Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing: A Progressive Multi-Architecture Computer Vision Framework for Real-Time Defect Detection

This paper presents a progressive multi-architecture computer vision framework for real-time defect detection in Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), systematically evaluating and comparing interpretable two-step models, end-to-end deep learning networks, and a novel learnable preprocessing architecture (MCFE-Net) to optimize the trade-offs between computational efficiency, interpretability, and anomaly detection accuracy.

Testing the Consent-Friction Functional: Preference-Design Artifacts and the Contention-Bounded Limits of Coordination Friction in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

This empirical study tests a consent-friction functional in multi-agent reinforcement learning, rejecting its specific monotone form as a universal predictor while demonstrating that observed coordination effects are largely artifacts of design choices and that the sole surviving structural effect—where cooperative alignment improves outcomes—is driven by increased feasibility in shared-resource environments rather than reduced learning friction.

What Makes a Review Read as Positive or Negative? Linguistic Signatures of Valence in Online Consumer and Cultural-Product Reviews

This study demonstrates that while sentiment intensity, readability, and lexical diversity reliably distinguish positive from negative reviews across film and consumer-electronics domains, affective punctuation exhibits contradictory valence signals between categories, highlighting the critical need for domain-specific calibration in automated sentiment analysis systems.

Temporal Reliability of ChatGPT-Generated Bilingual Texts: Implications for AI-Assisted Language Learning and Multilingual Information Access

This study evaluates the temporal reliability of four successive ChatGPT versions in bilingual translation across finance, technology, and public policy domains, revealing that model updates do not guarantee consistent improvements in semantic accuracy or readability and instead exhibit diverging performance trajectories that necessitate continuous, domain-specific evaluations for AI-assisted language applications.
