Adaptive Gated DenseNet121 for Paddy Disease Classification: Performance Gains and Limits of Sparsity-Based Pruning

This study demonstrates that an Adaptive Gated DenseNet121 model improves paddy disease classification accuracy over a standard baseline and enables limited parameter pruning, though it currently falls short of achieving robust mobile compression due to performance collapse at higher sparsity thresholds.

Deep Learning, Federated Learning, and Meta-Learning for Intrusion Detection in the Internet of Things: A Systematic Review, Taxonomy, and Research Agenda

This paper presents a systematic review of deep learning, federated learning, and meta-learning approaches for IoT intrusion detection, classifying existing works across six key dimensions while identifying critical limitations such as non-comparable evaluation protocols, insufficient handling of non-IID data, and a lack of reproducibility in code and edge measurements.

Mitigating Source-Domain Dependency for Target-Free Zero-Shot Medical Anomaly Detection

This paper proposes a CLIP-based framework that mitigates source-domain dependency in target-free zero-shot medical anomaly detection through multi-level strategies including prompt learning, adversarial visual adaptation, and feature consistency, thereby achieving robust generalization across heterogeneous medical imaging datasets without access to target data.

SIR-PhysNet: a deadline-aware ultra-lightweight pipeline for camera-based heart-rate monitoring on embedded hardware

The paper introduces SIR-PhysNet, an ultra-lightweight, deadline-aware rPPG pipeline that offloads geometric and illumination processing to fixed-cost operations and uses an analytical Fourier mask for heart rate extraction, enabling real-time, high-accuracy monitoring on resource-constrained edge devices like the Raspberry Pi 5 where face detection, rather than network inference, is the primary performance bottleneck.

Auditing Digital Twins: A Risk and Control Framework for Trustworthy Enterprise Decision Systems

This study proposes a quantitative Digital Twin Auditability Framework (DTAI) that integrates eight audit dimensions and a residual risk model to assess the trustworthiness of enterprise decision systems, revealing through empirical evaluation that while current environments are generally controlled, significant weaknesses in business continuity, traceability, and model governance require targeted improvements to mitigate risks like unauthorized access and data manipulation.
