Beyond Transfer Learning: Evaluating the Trustworthiness of Pretrained GeoAI Models for Rooftop Solar PV Mapping

This study demonstrates that while transfer learning significantly enhances the performance of pretrained GeoAI models for rooftop solar PV mapping across geographic regions, predictive accuracy alone is insufficient to guarantee trustworthy deployment, necessitating a comprehensive evaluation framework that also accounts for robustness, reliability, generalization, transparency, and residual uncertainty.

A Hybrid Two-Tier Continuous Authentication Framework with a Security-First Calibration Strategy for Zero-Trust Web Deployments

This paper presents ALJ, a hybrid two-tier continuous authentication framework for Zero-Trust web deployments that replaces proxy models with genuine ARIMA, LCS, SVM, and JRip algorithms and introduces a security-first calibration strategy to significantly improve recall and reduce adversary bypass rates compared to standard static thresholds.

Two-stage machine vision and near-infrared spectroscopy for grading leafhopper damage in fresh tea leaves

This study developed a two-stage workflow combining an improved YOLOv8s machine vision model for initial leafhopper damage screening with a near-infrared spectroscopy model for reassessing uncertain cases, achieving a 89.5% overall grading accuracy for fresh tea leaves that significantly outperforms standalone visual assessment.
