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 >

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 >

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 >

Nevertheless, FL is still vulnerable to numerous security and privacy issues, including, but not limited to, data poisoning, Byzantine attacks, and inference attacks. The existing literature has only partly dealt with this topic by focusing either on particular threats or on mitigation strategies, thus leaving the overall comprehension of the problems and their solutions in medical imaging as inadequate.

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 >

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 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.

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.

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 >

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.

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.

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. To address these… More >

Abstract Traditionally, speech emotion recognition has relied on supervised models that require task-specific training and annotated data. 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. Our results show that the hybrid approach… More >

Abstract Multimodal AI systems often suffer from “over-informing”, where excessive raw visual input introduces noise that distracts from task-relevant decisions. 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 >

Abstract Accurate vehicle localization is essential for safety-critical vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), including emergency response, navigation, traffic monitoring, and cooperative driving. However, conventional GPS/GNSS positioning systems have often shown degradation in tunnels, dense urban corridors, and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments, where satellite visibility and signal reliability are limited. This paper proposes a calibrated Link Quality Indicator (LQI)-based closed-form localization framework for partially connected Roadside Unit (RSU)-assisted VANETs. The proposed framework first calibrates the LQI-to-range relationship using numerical regression parameters and then converts accepted LQI observations into distance estimates. The distances are processed through a variance-aware weighted… More >

Abstract Cushing’s syndrome (CS) is a rare endocrine disorder characterized by chronic hypercortisolism, and facial image-based intelligent diagnosis has emerged as a promising non-invasive approach. 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. The network takes five standard facial views (frontal, bilateral

Abstract The Animated Oat Optimization Algorithm (AOO) is a novel evolutionary algorithm inspired by the behavior of animated oats. This paper proposes a Competitive Parallel Animated Oat Optimization Algorithm (CPAOO) comprising two components. First, a parallel strategy is employed in which inter-subpopulation communication is triggered at predefined iteration thresholds to balance exploration and exploitation. Second, a grouped competition strategy with incentive mechanisms is introduced, enabling the prioritized evolution of superior individuals to enhance the algorithm’s efficiency. Furthermore, building on the Prediction Error Expansion (PEE) algorithm, this paper proposes a Dual-Layer PEE (DLPEE) algorithm for reversible digital More >

Abstract Digital pathology is rapidly transforming histopathological diagnosis, yet many existing deep learning models treat all spatial regions uniformly and do not exploit the multi-frequency structure of tissue, which limits both diagnostic accuracy and computational efficiency. This paper proposes WaSA-Net, an end-to-end architecture that integrates three complementary modules for histopathological image analysis. First, the Wavelet-Guided Tokenization (WGT) module decomposes input images into frequency-aware representations using learnable wavelet-like filters, so that both global tissue structures and fine-grained cellular patterns are exposed to attention from the first layer. Second, the Dynamic Sparse Attention with Pathology Priors (DSA-PP) module… More >

Abstract In general, medical biometric datasets, with the essential unique behavioral and physical traits for personalized healthcare, shape the patient identification process, but the tendency towards transparency and fairness is still far away. Most of the existing methods fail to integrate the latest mathematical techniques rigorously with the deep learning models, which eventually makes such models undesirable due to their lack of interpretability and potential bias. As such, in this study, a novel Contour Integrated Transparent Augmented Deep Learning (CITADL) methodology is introduced to bridge this gap. In this study, a structured framework, namely CITADL, combines… More >

Abstract The rapid evolution of quantum computing poses a fundamental challenge to classical public-key cryptosystems, accelerating the adoption of lattice-based post-quantum cryptography in large-scale digital infrastructures, including Future Mobile Internet Technologies (FMIT) and their convergence applications (FMIT-CA). As lattice-based cryptography is expected to play an important role in such environments, accurate hardness estimation and parameter assessment of underlying lattice problems have become increasingly important. Since the security of these cryptographic schemes is closely related to the computational hardness of the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP), improving practical SVP-solving techniques contributes indirectly to the security evaluation of such… More >

Abstract In Future Mobile Internet and convergence application scenarios, existing network attack traffic detection methods are insufficient in characterizing cross-flow correlations and structural dependencies during the attack process, and therefore still have limited generalization ability in complex scenarios and unknown attack identification tasks. To address this issue, this paper proposes a cross-flow modeling large language model framework, which extends the traditional detection paradigm based on single-flow features to joint modeling oriented toward cross-flow context and relational structure. Specifically, this paper constructs cross-flow context through flow sorting, grouping, and cross-group sampling, and combines an inter-flow relation matrix… More >

Abstract Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm networks are increasingly deployed in surveillance, disaster response, and intelligent transportation systems, where secure and efficient communication is critical under resource-constrained environments. However, conventional public-key-based security mechanisms introduce excessive computational overhead, while standalone intrusion detection systems are insufficient to defend against dynamic and multi-vector attacks in swarm networks. To address these challenges, in this paper, a lightweight time-indexed secure communication framework with intrusion detection modeling (TSCID) is proposed for resource-constrained UAV swarm networks. The proposed TSCID integrates a time-indexed session key derivation mechanism with lightweight authenticated encryption to ensure confidentiality,… More >

Abstract Future mobile Internet and convergence applications increasingly rely on encrypted protocols, making security monitoring difficult because payload inspection is unavailable while traffic classes and threats evolve continuously. Encrypted traffic classification models must therefore adapt to newly emerging traffic classes without repeatedly overwriting or fully retraining large Transformer backbones. This study presents and extends an ET-BERT Adapter Fusion framework for AI/ML-driven encrypted-traffic security monitoring in future mobile Internet and convergence applications. The framework keeps the ET-BERT backbone frozen, trains a Base Adapter on USTC-TFC2016 classes 0–9, trains an Incremental Adapter for class 10, and composes them… More >

Abstract As mobile networks evolve toward next-generation architectures in which cellular and IP-based voice services are increasingly converged, SIMBox-based call routing has emerged as an important issue in modern telecommunication networks. By converting Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic into local cellular calls, SIMBox appliances allow IP-originated calls to appear as domestic cellular calls. Although SIMBox usage is not inherently fraudulent, detecting SIMBox-routed calls is important for identifying abnormal call-routing behavior and supporting network-side and client-side security applications. In this paper, we propose a client-side framework for SIMBox-routed call detection. Calls routed through SIMBox infrastructure are identified… More >
