Abstract The surge in smishing attacks underscores the urgent need for robust, real-time detection systems powered by advanced deep learning models. This paper introduces PhishNet, a novel ensemble learning framework that integrates transformer-based models (RoBERTa) and large language models (LLMs) (GPT-OSS 120B, LLaMA3.3 70B, and Qwen3 32B) to enhance smishing detection performance significantly. To mitigate class imbalance, we apply synthetic data augmentation using T5 and leverage various text preprocessing techniques. Our system employs a dual-layer voting mechanism: weighted majority voting among LLMs and a final ensemble vote to classify messages as ham, spam, or smishing. Experimental More >

Abstract This study investigates sarcasm detection in text using a dataset of 8095 sentences compiled from MUStARD and HuggingFace repositories, balanced across sarcastic and non-sarcastic classes. A sequential baseline model (LSTM) is compared with transformer-based models (RoBERTa and XLNet), integrated with attention mechanisms. Transformers were chosen for their proven ability to capture long-range contextual dependencies, whereas LSTM serves as a traditional benchmark for sequential modeling. Experimental results show that RoBERTa achieves 0.87 accuracy, XLNet 0.83, and LSTM 0.52. These findings confirm that transformer architectures significantly outperform recurrent models in sarcasm detection. Future work will incorporate multimodal More >

Abstract Accurate plant species classification is essential for many applications, such as biodiversity conservation, ecological research, and sustainable agricultural practices. Traditional morphological classification methods are inherently slow, labour-intensive, and prone to inaccuracies, especially when distinguishing between species exhibiting visual similarities or high intra-species variability. To address these limitations and to overcome the constraints of image-only approaches, we introduce a novel Artificial Intelligence-driven framework. This approach integrates robust Vision Transformer (ViT) models for advanced visual analysis with a multi-modal data fusion strategy, incorporating contextual metadata such as precise environmental conditions, geographic location, and phenological traits. This combination… More >

Abstract The natural language processing (NLP) domain has witnessed significant advancements with the emergence of transformer-based models, which have reshaped the text understanding and generation landscape. While their capabilities are well recognized, there remains a limited systematic synthesis of how these models perform across tasks, scale efficiently, adapt to domains, and address ethical challenges. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to analyze the performance of transformer-based models across various NLP tasks, their scalability, domain adaptation, and the ethical implications of such models. This meta-analysis paper synthesizes findings from 25 peer-reviewed studies on NLP transformer-based models,… More >
