Abstract: Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) is constrained by the joint limits of satellite SWaP and feeder-link capacity, which directly impact O-RAN closed-loop control and model lifecycle management. This paper studies the feasibility of distributing the O-RAN control hierarchy across Ground, LEO, and GEO segments through a Split-RIC architecture. We compare three deployment scenarios: (i) ground-centric control with telemetry streaming, (ii) ground–LEO Split-RIC with on-board inference and store-and-forward learning, and (iii) GEO–LEO multi-layer control enabled by inter-satellite links. For each scenario, we derive closed-form expressions for lifecycle energy and lifecycle latency that account for training-data transfer, model dissemination, and near-real-time inference. Numerical sensitivity analysis over feeder-link conditions, model complexity, and orbital intermittency yields operator-relevant feasibility regions that delineate when on-board inference and non-terrestrial learning loops are physically preferable to terrestrial offloading.
Depression subtype classification from social media posts: few-shot prompting vs. fine-tuning of large language models
BackgroundSocial media provides timely proxy signals of mental health, but reliable tweet-level classification of depression subtypes remains challenging due to short, noisy text, overlapping symptomatology,
