TOMAgent: Budget-Aware Test Opportunity Modeling for Reliability-Oriented Multi-Agent Unit Test Generation

This paper introduces TOMAgent, a budget-aware multi-agent framework that optimizes unit test generation by modeling target selection as a marginal-utility problem, achieving a 40% fault-detection success rate on Defects4J benchmarks—significantly outperforming uniform and coverage-guided baselines—while maintaining competitive mutation scores and token efficiency.

Insulator Defect Detection Based on Multi-Scale Perception and Context-Guided Feature Aggregation

To address the challenges of scale variation, weak textures, and background similarity in UAV-based insulator defect detection, this paper proposes the Scale-Aware Context Aggregation Network (SACANet), which integrates scale-aware receptive-field aggregation, four-scale bidirectional feature refinement, and spatially aligned multi-scale prediction to achieve state-of-the-art performance on the FLOWID dataset.

Evidence aware multimodal auditing of museum image metadata consistency

This paper introduces an evidence-aware, provenance-controlled benchmark using 295 lacquerware objects from the National Palace Museum Taipei to audit the consistency of museum image metadata against visual evidence, revealing significant gaps in current automated and human evaluation capabilities and highlighting the necessity of explicitly modeling evidential sufficiency and field-specific uncertainty in future metadata-auditing systems.

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.
