    Beyond Measurement Metrics: A Human-Centered Framework for Semantic Validation of Network Traffic Classification

    Igor Cherepanov, David Sessler, Alex Ulmer, Thorsten May, Jörn Kohlhammer

    cs.NI · cs.HC · cs.LG

    Machine learning (ML) has become the dominant approach for network traffic classification, achieving very high predictive performance. However, a model is only valuable if it learns semantically meaningful and trustworthy patterns rather than exploiting spurious correlations. Conventional evaluation practices predominantly assess predictive performance. Consequently, whether the model relies on semantically meaningful patterns remains...

    AeroLat: Channel-Aware Latent Space Semantic Communication for Decentralized UAV Swarms

    Rajdeep Ghosh, Goparaju Venkata Seshachala Sree Vatsava, Sudip Misra

    cs.NI · cs.AI

    Communication in latent space offers an intriguing alternative to symbolic messages for decentralized autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarms operating over bandwidth-constrained, time-varying wireless links. However, when homogeneous frozen models are prompted with discretized perceptual inputs, their broadcast states collapse toward the shared prompt template. In view of this, we propose AeroLat, a channel-aware latent semantic...
