Motion-Compensated PET Image Reconstruction via Separable Parabolic Surrogates

The effective resolution of positron emission tomography (PET) can be significantly degraded by patient motion during data acquisition. This is especially true in the thorax due to respiratory motion. This study concentrates on the improvem...

Assembly Function Recognition in Embedded Systems as an Optimization Problem

Many different aspects of software system development and verification rely on precise function identification in binary code. Recognition of the source Assembly functions in embedded systems is one of the fundamental challenges in binary p...

The effect of science centres on perceptions of secondary school students towards the nature of science

In the study reported on here, the effects of science centres on the perceptions of secondary school students towards the nature of science were examined. The study group consisted of 16 students aged 13 and 14 of which 7 were female and 9 ...

Vehicular ad hoc networks verification scheme based on bilinear pairings and networks reverse fuzzy extraction

Abstract Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have facilitated the massive exchange of real-time traffic and weather conditions, which have helped prevent collisions, reduce accidents, and road congestions. This can effectively enhance drivin...

Solving Composite Fixed Point Problems with Block Updates

Various strategies are available to construct iteratively a common fixed point of nonexpansive operators by activating only a block of operators at each iteration. In the more challenging class of composite fixed point problems involving op...

Towards Efficient Function Optimisation with Quantum–Classical Hybrid Search

Finding the global minimum of a function with many local extrema is well known to be a challenging computational task. We propose a hybrid quantum–classical algorithm for this optimisation problem, based on a combination of Grover quantum s...

The rank of contextuality

Quantum contextuality is one of the most recognized resources in quantum communication and computing scenarios. We provide a new quantifier of this resource, the rank of contextuality (RC). We define RC as the minimum number of non-contextu...

DEVELOPMENT OF STEM-BASED DIGITAL POCKETBOOK ON SPLDV MATERIAL USING THE ADDIE MODEL: APPLICATION IN ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

This study aims to assess the feasibility, teacher and student responses, and effectiveness of the STEM-based digital pocketbook on the topic of Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables (SPLDV). The subjects of this research were junior...

Efficient functional encryption for inner product with simulation-based security

Abstract Functional encryption (FE) is a novel paradigm for encryption scheme which allows tremendous flexibility in accessing encrypted information. In FE, a user can learn specific function of encrypted messages by restricted functional k...

A Multi-Stage NLP Framework for Knowledge Discovery from Crop Disease Research Literature

Extracting and organizing knowledge from the agricultural crop disease research literature are challenging tasks because of the heterogeneous terminologies, complicated symptom descriptions, and unstructured nature of scientific documents. ...

Transformer-Based Approach for Solving Mathematical Problems Using Automatic Speech Recognition

In this paper, we introduce Vox Calculi, a system designed to solve mathematical problems using voice transcriptions. By leveraging state-of-the-art pretrained Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models, we accurately transcribe users&#x2019...

Optimizing Tourism Accommodation Offers by Integrating Language Models and Knowledge Graph Technologies

Online platforms have become the primary means for travellers to search, compare, and book accommodations for their trips. Consequently, online platforms and revenue managers must acquire a comprehensive comprehension of these dynamics to f...

Economic Activity Forecasting Based on the Sentiment Analysis of News

The outbreak of war and the earlier and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic determined the need for real-time monitoring of economic activity. The economic activity of a country can be defined in different ways. Most often, the country’s economic act...

Improving Web Readability Using Video Content: A Relevance-Based Approach

With the increasing integration of multimedia elements into webpages, videos have emerged as a popular medium for enhancing user engagement and knowledge retention. However, irrelevant or poorly placed videos can hinder readability and dist...

Revenue-sensitive evaluation of AI-assisted ICD-10-CM coding and human-AI collaboration under dual DRG payment systems

Abstract Automated ICD-10-CM coding is critical for hospital reimbursement under Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) payment systems, yet standard metrics weight all errors equally. This study evaluated 11 models on MIMIC-IV under heterogeneous c...

Natural Language Processing-Based Financial Time Series Forecasting: Utilizing Sentiment Analysis for Improved Stock Price Prediction

This study explores the application of natural language processing (NLP) techniques in financial time series forecasting, specifically in predicting stock prices. Historical stock price data and textual data from financial news articles and...

Natural Language Processing

The primary concern of natural language processing is the design and implementation of computational systems for analysing and understanding human languages to automate certain real-life tasks demanding human language abilities. It is typic...

Transformer-Based Abstractive Summarization for Reddit and Twitter: Single Posts vs. Comment Pools in Three Languages

Abstractive summarization is a technique that allows for extracting condensed meanings from long texts, with a variety of potential practical applications. Nonetheless, today’s abstractive summarization research is limited to testing the mo...
