When Should Agent Trust Be Conditional? Characterizing and Attacking Skill-Conditional Reputation in Agent Swarms
Yihan Xia, Taotao Wang
Open platforms increasingly route tasks among heterogeneous LLM agents--differing in base model, scaffold, and tool stack--whose competence varies sharply by skill: an agent excell…
ResearchLoop: An Evidence-Gated Control Plane for AI-Assisted Research
Yihan Xia, Taotao Wang
AI-assisted research compresses ideation, implementation, evaluation, and manuscript writing into a single interactive loop. This compression is useful, but it also creates a publi…
Agentic Trading: When LLM Agents Meet Financial Markets
Yihan Xia, Panpan You, Taotao Wang +4
Large Language Models (LLMs) combined with autonomous agent architectures are shifting quantitative finance from isolated predictive modeling toward closed-loop trading agents. The…
Agent-OSI: An Interoperability Architecture for Communication and Settlement in the Decentralized Internet of Agents
Wenxin Xu, Taotao Wang, Yihan Xia +2
Large Language Models (LLMs) are accelerating the shift from an Internet of information to an Internet of Agents (IoA), where autonomous entities discover services, negotiate, exec…
A Survey of Zero-Knowledge Proof Based Verifiable Machine Learning
Zhizhi Peng, Chonghe Zhao, Taotao Wang +7
Machine learning is increasingly deployed through outsourced and cloud-based pipelines, which improve accessibility but also raise concerns about computational integrity, data priv…
Implementing NAT Hole Punching with QUIC
Jinyu Liang, Wei Xu, Taotao Wang +2
The widespread adoption of Network Address Translation (NAT) technology has led to a significant number of network end nodes being located in private networks behind NAT devices, i…
A deep-learning-based MAC for integrating channel access, rate adaptation and channel switch
