Abstract In fire rescue scenarios, traditional manual operations are highly dangerous, as dense smoke, low visibility, extreme heat, and toxic gases not only hinder rescue efficiency but also endanger firefighters’ safety. Although intelligent rescue robots can enter hazardous environments in place of humans, smoke poses major challenges for human detection algorithms. These challenges include the attenuation of visible and infrared signals, complex thermal fields, and interference from background objects, all of which make it difficult to accurately identify trapped individuals. To address this problem, we propose VIF-YOLO, a visible–infrared fusion model for real-time human detection in… More >

Abstract Internet of Things (IoTs) devices are bringing about a revolutionary change our society by enabling connectivity regardless of time and location. However, The extensive deployment of these devices also makes them attractive victims for the malicious actions of adversaries. Within the spectrum of existing threats, Side-Channel Attacks (SCAs) have established themselves as an effective way to compromise cryptographic implementations. These attacks exploit unintended, unintended physical leakage that occurs during the cryptographic execution of devices, bypassing the theoretical strength of the crypto design. In recent times, the advancement of deep learning has provided SCAs with a… More >

Abstract This paper investigates the detection and mitigation of coordinated cyberattacks on Load Frequency Control (LFC) systems integrated with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). As renewable energy sources gain greater penetration, power grids are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats, potentially leading to frequency instability and widespread disruptions. We model two significant attack vectors: load-altering attacks (LAAs) and false data injection attacks (FDIAs) that corrupt frequency measurements. These are analyzed for their impact on grid frequency stability in both linear and nonlinear LFC models, incorporating generation rate constraints and nonlinear loads. A coordinated attack strategy is… More >

Abstract Legal case classification involves the categorization of legal documents into predefined categories, which facilitates legal information retrieval and case management. However, real-world legal datasets often suffer from class imbalances due to the uneven distribution of case types across legal domains. This leads to biased model performance, in the form of high accuracy for overrepresented categories and underperformance for minority classes. To address this issue, in this study, we propose a data augmentation method that masks unimportant terms within a document selectively while preserving key terms from the perspective of the legal domain. This approach enhances More >

Abstract High-dimensional data causes difficulties in machine learning due to high time consumption and large memory requirements. In particular, in a multi-label environment, higher complexity is required as much as the number of labels. Moreover, an optimization problem that fully considers all dependencies between features and labels is difficult to solve. In this study, we propose a novel regression-based multi-label feature selection method that integrates mutual information to better exploit the underlying data structure. By incorporating mutual information into the regression formulation, the model captures not only linear relationships but also complex non-linear dependencies. The proposed… More >

Abstract Online Public Opinion Reports consolidate news and social media for timely crisis management by governments and enterprises. While large language models (LLMs) enable automated report generation, this specific domain lacks formal task definitions and corresponding benchmarks. To bridge this gap, we define the Automated Online Public Opinion Report Generation (OPOR-Gen) task and construct OPOR-Bench, an event-centric dataset with 463 crisis events across 108 countries (comprising 8.8 K news articles and 185 K tweets). To evaluate report quality, we propose OPOR-Eval, a novel agent-based framework that simulates human expert evaluation. Validation experiments show OPOR-Eval achieves a More >

Abstract Accurate and reliable power system data are fundamental for critical operations such as grid monitoring, fault diagnosis, and load forecasting, underpinned by increasing intelligentization and digitalization. However, data loss and anomalies frequently compromise data integrity in practical settings, significantly impacting system operational efficiency and security. Most existing data recovery methods require complete datasets for training, leading to substantial data and computational demands and limited generalization. To address these limitations, this study proposes a missing data imputation model based on an improved Generative Adversarial Network (BAC-GAN). Within the BAC-GAN framework, the generator utilizes Bidirectional Long Short-Term… More >

Abstract Accurate segmentation of breast cancer in mammogram images plays a critical role in early diagnosis and treatment planning. As research in this domain continues to expand, various segmentation techniques have been proposed across classical image processing, machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and hybrid/ensemble models. This study conducts a systematic literature review using the PRISMA methodology, analyzing 57 selected articles to explore how these methods have evolved and been applied. The review highlights the strengths and limitations of each approach, identifies commonly used public datasets, and observes emerging trends in model integration and clinical relevance. More >

Abstract Knowledge distillation has become a standard technique for compressing large language models into efficient student models, but existing methods often struggle to balance prediction accuracy with explanation quality. Recent approaches such as Distilling Step-by-Step (DSbS) introduce explanation supervision, yet they apply it in a uniform manner that may not fully exploit the different learning dynamics of prediction and explanation. In this work, we propose a task-structured curriculum learning (TSCL) framework that structures training into three sequential phases: (i) prediction-only, to establish stable feature representations; (ii) joint prediction–explanation, to align task outputs with rationale generation; and (iii)… More >

Abstract Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer mortality world-wide, with accurate molecular subtyping is critical for guiding treatment and improving patient outcomes. Traditional molecular subtyping via immuno-histochemistry (IHC) test is invasive, time-consuming, and may not fully represent tumor heterogeneity. This study proposes a non-invasive approach using digital mammography images and deep learning algorithm for classifying breast cancer molecular subtypes. Four pretrained models, including two Convolutional Neural Networks (MobileNet_V3_Large and VGG-16) and two Vision Transformers (ViT_B_16 and ViT_Base_Patch16_Clip_224) were fine-tuned to classify images into HER2-enriched, Luminal, Normal-like, and Triple Negative subtypes.
