    Abstract Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have achieved strong performance in multimodal perception, understanding, and generation, but their ability to perform complex logical reasoning remains insufficiently understood. In particular, it is still unclear whether current LVLMs can reliably conduct explicit logical operations, multi-step inference, abstract relational reasoning, and cross-modal evidence integration. Reasoning abilities such as deductive, inductive, abductive, multi-hop, and causal inference are fundamental to robust decision making, trustworthy interaction, and real-world deployment, yet they have not been systematically examined in the LVLM literature. Existing surveys mainly discuss mathematical reasoning, general multimodal intelligence, or benchmark progress, but… More >

    Ismail Hossain1, Mridul Banik2, Fahmid Al Farid3,4, Jia Uddin5,*, Hezerul bin Abdul Karim4,*
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.148, No.1, 2026, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2026.075507 - 27 July 2026
    Abstract In recent years, the rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has significantly transformed natural language processing (NLP), enabling impressive performance across a wide range of tasks. However, these developments have largely benefited high-resource languages, leaving many low-resource and underrepresented languages at risk of further digital marginalization. Addressing this imbalance is crucial to building more inclusive and culturally sustainable AI systems, which is motivating growing research interest in adapting LLMs for linguistically diverse and resource-scarce communities. This systematic review examines recent progress (2020–2025) in the pretraining and adaptation of LLMs for Low-Resource Languages (LRLs). Analysed… More >

    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: The Evolution of Cybersecurity and AI: Surveys and Tutorials)
    Abstract With the widespread adoption of encryption protocols, payload-based traffic analysis has become increasingly infeasible, posing significant challenges for intrusion detection systems (IDS). Consequently, AI-based approaches for encrypted traffic analysis have gained substantial attention. However, existing studies are often evaluated using inconsistent criteria, including heterogeneous attack labels, behavioral representations, and model architectures, making systematic comparison difficult. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a three-level analytical taxonomy for encrypted traffic analysis, structured around attack objectives (Level 1), observable network behaviors (Level 2), and detection models (Level 3). The proposed framework provides a structured perspective for analyzing… More >

    Abstract This paper proposes a computational theory for multibody dynamics based on a novel co-rotational formulation of a four-node quadrilateral shell element, designed to address nonlinear dynamic problems in flexible multibody systems undergoing arbitrarily large displacements and rotations. To circumvent the numerical inefficiency caused by the asymmetric tangent stiffness matrix in conventional co-rotational approaches, an incrementally additive vectorial rotational variable is introduced, which ensures the symmetry of the element’s tangent stiffness matrix in both global and local coordinate systems. The adoption of this vectorial rotational variable substantially improves computational efficiency and numerical stability. Hamilton’s principle is… More >

    Teng Long1, Leyu Wang2,*, James D. Lee3, Cing-Dao Kan2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.148, No.1, 2026, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2026.080866 - 27 July 2026
    Abstract Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V has been widely applied in many industries, for example, aerospace, marine, automotive, and biomedical engineering systems, where accurate characterization of plastic deformation is important for evaluating material performance and potential failure under severe loading conditions. This material shows nonlinear plasticity and tension–compression asymmetry, which makes the strain hardening characterization important for computational failure analysis and crashworthiness-related simulations. However, conventional strain hardening models and parameter identification methods often rely on linear or extrapolation-based assumptions and are sensitive to initial guesses due to the non-convex nature of the optimization problem.

    Abstract Due to the complex and dynamic nature of multi-phase interfaces, accurately capturing interface evolution remains one of the key challenges in multi-phase flow simulations, particularly in modeling bubble rising. In this study, a fully Lagrangian method is developed by using the Generalized Finite Difference (GFD) scheme, which we refer to as Finite Difference Particle Method (FDPM), and the Continuum Surface Force (CSF) model to simulate bubble dynamics. In this framework, the fluid is represented by particles, and all partial differential terms in the Navier–Stokes equations are discretized into symmetric linear systems using the GFD scheme.… More >

    Abstract Accurate prediction of entropy generation in nanofluid turbulent convection is essential for optimizing thermal system efficiency, yet remains challenging due to complex near-wall phenomena and thermal property variations with temperature. This study applied an elliptic blending turbulence model (SST k-ω-φ-α) to numerically analyze entropy generation in alumina-water nanofluid flow through a uniformly heated circular tube. The model’s performance was validated using both experimental data and established heat transfer and fluid flow correlations at small wall-bulk temperature difference condition, and its superiority was rigorously evaluated against two widely adopted turbulence models (SST k-ω and realizable k-ε).… More >

    Abstract The development of accurate digital twin models of the human cornea is a key factor for planning and monitoring eye treatments and clinical supervision. Corneal tissue can be simulated with the implementation of hyperelastic models based on strain energy density functions. However, the number of hyperelastic models and the parameters’ variation that define these models hinder comparison across different studies. Furthermore, parameter calculations based on a single test are an ill-posed problem. In this research, a novel sequential methodology based on collagen fibril crimping strain threshold has been implemented to calculate the corneal material’s parameters. More >

    Abstract Body armor prevents projectile penetration, but thoracic visceral injury may still result from pressure-wave transmission and back-face deformation. However, thoracic responses to single and multiple impacts remain insufficiently understood, numerical human thoracic models need further validation, and load transfer between the rib cage and cardiopulmonary system remains unclear. Therefore, this study combined live-fire blunt-impact tests on a biomimetic thoracic target with a human thoracic finite element model with filled thoracic cavity gaps. Load transfer and cardiopulmonary responses under non-penetrating rifle-bullet impact were investigated using a SiC/UHMWPE composite ballistic insert. The results showed that, first, under… More >

    Abstract This study investigates the passive amplification of aerodynamic excitation forces through coordinated bluff-body geometric modifications to quantify the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) energy harvesting potential of stationary cylinders in the laminar regime. Two-dimensional laminar simulations on fixed bodies isolate geometric effects from structural feedback. Circumferential biomimetic grooves are first optimised on a circular baseline at Re=200 using a Taguchi orthogonal array (L9), identifying groove amplitude as the dominant control parameter and selecting N=24, Amp=5% as the optimal configuration, which yields a 21% increase in the root-mean-square lift coefficient (C,rms) and… More >

    Abstract Climate change modifies environmental exposure conditions and affects the corrosion-driven deterioration of steel bridges, thereby challenging conventional maintenance planning approaches. Thus, more advanced maintenance management strategies are required to address the challenges associated with varying corrosion rate projections. In this study, a novel adaptive maintenance management framework is proposed for steel truss bridges to address climate change-induced corrosion under evolving deterioration conditions. Adaptivity is achieved by updating corrosion rates to consider time-varying deterioration conditions associated with climate change. This enables time-dependent representation of corrosion progression under changing environmental conditions. The framework is demonstrated on a… More >

    Abstract This paper develops an operational framework for short-horizon risk management in multistate stochastic systems, with application to wind farm performance. We focus on instantaneous mobility-based indicators derived from finite-state continuous-time Markov chains, which capture the local propensity of a system to transition between states. Unlike classical reliability and availability measures, these indicators provide a dynamic description of system behavior. The indicators are interpreted as policy signals to support decision-making under budget constraints. We introduce a state-conditional expected short-horizon loss, representing non-production risk, and use it to evaluate ranking-based intervention strategies. The framework is applied to More >

Quantum transfer learning is the most active instance of this idea. However, existing quantum transfer learning pipelines have been evaluated in isolation, typically on a single software framework and without a structured treatment of noise or statistical significance, which makes it difficult to assess how this paradigm contributes over fair classical baselines.

Endothelial dysfunction, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) activity, adhesion molecule/chemokine activation, and inflammatory cytokine responses play important roles in its pathogenesis. This paper presents a delay differential equation model with stochastic perturbations to study lesion-level inflammatory mechanisms involved in Kawasaki disease pathogenesis. The model describes interactions among healthy endothelial cells, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), adhesion molecules/chemokines, and inflammatory cytokine activity. Mathematically, endothelial-cell injury promotes VEGF production, VEGF contributes… More >

    Abstract Modeling bounded response variables is an important problem in computational statistics, especially in applications involving skewed, heavy-tailed data. In such cases, the modal regression is a robust alternative to traditional mean-based modeling approaches. In this study, a new bounded distribution, called the extended Bradford distribution, is proposed as a flexible extension of the classical Bradford distribution. By incorporating an additional shape parameter, the corresponding model can capture various shape structures, such as left and right skewness, increasing, and bathtub hazard shapes. The new distribution provides an explicit expression for the mode, making it suitable for More >

    Abstract High-resolution remote sensing semantic segmentation is a fundamental task in Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI). Existing CNN-based methods are effective for local and multiscale feature extraction but often lack progressive cross-scale semantic propagation, while attention- and Transformer-based methods improve global spatial modeling but generally ignore frequency-domain regularities. To address these limitations, this study proposes a Multiscale Long-Distance Feature Aggregation Network (MLFANet), a unified spatial-frequency segmentation framework for high-resolution remote sensing imagery. MLFANet introduces three key components: a Multiscale Global Dependency Extraction module for cascaded cross-scale contextual refinement, an FFT-based frequency-domain branch with learnable global filtering for… More >

    Abstract The basic operation of a mobile robot is navigating to some target, avoiding collisions and possibly minimizing other criteria. A diversity of methods have been developed since the past century, and the research is still active, but there is one aspect that is often neglected: the duration of the steps in which computational devices divide the navigation process. Usually, it is set heuristically to a small, constant value for sampling observations frequently enough to ensure safety; however, each robot and environment has particularities that can make such a fixed timestep sub-optimal under some criteria.

    Abstract Optimal task assignment in holonic multi-agent systems has emerged as a pivotal problem in modern distributed systems. Despite substantial gains in agent coordination, many large-scale systems still suffer from poor job allocation, resulting in performance bottlenecks and resource waste. Effective task assignment is critical for these systems since it influences individual agent performance and overall adaptability. A significant challenge within holonic multi-agent systems is ensuring optimal task assignment while resolving performative inconsistencies, such as role conflicts and coordination failures among agents. This research proposes a novel optimization framework to address these inconsistencies, enabling more efficient More >

    Abstract Loop invariant inference is fundamental to program verification, yet it remains particularly challenging for multipath loops, where different execution paths may exhibit incompatible behaviors across feasible executions. In such settings, invariants that are both sound and sufficiently precise often require disjunctive forms, whose automatic inference remains difficult. This paper presents an efficient, path-sensitive, counterexample-guided framework for automated loop invariant inference. Our approach leverages a Path Dependency Automaton (PDA) to systematically decompose the semantics of multipath loops by modeling feasible execution paths independently. Building on this decomposition, we introduce a localized, path-guided Counterexample-Guided Invariant Refinement (CEGIR) More >

    Abstract Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) is a fundamental Natural Language Processing (NLP) task that aims to determine fine-grained sentiment polarity toward specific aspects mentioned in text. With the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) and transformer-based architectures, significant improvements have been achieved in contextual representation learning for sentiment analysis. However, existing LLM-inspired and transformer-based ABSA frameworks often suffer from inadequate aspect-context alignment, redundant feature integration, limited interpretability, and insufficient coordination between contextual and sequential modeling components. To address these challenges, this paper proposes two hybrid architectures, namely HABSA and AAC-HABSA, centered on a novel Adaptive Aspect… More >

    Abstract Spatial reasoning, defined as the ability to infer and compose relations among entities—is fundamental to geoinformatics applications such as spatial querying and map understanding. However, existing works such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT)-based spatial Question Answering (QA) models and neuro-symbolic models rely on dataset-specific patterns, leading to shortcut learning, where reliance on superficial lexical cues rather than true relational understanding. Recent Large Language Models (LLMs)-based works, including fine-tuning and Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting, partially alleviate shortcut learning but remain limited by non-causal reasoning, where predictions depend on spurious correlations rather than stable relational structure.

However, the recent emergence of audio-language models introduces a more flexible paradigm that enables multimodal reasoning through speech and natural language interaction. Nevertheless, their effectiveness for emotion recognition remains unclear. In this study, we evaluate audio-language models for speech emotion classification using the Spanish MEACorpus dataset and compare three approaches: prompt-based inference, embedding-based classification with lightweight classifiers, and instruction-tuned models with parameter-efficient fine-tuning plus a hybrid architecture based on class-specific confidence-driven routing.

Motivated by selective human attention strategies, we propose ARS-MMT (Attention and Reasoning through Source Sentences for Multimodal Machine Translation), an architecture that operationalizes a “look-and-think” pipeline: a source-language encoder first builds contextualized linguistic representations, a relation reasoning network then produces a query-conditioned visual channel, and a multimodal decoder generates the translation conditioned in parallel on the encoded text and on this visual channel. We quantify the contribution of the visual modality through a controlled ablation: zeroing… More >

This paper proposes a calibrated Link Quality Indicator (LQI)-based closed-form localization framework for partially connected Roadside Unit (RSU)-assisted VANETs.

However, existing diagnostic models suffer from two core bottlenecks: inefficient fusion of deep semantic features and clinical prior features, and insufficient multi-view facial feature disentanglement without CS-specific pathophysiological constraints. To address these limitations, we propose a novel Multi-View Facial Feature Disentanglement Network (MVFFD-Net) for high-precision automatic CS diagnosis.
