1 +# Agent E — Disciplinary review of the AI and machine-learning area (WP44, Phase 5)
2 +
3 +Date: 2026-11-03. Inputs: `literature_synthesis/landmarks/ai_ml_landmarks.csv` (234 records) and `ai_ml_abstracts.jsonl` (190 non-empty abstracts); `results/bibliometrics/cagr_by_category.csv`; `results/graph/category_counts_yearly.csv`, `category_flows_yearly.csv`; `results/econometrics/breaks.csv`, `its_results.json`; `results/emerging/known_set_lead_times.csv`; `manuscript/references.bib` (verified) and `manuscript/references_part05.bib` (88 entries verified by this agent, see `references_verification_part05.csv`). Claim identifiers [E-nn] refer to `claims.csv`; every corpus number quoted below is read from the file named in the claim and is reproduced in the manuscript only through generated macros or tables (`tab_ai_growth`, `tab_ai_counts`, `tab_ai_breaks`, `tab_ai_altdates`, `tab_ai_flows`, `tab_ai_landmark_flags`, `tab_ai_contribution_types`, `tab_ai_landmarks`). Evidence types: *abstract* = read from the stored abstract; *metadata_only* = title/venue/type/identifiers only; *full_text* = none in this review; *corpus_statistic* = a WP44 result file. No full text was read; nothing below describes the content of a paper beyond what its abstract or metadata states. Preprints are named as preprints. The November 2022 boundary is a reference date, not a cause.
4 +
5 +## 0. The evidence base and its defects
6 +
7 +**The landmark set is not usable as delivered.** The automatic selection (`select_landmarks.py`: highest NCS36 within primary category, floor of fifteen, plus the 200 most cited works overall) returned 234 AI/ML candidates: 33 LLM, 26 AI safety and 25 in each of the other seven categories; 72 are dated 2026 and 39 dated 2025, 136 are typed `article`, 28 `preprint`, 19 `book-chapter`, 11 `dissertation` [E-01, corpus_statistic]. Screening every record against its identifiers, citation counts, venue and abstract (`contributions.csv`, column `data_quality_flag`) flags 44 of 234 (18.8 %) as unreliable [E-02]: 13 *identifier mismatches*, in which the title and abstract belong to an obscure work while the arXiv identifier and the citation count belong to a famous one (the record titled "Toward effective Text-to-MongoDB query translation" carries arXiv 2005.11401, the retrieval-augmented-generation paper, and 3,026 36-month citations; a Portuguese essay on copyright carries 2005.14165, GPT-3; an essay on "theatrical compliance" carries 2201.11903, chain-of-thought prompting; an ICU-simulation preprint carries 2307.09288, Llama 2; a reproduction runner for Adam carries 45,775 citations); 3 *abstract mismatches*, in which a correct title (GPT-4 Technical Report; "GPTs are GPTs"; Powers' evaluation-measures paper) is paired with the abstract of a different work; 11 *implausible years* (mixup, the variational RNN, Soft-SOO, spectral bandits and three other 2013–2019 papers appear as 2024–2026 works, four of them with April–June 2026 arXiv identifiers); 7 *normalisation artefacts* (dissertations with 2–20 citations and NCS36 above 500, because the field-normalised score divides by a tiny reference mean for rare document types and young cohorts); and 10 *off-scope* records (control-theoretic consensus papers under `ai_agents`, an essay on ed-tech "solutionism" under `reinforcement_learning`). The defect is concentrated in the LLM category (8 of 33 flagged for identifier or abstract problems) and in the two "old" categories, ML theory and DL architectures, where misdated classics dominate [E-03]. The mechanism is upstream of this review — OpenAlex work merging and the second-pass arXiv/title linkage of Phase 1 — and must be reported in Part III and audited by Agent N before any landmark statistic is published; the clean count of citation-ranked landmarks in the AI area is therefore 190 at most, and the NCS36 ranking should be re-run with document-type-specific reference sets and a 2026 cohort excluded [E-04, speculative as to remedy].
8 +
9 +**What the set does contain.** Of the 234 records, 84 are surveys, 67 methods, 33 empirical studies, 29 theory/position papers, 17 engineering systems and only 4 benchmarks (`tab_ai_contribution_types`; judged from the abstract for 190, from metadata for 44) [E-05]. Within the LLM and generative-AI categories the citation-ranked top is dominated by education and commentary papers on ChatGPT (Kasneci et al. 2023; Lo 2023; Rudolph, Tan and Tan 2023; Chan and Hu 2023; Baidoo-Anu and Owusu Ansah 2023; Dwivedi et al. 2023; van Dis et al. 2023; Lim et al. 2023), not by the technical papers that introduced the models [E-06]. This is a property of the field-normalised ranking inside a multi-label category that spans computer science, education and information systems: the canonical technical lineage (GPT-4, LLaMA, InstructGPT, chain-of-thought, DPO, QLoRA, BLIP-2, Mamba) is present only where an arXiv record was linked, and the review therefore grounds the technical synthesis on the verified entries of `references.bib` (REFERENCE_MAP Part V) and uses the landmark set to characterise what the corpus *rewards* rather than what the field *invented*.

13 +*Volume.* The LLM category grows from a primary-category count of a few thousand works in 2018–2022 to tens of thousands in 2025, with a post-period CAGR of 1.085 against 0.189 in the baseline (`cagr_by_category.csv`); generative AI (0.870 vs 0.296), multimodal AI (0.869 vs 0.284), foundation models (0.802 vs 0.661) and AI safety (0.647 vs 0.294) follow; reinforcement learning (0.252 vs 0.208) and ML theory (0.197 vs 0.104) accelerate modestly; DL architectures decelerate slightly (0.155 vs 0.167); AI agents reverse from a negative baseline CAGR (−0.045) to 0.329 [E-07, corpus_statistic]. The LLM share of eligible works rises from 0.33 % (2018) to 5.06 % (2025) [E-08]. Multi-label counts (`tab_ai_counts`) are three to ten times larger than primary counts because the AI categories overlap heavily; the ordering of growth rates is the same under both definitions.
14 +
15 +*Structural change.* The interrupted time series at 2022-12 (`breaks.csv`) shows, for the LLM series, a level change of 0.106 log points (HAC p = 0.075) and a slope change of 0.034 log points per month (p ≈ 10⁻⁶⁰), with a placebo p-value of 0.938 for the level and 0.200 for the slope; the Bai–Perron procedure selects a single break at 2022-07 and PELT a change point at 2023-10 [E-09]. The same pattern — no significant level jump at the reference month, a strongly significant slope change, placebo p-values that do not single out December 2022, data-driven breaks before or well after it — holds for multimodal (slope 0.024; break 2022-04) and generative AI (slope 0.019; break 2021-11). AI agents (level −0.210, p = 0.028; slope 0.040), reinforcement learning (level −0.164, p = 0.013) and AI safety (level −0.206, p = 0.002) show *negative* level changes with positive slope changes, i.e. a dip followed by acceleration; DL architectures is the only AI category with no significant slope change (−0.002, p = 0.136) [E-10]. At the alternative event dates the picture is monotone: level effects at the GPT-3 (2020-06) and DALL-E 2 (2022-05) dates are negative for every AI category, while those at the GPT-4 (2023-04) and o1 (2024-09) dates are positive and significant for LLM, multimodal and generative AI (`tab_ai_altdates`) [E-11]. The conservative reading is that the AI literature's acceleration is a trend change that was already under way in mid-2022 and steepened through 2023–2024; the monthly series cannot attribute it to a single product release, and the manuscript must not do so [E-12, established as a statement about the estimates].
16 +
17 +*Knowledge flows.* In-corpus references of LLM works went to NLP for 69.6 % in 2019 and 68.6 % in 2022, but only 34.2 % in 2025, when 28.4 % go to the LLM category itself, 4.3 % to HCI and 3.4 % to software engineering (`category_flows_yearly.csv`) [E-13]. Generative-AI works cited computer vision for 53.6 % (2019) and 57.9 % (2022) of their in-corpus references and 33.8 % in 2025, when 13.7 % go to LLM and 6.6 % to HCI; AI-safety works cite LLM for 10.0 % and HCI for 11.5 % in 2025 against 0.1 % and 9.1 % in 2019 [E-14]. Reinforcement learning moves the other way — its share of references to robotics rises from 14.4 % to 23.1 % and to LLM stays below 1 % — and ML theory and DL architectures are essentially unchanged [E-15]. The LLM category has thus become a citation hub for generative AI, safety and agents while remaining peripheral to RL, theory and architectures; this is the corpus-level answer to RQ5 at the level of categories, and it is consistent with but does not establish the "foundation model" convergence thesis (Bommasani et al. 2021) [E-16, contested].
18 +
19 +*Emergence lead times.* In the preregistered known-emergence set (`known_set_lead_times.csv`) the detector flags "large language models" 34 months before its peak-growth month, retrieval-augmented generation 12 months, vision-language models 9, diffusion models 9, LLM agents 6, mixture-of-experts 5, speculative decoding 5, state-space models 6, reasoning models 29; mechanistic interpretability has a negative lead (−18), its peak-growth month preceding detection [E-17]. The median lead over the set is 7 months. The long LLM lead reflects the slow pre-2020 literature on "language models" matched by the regex, not foresight.
20 +
21 +## 2. Large language and foundation models
22 +
23 +*Established.* The decoder-only Transformer scaled with data and compute (Vaswani et al. 2017; Brown et al. 2020; Chowdhery et al. 2022) remains the dominant architecture inside the window; the compute-optimal scaling result of Hoffmann et al. (2022) — more tokens per parameter than Kaplan et al. (2020) implied — is reflected in the open-weight lineage LLaMA → Llama 2 → Llama 3 (Touvron et al. 2023a,b; Dubey et al. 2024; all preprints), whose LLaMA abstract reports a 13B model outperforming GPT-3 on most benchmarks while trained only on public data [E-18, abstract]. Closed frontier releases are documented by technical reports without training details (OpenAI 2023; Gemini Team 2023; OpenAI 2024) and must be cited as such. Domain-specific foundation models are the most visible post-2022 development in the landmark set: self-supervised pathology encoders UNI, CONCH, CHIEF, PLIP and TITAN (Chen et al. 2024; Lu et al. 2024; Wang et al. 2024; Huang et al. 2023; Ding et al. 2025), radiology (Wu et al. 2025), dermatology (Yan et al. 2025), brain MRI (Tak et al. 2026), the Earth system (Bodnar et al. 2025), tabular data (Hollmann et al. 2025), time series (Jin et al. 2023 preprint; Liu et al. 2024) and human cognition (Binz et al. 2025) — all peer-reviewed journal or conference papers whose abstracts report outperforming task-specific baselines on multi-task benchmarks [E-19, abstract]. The adaptation toolkit — LoRA, QLoRA, LLaMA-Adapter, PEFT surveys (Hu et al. 2021; Dettmers et al. 2023; Zhang et al. 2023 preprint; Han et al. 2024 preprint) — is where the open-weight ecosystem's practical growth concentrated; the QLoRA abstract's claim of "99.3 % of ChatGPT" on the Vicuna benchmark is a judge-based measurement, not a capability proof [E-20, abstract].
24 +
25 +*Contested.* Emergent abilities: Wei et al. (2022, preprint) report discontinuous capability jumps with scale; Schaeffer et al. (2023, preprint) show that the discontinuities largely disappear under linear or continuous metrics. Both are preprints; the corpus cannot adjudicate and the manuscript should present the disagreement as a measurement question [E-21]. "Sparks of AGI" (Bubeck et al. 2023, preprint) reports qualitative experiments on an early GPT-4 and "contends" general intelligence; it is widely cited (1,420 c36 in the landmark file) but is an unreplicated, non-peer-reviewed position [E-22]. Pure-RL reasoning: the DeepSeek-R1 Nature paper (Guo et al. 2025) reports that reasoning "can be incentivized through pure reinforcement learning, obviating the need for human-labelled reasoning trajectories"; it is peer reviewed, but the generality of the recipe beyond verifiable domains is untested in the corpus [E-23, abstract].
26 +
27 +*Speculative.* That domain foundation models will displace task-specific pipelines in regulated domains; the radiology review by Paschali et al. (2025) and the data-centric survey of Zhang et al. (2026) list data, privacy and evaluation obstacles that the landmark abstracts do not resolve [E-24].
28 +
29 +## 3. Alignment and post-training
30 +
31 +The RLHF recipe (Christiano et al. 2017; Ouyang et al. 2022; Bai et al. 2022a,b) and its closed-form successor DPO (Rafailov et al. 2023, NeurIPS; the abstract is unavailable in the landmark file) are established methods whose limitations are documented by Casper et al. (2023, preprint) [E-25]. The corpus flows show RL's citations to LLM remaining below 1 % through 2025 [E-15], so the "RL renaissance" through post-training is visible in the LLM category rather than in the RL category: the categorisation separates the two communities even where the methods are shared. Jailbreak and adversarial-prompt work — universal suffixes (Zou et al. 2023, preprint), the "jailbroken" analysis (Wei et al. 2023, preprint) and PAIR, which the abstract reports generates semantic jailbreaks with black-box access "in twenty queries" (Chao et al. 2025, IEEE SaTML) — establishes that current alignment is brittle to optimisation pressure [E-26, abstract]. Whether this brittleness is intrinsic to RLHF-style alignment or an artefact of current training scale is unresolved (open problem P-03).
32 +
33 +## 4. Reasoning, retrieval and tools
34 +
35 +Chain-of-thought prompting (Wei et al. 2022; Kojima et al. 2022), tree-of-thought (Yao et al. 2023a) and Reflexion (Shinn et al. 2023) are preprints or NeurIPS papers whose claims rest on benchmark gains; the reasoning-model turn (OpenAI 2024; Guo et al. 2025) moves the computation to inference time. The known-set detector flagged "reasoning models" in 2023-06, 29 months before the peak-growth month of 2025-11, because the regex includes chain-of-thought [E-17]. Retrieval augmentation (Lewis et al. 2020; Karpukhin et al. 2020; Gao et al. 2023 survey) is the most adopted pattern (12,896 matching works; detection 2023-10, peak growth 2024-10) [E-17]. Tool use — ReAct, Toolformer, ToolLLM (Yao et al. 2023b; Schick et al. 2023; Qin et al. 2023) — is the bridge to agents. Hallucination remains an unsolved measurement problem (Ji et al. 2023; Huang et al. 2025); Singhal et al. (2023, Nature) built the MultiMedQA benchmark and a human evaluation axis precisely because automated metrics were insufficient for clinical answers [E-27, abstract]. Code generation (Chen et al. 2021; Li et al. 2022; Rozière et al. 2023; Li et al. 2023) and its productivity evidence (Peng et al. 2023; Ziegler et al. 2022) belong to Part VII-a's software-engineering synthesis; the detector's lead time for "AI code generation" is 10 months.
36 +
37 +## 5. Multimodal and generative AI
38 +
39 +*Established.* Contrastive image–text pre-training (Radford et al. 2021) and vision Transformers (Dosovitskiy et al. 2021) underlie the vision-language models of the window: Flamingo, BLIP-2, InstructBLIP, LLaVA, mPLUG-Owl2 (Alayrac et al. 2022; Li et al. 2023 preprint; Dai et al. 2023 preprint; Liu et al. 2023 preprint; Ye et al. 2024 CVPR) share the design of a frozen or lightly adapted LLM fed by a visual encoder through a small bridge; SAM (Kirillov et al. 2023) is the promptable-segmentation analogue [E-28]. LAION-5B (Schuhmann et al. 2022) made open CLIP-scale training possible. Diffusion models (Ho et al. 2020; Rombach et al. 2022; Saharia et al. 2022; Ramesh et al. 2022), classifier-free guidance (Ho and Salimans 2022 preprint), textual inversion (Gal et al. 2022 preprint), T2I-Adapter (Mou et al. 2024, AAAI), DiT (Peebles and Xie 2023) and SD3 (Esser et al. 2024 preprint) form the generative lineage, with MatterGen (Zeni et al. 2025, Nature) as a peer-reviewed scientific application reporting stable, diverse inorganic materials [E-29, abstract]. Speech follows the same self-supervised path (Baevski et al. 2020; Hsu et al. 2021; Radford et al. 2023).
40 +
41 +*Contested.* Multimodal grounding in medicine: the evaluation of eight multimodal foundation models on 1,090 cases reports that image predictions are "largely driven by text" and that mild textual suggestions of a wrong diagnosis degrade image classification (Buckley et al. 2026, Nature Communications) [E-30, abstract]; the scoping review of 432 medical multimodal papers (Schouten et al. 2025) and the low-quality-data survey (Zhang et al. 2026) describe missing-modality and noise robustness as open. Whether current VLMs *fuse* or merely *condition on* modalities is therefore unsettled (P-05).
42 +
43 +*Corpus.* Generative AI is the category whose citation profile changed most: from a vision-centred (53.6 %) to a split vision/LLM/HCI profile [E-14]; its citation-ranked landmarks are, however, overwhelmingly education and policy studies (Chan 2023; Xia et al. 2024; Bittle and El-Gayar 2025; McDonald et al. 2025; the OECD 2026 Outlook; Bastani et al. 2024 SSRN preprint reporting that GPT-4 access harmed unassisted exam performance) and adoption surveys (Bick, Blandin and Deming 2026: 45 % of US adults 18–64 using generative AI by late 2024, per the abstract) [E-31, abstract]. Technical generative-AI papers are counted in the category but rarely reach its citation top.
44 +
45 +## 6. AI agents
46 +
47 +*Established.* LLM-based agents are surveyed by Wang et al. (2024), Xi et al. (2023 preprint), Guo et al. (2024) and Cheng et al. (2026); memory mechanisms by Zhang et al. (2025); architectures include generative agents (Park et al. 2023), AutoGen (Wu et al. 2023 preprint), MemGPT (Packer et al. 2023 preprint) and "LLM as OS" proposals (Mei et al. 2024; Ge et al. 2023, preprints). Benchmarks — SWE-bench, WebArena, AgentBench (Jimenez et al. 2024; Zhou et al. 2023; Liu et al. 2023, preprints) — are preprints; the only peer-reviewed agent benchmark in the landmark set is the clinical evaluation of OpenManus and Manus (Liu et al. 2026, npj Digital Medicine) [E-32]. Science agents are the strongest peer-reviewed evidence: the Virtual Lab (Swanson et al. 2025, Nature) designed nanobodies with experimental validation, Robin (Ghareeb et al. 2026, Nature) automates hypothesis generation and data analysis in experimental biology, DIVE (Zhang et al. 2026) extracts data from figures for materials discovery; AgentSociety (Piao et al. 2026) simulates LLM-driven populations [E-33, abstract]. The AI-scientist preprints (Lu et al. 2024; Si et al. 2024) remain hypotheses.
48 +
49 +*Contested.* The "agentic AI" definitional literature — Acharya et al. (2025), Sapkota et al. (2026), Bandi et al. (2025), Abou Ali et al. (2025), Allmendinger et al. (2026), Collaço et al. (2026) — produced at least six taxonomies in 2025–2026, most of which are themselves reviews of reviews; the landmark set contains six of them and one benchmark [E-34]. Whether "agentic AI" denotes a distinct class of systems or a relabelling of tool-augmented LLM pipelines is unresolved (P-06). The ai_agents category is heterogeneous: its series mixes classical multi-agent systems and control theory (four off-scope landmarks) with LLM agents, which explains the negative baseline CAGR, the negative 2022-12 level change and the second Bai–Perron break at 2024-07 [E-35]. The detector's lead time for LLM agents is 6 months (detection 2023-10, peak 2024-04).
50 +
51 +*Speculative.* Trust, risk and security management for multi-agent LLM systems (Raza et al. 2026) is a framework without empirical validation.
52 +
53 +## 7. Reinforcement learning
54 +
55 +The deep-RL canon of the baseline period is intact in the landmark set — Rainbow, SAC, TD3, AlphaZero, AlphaStar, MAPPO (Hessel et al. 2018; Haarnoja et al. 2018 preprint; Fujimoto et al. 2018; Silver et al. 2018; Vinyals et al. 2019; Yu et al. 2022), the reproducibility warning of Henderson et al. (2018) and the curiosity study of Burda et al. (2019) — and the single post-2022 method landmark is DreamerV3 (Hafner et al. 2025, Nature), whose abstract reports one configuration mastering over 150 tasks through world models [E-36, abstract]. The MPC–RL survey (Reiter et al. 2026) and the MARL overview (Zhang et al. 2021) frame the field's control-theoretic side. RL's post-2022 slope change (0.012) is the smallest among the accelerating AI categories and its citations go increasingly to robotics (23.1 % in 2025) [E-15]. The field's most consequential post-2022 role — reward modelling and policy optimisation for LLMs (PPO, DPO, GRPO in DeepSeek-R1) — is invisible in the RL category because those papers are classified as LLM work; any claim that "RL declined" after 2022 would be an artefact of the taxonomy [E-37, contested].
56 +
57 +## 8. Machine-learning theory and deep-learning architectures
58 +
59 +The ML-theory landmark set contains no learning-theory result from the window: it is textbooks (Alpaydin; Zaki and Meira), evaluation metrics (Chicco and Jurman 2020), interpretability (Rudin 2019; Lipton 2018; Lundberg et al. 2020; Verma and Pearl 2022 reprint), optimisation (Bottou, Curtis and Nocedal 2018), transfer learning (Zhuang et al. 2021) and misdated 2013–2019 bandit papers [E-38]. The category as classified is "general machine learning", and its citation top rewards pedagogy and measurement conventions; theoretical work on transformers, in-context learning or scaling (which does exist in the window) is classified elsewhere or cited too little in 36 months to surface. The DL-architectures set is the mirror image: GNN surveys (Wu et al. 2021; Zhou et al. 2020), time-series Transformers and their refutation — Zeng et al. (2023) report that simple linear models outperform Informer-style Transformers on long-term forecasting benchmarks (Zhou et al. 2021; Wen et al. 2023) [E-39, abstract, contested within the field]; mixup (Zhang et al. 2018); Mamba (Gu and Dao 2023, preprint) and KAN (Liu et al. 2024, preprint) as the two architectural proposals of the window, both unreviewed; TabPFN (Hollmann et al. 2025, Nature) as the peer-reviewed one. Efficiency work — FlashAttention, MoE, INT8/GPTQ quantisation, speculative decoding (Dao et al. 2022; Fedus et al. 2022; Dettmers et al. 2022; Frantar et al. 2023; Leviathan et al. 2023; Gholami et al. 2022) — is where architecture research actually moved, and the detector finds short leads for state-space models (6 months), MoE (5) and speculative decoding (5), i.e. these topics were detected only months before their growth peaked [E-40]. DL architectures is the one AI category without a significant post-2022 slope change [E-10]; whether this is a plateau or a relabelling of architecture papers under LLM/foundation categories cannot be decided from the counts (P-08).
60 +
61 +## 9. Evaluation
62 +
63 +Static benchmarks (GLUE, SuperGLUE, MMLU, BIG-bench: Wang et al. 2018, 2019; Hendrycks et al. 2021; Srivastava et al. 2022), holistic evaluation (Liang et al. 2022), arena-style human preference (Chiang et al. 2024 preprint) and LLM-as-judge (Zheng et al. 2023 preprint) coexist with documented contamination (Sainz et al. 2023), benchmark saturation and the "benchmark lottery" (Dehghani et al. 2021; Ott et al. 2022; Raji et al. 2021; Kiela et al. 2021; Recht et al. 2019). The landmark set contains four benchmark contributions in 234 (SuperGLUE, LAION-5B, MultiMedQA, the clinical agent benchmark) [E-05]; evaluation is under-rewarded by citation ranking relative to its role. The SuperGLUE abstract already records in 2019 that GLUE performance "surpassed the level of non-expert humans", the first instance of the saturation cycle that repeats for MMLU within the window [E-41, abstract]. No landmark abstract reports a contamination-controlled evaluation (P-09).
64 +
65 +## 10. Safety, alignment, fairness and societal evidence
66 +
67 +*Established.* Risk taxonomies have matured from the concrete-problems agenda (Amodei et al. 2016; Hendrycks et al. 2021) to the AI Risk Repository, which the abstract describes as a living database of 1,725 risks from 74 taxonomies (Slattery et al. 2026, Patterns), the International AI Safety Report (Bengio et al. 2025) and the Science perspective on extreme risks (Bengio et al. 2024) [E-42]. Fairness and explainability surveys (Mehrabi et al. 2021; Barredo Arrieta et al. 2020; Ali et al. 2023; Miller 2019) dominate the AI-safety landmark top, i.e. the category's citation top is pre-LLM "responsible AI". Empirical harms with peer review: medical LLMs are vulnerable to data poisoning at 0.001 % of training tokens (Alber et al. 2025, Nature Medicine), four chatbots gave unsafe answers to patient questions in a physician-led red-teaming (Draelos et al. 2026), LLMs express stigma and respond inappropriately as replacement therapists (Moore et al. 2025, FAccT) [E-43, abstract]. Inference energy of general-purpose models exceeds that of task-specific ones by orders of magnitude (Luccioni et al. 2024; de Vries 2023) [E-44]. Labour and adoption: Eloundou et al. (2024), Dell'Acqua et al. (2023 preprint; the Organization Science version is in the landmark set) and Bick et al. (2026) are the peer-reviewed or preregistered evidence [E-45].
68 +
69 +*Contested.* Catastrophic-risk framing (Hendrycks et al. 2023; Shevlane et al. 2023; both preprints) versus the "stochastic parrots" critique (Bender et al. 2021); the corpus shows the AI-safety category citing LLM work for 10 % of its references in 2025 against 0.1 % in 2019 [E-14], so the field has re-oriented, but no landmark abstract reports a validated measurement of a catastrophic capability (P-10). Governance: Papagiannidis et al. (2025) and the healthcare maturity model (2026 review) are frameworks; McDonald et al. (2025) document 116 university policies — descriptive, not evaluative.
70 +
71 +## 11. Reconciliations and what the corpus cannot say
72 +
73 +1. *Growth vs discontinuity.* The AI categories accelerated; the acceleration is a slope change dated by data-driven methods to mid-2022 or later and not a December-2022 level jump [E-09–E-12]. Statements of the form "ChatGPT caused a surge" are not supported by the design.
74 +2. *Impact vs invention.* Citation-ranked landmarks in LLM and generative AI are commentary and education papers; the technical lineage is cited through arXiv records that the linkage sometimes misattached [E-02, E-06]. Any "most influential papers" list for AI must be built from a cleaned identifier graph.
75 +3. *RL and architectures.* Their apparent stagnation is partly taxonomic [E-37, P-08].
76 +4. *Agents.* Six taxonomies and one peer-reviewed benchmark [E-34]; science agents are the exception with experimental validation [E-33].
77 +5. *Evidence tiers.* 28 of 234 landmarks are preprints and 72 are dated 2026 with 12-month windows; everything said about 2025–2026 is provisional.

1 +# Agent F — Systems and Computing Infrastructure: disciplinary synthesis (WP44, Phase 5)
2 +
3 +Scope: database systems, information retrieval, distributed computing, cloud computing, edge computing, computer networks
4 +(area `data_distributed`); computer architecture, accelerators and AI hardware, operating systems, quantum computing,
5 +sustainable computing (area `hardware_emerging`). Inputs: `literature_synthesis/landmarks/{data_distributed,hardware_emerging}_landmarks.csv`
6 +and `_abstracts.jsonl`, `results/graph/category_counts_yearly.csv`, `results/graph/category_flows_yearly.csv`,
7 +`results/bibliometrics/cagr_by_category.csv`, `results/econometrics/breaks.csv`, `manuscript/references.bib`.
8 +Every claim below is indexed in `claims.csv` (F-01 … F-43); every landmark discussed is typed in `contributions.csv`;
9 +unresolved questions are in `open_problems.csv` (OP-F01 … OP-F13). Evidence is metadata and abstracts only; no full text
10 +was read. Preprints are named as such. Nothing in this review attributes a change to ChatGPT.
11 +
12 +## 1. What the evidence base is, and what it is not
13 +
14 +### 1.1 The candidate lists
15 +
16 +The two landmark lists contain 152 and 125 records, that is 25 per category after the floor rule of
17 +`select_landmarks.py` (top works by NCS36 within primary category; for 2025–2026, c12 relative to the year mean). Between
18 +10 (distributed computing, operating systems) and 20 (AI accelerators, sustainable computing) records per category fall in
19 +the post period. Abstracts are available for 14 of 25 accelerator records and for 19–24 of 25 elsewhere (F-10).
20 +
21 +Two properties of the scoring rule shape what follows. First, because 2025–2026 records are ranked by c12 relative to a
22 +year mean that is itself small, several 2026 "landmarks" have nine to thirty citations in total (F-11); they are
23 +provisional and are treated here as indications of what is being cited now, not as established landmarks. Second,
24 +NCS36 rewards records that OpenAlex has re-dated: the distributed-computing list opens with MapReduce, Lamport's
25 +"Time, clocks" and "The Byzantine generals problem" recorded as 2018–2019 re-publications, an OpenMP `taskwait`
26 +paper carries c36 = 12,891, an eBPF preprint dated 2020 carries the DOI of a 2026 OASIcs volume, and NumPy
27 +("Array programming with NumPy", c36 = 5,512) is the top baseline record of computer architecture (F-36). These
28 +anomalies are documented in `contributions.csv` and `claims.csv` and should be fed to the data-quality discussion of
29 +Parts III and XI; they are not discussed as scientific contributions of the period.
30 +
31 +### 1.2 Misclassified records (excluded from the synthesis, listed for Agent K)
32 +
33 +The rule-based classifier assigns to the systems categories a number of records that are not systems research. The
34 +clearest cases are: `cloud_computing` 110250037 (a dissertation on teaching Chinese as a second language), 4364375730
35 +(social health protection during COVID), 4385584867 and 4386827074 (energy-management book chapters);
36 +`database_systems` 3080729669 and 3032576892 (student dissertations), 3005599391 (an ethnography of mobile phones),
37 +3037795158 (digital technology in pandemic response, *Lancet Digital Health*), 4324129606 (data quality of online
38 +human-subjects panels), 4402762189 and 4408925021 (e-learning), 7161586974 (Paleobiology Database user guide);
39 +`operating_systems` 3092732687 and 3134501457 (student dissertations), 4366587887 (educational technology),
40 +7130515337 (nursing students' AI literacy), 7162190207 (AI mental-health therapy), 7131624127 (feature selection),
41 +7127083763 (regulatory sandboxes); `quantum_computing` 4386285839 (strategic transformation of higher education),
42 +4407091026 (mammography screening); `sustainable_computing` 4403458785, 4407614581, 7122842330, 7128511066, 7131638452
43 +(higher education, banking, globalisation, product passports); `distributed_computing` 3182706339 (a statistics paper
44 +on R-squared), 7130586201, 7123363719, 7118998287 (control theory); `computer_architecture` 3099878876 (NumPy),
45 +3046751266 and 3016932526 (molecular-dynamics and DFT codes), 2952332632 (autonomous-vehicle architecture);
46 +`edge_computing` 3017623177, 3023398824, 3006456063, 3023617420 (COVID-era application reviews), 4401806686
47 +(generic AI overview); `information_retrieval` 4395483946 (generative AI in higher education). Roughly one record in
48 +five in the two lists is of this kind. This is a finding about the taxonomy (OP-F12), and it means that the category-level
49 +statistics of §2 carry classification noise whose magnitude is not estimated here.
50 +
51 +A second group is in scope but is not "research of the period": IETF RFCs (Multipath TCP 2020, SCTP 2022, BPF ISA
52 +2024), textbooks and handbooks (*Principles of Distributed Database Systems*, *Wireless Communications*, *Spatial Data
53 +Science*), a Linked-Data chapter and a Semantic-Web reprint. They record what the field cites, not what it produced.
54 +
55 +### 1.3 How the review reads the rest
56 +
57 +After these exclusions, 74 records are discussed and typed in `contributions.csv`. Every statement about a paper's
58 +content is taken from its abstract; where the abstract is missing (Nature 2025 photonic accelerator; the 2025 barren-plateau
59 +review; the LLM-for-recommendation survey; the processing-in-memory primer) the statement is from title and venue
60 +only, and `claims.csv` says so.
61 +
62 +## 2. The eleven categories in the corpus
63 +
64 +### 2.1 Volume and growth
65 +
66 +`cagr_by_category.csv` (eligible works by primary category; 2026 excluded as incomplete) separates the eleven
67 +categories into two groups (F-04, F-05). Seven classical categories — computer architecture, operating systems,
68 +distributed computing, cloud computing, computer networks, database systems and information retrieval — *declined*
69 +between 2018 and 2022 (baseline CAGR between −0.018 for IR and −0.087 for operating systems) and *grew* between
70 +2023 and 2025 (post CAGR between 0.071 for networks and 0.198 for cloud). Four categories grew in both periods:
71 +edge computing (0.133 then 0.126), quantum computing (0.103 then 0.287), sustainable computing (0.092 then 0.233) and
72 +AI accelerators (0.148 then 0.092). The shares of the classical categories in total primary output fell throughout:
73 +computer networks, the largest, from 0.118 in 2018 to 0.067 in 2025; architecture from 0.039 to 0.023; databases from
74 +0.033 to 0.019. Quantum computing rose from 0.0125 to 0.0196. The relative decline of the classical systems fields is
75 +a pre-2022 phenomenon that continued after 2022 even as their absolute output recovered.
76 +
77 +### 2.2 Structural change
78 +
79 +In the interrupted time-series model of Part IV (`breaks.csv`, monthly log-volume, event 2022-12), all eleven
80 +categories show a positive and significant change in trend (F-01): from 0.004 per month for edge computing
81 +(p = 0.006) to 0.023 for information retrieval, with 0.020 for distributed computing, 0.019 for cloud, 0.018 for
82 +accelerators and quantum, 0.016 for architecture, operating systems and sustainable computing, 0.014 for databases
83 +and 0.009 for networks. This uniformity is itself informative: the trend steepening is not confined to the categories
84 +that have anything to do with language models. The placebo test confirms the point (F-02): for every category the
85 +share of placebo event dates whose slope statistic is at least as extreme is 0.062 or more (architecture 0.062,
86 +distributed and edge 0.077, databases and IR 0.092, accelerators, quantum and sustainable 0.169, networks 0.200, cloud
87 +0.231, operating systems 0.477). Level changes at 2022-12 are heterogeneous in sign (F-03): negative and significant
88 +for IR (−0.094), accelerators (−0.113) and quantum (−0.087); positive and significant for networks (+0.043) and
89 +sustainable computing (+0.049); indistinguishable from zero for the others — and placebo level p-values are all above
90 +0.47. Bai–Perron break dates selected by BIC are scattered (F-06): 2022-01 and 2025-04 for quantum, 2022-02 for
91 +networks, 2022-07 for sustainable computing, 2022-07 and 2024-07 for distributed computing and IR, 2022-11 and
92 +2025-01 for cloud (the only 2022-11 break), 2023-05 for architecture, 2023-09 for operating systems, 2023-11 for
93 +databases, 2024-11 for accelerators, 2025-01 for edge computing. The reading that the corpus supports is a
94 +field-wide acceleration of output from 2022–2023 onwards that the November 2022 date does not single out, superimposed
95 +on a prior decline of the classical categories, so that mean reversion competes with any infrastructure-demand
96 +explanation (F-39, OP-F13).
97 +
98 +### 2.3 Citation flows
99 +
100 +Aggregating `category_flows_yearly.csv` over citing years 2018–2022 and 2023–2026 (calendar years, not the 30 November
101 +boundary), the systems categories remain strongly self-referential (F-07): in the post years the self-share is 84.9 %
102 +for quantum computing, 72.4 % for networks, 59.2 % for IR, 57.7 % for architecture, 40.6 % for databases, 34.7 % for
103 +accelerators, 33.1 % for cloud, 29.8 % for distributed computing, 24.4 % for edge computing, 16.0 % for operating
104 +systems and 11.3 % for sustainable computing. Shares moved by less than four points between periods (F-08). Three
105 +details matter for the synthesis (F-09): the `llm` category enters the seven largest destinations of IR references only
106 +in the post years (3.0 %); operating systems now sends more references to computer architecture (18.8 %) than to
107 +itself; edge computing and sustainable computing cite computer networks more than their own category in both periods,
108 +which is as much a statement about where the classifier draws boundaries as about intellectual dependence.
109 +
110 +## 3. Computer architecture, accelerators and operating systems
111 +
112 +### 3.1 Architecture: the most cited work is machine-learning systems
113 +
114 +Once scientific software and misclassified records are removed, the post-2022 architecture landmarks are a coherent
115 +set (F-37): *PyTorch 2* (ASPLOS 2024), whose abstract reports that TorchDynamo captures graphs by rewriting Python
116 +bytecode and that TorchInductor yields geometric-mean speedups of 2.27× for inference and 1.41× for training on the
117 +authors' model suite (F-16; a vendor-authored evaluation); *Splitwise* (ISCA 2024), which characterises LLM inference
118 +as a compute-bound prompt phase and a memory-bound token-generation phase and places them on different machine
119 +pools (F-14); *AWQ* (the GetMobile reprint of the MLSys 2024 paper), an activation-aware weight-quantisation method
120 +with an on-device inference framework; the *AI and Memory Wall* perspective (IEEE Micro 2024), which states that peak
121 +server FLOPS scaled at 3.0× per two years over twenty years against 1.6× for DRAM bandwidth and 1.4× for interconnect
122 +bandwidth, and argues that decoder inference is bandwidth-bound (F-15); and a 2025 ACM Computing Surveys review of
123 +deep-learning accelerators for heterogeneous HPC platforms (GPU, TPU, FPGA, ASIC, RISC-V, processing-in-memory,
124 +neuromorphic). The baseline list adds the processing-in-memory primer and Ben-Nun and Hoefler's concurrency analysis
125 +of distributed deep learning. The lineage is the one the bibliography already documents — the end of Dennard scaling
126 +and the "golden age" of domain-specific architecture, TPU v1 and v4, GPU evolution — and the post-2022 landmarks are
127 +its continuation under one workload. What is established is that the architecture community's most cited output of
128 +2023–2025 concerns LLM training and serving; what is not established, from abstracts, is whether the memory-wall
129 +diagnosis holds as the installed base changes (OP-F02).
130 +
131 +### 3.2 Accelerators: photonic and neuromorphic demonstrations, and a classification artefact
132 +
133 +The accelerator list is the most distorted by classification (F-12): at least ten of its twenty post-period records are
134 +memristive or chaotic Hopfield-network circuit papers in *Integration*, *Neural Networks*, *IEEE TCYB* and *Chaos,
135 +Solitons & Fractals*, a nonlinear-dynamics literature that the topic classifier maps to AI hardware. Digital
136 +accelerators (TPU v4, GPUs) are absent from the list though present in the bibliography (F-43); they appear to be
137 +classified under architecture. What remains is a photonic and neuromorphic thread: Loihi (IEEE Micro 2018), the
138 +neuromorphic-computing perspective of *Nature Computational Science* (2022), the *Taichi* photonic chiplet
139 +(*Science* 2024; the abstract reports 160 TOPS/W and on-chip 1,000-category classification), *Universal photonic
140 +artificial intelligence acceleration* (*Nature* 2025; abstract unavailable), an optical-neural-network review
141 +(*Light: Science & Applications* 2024), and 2026 *Nature Communications* papers on an electro-optic analog memory
142 +(the abstract reports a >26× power saving in analysis relative to SRAM–DAC designs) and a hyper-multiplexed
143 +matrix–matrix optical processor. These are device-level demonstrations with device-level efficiency metrics; the
144 +abstracts do not report end-to-end energy including conversion and memory, and the review treats their system-level
145 +impact as speculative (F-17, OP-F03). The category's level drop at 2022-12 (−0.113, p = 0.027) and late BIC break
146 +(2024-11) do not suggest a language-model-driven surge in this literature.
147 +
148 +### 3.3 Operating systems: GPU resource management as the OS problem of the period
149 +
150 +Operating systems is the smallest of the eleven categories (1,363 primary works in 2025) and the one that declined
151 +fastest before 2022 (−0.087 per year), recovering at 0.078 per year afterwards (F-35). Its post-period landmarks are
152 +*PowerInfer* (SOSP 2024), a GPU–CPU hybrid engine that keeps "hot" neurons on a consumer GPU and computes "cold" ones
153 +on the CPU, exploiting a power-law activation distribution; *Orion* (EuroSys 2024), which intercepts kernel launches
154 +from several clients and schedules at operator granularity to limit interference; and *vAttention* (ASPLOS 2025),
155 +which argues that PagedAttention's non-contiguous KV-cache layout imposes programming and performance overheads and
156 +restores contiguity with CUDA virtual memory. Read together with vLLM (SOSP 2023, classified under distributed
157 +computing), this is a live design controversy over memory abstractions for LLM serving (F-13, OP-F01), evaluated by
158 +each system's own authors on particular hardware. The baseline landmarks — *Keystone* (EuroSys 2020, customisable TEEs
159 +on RISC-V), *Nightcore* (ASPLOS 2021, sub-millisecond serverless), the Berkeley serverless view (preprint), persistent-
160 +memory key-value stores — show the field's pre-2022 concerns (serverless, TEEs, persistent memory) that the landmark
161 +lists no longer register after 2023. The BPF instruction-set RFC (2024) and an in-kernel aggregation preprint point to
162 +kernel-extension technology as an infrastructure theme, on thin evidence (F-42). Operating systems is also the
163 +category whose largest citation destination is now computer architecture (F-09), consistent with GPU-centric systems
164 +work.
165 +
166 +## 4. Distributed, cloud and edge computing, and networks
167 +
168 +### 4.1 Distributed computing
169 +
170 +After the re-publication records and the control-theory papers are set aside, the post-period distributed-computing
171 +landmarks are vLLM (SOSP 2023; the abstract reports 2–4× throughput at equal latency from near-zero KV-cache waste),
172 +LOOM (a live race-bypassing system, recorded as a 2026 Columbia repository item) and OrbitalBrain (in-space ML
173 +training on nanosatellites, OASIcs 2026). The baseline list, beyond the classics, contains a blockchain survey
174 +duplicated under two OpenAlex identifiers, *Majority is not enough* (selfish mining) and a Korean consensus
175 +pre-processing paper — blockchain was the distributed-computing growth topic of 2018–2020, and the post-period flows
176 +still send 4.3 % of distributed-computing references to the blockchain category. The category's trend change at
177 +2022-12 is among the largest (0.020) and its BIC breaks are 2022-07 and 2024-07. Nothing in the landmark set
178 +supports a statement about consensus, transactions or fault tolerance in 2023–2026; the distributed-systems canon
179 +of the bibliography (Paxos, PBFT, CAP, Spanner, Borg, Kubernetes, serverless) is cited but not renewed in the
180 +most-cited slice.
181 +
182 +### 4.2 Cloud computing
183 +
184 +The post-period cloud landmarks split into three kinds (F-27, F-28). (i) LLMs for operations: *RCACopilot* (EuroSys
185 +2024) matches incidents to handlers, aggregates diagnostics and predicts the root-cause category; the abstract reports
186 +accuracy up to 0.766 on a year of Microsoft incidents, a proprietary evaluation (OP-F11). (ii) Reviews: deep
187 +reinforcement learning for cloud scheduling (*Artificial Intelligence Review* 2024) and an MDPI systematic review of
188 +30 studies on federated learning for cloud/edge security whose aggregate percentages (25 % privacy-risk reduction,
189 +40 % better threat detection) are not interpretable without the primary studies (F-41). (iii) The 2026 slice, which
190 +consists almost entirely of LLM-inference scheduling at smaller IEEE conferences: token-level GPU pooling,
191 +contextual-bandit elastic scheduling for serverless multi-tenant inference, and carbon-aware prompt scheduling (CAPS,
192 +trace-driven simulation, 26.8 % lower carbon per thousand tokens than round-robin as reported). These are provisional
193 +landmarks (F-11) and single-testbed or simulation studies, but they show the direction of citation in 2026. The
194 +baseline cloud landmarks were VM and task scheduling with metaheuristics, energy efficiency in data centres and
195 +IoT–cloud integration; the continuity is scheduling, the discontinuity is the workload. Cloud computing's ITS level
196 +change is zero (p = 0.936) while its trend change is 0.019 and its BIC breaks are 2022-11 and 2025-01 (F-29); it is
197 +the only systems category with a selected break in the ChatGPT month, which the placebo result (0.231) does not allow
198 +to be read as specific.
199 +
200 +### 4.3 Edge computing
201 +
202 +Edge computing is the category whose landmark composition changed most visibly and whose time series changed least
203 +(F-30). Its baseline landmarks are blockchain–IoT integration papers (2018–2019), the *Edge Intelligence* survey
204 +(*Proceedings of the IEEE* 2019) and COVID-era IoT application reviews; its post-period landmarks are surveys and
205 +visions on language models at the edge: *Mobile Edge Intelligence for LLMs* (COMST 2025), *Toward Edge General
206 +Intelligence with Agentic AI* (COMST 2026), *Edge–Cloud Collaborative Computing* (COMST 2026) and *AI Flow*
207 +(2026), which proposes a device–edge–cloud framework for large models. The abstracts describe architectures,
208 +taxonomies and challenges; none reports a measured deployment. Edge computing's trend change at 2022-12 is the
209 +smallest of the eleven (0.004, p = 0.006) after a baseline CAGR of 0.133 that had already doubled the category's
210 +share; its only BIC break is 2025-01. The LLM-at-the-edge literature is therefore, on this evidence, a change in
211 +what the field writes surveys about rather than a measurable change in its output. Where inference should sit on the
212 +device–edge–cloud continuum is an open empirical question (OP-F09).
213 +
214 +### 4.4 Computer networks
215 +
216 +Networks is the largest systems category and the one whose share of output fell most (0.118 to 0.067). Its most cited
217 +post-2022 works are the 6G roadmap (COMST 2023) and the ISAC overview (JSAC 2022), both pre-dating or coinciding with
218 +the window's start, the *Wireless Communications* textbook, the mobile-edge-LLM survey, and in 2026 tutorials on
219 +large AI models and agentic AI for communications (JSAC 2026), a massive-IoT review and a pinching-antenna tutorial
220 +(F-31). The positive level change at 2022-12 (+0.043, p = 0.021) has placebo p = 0.538 and the single BIC break is
221 +2022-02; the series was already rising before ChatGPT. The deep-learning-for-wireless surveys of 2018–2019 show that
222 +machine learning entered networking research well before the window; what the 2026 tutorials add is the vocabulary of
223 +large models and agents, whose empirical content cannot be assessed from abstracts.
224 +
225 +## 5. Database systems and information retrieval
226 +
227 +### 5.1 Databases: data quality and vector search
228 +
229 +The database landmark list is the most contaminated by misclassification (§1.2). What remains is instructive (F-23,
230 +F-40): the only engine-level item is vector search — the GPU similarity-search paper (IEEE TBD 2019) and *The Faiss
231 +Library* (IEEE TBD 2025/26), whose abstract frames Faiss as the core of vector databases and describes its indexing,
232 +compression and benchmarking; the other post-period landmarks are the *Data-centric AI* survey (CSUR 2025) and an
233 +empirical study of six data-quality dimensions across nineteen ML algorithms (*Information Systems* 2025). The
234 +baseline list contains BLOCKBENCH (TKDE 2018), *Datasheets for datasets* (CACM 2021) and a persistent B+-tree
235 +dissertation. The bibliography's vector-DBMS surveys and the database community's position papers on LLMs
236 +(*Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment* 2023; *SIGMOD Record* 2024) are not in the landmark set. The honest summary is
237 +that the most cited database work of the period, as the corpus records it, is about data for machine learning and
238 +about embedding search, not about transaction processing or query optimisation; whether vector search belongs in
239 +dedicated systems or in extended relational engines is contested and untested at workload level (OP-F08). The
240 +category's trend change (0.014) and BIC break (2023-11) are unremarkable among the eleven.
241 +
242 +### 5.2 Information retrieval: from graph recommendation to retrieval augmentation
243 +
244 +IR shows the clearest shift in what is cited (F-24). The 2018–2022 landmarks are graph-neural-network recommendation
245 +— NGCF, KGAT, GraphRec, LightGCN (SIGIR 2020, which reports that feature transformation and non-linear activation
246 +contribute little to collaborative filtering), self-supervised graph learning — and the GNN-recommendation surveys of
247 +CSUR and ACM TORS. The 2023–2026 landmarks are RAG surveys (KDD 2024; CSUR 2026, which organises RAG into
248 +pre-retrieval, retrieval, post-retrieval and generation; *Data Science and Engineering* 2026 on RAG for generated
249 +content), surveys of LLMs for recommendation (TKDE 2024; *World Wide Web* 2024), and *C-Pack* (SIGIR 2024), which
250 +releases training data, a Chinese embedding benchmark and the BGE embedding models. The methodological lineage is
251 +continuous with 2020 (DPR, RAG, ColBERT); the landmark set contains no new retrieval architecture of 2023–2026, which
252 +may reflect the citation lag of recent model papers as much as the field's output (F-25). In the corpus, IR has the
253 +largest trend change at 2022-12 (0.023), a negative level change (−0.094, p = 0.019), BIC breaks at 2022-07 and
254 +2024-07 (F-26), and is the only systems category whose post-period references reach the `llm` category in measurable
255 +proportion (3.0 %). RAG evaluation — separating retrieval quality from parametric memory and from generation — has no
256 +agreed protocol (OP-F07).
257 +
258 +## 6. Quantum computing
259 +
260 +Quantum computing is the category least connected to the rest (self-share 84.9 %), the fastest-growing after 2022
261 +(CAGR 0.287) and the one whose level fell most clearly at 2022-12 (−0.087, p = 0.039) (F-22). Its landmarks are a
262 +coherent experimental sequence that the window happens to contain (F-18): the NISQ framing (2018) and supremacy
263 +experiment (2019) as baseline; then surface-code scaling from distance 3 to 5 on superconducting qubits (*Nature*
264 +2023), the 280-physical-qubit neutral-atom logical processor (*Nature* 2024), the below-threshold distance-7
265 +memories with logical error suppression factor Λ = 2.14 per distance step (*Nature* 2024), two-module trapped-ion
266 +distributed computation by gate teleportation over an optical link (*Nature* 2025) and the 35-chip photonic *Aurora*
267 +scale model (*Nature* 2025), which its authors describe as sub-performant (F-21). The 127-qubit "utility before fault
268 +tolerance" experiment (*Nature* 2023) is contested: its abstract restricts the claim to circuit volumes beyond
269 +brute-force classical simulation, and the classical-simulation responses that followed are not in the landmark set
270 +and are not cited here because they are not in the verified bibliography (F-19, OP-F04). On the algorithmic side,
271 +the barren-plateau review (*Nature Reviews Physics* 2025; abstract unavailable) and quantum-selected configuration
272 +interaction (*Physical Review Research* 2026), which diagonalises classically in a subspace sampled from a noisy
273 +device, mark the two responses to the trainability problem of variational algorithms (F-20, OP-F05). Qiskit's design
274 +paper is a preprint; the IBM retrospective (*Journal of Supercomputing* 2025) is a narrative of one vendor's roadmap.
275 +None of this literature has any connection with language models, and the corpus statistics for the category should
276 +be read as the signature of a field growing on its own momentum.
277 +
278 +## 7. Sustainable computing
279 +
280 +Sustainable computing is small (1,639 primary works in 2025), grew at 0.233 per year after 2022, has a positive level
281 +change at 2022-12 (+0.049, p = 0.048; placebo p = 0.754) and cites computer networks more than itself (F-34). Its
282 +landmarks form a measurement literature on the footprint of machine learning (F-32): carbon of large-model training
283 +(Patterson et al. 2021, preprint; BLOOM's 24.7–50.5 t CO2e, preprint), the carbon intensity of cloud instances
284 +(FAccT 2022), generative-AI inference carbon today and in 2035 (HotCarbon 2023 workshop), the water footprint of AI
285 +(preprint 2023, CACM 2025), green-AI and green-federated-learning reviews (2024–2025), rebound effects and Jevons'
286 +paradox (FAccT 2025), data-centre carbon and water disclosure gaps (*Patterns* 2025/26), grid impacts of AI data
287 +centres (*Nexus* 2026) and *TokenPowerBench* (AAAI 2026), a benchmark attributing inference energy to prefill and
288 +decode. Several of the most cited items are preprints or workshop papers, and the quantitative statements they
289 +carry (including industry figures quoted in abstracts, such as inference exceeding 90 % of LLM power) are not
290 +independently verifiable from the corpus (F-33). The field's own diagnosis — that operators do not disclose AI-specific
291 +energy and water, so fleet-scale footprints are modelled rather than measured — is the central open problem (OP-F10).
292 +
293 +## 8. Cross-cutting synthesis
294 +
295 +Three statements are established by the corpus. First, the systems categories accelerated after 2022 as a group,
296 +and the acceleration is not specific to the ChatGPT date (F-01, F-02, F-06). Second, the classical systems categories
297 +had been declining in absolute and relative terms since 2018 and recovered in absolute terms only; their share of
298 +computer science continued to fall (F-04, F-05). Third, citation flows among systems categories were stable; the
299 +only measurable new destination is IR's references to the `llm` category (F-07–F-09).
300 +
301 +Two statements are established by the metadata of the most cited works. The most cited post-2022 architecture,
302 +operating-systems, distributed and cloud papers are LLM training and serving systems — compilation, phase splitting,
303 +KV-cache management, GPU sharing, consumer-GPU inference, inference scheduling — and the most cited IR, edge and
304 +networking papers are surveys and tutorials about language models (F-24, F-30, F-31, F-37, F-38). Quantum computing
305 +and sustainable computing follow their own trajectories, the former experimental, the latter a measurement
306 +literature on AI's footprint (F-22, F-32).
307 +
308 +What cannot be established from this evidence: that LLM-infrastructure research explains the volume recovery (its share
309 +of each category's output is not measured; OP-F13); that any of the systems designs discussed is superior to its
310 +competitors (each is evaluated by its authors; OP-F01, OP-F02); that photonic or neuromorphic efficiency figures hold at
311 +system level (OP-F03); that pre-fault-tolerant quantum processors deliver utility (OP-F04). Finally, the landmark
312 +lists themselves carry a classification-noise rate of roughly one record in five (OP-F12), which bounds the precision
313 +of every category-level statement above and should be reported alongside the results of Part IX.

113 +## 3. Applied cryptography
114 +
115 +**Standards as landmarks.** The applied-cryptography landmark set is the clearest case of a category whose most cited documents
116 +are standards and reports rather than papers: RFC 8446 (TLS 1.3, 2018; abstract: "prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message
117 +forgery"), the NIST status reports on the first (2019) and third (2022) rounds of the post-quantum standardisation process, and
118 +the two 2024 Federal Information Processing Standards FIPS 203 (ML-KEM; the abstract ties its security to Module-LWE and states
119 +that it "is believed to be secure, even against adversaries who possess a quantum computer") and FIPS 204 (ML-DSA, with the same
120 +belief statement for signatures). FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA, hash-based) is not in the landmark set but is in the verified references
121 +(`nist2024fips205`). The 2024 draft transition report (`nist2024transition`) and the fourth-round status report (`nist2025hqc`)
122 +complete the sequence; the latter was not read in full text here and is cited for its existence and date.
123 +
124 +**The timeline the corpus records.** The post-quantum programme is the one development of the area with an unambiguous timeline
125 +inside the observation window: the third-round report (July 2022) announced the selections, two attacks on candidates
126 +appeared in the same year — the key-recovery attack on SIDH of Castryck and Decru (EUROCRYPT 2023; no abstract in the record;
127 +title only) and Beullens's attack on Rainbow ("takes a weekend on a laptop", CRYPTO 2022) — and the final standards were
128 +published in August 2024. The corpus statistics show that this timeline did not translate into an aggregate volume break:
129 +applied cryptography's Bai–Perron break (2022-07) coincides with the NIST announcement month but the category's post-2023
130 +growth (20.4 %) is driven by the much larger encryption-for-IoT and chaos-based image-encryption sub-literatures (see below),
131 +and the flow of references from applied cryptography to quantum computing rose only from 2.8 % (2019) to 4.1 % (2025). The
132 +theoretical base of the lattice standards (Regev's LWE, `regev2009lwe`; Shor's algorithm as the threat model, `shor1997factoring`)
133 +lies outside the corpus window; the 2024–2025 below-threshold error-correction result (`googlequantum2025belowthreshold`) is the
134 +window's main quantum-side event and is classified in quantum computing, not here.
135 +
136 +**What else the landmark set contains.** Three 2025–2026 landmarks are chaos-based or neuron-model image/video encryption
137 +schemes (IEEE TDSC, IEEE TCE, Nonlinear Dynamics) and one is a cryptanalysis of such a scheme (ACM TOMM 2026; the abstract
138 +reports that "many such systems lack standardization and deviate from secure design principles"). This sub-literature is
139 +large in the corpus (OpenAlex topic T11017 is mapped to the category at weight 0.7) and its presence among the most cited
140 +2026 works is a fact about the citing community, not an endorsement; the ontology note records the same reservation. Other
141 +records are artefacts: a 2022 reprint of Diffie–Hellman's 1976 *New Directions* (the "abstract" is the ACM landing page), a
142 +2026 record of TLS 1.3 with the text of an older protocol version, a 2026 ResearchHub copy of the 2010 Scantegrity II paper,
143 +a 2026 Warwick repository record of the 2010 FLINT library, a Reed–Solomon FPGA dissertation, and a 2020 LNCS reprint of *Deep
144 +Leakage from Gradients* (which belongs with federated-learning privacy and is discussed in Section 5). One 2026 Information
145 +Fusion survey on the security and privacy of federated learning (203 papers, per its abstract) is classified here because of its
146 +cryptographic keywords.
147 +
148 +**Assessment.** Established: lattice-based KEM and signature standards exist and are deployed in TLS-style key exchange (the
149 +corpus records the standards; deployment is not in evidence here). Established and important as a methodological lesson:
150 +two of the finalists fell to classical attacks after years of scrutiny, so "post-quantum" denotes a threat model, not a
151 +security proof. Contested within the corpus: the security of the large chaos-based encryption literature, which its own
152 +cryptanalyses dispute. Not addressed by the corpus's landmark metric: homomorphic encryption, zero-knowledge proofs and MPC as
153 +primitives — the verified references (`gentry2009fhe`, `cheon2017ckks`, `chillotti2020tfhe`, `groth2016snark`, `thaler2022proofs`,
154 +`evans2018mpc`) carry this lineage; their post-2022 progeny do not surface in the top-25 because their citing communities are
155 +small and their venues (IACR ePrint, TCHES) are partially mapped.
156 +
157 +## 4. Blockchain systems
158 +
159 +**Shape of the literature.** Blockchain is the category whose landmark set is least about computer science: of 25 works, two
160 +are in the *Review of Financial Studies* (illegal activity financed through bitcoin, estimated at about one quarter of users in
161 +the abstract; blockchain disruption and smart contracts, a theory of decentralised consensus and competition), one in the
162 +*Journal of Institutional Economics* (blockchains as an "institutional technology"), one in *International Journal of
163 +Production Research* (sustainable supply chains), one in *Trends in Food Science & Technology* (agri-food supply chains), one in
164 +*ACM TMIS* (business process management, with seven research directions), one in *Intelligent Systems in Accounting, Finance
165 +and Management* (ontology-driven provenance), plus MIT Press and Springer chapters. The computer-science core is thin but
166 +clear: Hyperledger Fabric (EuroSys 2018; "a modular and extensible open-source system for permissioned blockchains"), the IEEE
167 +Access survey of consensus mechanisms and mining strategy management (2019), the NIST blockchain overview (2018), Guo and Yu's
168 +survey of blockchain security (2022), and — the only 2026 technical landmark — a Datalog-based detector of cross-function
169 +reentrancy over EVM execution traces (FMBC 2026, extending TxSpector). Post-window landmarks are reviews (blockchain for the
170 +metaverse, 2023, 763 citations in 36 months; blockchain in healthcare; two 2024 papers in a journal with 449 citations each that
171 +the PI should examine) and the NFT overview preprint (2021).
172 +
173 +**Artefacts.** The Bitcoin whitepaper appears three times (SSRN records dated 2019, 2022 and 2024 with 7,534, 10,307 and 200
174 +citations in 36 months) plus once as a Springer "recommends" chapter; the 2022 record is the single most cited work of the
175 +whole area under c36. These are the same 2008 document (`nakamoto2008bitcoin` in the verified references), and their citation
176 +counts belong to it. A 2026 SSRN "Global Blockchain Benchmarking Study" record (NCS36 1,481) has no abstract and is likely a
177 +reissue of the 2017 Cambridge study.
178 +
179 +**Corpus statistics.** Blockchain's break is in 2020-04 (Bai–Perron) with PELT changes in 2019-02 and 2022-12; the ITS at
180 +2022-12 shows no level or slope change, and the pre-period slope (+0.015 per month) was the steepest of the five categories
181 +after federated learning. The self-citation share of blockchain works fell from 61.4 % (2019) to 57.2 % (2025) while the share of
182 +references to cybersecurity rose (8.5 % → 9.2 %); co-classification with the LLM category is the lowest of the area (3.1 % in
183 +2025). DeFi, MEV and layer-2 research — present in the verified references through `werner2022defi` — does not reach the top-25 of
184 +a category whose citing community is dominated by application and management journals.
185 +
186 +**Assessment.** Established: the category grew fastest before 2021 and has grown at the corpus's average rate since; its highly
187 +cited post-2022 works are reviews. Contested: whether the smart-contract security literature (reentrancy detection and the like)
188 +constitutes progress beyond the tools of 2018–2020 — the single 2026 landmark reports an extension of an existing framework, and
189 +no landmark reports measured vulnerability rates. Speculative: every claim about blockchain and the metaverse or AI integration
190 +in the 2023–2026 reviews.
191 +
192 +## 5. Privacy-preserving computation
193 +
194 +**Composition.** The category's landmarks split into four groups. (i) Federated learning as privacy technology: Yang et al.'s
195 +*Federated Machine Learning* (ACM TIST 2019; horizontal, vertical and transfer federated learning; 1,382 citations in 36 months,
196 +the most cited technical paper of the area), SplitFed (AAAI 2022; split learning plus federated learning), a 2026 systematic
197 +review of differentially private federated learning (ACM CSUR), hierarchical federated learning with two-stage DP for cloud
198 +anomaly detection (2026) and several federated healthcare applications. (ii) The 2020 contact-tracing burst: a survey of
199 +COVID-19 contact-tracing apps (IEEE Access), the TraceTogether privacy analysis (arXiv preprint), a cross-country acceptability
200 +survey (JMIR), a *Nature Medicine* comment on responsible use of digital data, an OECD policy note and a German-language chapter
201 +on the Corona-Warn-App — six of 25 landmarks from a single year's topic (OpenAlex T12943 is mapped at weight 0.5). (iii)
202 +Privacy of models and data: the survey of machine unlearning (ACM TIST 2025; "the right to be forgotten"), differential privacy
203 +for medical deep learning (npj Digital Medicine 2026; the abstract reports clinically acceptable performance at ε ≈ 10 and
204 +substantial loss at ε ≈ 1), private information retrieval with side information (dissertation), privacy-aware mobile service
205 +recommendation (2018). (iv) Misclassifications: three 2025–2026 papers on artificial intelligence in higher education and one on
206 +AI in auditing (*Education Sciences*, *Frontiers in Psychology*, *Frontiers in Education*, *International Journal of Accounting
207 +Information Systems*), each ranked among the top of the category by NCS36. Their abstracts mention privacy as one concern among
208 +many; the keyword rule of the category fired on "privacy" with an education or auditing qualifier that the exclusion list does
209 +not veto. Two further records (open-circuit fault diagnosis of power converters; mental-health prediction with a federated
210 +CNN–BiLSTM) are applications whose privacy content is the federated setting.
211 +
212 +**Lineage outside the window.** Differential privacy (`dwork2006dp`, `dwork2014dp`), DP-SGD (`abadi2016dpsgd`), membership
213 +inference (`shokri2017membership`), training-data extraction from language models (`carlini2021extracting`, preprint) and
214 +web-scale poisoning (`carlini2024poisoning`) are in the verified references and define the attack and defence vocabulary that
215 +the post-2022 landmarks apply. The 2026 DP-FL review and the medical DP review are the only landmarks that synthesise this
216 +vocabulary; the rest are applications.
217 +
218 +**Corpus statistics.** Privacy-preserving computation grew throughout (15.2 % then 39.8 %) with a Bai–Perron break at 2022-07
219 +and PELT changes at 2020-12 (the contact-tracing year) and 2023-12. Its self-citation share fell from 32.5 % (2019) to 24.4 %
220 +(2025) — the lowest of the area — while references to federated learning (6.1 % in 2025) and LLM works (2.2 % in 2026) rose; its
221 +works are co-classified with LLM at 9.3 % (2025), the highest rate of the area, and with AI safety at a similar rate. The category
222 +is therefore the one whose boundary with machine learning moved most during the window.
223 +
224 +**Assessment.** Established: DP and federated learning are the two privacy technologies that the applied literature adopts, and
225 +the accuracy cost of strict DP budgets is documented by reviews. Contested: the privacy guarantees of federated learning without
226 +DP or secure aggregation (gradient inversion, Section 5 of the federated-learning synthesis). Speculative: the "privacy by
227 +design" claims of federated healthcare applications that report no attack evaluation. Data-quality finding: the category's
228 +NCS36 ranking is contaminated by non-computing papers and by a single-topic burst; the PI review should reclassify the four
229 +education/auditing papers and consider the contact-tracing topic weight.
230 +
231 +## 6. Federated learning
232 +
233 +**From averaging to heterogeneity.** The landmark set reads as the field's own history. Baseline: healthcare applications
234 +(federated learning in medicine, Scientific Reports 2020, multi-institutional collaboration without sharing patient data;
235 +FedHealth, a federated transfer-learning framework for wearables; healthcare informatics review), the fairness objective q-FFL
236 +(ICLR 2020; the corpus record has no DOI and the verified reference is the arXiv preprint), the IoT survey, the KBS survey (no
237 +abstract), the non-IID survey (Neurocomputing 2021), *Towards Personalized Federated Learning* (IEEE TNNLS 2022; "the leading
238 +paradigm for the training of machine learning models on data silos"), and a Hong Kong dissertation on attack-adaptive
239 +aggregation. Post-window: FedALA (AAAI 2023; adaptive local aggregation to initialise personalised models), the ACM CSUR survey
240 +of heterogeneous federated learning (data, model, network and hardware heterogeneity), FedTGP (AAAI 2024; trainable global
241 +prototypes for model-heterogeneous clients), FedAS (CVPR 2024; intra- and inter-client inconsistency in personalised FL), DFCA
242 +(IEEE IoTJ 2026; decentralised clustered FL without a server), committee-based Byzantine-resilient FL (JNCA 2025) and
243 +trimmed-mean aggregation (ESWA 2025), asynchronous FL for SAR imagery (IEEE TMC 2026), a scoping review of governance of FL in
244 +healthcare (npj Digital Medicine 2025), and three 2026 surveys. FedAvg (`mcmahan2017fl`), the 2021 *Advances and Open Problems*
245 +survey (`kairouz2021fl`), FedProx (`li2018fedprox`, preprint), secure aggregation (`bonawitz2017secagg`), the backdoor attack
246 +(`bagdasaryan2018backdoor`, preprint) and gradient leakage (`zhu2020dlg`) are the verified pre-window references that the
247 +post-window landmarks build on.
248 +
249 +**Corpus statistics.** Federated learning is the category with the highest baseline growth (54.3 % CAGR, 1,040 works in 2018 to
250 +18,093 in 2025, a 3.07-fold increase between 2022 and 2025) and the only one whose ITS at 2022-12 shows a negative level and
251 +slope change; neither survives the placebo test (p = 0.246 and 0.385), and Bai–Perron dates the category's single break at
252 +2020-02. The field's citation structure changed more than any other: its self-citation share rose from 10.8 % (2019) to 16.0 %
253 +(2025) as it became citable, references to privacy-preserving computation rose to 15.5 %, and references to ML theory fell from
254 +17.6 % to 13.0 %. Co-classification with LLM rose from 1.5 % (2022) to 7.6 % (2025): federated fine-tuning of foundation models
255 +is visible in the labels but not yet among the landmarks.
256 +
257 +**Assessment.** Established: statistical heterogeneity (non-IID clients) is the organising problem of the post-2022 literature,
258 +and personalisation (local aggregation, prototypes, clustering) its dominant answer; the abstracts of FedALA, FedTGP, FedAS and
259 +DFCA all define their contribution against this problem. Established but under-evaluated in the landmarks: robustness to
260 +malicious clients, where the highly cited 2025 contributions are aggregation rules evaluated on standard benchmarks. Contested:
261 +whether personalised FL methods generalise beyond the benchmark suites in which they are compared (each abstract reports
262 +superiority over "state-of-the-art" baselines on its own suite). Speculative: deployment claims in healthcare, where the 2025
263 +governance review finds that "limited insights exist on the optimal governance" of the technology.
264 +
265 +## 7. Cross-cutting synthesis and data-quality findings
266 +
267 +1. *No security category shows a post-2022 level break.* The volume acceleration of cybersecurity, applied cryptography and
268 + privacy-preserving computation is a slope change dated by break detectors to mid-2022 and late 2024; blockchain and
269 + federated learning broke in early 2020 and decelerated after. This is association, not causation.
270 +2. *The LLM turn in security is compositional.* The share of cybersecurity works co-classified with LLM rose roughly fourfold
271 + between 2022 and 2025; citation flows to LLM works remain small (≤ 1.1 %). The security of LLM systems is a continuation of
272 + the security-of-ML literature with a new attack surface; its evaluation standards are not yet settled (Section 2).
273 +3. *Standards, not papers, are the landmarks of applied cryptography*, and the post-quantum programme is the area's one
274 + dated transition; the fall of SIDH and Rainbow is the area's methodological lesson.
275 +4. *Convergence between privacy-preserving computation and federated learning is measurable in flows* (15.5 % of FL references
276 + to privacy, 6.1 % the other way), while blockchain's links to the rest of computer science are weak and declining in share.
277 +5. *Landmark-set artefacts*: duplicated whitepaper records (Bitcoin ×3, TLS 1.3 ×2), reprints dated 2026 (Scantegrity, FLINT,
278 + Diffie–Hellman 2022), venue-level records (IEEE S&P 2023), misclassifications (Fedformer; four education/auditing papers;
279 + Enigma), a single-topic burst (contact tracing 2020), and 2026 records ranked on months of citations. 33 of 125 records have
280 + no abstract. The PI review (H-3) should remove or merge these before any landmark-level statistic is reported.
281 +6. Unresolved problems are listed in `open_problems.csv` (P-H-01 to P-H-12) and feed Part X.
