Unequal Trips, Unequal Places: Diagnosing and Mitigating Delay Inequity in Autonomous Vehicle Fleet Coordination

Nicole Hu, Mingtao Zhang, Haoyang LI +2

City-scale autonomous vehicle fleet coordinators are typically optimized for aggregate travel time, yet fleet averages conceal how delay is distributed across trips and regions. We…

PolyUQuest: Verifiable Structure-Aware Web RAG over Heterogeneous Graphs

Ying Liu, Yi Ye, Quanyu Feng +5

Existing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems treat web pages as flat text, losing the structural and semantic signals encoded in HTML. We present PolyUQuest, a verifiable,…

Securing Retrieval-Augmented Generation: A Taxonomy of Attacks, Defenses, and Future Directions

Yuming Xu, Mingtao Zhang, Zhuohan Ge +7

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) extends large language models (LLMs) with external knowledge, but this access path also introduces security risks that existing work often conf…
