Result reproduction of computer networking research is challenging as the scarcity of open-source implementations and the complexity of heterogeneous system architectures. Even though Large Language Models have demonstrated potential in code generation, existing code generation frameworks often fail to address the long-context constraints and intricate logical dependencies, which are vital in reproducing network systems from academic papers. Thus, we introduce RepLLM, an end-to-end multi-agent framework designed to automate code reproduction from paper content. RepLLM features a collaborative architecture comprising four specialized agents—Content Parsing, Architecture Design, Code Generation, and Audit & Repair, which are coordinated through Shared Memory mechanism to ensure global context consistency. With the enhancement of Structured Chain-of-Thought LLM reasoning and a sandbox-isolated static-dynamic debugging methodology, our framework effectively resolves semantic discrepancies and runtime errors, thereby improving reliable reproductions. Extensive evaluations on representative papers in top conferences demonstrate that RepLLM outperforms state-of-the-art system-level LLM frameworks in generating compile-ready and logically correct systems. Our results show that, with the aid of RepLLM, we can reproduce 95% of the original benchmarks within approximately two hours while reducing token consumption by up to 10% compared with state-of-the-art baselines.

Recovering a dense depth image from sparse LiDAR scans is a challenging task. Despite the popularity of color-guided methods for sparse-to-dense depth completion, they treated pixels equally during optimization, ignoring the uneven distribution characteristics in the sparse depth map and the accumulated outliers in the synthesized ground truth. In this work, we introduce uncertainty-driven loss functions to improve the robustness of depth completion and handle the uncertainty in depth completion. Specifically, we propose an explicit uncertainty formulation for robust depth completion with Jeffrey's prior. A parametric uncertain-driven loss is introduced and translated to new loss functions that are robust to noisy or missing data. Meanwhile, we propose a multiscale joint prediction model that can simultaneously predict depth and uncertainty maps. The estimated uncertainty map is also used to perform adaptive prediction on the pixels with high uncertainty, leading to a residual map for refining the completion results. Our method has been tested on KITTI Depth Completion Benchmark and achieved the state-of-the-art robustness performance in terms of MAE, IMAE, and IRMSE metrics.

We initiate the study of quantifying nonlocality of a bipartite measurement by the minimum amount of classical communication required to simulate the measurement. We derive general upper bounds in terms of some tensor norms of the measurement operator. As applications, we show that (a) if the amount of communication is a constant, then quantum and classical communication protocols with an unlimited amount of shared entanglement or shared randomness compute the same class of functions; and (b) it requires only a constant amount of communication to classically generate an approximation of the output distribution resulting from local measurements on an entangled quantum state, as long as the number of measurement outcomes is a constant.
