This work addresses the challenge of optimal power allocation in stochastic wireless networks without requiring an accurate system model. By formulating resource scheduling as a Markov decision process, the authors employ a deep Q-network (DQN) to learn an adaptive power control policy directly from observed channel states. As the first model-free approach leveraging deep reinforcement learning to achieve performance close to the theoretical optimum, the proposed method attains a system throughput of 3.88 Mbps—nearly matching the water-filling algorithm’s upper bound—and improves upon random and fixed allocation strategies by 73% and 27%, respectively. Moreover, the solution maintains high fairness and energy efficiency, achieving a Jain’s fairness index of 0.91.
Empirical financial research is hindered by limited access to real market data due to privacy constraints and data scarcity. Method: This paper systematically evaluates TimeGAN and VAE for generating synthetic financial return series, proposing a multidimensional validation framework grounded in statistical similarity metrics, temporal structure tests, and mean–variance optimization. Contribution/Results: We demonstrate—first in a financial context—that TimeGAN faithfully replicates key stylized facts, including volatility clustering, autocorrelation, and extreme-event dynamics; synthetic returns yield portfolio weights, Sharpe ratios, and risk metrics deviating by less than 8% from empirical counterparts. In contrast, VAEs—though more stable in training—substantially underrepresent tail risk. Our work establishes an empirical benchmark for deploying synthetic data in downstream financial modeling (e.g., portfolio construction, trading strategy analysis, and risk modeling), enabling reproducible, low-cost, privacy-preserving quantitative research.
Traditional detection and response mechanisms are ineffective against large-scale, generative-AI-driven phishing scams, as they fail to disrupt the underlying financial infrastructure—such as mule accounts and cryptocurrency wallets—that enables fraud. Method: We propose the first large-scale, real-world deployed LLM-powered conversational honeypot system, which engages scammers in human-like dialogues to proactively elicit sensitive financial information. Our approach introduces a rule-augmented dialogue management framework and formally defines two core evaluation metrics: *information leakage rate* and *human acceptance rate*. Contribution/Results: Over a five-month field deployment, the system conducted 2,600+ interactions and collected 18,000 messages, achieving a 32% information leakage rate and a 70% human acceptance rate. It successfully identified critical accounts involved in fund transfers, empirically validating the feasibility and effectiveness of proactive anti-fraud paradigms.
