AI for Sustainability: A Smart Data Model to Guide Governmental Decisions

This paper proposes a smart data analytics framework utilizing machine learning models (Linear Regression, Random Forest, and XGBoost) to evaluate and predict sustainability indicators aligned with UN SDGs, demonstrating that XGBoost offers the most stable performance while providing governments with an interpretable, evidence-based tool for optimizing resource allocation and long-term strategic planning.

Effective Segregation of Duties in Agentic Enterprise Authorization: Evaluating Shared-Dependence Risk in Maker–Checker Controls

This paper introduces the concept of Effective Segregation of Duties (SoD) to distinguish between nominal identity separation and actual independent assurance in AI-driven authorization, demonstrating through a large-scale P2P benchmark that effective risk mitigation relies on evidence mediation and heterogeneous checker models rather than mere principal distinctness.

Trust-Aware Deep Policy Routing for Tactical Vehicle Ad Hoc Networks under Joint Mobility and Routing-Plane Attacks

This paper introduces AIRouteOpt, a trust-aware deep policy-routing framework that leverages Proximal Policy Optimization to dynamically select next hops based on link quality and recursively updated trust scores, significantly improving packet delivery rates in tactical vehicle MANETs under joint mobility and routing-plane attacks compared to traditional trust-blind and threshold-based approaches.

The Logical Structure of Clinical Trial Eligibility Criteria: A Corpus-Scale Measurement of Disjunction in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Trials

This study demonstrates that nearly half of clinical trial eligibility criteria for non-small-cell lung cancer involve logical disjunctions rather than simple conjunctions, revealing that the common assumption of independent requirements leads to significant safety and efficiency errors in automated patient-trial matching.

Evaluating and Mitigating Hallucinations in Retrieval-Augmented Question Answering over Uzbek School Textbooks

This study introduces the UzHistQA dataset and demonstrates that while retrieval-augmented generation significantly reduces hallucinations in Uzbek history question answering, enforcing citation and abstention mechanisms is necessary to completely eliminate fabricated answers, highlighting the need to separately evaluate retrieval quality and generation faithfulness in under-resourced languages.
