A low-code data anonymization platform for achieving data privacy for research data

This paper introduces a novel, low-code Shiny-based data anonymization platform that empowers researchers, particularly in resource-constrained settings, to protect sensitive information and ensure data utility through an intuitive interface, integrated risk assessment, and automatic generation of reproducible code in R, Stata, and Python.

Robust Multimodal Sentiment Recognition Using Facial Expressions, Heart Rate Variability and Speech Signals

This paper proposes a robust multimodal deep learning framework that fuses facial expressions, heart rate variability, and speech signals using CNNs, BiLSTMs, and ECAPA-TDNNs with a self-organizing map for feature fusion, achieving 98.6% accuracy in recognizing seven emotional states and significantly outperforming unimodal baselines.

Visual distinctiveness drives memorization beyond rarity in fine-tuned medical imaging models

This study reveals that visual distinctiveness, rather than rarity alone, is the primary driver of memorization and membership inference vulnerability in fine-tuned medical imaging models, demonstrating that medical-domain pretraining fails to mitigate these risks while DP-LoRA effectively reduces them.

Feature Calibration for Camera Bias Elimination inUnsupervised Person Re-Identification

This paper proposes Feature Calibration for Camera Bias Elimination (FCBE), a framework that mitigates camera-induced bias in unsupervised person re-identification through style-aware metric calibration and distribution-aware median calibration, thereby enhancing clustering reliability and achieving state-of-the-art performance on Market-1501 and MSMT17 datasets.

A Double-Sided Walrasian Auction Mechanism for Decentralized Resource Allocation in Collaborative Multi-Access Edge Computing

This paper proposes a deterministic, decentralized Double-Sided Walrasian Auction mechanism for collaborative Multi-Access Edge Computing that replaces computationally expensive and non-adaptive AI-based approaches with exact KKT-optimal bidding and a discrete-time price-adjustment procedure, achieving superior execution speed, energy bounds, and social welfare maximization even under high network loads.

A Measurement Note on Pre-Wrap and Reader-Visible Context Accounting for a Capped FLAN-T5 QA Pipeline

This measurement note audits the discrepancy between nominal compression ratios and the actual reader-visible context retained in a capped FLAN-T5 QA pipeline, demonstrating that while higher nominal ratios increase pre-wrap token counts, the final model input is significantly constrained by template overhead and truncation, and that content selection quality matters more than token budget alone.

Physics-Constrained Neural Identification of Thermal Kinetic Parameters from Multi-Rate Thermogravimetric Data

This paper presents a physics-constrained neural identification framework that simultaneously reconstructs thermal conversion curves and accurately estimates Arrhenius kinetic parameters from multi-rate thermogravimetric data, effectively overcoming the ill-conditioning and noise sensitivity of conventional methods to enable robust prediction across unseen heating rates.
