit, Reconstruct, Steer): it turns explanation edits at the doubt points of one reasoning trace into one fixed direction, and adds this direction at paragraph breaks. On the full GSM8K test, VERS cuts generated tokens by 45.8% at an accuracy change of -0.82 percentage points (pp); on MATH-500 it saves 31.3% at -3.05 pp. At half strength, its trade-off between tokens and accuracy lies between those of the published methods SEAL and DEER. With fitted affine maps and a strength tuned for each model, the direction transfers to larger Qwen3 models, up to 235B-A22B, and saves 30-35% of tokens. On competition problems, however, VERS loses 3-7 pp at every model size, and a fixed direction did not separate necessary checks from unneeded ones.

TSB-SEG: A Systematic Time-Series Segmentation Benchmark

Time-series segmentation, studied as either Change Point Detection (CPD) or State Detection (SD), underpins a broad range of monitoring and diagnostic applications. However, the field suffers from a persistent divide between the statistical community (focusing on CPD) and the machine learning and data mining communities (focusing on SD). Consequently, the literature remains fragmented: evaluations typically cover narrow methodological families, datasets are often small or homogeneous, and CPD and SD are rarely evaluated together. We address these gaps with TSB-SEG, a unified benchmark comprising 592 univariate and multivariate time series from 8 heterogeneous datasets and surveying 26 algorithms that span five decades of progress. To ensure a fair comparison, we introduce a two-pool design: a scalable main pool of tractable detectors used for the aggregate ranking, and an extended-scope pool for computationally intensive methods. All methods are unified under tsseg, an open-source library to ensure full reproducibility. Our systematic evaluation yields three insights: (a) no single detector dominates across domains, and per-dataset hyperparameter tuning remains decisive for performance, (b) CPD accuracy is a useful, though imperfect, proxy for SD accuracy, and (c) data characteristics should guide method selection. We provide actionable guidance based on data properties, error tolerances, and tuning budgets, identify impactful hyperparameters, and characterize algorithm robustness to these choices.

When Does Design Thinking Work? A Convergence Theorem for the Iterate-Test Core

Design thinking is widely taught as an iterative loop of ideation, prototyping, and testing, yet conditions under which such a loop must improve innovation outcomes remain unspecified. Taking problem framing as given, we formalize the iterate-test core as search over a finite prototype space whose utility is learned through noisy evaluations. We prove that the prototype a team believes to be best converges almost surely to a local optimum under five conditions: finite framing, local ideation, non-summable discovery rates, unbiased repeated testing, and retention of tested prototypes. Bounded test bias or criteria drift degrades the guarantee by a bounded amount, and multiple stakeholders yield convergence to a locally Pareto-optimal set. Finite-horizon simulations across three landscape classes (additive valuation, NK rugged landscapes, and clustered modular architectures) show that asymptotic limits are rarely reached in practice. Teams face an optimizer's curse, overestimating their chosen concept by 4-8% and frequently discarding superior prototypes. Testing every prototype once proves to be the worst allocation; optimal performance requires building one to three prototypes per five tests and repeatedly re-testing leaders. Pre-screening concepts yields greater performance gains than tuning testing policies.

Hybrid Federated Learning for Multimodal Fusion under Missing Modalities and Site Heterogeneity

Multimodal fusion is studied under hybrid federation, where data are partitioned across samples and feature blocks. The proposed two-dimensional federated smooth multiple-kernel large-margin learning method (2D-FedSMKL) integrates availability-corrected modality scores, group-kernel regularization, and smooth worst-site risk aggregation. For fixed maps and propensities, the objective is convex and smooth. Curvature bounds and exact synchronous block-gradient equivalence are established for binary and multiclass scores, giving a conditional accelerated rate. An oracle-propensity binary risk bound and a propensity-perturbation result are also derived. Simulations and two public activity-recognition benchmarks assess site heterogeneity and modality absence. Worst-site aggregation improves worst-site performance under heterogeneity, including reversed and size-balanced designs. On the benchmarks, validation selects the correction; the selected model is not significantly worse than the strongest reference at the worst site, and group-regularization benefits vary by dataset.

Improved regret bounds in tabular RL under local differential privacy

We study regret minimization for time-homogeneous episodic tabular reinforcement learning with S states and A actions under non-interactive ε-local differential privacy (LDP). In each episode k [K], the decision-maker sends a policy to a user, the user executes the policy for H steps, and sends an ε-locally differentially private message back to the decision-maker. When H=1, the problem reduces to an LDP contextual bandit with S contexts, A arms and horizon K. We prove that the minimax regret is $(K, { {( S, (ε) + 1) S A K ((ε) + 1)}}{(ε) - 1}), up to constants and a {(A)}$ factor. The upper bound is achieved by an adaptation of EXP3 and a unary encoding mechanism. When H > 1, and for small ε, we show a lower bound in Ω(HS{{A K}}ε) and an upper bound in {O}(H^2 S^2 {{ AK}}ε). The upper bound is achieved by an algorithm based on UCBVI and a unary encoding mechanism. For small ε, these bounds improve the previously known lower bound by a factor {S} and the previously known upper bound by a factor of H {A}.

The Tower of Babel in artificial intelligence: who should speak, and when it pays to listen

Two machines can each recognize an object well and still fail together. We study classifiers that see different parts of one object and send short messages to a receiver that identifies its class. Coordination asks how to design messages together; cooperation asks whether the team outperforms one sender given the whole budget. On three digit datasets, messages designed together beat messages designed apart by 18.07 to 22.68 percentage points on average with two-bit messages, with gains in all 24 configurations. A fixed agreement, you report the row and I the column, recovers about half this gain, with only the receiver learned. Senders that draw the same distinctions waste a narrow vocabulary, and senders whose distinctions cross multiply it. A team has no more possible messages than one sender with the same budget, so a partner must bring evidence the first lacks. A solvable model shows individual statistics alone cannot determine whether a partnership helps. On MNIST digits, six shared bits remove 49.54 percent of the strongest tested solo's errors on average. Paired measurements correctly predicted most sensor teams would reduce average accuracy on new participants. Who should speak is a property of the pair, and must be measured in pairs.

Comparative study of global pooling for pre-departure ship fuel consumption prediction: Advantages over per-ship and adaptation-based approaches

Most fuel oil consumption (FOC) models for voyage planning are per-ship models and thus generalize poorly beyond each vessel's records. Transfer and federated learning have been reported to perform better, but under different protocols that often use inputs unavailable before departure or random data splits. It therefore remains unclear which approach performs best. In this study, we compare 11 per-ship, adaptation-based, and global methods on 21 vessels. To prevent leakage, all methods receive identical inputs known or forecast before departure, excluding engine RPM and shaft power, and are tested on intact voyage legs after all training records of each vessel. Global pooling, in which one model describes each vessel by its ship identity and seven ship specifications, performs best overall in every setting examined. For in-fleet vessels, Global LightGBM reaches an overall MAPE of 8.92%, against 11.14% for Per-Ship LightGBM, and outperforms every per-ship and adaptation-based model. Global models of five architectures, including a Transformer, all outperform the per-ship and federated models. Fine-tuning a global model for each vessel, even by low-rank adaptation of the Transformer, adds no accuracy. Without any records of a vessel, the global model reaches a median MAPE of 11.20% and outperforms a per-ship model trained on that vessel's records for 14 of 21 vessels. Adding its first records to the pooled data is as accurate as vessel-specific adaptation. Ship identity and specifications are largely interchangeable for in-fleet vessels, but only the specifications support zero-shot prediction. Its error grows as a vessel's specifications differ from the fleet's. Per-ship models and vessel-specific adaptation are therefore unnecessary under fair comparison. One global model can serve a whole fleet, including newly delivered vessels with similar specifications.

Q-CamTuning: A Multimodal Large Language Model for Fine-Grained Quality Reasoning in Livestreaming Camera Tuning

With the popularization of livestreaming applications, automatic camera tuning has become indispensable for ordinary users to enjoy high Quality of Experience (QoE). However, the existing Image Quality Assessment (IQA) methods face two challenges in camera tuning. First, they struggle to identify subtle quality difference between images, which is common in camera tuning. Second, the ability to explain fine-grained differences and to provide suggestions for camera tuning are even more lacking. To address these challenges, we first construct FGLive-Comments, an instruction tuning dataset with rich annotations of both preferences for fine-grained image pairs and quality reasoning from global and local visual evidence, which supports selective adjustment recommendations of camera parameters. Based on FGLive-Comments, we develop Q-CamTuning, a multimodal large language model for livestreaming camera tuning. Its progressive perception-evidence-guidance framework learns quality-aware visual representations, enhances fine-grained reasoning with global-local evidence, and maps quality issues to camera-parameter adjustment directions. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that Q-CamTuning outperforms existing IQA models in both quality scoring and fine-grained image pair ranking. User study also validates its ability to recommend camera tuning suggestions.

BLPO: Beyond-Local Policy Optimization for Long-Horizon LLM Agents

Long-horizon tasks require large language model (LLM) agents to coordinate interdependent actions, a capability central to automating complex workflows. Stepwise group-based reinforcement learning provides finer credit than trajectory-level supervision, but reliable comparisons must account for differences in interaction history. Enforcing this consistency within the limited rollouts of each task can leave insufficient support for estimating action preferences. We propose Beyond-Local Policy Optimization (BLPO), which estimates task-progress advantages from experience shared across tasks and training updates. We summarize trajectory prefixes into task-progress states and abstract actions by their function, allowing corresponding decisions from different tasks to contribute to shared estimates. To control bias and noise from heterogeneous tasks, we accumulate context-relative returns in a global memory with balanced aggregation and reliability weighting. These global advantages complement local comparisons over normalized actions and trajectory-level credit without a learned critic or additional rollouts. Experiments on ALFWorld and WebShop with 1.5B and 7B policies show improved task success over the evaluated baselines under matched training budgets. Further analyses show faster learning and shorter trajectories with little computational overhead.

Finding Errors Is Not Enough: Selective Model Escalation for Entity-Targeted Sentiment Analysis

Improving a sentiment classifier with limited resources involves more than simply deciding how much data to collect or which model to train. A labelled collection may lack examples of an important class. Once trained, a classifier may benefit from another model even when that model is weaker on its own. We study these decisions in document-level Entity-Level Sentiment Analysis (ELSA), primarily using South Slavic news. We first compare acquisition orders as collections grow. We then use uncertainty to choose which predictions to revisit, how many to process, and whether an alternative encoder or local LLM can correct them. Finally, we select complete routing policies on development data for held-out evaluation. Minority-prioritised acquisition helps at some very small training sizes, but not consistently thereafter. On SentiCoref, an oracle correcting all errors in the least-confident 10% without harming correct predictions would add 9.14 Macro-F1 points; however the best evaluated action gains only 0.90. Encoder averaging helps on AspectBench and NewsMTSC but harms SentiCoref, where selective LLM assistance is more promising. Both development-selected policies route 30% of records to the encoder-assisted LLM, yielding observed gains of 1.02 points on SentiCoref (interval includes zero) and 1.71 on NewsMTSC, at substantially different inference costs.

Distilling Literary Sentiment from LLM Annotations into an Ordinal BERT Model

The scarcity of human-annotated literary corpora limits the development of domain-specific sentiment analysis models. This study investigates whether LLM-generated annotations can supervise smaller models for literary sentiment analysis. We fine-tune five BERT models using ordinal regression on 10,889 literary sentences annotated by Gemma 4 31B on a ten-point sentiment scale. The models are evaluated against 1,923 human-annotated sentences from Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea", alongside the teacher model and conventional baselines. BERT-large achieves a Kendall's τ of 0.589, approaching the teacher's 0.604. Although a constant-neutral predictor achieves the lowest overall mean absolute error (MAE), BERT-base outperforms the teacher on non-neutral sentences, achieving an MAE of 0.726 versus 1.116. These findings demonstrate the potential of LLM-generated supervision for developing smaller literary sentiment models, while highlighting the limitations of aggregate error metrics on predominantly neutral datasets.
