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.

TurkCuisineBench: A source-grounded short-answer benchmark for large language models’ factual knowledge of Turkish cuisine and culinary heritage

This paper introduces TurkCuisineBench, a 72-item, source-grounded short-answer benchmark that evaluates large language models' factual knowledge of Turkish cuisine and heritage, demonstrating that semantic evaluation significantly improves accuracy assessment over exact-string matching while highlighting substantial performance variations across different model endpoints.

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.

Automated Brachial Plexus Localization in Ultrasound Using Lightweight Convolutional Neural Networks

This study demonstrates that lightweight convolutional neural networks, particularly MobileNetV2 and EfficientNetB0, offer a computationally efficient and reliable solution for automated brachial plexus localization in ultrasound images, making them well-suited for resource-constrained point-of-care environments despite achieving performance comparable to the heavier ResNet34 architecture.

Lifecycle Cyber-Resilience for Communication and IoT Systems in High-Risk Environments: A Simulation-Validated Architecture for Supply-Chain Assurance, Secure Access Governance, and Explainable Adaptive Operation

This paper presents and validates the Lifecycle Cyber-Resilience Architecture (LCRA) through large-scale simulation, demonstrating that integrating supply-chain assurance, identity-centred access governance, and explainable adaptive operation significantly enhances the containment of malicious incidents and operational stability in high-risk IoT environments compared to baseline approaches.

Benchmarking Stylometric Metrics for AI Authorship Verification: A Glass-Box Forensic Framework Across Language Models

This paper proposes a transparent "Glass-Box" forensic framework utilizing forty interpretable stylometric metrics to demonstrate that, despite lexical convergence, distinct and widening divergences in information-theoretic predictability, structural properties, and natural variability persist between human and AI-generated text across diverse datasets, offering a robust foundation for authorship verification.
