Merging multiple Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) experts into a single backbone is a promising approach for efficient multi-task deployment. While existing methods strive to alleviate interference via weight interpolation or subspace alignment, they rest upon the implicit assumption that all LoRA matrices contribute constructively to the merged model. In this paper, we uncover a critical bottleneck in current merging paradigms: the existence of $\textit{negative modules}$ -- specific LoRA layers that inherently degrade global performance upon merging. We propose $\textbf{E}$volutionary $\textbf{N}$egative $\textbf{M}$odule $\textbf{P}$runing ($\textbf{ENMP}$), a plug-and-play LoRA pruning method to locate and exclude these detrimental modules prior to merging. By leveraging an evolutionary search strategy, ENMP effectively navigates the discrete, non-differentiable landscape of module selection to identify optimal pruning configurations. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that ENMP consistently boosts the performance of existing merging algorithms, achieving a new state-of-the-art across both language and vision domains.

The real-time transient stability assessment (TSA) plays a critical role in the secure operation of the power system. Although the classic numerical integration method, \textit{i.e.} time-domain simulation (TDS), has been widely used in industry practice, it is inevitably trapped in a high computational complexity due to the high latitude sophistication of the power system. In this work, a data-driven power system estimation method is proposed to quickly predict the stability of the power system before TDS reaches the end of simulating time windows, which can reduce the average simulation time of stability assessment without loss of accuracy. As the topology of the power system is in the form of graph structure, graph neural network based representation learning is naturally suitable for learning the status of the power system. Motivated by observing the distribution information of crucial active power and reactive power on the power system's bus nodes, we thus propose a distribution-aware learning~(DAL) module to explore an informative graph representation vector for describing the status of a power system. Then, TSA is re-defined as a binary classification task, and the stability of the system is determined directly from the resulting graph representation without numerical integration. Finally, we apply our method to the online TSA task. The case studies on the IEEE 39-bus system and Polish 2383-bus system demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

With the rapid development of embodied intelligence, robotics education faces a dual challenge: high computational barriers and cumbersome environment configuration. Existing centralized cloud simulation solutions incur substantial GPU and bandwidth costs that preclude large-scale deployment, while pure local computing is severely constrained by learners' hardware limitations. To address these issues, we propose \href{http://47.76.242.88:8080/receiver/index.html}{Web-Gewu}, an interactive robotics education platform built on a WebRTC cloud-edge-client collaborative architecture. The system offloads all physics simulation and reinforcement learning (RL) training to the edge node, while the cloud server acts exclusively as a lightweight signaling relay, enabling extremely low-cost browser-based peer-to-peer (P2P) real-time streaming. Learners can interact with multi-form robots at low end-to-end latency directly in a web browser without any local installation, and simultaneously observe real-time visualization of multi-dimensional monitoring data, including reinforcement learning reward curves. Combined with a predefined robust command communication protocol, Web-Gewu provides a highly scalable, out-of-the-box, and barrier-free teaching infrastructure for embodied intelligence, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for cutting-edge robotics technology.

In this paper, we present a novel transformer architecture tailored for learning robust power system state representations, which strives to optimize power dispatch for the power flow adjustment across different transmission sections. Specifically, our proposed approach, named Powerformer, develops a dedicated section-adaptive attention mechanism, separating itself from the self-attention used in conventional transformers. This mechanism effectively integrates power system states with transmission section information, which facilitates the development of robust state representations. Furthermore, by considering the graph topology of power system and the electrical attributes of bus nodes, we introduce two customized strategies to further enhance the expressiveness: graph neural network propagation and multi-factor attention mechanism. Extensive evaluations are conducted on three power system scenarios, including the IEEE 118-bus system, a realistic 300-bus system in China, and a large-scale European system with 9241 buses, where Powerformer demonstrates its superior performance over several baseline methods.
