Abstract
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated remarkable success in various domains, including social network analysis, drug discovery, and recommendation systems. However, their inherent complexity often leads to a "black box" problem, where it is difficult to understand the reasoning behind their predictions. This paper introduces a novel approach to explain GNN predictions by learning symbolic representations of the graph structure. We propose a model that maps the GNN's activations to a symbolic representation, enabling the generation of human-readable explanations. This method addresses the interpretability challenge in GNNs, offering a pathway to trust and confidence in their predictions. The core claim is that by leveraging symbolic representation learning, we can transform opaque GNN behavior into understandable insights. The proposed mechanism provides a foundation for building more transparent and reliable GNN-based systems.
This article presents a model predictive control (MPC) strategy for three-phase inverters based on locality preserving projections (LPPs). Unlike conventional machine learning–based MPC approaches that rely on predefined or high-dimensional input features, the proposed LPP-MPC automatically extracts compact, informative representations by preserving the data’s intrinsic geometric structure. This dimensionality reduction enables fast linear control-law evaluation with computational complexity O(1), making the controller well-suited for real-time implementation. Experimental results demonstrate that the LPP-MPC achieves lower total harmonic distortion (THD) and reduced tracking error compared to quadratic-programming MPC under both linear and nonlinear load conditions, and the proposed controller maintains consistently lower THD throughout load transients than other methods such as two-degree-of-freedom MPC. Compared to existing model-free MPC and deep learning neural network, the LPP-MPC has the lowest THD and root mean square error with the least computational time owing to its efficient linear structure and strong generalization capability.

It is argued that both AI and bullshitters are untrustworthy informants, and for similar reasons, it is natural to describe AI’s informational outputs as bullshit, as it signals their distinctive kind of epistemic deficiencies, which they share with bullshit.
Digital twins (DTs) are rapidly emerging as foundational enablers of 6G smart cities, offering real time monitoring, predictive analytics, and autonomous control across transportation, energy, healthcare, and industrial domains. Large scale DT adoption faces critical barriers including cybersecurity vulnerabilities, privacy risks, and the absence of standardized orchestration frameworks. This article presents Fed-DTOrch, a comprehensive end to end architecture that integrates federated intelligence, blockchain based audit trails, and AI governance to achieve secure and privacy preserving DT management. The proposed three tier architecture spans IoT and edge devices, domain specific twins, and a city level orchestrator, employing secure federated learning for model updates, lightweight cryptographic authentication, and tamper proof logging. We quantify the DT threat landscape, perform a standards gap analysis across ISO/IEC 27001, 3GPP TS 33.501, ITU-T IoT risk frameworks, and NIST AI RMF, and introduce a 6G ready security framework incorporating federated AI trust metrics, secure synchronization, and explainable AI audits. Cross domain evaluation across five smart city sectors demonstrates 35-60% privacy gain, 40-55% attack mitigation, 28-40% reliability uplift, 26-30% latency reduction, and >85% compliance readiness with <10% overhead. These results provide the first integrated blueprint that combines federated intelligence, blockchain-based auditability, and standards gap analysis to enable secure, standardized, and interoperable DT orchestration for trustworthy 6G ecosystems.
