Edge Weight Concentration Overcomes Node Degree Blindness in Graph Based Network Intrusion Detection

This paper demonstrates that in graph-based network intrusion detection, edge-weight concentration features outperform traditional node-degree metrics when network address translation (NAT) collapses multiple hosts into few identities, revealing that these two feature families are complementary along the identity-collapse axis and that a compact, leakage-free graph-context feature set can achieve near-baseline performance with significantly reduced training costs.

Encoder-based 3D GAN inversion: A systematic review

This systematic review of 33 studies reveals that while encoder-based 3D GAN inversion enables real-time reconstruction and editing primarily on high-end hardware using EG3D-based architectures, its widespread adoption is currently limited by challenges in balancing speed with 3D consistency and a lack of robust geometric evaluation beyond frontal face datasets.

Credibility Aware Explainable Evaluation of Teaching Reform from Online Reviews

This paper proposes EduReview-QE, a credibility-aware and explainable multi-criteria framework that transforms noisy online reviews into diagnostic teaching reform evidence by decomposing reviews into aspect-sentiment units, filtering for credibility and temporal relevance, and aggregating dimension-level scores through entropy/CRITIC weighting and TOPSIS calibration to achieve superior evaluation performance.

From Value Alignment to Directional Resonance: A Practical Path of Care Transmission in Human-AI Symbiosis

This study challenges the notion that AI's structural indifference precludes genuine care by demonstrating through clinical practice and theoretical collaboration that authentic human-AI symbiosis can be achieved not through algorithmic value alignment, but by transmitting and sedimenting human directional care within long-term relational dynamics to generate stable, value-aligned resonance.
