Distilling Facial Emotional Cues into EEG Representations for Robust Emotion Recognition in Mental Health Monitoring

The paper proposes Cross-Modality Enhanced Distillation (C-MED), a framework that transfers multimodal EEG-facial knowledge to a deployable EEG-only student model via contrastive alignment and bilinear interaction, achieving robust, subject-independent emotion recognition on the SEED-VII and DEAP benchmarks without requiring synchronized facial data at inference.

Dynamic ensemble approach for multi-class classification based on neighborhood rough sets and sequential three-way decisions

This paper proposes EM-S3WD, a dynamic ensemble framework that integrates neighborhood rough sets with sequential three-way decisions and a conditional dynamic integration strategy to overcome the limitations of fixed reference tuples and binary constraints in Xu et al.'s original model, thereby achieving adaptive and competitive multi-class classification performance.

Artificial Intelligence Driven Grading and Personalised Feedback in Higher Education Assessment

This systematic literature review synthesizes evidence from 2020 to 2026 to demonstrate that while AI-driven grading and personalized feedback significantly enhance efficiency, consistency, and scalability in higher education assessment, their responsible implementation requires robust ethical safeguards and human oversight to address challenges such as algorithmic bias, data privacy, and academic integrity.

Hierarchical Compositional Hypergraphs Encode Document Structure for Classification

This paper introduces a Hierarchical Compositional Hypergraph (HCH) that encodes document structure through ordered token, sentence, and paragraph layers, demonstrating that combining these structural features with standard TF–IDF yields statistically significant improvements in text classification accuracy and macro-F1 over lexical baselines alone.

Interpretable ensemble machine learning identifies player-specific performance indicators in elite tennis

This study demonstrates that an interpretable ensemble machine learning workflow applied to Novak Djokovic's Grand Slam data not only achieves high predictive accuracy for set outcomes but also reveals player-specific performance indicators, such as backhand returns, that are often overlooked by individual models.

Native Byzantine-Robust Aggregation for Trustworthy Federated Learning: A C++20 Evaluation of Krum, Multi-Krum, Trimmed Mean, and Coordinate-wise Median

This paper presents and evaluates a high-performance C++20 implementation of Byzantine-robust aggregation algorithms (Krum, Multi-Krum, Trimmed Mean, and Median) for Federated Learning, demonstrating through rigorous correctness checks and benchmarks that combining explicit Byzantine assumptions with numerically defensive native systems design significantly accelerates aggregation while maintaining robustness against adversarial updates.
