Solving the flexible job-shop scheduling problem based on the hierarchical collaborative evolution multi-objective artificial raindrop algorithm

This paper proposes a hierarchical co-evolutionary multi-objective artificial raindrop algorithm (HCMOARA) that integrates Latin hypercube sampling, partitioned subpopulations with specialized search strategies, and an adaptive flow-factor update mechanism to effectively optimize makespan, energy consumption, and cost in flexible job-shop scheduling problems.

AI-Based Fraud Detection System for Subscription-Based Payment Services

This paper proposes and evaluates an AI-based fraud detection system specifically designed for subscription-based payment services, demonstrating that a hybrid XGBoost+Bi-LSTM architecture outperforms standalone models across multiple metrics on a synthetic dataset covering six distinct fraud types, while explicitly acknowledging the results as proof-of-concept evidence rather than validated real-world performance.

An immunological synapse network for recognition of persistent weak anomalies

This paper introduces the Immunological Synapse Network (ISN), a novel deep-learning architecture inspired by T-cell recognition mechanisms that effectively detects persistent weak anomalies in time-series data by filtering out transient signals through kinetic proofreading, outperforming standard models on tasks defined by temporal continuity rather than instantaneous magnitude.

Machine Learning versus Deep Learning for Public Financial Report Classification and Popularity Prediction: A Feasibility Study on Ghana's Controller and Accountant-General's Department

This feasibility study evaluates the performance of classical machine learning and deep learning models on Ghana's Controller and Accountant-General's Department financial reports, revealing that while fine-tuned XGBoost achieved perfect category classification, the subsequent ablation study demonstrated that keyword features significantly inflated these results, underscoring the critical need for rigorous feature validation before deploying such tools in public sector contexts.

A Candidate Pattern Language for Resilient SME Data Pipelines: Design and Failure-Injection Evaluation

This paper proposes and synthetically evaluates a candidate pattern language of seven design patterns for resilient data pipelines in resource-constrained small and medium-sized enterprises, demonstrating through failure-injection experiments that these patterns effectively address specific failure modes—such as duplicates, schema drift, and silent data loss—compared to standard baselines, while explicitly acknowledging the study's limitations as a prototype-based, non-field-validated contribution.
