Separating AI-assisted authoring from governed execution through specification-driven composition A design framework and industrial experience report for explainable automation in regulated data transformation

This paper proposes a specification-driven composition framework that enables the safe use of AI in regulated data workflows by separating AI-assisted authoring from governed execution, ensuring that only validated, versioned, and fully traceable artifacts are composed and executed.

Rethinking Learning with Noisy Labels: A CriticalReview of Structured Supervision, RepresentationDynamics, and Robust-Learning Pipelines

This critical narrative review redefines learning with noisy labels by moving beyond random error assumptions to analyze structured supervision mismatches, representation dynamics, and robust pipelines, ultimately connecting noise assumptions with risk correction and evaluation protocols to address challenges in modern foundation-model and open-world ecosystems.

Explainable Machine Learning Framework to Prioritize Predictors of Type 2 Diabetes Risk Among Adult Males Using Lifestyle and Clinical Indicators

This study developed an explainable machine learning framework using NHANES 2017–2018 data to demonstrate that while age, fasting glucose, and family history are top predictors of Type 2 diabetes in adult males, the inclusion of waist-to-hip ratio significantly enhances risk prediction accuracy when fasting glucose is excluded.

When Unseen Attacks Look Normal: Open-Set Evaluation, Feature Observability, and Protocol-Invariant Detection in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

This paper demonstrates that while standard machine learning models fail to detect unseen attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks due to their reliance on variable distributions, a simple protocol-invariant feature—counting routing neighbors with no decoded frames—achieves perfect detection of wormhole attacks by identifying structural violations rather than statistical anomalies.
