Healthcare Internet of Things (H-IoT) systems demand ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) to support critical functions such as remote monitoring, emergency response, and real-time diagnostics. However, spectrum scarcity and heterogeneous traffic patterns pose major challenges for centralized scheduling in dense H-IoT deployments. This paper proposed a multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) framework for dynamic, priority-aware spectrum management (PASM), where cooperative MARL agents jointly optimize throughput, latency, energy efficiency, fairness, and blocking probability under varying traffic and channel conditions. Six learning strategies are developed and compared, including Q-Learning, Double Q-Learning, Deep Q-Network (DQN), Actor–Critic, Dueling DQN, and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), within a simulated H-IoT environment that captures heterogeneous traffic, device priorities, and realistic URLLC constraints. A comprehensive simulation study across scalable scenarios ranging from 3 to 50 devices demonstrated that PPO consistently outperforms all baselines, improving mean throughput by 6.2%, reducing 95th-percentile delay by 11.5%, increasing energy efficiency by 11.9%, lowering blocking probability by 33.3%, and accelerating convergence by 75.8% compared to the strongest non-PPO baseline. These findings establish PPO as a robust and scalable solution for QoS-compliant spectrum management in dense H-IoT environments, while Dueling DQN emerges as a competitive deep RL alternative.

Game commentary enhances viewer immersion and understanding, particularly in football video games, where dynamic gameplay offers ideal conditions for automated commentary. The existing methods often rely on predefined templates and game state inputs combined with an LLM, such as GPT-3.5. However, they frequently suffer from repetitive phrasing and delayed responses. Recent studies have attempted to mitigate the response delays by employing traditional machine learning models, such as SVM and ANN, for event prediction. Nonetheless, these models fail to capture the temporal dependencies in gameplay sequences, thereby limiting their predictive performance. To address these limitations, an integrated framework is proposed, combining a lightweight convolutional model with multi-scale temporal filters (OS-CNN) for real-time event prediction and an open-source LLM (LLaMA 3.3) for dynamic commentary generation. Our method incorporates prompt engineering techniques by embedding predicted events into contextualized instruction templates, which enables the LLM to produce fluent and diverse commentary tailored to ongoing gameplay. Evaluated in the Google Research Football environment, the proposed method achieved an F1-score of 0.7470 in the balanced setting, closely matching the best-performing GRU model (0.7547) while outperforming SVM (0.5271) and Transformer (0.7344). In the more realistic Balanced–Imbalanced setting, it attained the highest F1-score of 0.8503, substantially exceeding SVM (0.4708), GRU (0.7376), and Transformer (0.5085). Additionally, it enhances the lexical diversity (Distinct-2: +32.1%) and reduces the phrase repetition by 42.3% (Self-BLEU), compared with template-based generation. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in generating context-aware, low-latency, and natural commentary suitable for real-time deployment in football video games. Full article

Solving stiff partial differential equations with neural networks remains challenging due to the presence of multiple time scales and numerical instabilities that arise during training. This paper addresses these limitations by embedding the mathematical structure of implicit–explicit time integration schemes directly into neural network architectures. The proposed approach preserves the operator splitting decomposition that separates stiff linear terms from non-stiff nonlinear terms, inheriting the stability properties established for these numerical methods. We evaluate the methodology on Allen–Cahn equation dynamics, where interface evolution exhibits the multi-scale behavior characteristic of stiff systems. The structure-preserving architecture achieves improvements in solution accuracy and long-term stability compared to conventional physics-informed approaches, while maintaining proper energy dissipation throughout the evolution.
