Adversarial attacks threaten the reliability of machine learning models in critical applications like autonomous vehicles and defense systems. As object detectors become more robust with models like YOLOv8, developing effective adversarial methodolog...
Accurately forecasting CO2 emissions in the transportation sector is essential for developing effective mitigation strategies. This study uses an annually spanning dataset from 1993 to 2022 to evaluate the predictive performance of three methods: NAR...
Climate change is one of the most pressing global threats, endangering the sustainability of the planet and quality of life, whilst urban mobility significantly contributes to exacerbating its effects. Recently, policies aimed at mitigating these eff...
Threads is a new social network that was launched by Meta in July 2023 and conceived as a direct alternative to X. It is a unique case study in the social network landscape, as it is content-based like X, but has an Instagram-based growth model, whic...
The explicit kernel transformation of input data vectors to their distributed high-dimensional representations has recently been receiving increasing attention in the field of hyperdimensional computing (HDC). The main argument is that such represent...
We present an automated journal recommendation pipeline designed to evaluate the performance of five Sentence Transformer models—all-mpnet-base-v2 (Mpnet), all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (Minilm-l6), all-MiniLM-L12-v2 (Minilm-l12), multi-qa-distilbert-cos-v1...
This paper introduces PK-Judge, a novel neural network watermarking framework designed to enhance the intellectual property (IP) protection by incorporating an asymmetric cryptograp hic approach in the verification process. Inspired by the paradigm s...
Hierarchical classification, which organizes items into structured categories and subcategories, has emerged as a powerful solution for handling large and complex datasets. However, traditional flat classification approaches often overlook the hierar...
A key challenge in utilizing the expected goals on target (xGOT) metric is the limited public access to detailed football event and positional data, alongside other advanced metrics. This study aims to develop an xGOT model to evaluate goalkeeper (GK...
Inter-state cyberattacks are increasingly becoming a major hidden threat to national security and global order. However, current prediction models are often constrained by single-source data due to insufficient consideration of complex influencing fa...
As generative AI (GenAI) technologies proliferate, ensuring trust and transparency in digital ecosystems becomes increasingly critical, particularly within democratic frameworks. This article examines decentralized Web3 mechanisms—blockchain, d...
Generative AI (GenAI) models are designed to produce realistic and natural data, such as images, audio, or written text. Due to their high computational and memory demands, these models traditionally run on powerful remote compute servers. However, t...
This paper explores advancements in real-time talking-head generation, focusing on overcoming challenges in Audio Feature Extraction (AFE), which often introduces latency and limits responsiveness in real-time applications. To address these issues, w...
The detection of synthetic speech has become a pressing challenge due to the potential societal risks posed by synthetic speech technologies. Existing methods primarily focus on either the time or frequency domain of speech, limiting their ability to...
We present an automatic approach for generating learning problems for teaching introductory programming in different programming languages. The current implementation allows input and output in the three most popular programming languages for teachin...
This paper critically examines the expanding body of literature on ChatGPT, a transformative AI tool with widespread global adoption. By categorising research into six key themes—sustainability, health, education, work, social media, and energy...
What makes a wine exceptional enough to score a perfect 10 from experts? This study explores a data-driven approach to identify the ideal physicochemical composition for wines that could achieve this highest possible rating. Using a dataset of 11 mea...
Cognitive computing encompasses computing tools and methods that simulate and mimic the process of human thinking, without human supervision. Deep neural network architectures, natural language processing, big data tools, and self-learning tools base...
An image–text retrieval method that integrates intramodal fine-grained local semantic information and intermodal global semantic information is proposed to address the weak fine-grained discrimination capabilities for the semantic features loca...
Hand impairment affects millions of people. There are multiple factors that cause deficits, varying from physical injuries to neurological disorders. Upper-limb patients face significant difficulties in daily life. Rehabilitation aims at supporting t...
The complex and specialized terminology of financial language in Portuguese-speaking markets create significant challenges for natural language processing (NLP) applications, which must capture nuanced linguistic and contextual information to support...
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in text generation, which also raise numerous concerns about their potential misuse, especially in educational exercises and academic writing. Accurately identifying and tracing t...
There is a rapid growth in mental disorders, thus leading to a pressing demand for more sophisticated diagnosis techniques. Clinical assessments and symptomatic analyses for traditional diagnostics suffer from subjectivity, delayed diagnosis, and spe...
