SaleNet: A low-power end-to-end CNN accelerator for sustained attention level evaluation using EEGChao Zhang, Zijian Tang, Taoming Guo et al.
This paper proposes SaleNet - an end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN) for sustained attention level evaluation using prefrontal electroencephalogram (EEG). A bias-driven pruning method is proposed together with group convolution, global average pooling (GAP), near-zero pruning, weight clustering and quantization for the model compression, achieving a total compression ratio of 183.11x. The compressed SaleNet obtains a state-of-the-art subject-independent sustained attention level classification accuracy of 84.2% on the recorded 6-subject EEG database in this work. The SaleNet is implemented on a Artix-7 FPGA with a competitive power consumption of 0.11 W and an energy-efficiency of 8.19 GOps/W.

LLM-FK: Multi-Agent LLM Reasoning for Foreign Key Detection in Large-Scale Complex DatabasesZijian Tang, Ying Zhang, Sibo Cai et al.
Detecting missing foreign keys (FKs) requires accurately modeling semantic dependencies across database schemas, which conventional heuristic-based methods are fundamentally limited in capturing. We propose LLM-FK, the first fully automated multi-agent framework for FK detection, designed to address three core challenges that hinder naive LLM-based solutions in large-scale complex databases: combinatorial search space explosion, ambiguous inference under limited context, and global inconsistency arising from isolated local predictions. LLM-FK coordinates four specialized agents: a Profiler that decomposes the FK detection problem into the task of validating FK candidate column pairs and prunes the search space via a unique-key-driven schema decomposition strategy; an Interpreter that injects self-augmented domain knowledge; a Refiner that constructs compact structural representations and performs multi-perspective chain-of-thought reasoning; and a Verifier that enforces schema-wide consistency through a holistic conflict resolution strategy. Experiments on five benchmark datasets demonstrate that LLM-FK consistently achieves F1-scores above 93%, surpassing existing baselines by 15% on the large-scale MusicBrainz database, while reducing the candidate search space by two to three orders of magnitude without losing true FKs and maintaining robustness under challenging conditions like missing data. These results demonstrate the effectiveness and scalability of LLM-FK in real-world databases.
