To address the governance challenges of “delayed response, fragmented strategies, and cognitive disconnection” in traditional emergency management, this paper proposes an intelligent framework—Scenario–Learning–Decision (SLD)—powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). The framework integrates Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and prospect theory-based parameter modeling to build an emergency simulation platform featuring scenario perception, human–AI learning, and collective decision-making. Using the 2022 wildfire in City C as a case study, the research verifies the effectiveness of the SLD model in complex emergency contexts and provides theoretical support and practical pathways for developing human-centered intelligent emergency decision-making systems.

The problem of finding key players in a graph, also known as network dismantling, or network disintegration, aims to find an optimal removal sequence of nodes (edges, substructures) through a certain algorithm, ultimately causing functional indicators such as the largest connected component (GCC) or network pair connectivity in the graph to rapidly decline. As a typical NP-hard problem on graphs, recent methods based on reinforcement learning and graph representation learning have effectively solved such problems. However, existing reinforcement-learning-based key-player-identification algorithms often need to remove too many nodes in order to achieve the optimal effect when removing the remaining network until no connected edges remain. The use of a minimum number of nodes while maintaining or surpassing the performance of existing methods is a worthwhile research problem. To this end, a novel algorithm called MiniKey was proposed to tackle such challenges, which employs a specific deep Q-network architecture for reinforcement learning, a novel reward-shaping mechanism based on network functional indicators, and the graph-embedding technique GraphSage to transform network nodes into latent representations. Additionally, a technique dubbed ‘virtual node technology’ is integrated to grasp the overarching feature representation of the whole network. This innovative algorithm can be effectively trained on small-scale simulated graphs while also being scalable to large-scale real-world networks. Importantly, experiments from both six simulated datasets and six real-world datasets demonstrates that MiniKey can achieve optimal performance, striking a perfect balance between the effectiveness of key node identification and the minimization of the number of nodes that is utilized, which holds potential for real-world applications such as curbing misinformation spread in social networks, optimizing traffic in transportation systems, and identifying key targets in biological networks for targeted interventions.

Network dismantling is one of the most challenging problems in complex systems. This problem encompasses a broad array of practical applications. Previous works mainly focus on the metrics such as the number of nodes in the Giant Connected Component (GCC), average pairwise connectivity, etc. This paper introduces a novel metric, the accumulated 2-core size, for assessing network dismantling. Due to the NP-hard computational complexity of this problem, we propose SmartCore, an end-to-end model for minimizing the accumulated 2-core size by leveraging reinforcement learning and graph neural networks. Extensive experiments across synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate SmartCore’s superiority over existing methods in terms of both accuracy and speed, suggesting that SmartCore should be a better choice for the network dismantling problem in practice.
