Federated learning (FL), a privacy-preserving distributed machine learning, has been rapidly applied in wireless communication networks. FL enables Internet of Things (IoT) clients to obtain well-trained models while preventing privacy leakage. Person detection can be deployed on edge devices with limited computing power if combined with FL to process the video data directly at the edge. However, due to the different hardware and deployment scenarios of different cameras, the data collected by the camera present non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID), and the global model derived from FL aggregation is less effective. Meanwhile, existing research lacks public data set for real-world FL object detection, which is not conducive to studying the non-IID problem on IoT cameras. Therefore, we open source a non-IID IoT person detection (NIPD) data set, which is collected from five different cameras. To our knowledge, this is the first true device-based non-IID person detection data set. Based on this data set, we explain how to establish a FL experimental platform and provide a benchmark for non-IID person detection. NIPD is expected to promote the application of FL and the security of smart city.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures, with global prevalence estimated at 50 million people worldwide. While progress in high-throughput sequencing has allowed for broad-based transcriptomic profiling of brain tissues, the deciphering of these highly complex datasets remains one of the challenges. To address this issue, in this paper we propose a new analysis pipeline that integrates the power of deep learning strategies with GPU-acceleration computation for investigating Gene expression patterns in epilepsy. Specifically, our proposed approach employs GPT-2 XL, a transformer-based Large Language Model (LLM) with 1.5 billion parameters for genomic sequence analysis over the latest NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs based on Hopper architecture. Our proposed method enables efficient preprocessing of RNA sequence data, gene sequence encoding, and subsequent pattern identification. We conducted experiments on two epilepsy datasets including GEO accession GSE264537 and GSE275235. The obtained results reveal several significant transcriptomic modifications, including reduced hippocampal astrogliosis after ketogenic diet treatment as well as restored excitatory-inhibitory signaling equilibrium in zebrafish epilepsy model. Moreover, our results highlight the effectiveness of leveraging LLMs in combination with advanced hardware acceleration for transcriptomic characterization in neurological diseases.

Next-generation High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments will generate unprecedented data volumes, necessitating High Performance Computing (HPC) integration alongside traditional high-throughput computing. However, HPC adoption in HEP is hindered by the challenge of porting legacy software to heterogeneous architectures and the sparse documentation of these complex scientific codebases. We present CelloAI, a locally hosted coding assistant that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to support HEP code documentation and generation. This local deployment ensures data privacy, eliminates recurring costs and provides access to large context windows without external dependencies. CelloAI addresses two primary use cases, code documentation and code generation, through specialized components. For code documentation, the assistant provides: (a) Doxygen style comment generation for all functions and classes by retrieving relevant information from RAG sources (papers, posters, presentations), (b) file-level summary generation, and (c) an interactive chatbot for code comprehension queries. For code generation, CelloAI employs syntax-aware chunking strategies that preserve syntactic boundaries during embedding, improving retrieval accuracy in large codebases. The system integrates callgraph knowledge to maintain dependency awareness during code modifications and provides AI-generated suggestions for performance optimization and accurate refactoring. We evaluate CelloAI using real-world HEP applications from ATLAS, CMS, and DUNE experiments, comparing different embedding models for code retrieval effectiveness. Our results demonstrate the AI assistant's capability to enhance code understanding and support reliable code generation while maintaining the transparency and safety requirements essential for scientific computing environments.
