Abstract The emergence of Medical Large Language Models has significantly transformed healthcare. Medical Large Language Models (Med-LLMs) serve as transformative tools that enhance clinical practice through applications in decision support, documentation, and diagnostics. This evaluation examines the performance of leading Med-LLMs, including GPT-4Med, Med-PaLM, MEDITRON, PubMedGPT, and MedAlpaca, across diverse medical datasets. It provides graphical comparisons of their effectiveness in distinct healthcare domains. The study introduces a domain-specific categorization system that aligns these models with optimal applications in clinical decision-making, documentation, drug discovery, research, patient interaction, and public health. The paper addresses deployment challenges of Medical-LLMs, More >

Abstract Recent advances in deep learning have significantly improved flood detection and segmentation from aerial and satellite imagery. However, conventional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) often struggle in complex flood scenarios involving reflections, occlusions, or indistinct boundaries due to limited contextual modeling. To address these challenges, we propose a hybrid flood segmentation framework that integrates a Vision Transformer (ViT) encoder with a U-Net decoder, enhanced by a novel Flood-Aware Refinement Block (FARB). The FARB module improves boundary delineation and suppresses noise by combining residual smoothing with spatial-channel attention mechanisms. We evaluate our model on a UAV-acquired flood More >

Abstract The field of artificial intelligence has advanced significantly in recent years, but achieving a human-like or Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) remains a theoretical challenge. One hypothesis suggests that a key issue is the formalisation of extracting meaning from information. Meaning emerges through a three-stage interpretative process, where the spectrum of possible interpretations is collapsed into a singular outcome by a particular context. However, this approach currently lacks practical grounding. In this research, we developed a model based on contexts, which applies interpretation principles to the visual information to address this gap. The field of computer… More >

Abstract In this study, an automated multimodal system for detecting, classifying, and dating fruit was developed using a two-stage YOLOv11 pipeline. In the first stage, the YOLOv11 detection model locates individual date fruits in real time by drawing bounding boxes around them. These bounding boxes are subsequently passed to a YOLOv11 classification model, which analyzes cropped images and assigns class labels. An additional counting module automatically tallies the detected fruits, offering a near-instantaneous estimation of quantity. The experimental results suggest high precision and recall for detection, high classification accuracy (across 15 classes), and near-perfect counting in More >

Abstract Traffic at urban intersections frequently encounters unexpected obstructions, resulting in congestion due to uncooperative and priority-based driving behavior. This paper presents an optimal right-turn coordination system for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) at single-lane intersections, particularly in the context of left-hand side driving on roads. The goal is to facilitate smooth right turns for certain vehicles without creating bottlenecks. We consider that all approaching vehicles share relevant information through vehicular communications. The Intersection Coordination Unit (ICU) processes this information and communicates the optimal crossing or turning times to the vehicles. The primary objective of this… More >

Abstract Objective expertise evaluation of individuals, as a prerequisite stage for team formation, has been a long-term desideratum in large software development companies. With the rapid advancements in machine learning methods, based on reliable existing data stored in project management tools’ datasets, automating this evaluation process becomes a natural step forward. In this context, our approach focuses on quantifying software developer expertise by using metadata from the task-tracking systems. For this, we mathematically formalize two categories of expertise: technology-specific expertise, which denotes the skills required for a particular technology, and general expertise, which encapsulates overall knowledge More >

Abstract With the increasing emphasis on personal information protection, encryption through security protocols has emerged as a critical requirement in data transmission and reception processes. Nevertheless, IoT ecosystems comprise heterogeneous networks where outdated systems coexist with the latest devices, spanning a range of devices from non-encrypted ones to fully encrypted ones. Given the limited visibility into payloads in this context, this study investigates AI-based attack detection methods that leverage encrypted traffic metadata, eliminating the need for decryption and minimizing system performance degradation—especially in light of these heterogeneous devices. Using the UNSW-NB15 and CICIoT-2023 dataset, encrypted and… More >

Abstract Since Google introduced the concept of Knowledge Graphs (KGs) in 2012, their construction technologies have evolved into a comprehensive methodological framework encompassing knowledge acquisition, extraction, representation, modeling, fusion, computation, and storage. Within this framework, knowledge extraction, as the core component, directly determines KG quality. In military domains, traditional manual curation models face efficiency constraints due to data fragmentation, complex knowledge architectures, and confidentiality protocols. Meanwhile, crowdsourced ontology construction approaches from general domains prove non-transferable, while human-crafted ontologies struggle with generalization deficiencies. To address these challenges, this study proposes an Ontology-Aware LLM Methodology for Military Domain More >

Abstract Covert timing channels (CTC) exploit network resources to establish hidden communication pathways, posing significant risks to data security and policy compliance. Therefore, detecting such hidden and dangerous threats remains one of the security challenges. This paper proposes LinguTimeX, a new framework that combines natural language processing with artificial intelligence, along with explainable Artificial Intelligence (AI) not only to detect CTC but also to provide insights into the decision process. LinguTimeX performs multidimensional feature extraction by fusing linguistic attributes with temporal network patterns to identify covert channels precisely. LinguTimeX demonstrates strong effectiveness in detecting CTC across… More >

Abstract The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has enabled their application in diverse professional domains, including law. However, research on automatic judicial document generation remains limited, particularly for Taiwanese courts. This study proposes a keyword-guided training framework that enhances LLMs’ ability to generate structured and semantically coherent judicial decisions in Chinese. The proposed method first employs LLMs to extract representative legal keywords from absolute court judgments. Then it integrates these keywords into Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback using Proximal Policy Optimization (RLHF-PPO).
