arXiv:2604.13459v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Turbofan engine degradation under sustained operational stress necessitates robust prognostic systems capable of accurately estimating the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of critical components. Existing deep learning approaches frequently fail to simultaneously capture multi-sensor spatial correlations and long-range temporal dependencies, while standard symmetric loss functions inadequately penalize the safety-critical error of over-estimating residual life. This study proposes a hybrid architecture integrating Twin-Stage One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks (1D-CNN), a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network, and a custom Bahdanau Additive Attention mechanism. The model was trained and evaluated on the NASA Commercial Modular Aero-Propulsion System Simulation (C-MAPSS) FD001 sub-dataset employing a zero-leakage preprocessing pipeline, piecewise-linear RUL labeling capped at 130 cycles, and the NASA-specified

arXiv:2604.12474v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In many robotic tasks, agents must traverse a sequence of spatial regions to complete a mission. Such problems are inherently mixed discrete-continuous: a high-level action sequence and a physically feasible continuous trajectory. The resulting trajectory and action sequence must also satisfy problem constraints such as deadlines, time windows, and velocity or acceleration limits. While hybrid temporal planners attempt to address this challenge, they typically model motion using linear (first-order) dynamics, which cannot guarantee that the resulting plan respects the robot's true physical constraints. Consequently, even when the high-level action sequence is fixed, producing a dynamically feasible trajectory becomes a bi-level optimization problem. We address this problem via reinforcement learning in continuous space. We define a Markov Decision Process that explicitly incorporates analytical second-order constraints and use it to

arXiv:2604.10487v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a computational platform for modeling chemical reactions in complex molecular environments, focused on ligand-protein binding in drug discovery. The platform implements our new quantum-in-quantum-in-classical (QM/QM/MM) multiscale embedding model that integrates molecular dynamics with a quantum-information-enhanced density matrix embedding theory and quantum chemistry solvers, including explicit solvent. Quantum-information metrics are utilized to generate entanglement-consistent orbitals, enabling a high-accuracy description of strongly correlated regions. The framework supports multiple computational backends, including multi-CPU, NVIDIA multi-GPU architectures, and quantum hardware (IQM, IonQ, IBM) integrated under CUDA-Q, and is designed for compatibility with future fault-tolerant quantum systems. The new platform's capabilities are demonstrated by modeling covalent docking of zanubrutinib to Bruton's tyrosine kinase via

arXiv:2604.10917v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enabling large language models to scale and reliably use hundreds of tools is critical for real-world applications, yet challenging due to the inefficiency and error accumulation inherent in flat tool-calling architectures. To address this, we propose Hybrid Toolset Agentization & Adaptation (HTAA), a hierarchical framework for scalable tool-use planning. We propose a novel toolset agentization paradigm, which encapsulates frequently co-used tools into specialized agent tools, thereby reducing the planner's action space and mitigating redundancy. To ensure effective coordination, we design Asymmetric Planner Adaptation, a trajectory-based training paradigm that aligns the high-level planner with agent tools via backward reconstruction and forward refinement. To validate the performance of HTAA, we conduct experiments on a real-world internal dataset, InfoVerify, based on the POI validation workflow of China's largest online large-scale

arXiv:2604.09944v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent database systems have introduced semantic operators that leverage large language models (LLMs) to filter, join, and project over structured data using natural language predicates. In practice, these operators are combined with traditional relational operators, e.g., equi-joins, producing hybrid query plans whose execution cost depends on both expensive LLM calls and conventional database processing. A key optimization question is where to place each semantic operator relative to the relational operators in the plan: placing them earlier reduces the data that subsequent operators process, but requires more LLM calls; placing them later reduces LLM calls through deduplication, but forces relational operators to process larger intermediate data. Existing systems either ignore this placement question or apply simple heuristics without considering the full cost trade-off. We present Horrila, a plan-level optimizer for hybrid

Renault Korea, the Korean unit French automotive giant Renault S.A., plans to roll out new models annually through 2029 and begin producing its next-generation electric vehicles (EVs) at its Busan plant in 2028, its chief said Tuesday. Nicolas Paris, chief executive officer (CEO) of Renault Korea, shared such a plan at a press conference in Seoul while announcing the Korean implementation of the "Future Ready" initiative previously announced by the Renault Group. Under the strategy, Renault Korea will position itself as a key hub for the French automotive group's D and E segment vehicles and roll out new models annually through 2029. The company also aims to produce next-generation EVs at its plant in Busan, about 330 kilometers southeast of Seoul, starting in 2028. "Our ambition goes beyond volume.

Electric vehicle (EV) charging costs will be reduced by up to 15 percent during afternoon hours on weekends starting this week, the climate ministry said Tuesday. The reduction in the charging fees will be supported by a 50 percent rate discount on electricity used at 94,000 private home-use chargers and 13,000 public fast chargers between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on weekends and public holidays, according to the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment. This will result in a 12-15 percent reduction in EV charging fees, the ministry noted, adding the discounts will be available from March to May and September to October. Reflecting the lower electricity rates, charging costs for home-use chargers will be reduced by 48.6 won per kilowatt-hour (kWh), while public fast chargers will offer discounts of 48.6 won on Saturdays and 42.7 won on Sundays and public holidays. "Some private charging operators are also expected to participate in the discount program, and we will encourage further
