Type 1 diabetes (T1D) management can be significantly enhanced through the use of predictive machine learning (ML) algorithms, which can mitigate the risk of adverse events like hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia, characterized by blood glucose levels below 70 mg/dL, is a life-threatening condition typically caused by excessive insulin administration, missed meals, or physical activity. Its asymptomatic nature impedes timely intervention, making ML models crucial for early detection. This study integrates short- (up to 2h) and long-term (up to 24h) prediction horizons (PHs) within a single classification model to enhance decision support. The predicted times are 5-15 min, 15-30 min, 30 min-1h, 1-2h, 2-4h, 4-8h, 8-12h, and 12-24h before hypoglycemia. In addition, a simplified model classifying up to 4h before hypoglycemia is compared. We trained ResNet and LSTM models on glucose levels, insulin doses, and acceleration data. The results demonstrate the superiority of the LSTM models when classifying nine classes. In particular, subject-specific models yielded better performance but achieved high recall only for classes 0, 1, and 2 with 98%, 72%, and 50%, respectively. A population-based six-class model improved the results with at least 60% of events detected. In contrast, longer PHs remain challenging with the current approach and may be considered with different models.

In today's digital world, cyberbullying is a serious problem that can harm the mental and physical health of people who use social media. This paper explains just how serious cyberbullying is and how it really affects indi-viduals exposed to it. It also stresses how important it is to find better ways to detect cyberbullying so that online spaces can be safer. Plus, it talks about how making more accurate tools to spot cyberbullying will be really helpful in the future. Our paper introduces a deep learning-based ap-proach, primarily employing BERT and BiLSTM architectures, to effective-ly address cyberbullying. This approach is designed to analyse large vol-umes of posts and predict potential instances of cyberbullying in online spaces. Our results demonstrate the superiority of the hateBERT model, an extension of BERT focused on hate speech detection, among the five mod-els, achieving an accuracy rate of 89.16%. This research is a significant con-tribution to "Computational Intelligence for Social Transformation," prom-ising a safer and more inclusive digital landscape.

In this paper, we show that preprocessing data using a variant of rank transformation called 'Average Rank over an Ensemble of Sub-samples (ARES)' makes clustering algorithms robust to data representation and enable them to detect varying density clusters. Our empirical results, obtained using three most widely used clustering algorithms-namely KMeans, DBSCAN, and DP (Density Peak)-across a wide range of real-world datasets, show that clustering after ARES transformation produces better and more consistent results.

E-Commerce (EC) websites provide a large amount of useful information that exceed human cognitive processing ability. In order to help customers in comparing alternatives when buying a product, previous studies designed opinion summarization systems based on customer reviews. They ignored templates' information provided by manufacturers, although these descriptive information have much product aspects or characteristics. Therefore, this paper proposes a methodology coined as SEOpinion (Summa-rization and Exploration of Opinions) which provides a summary for the product aspects and spots opinion(s) regarding them, using a combination of templates' information with the customer reviews in two main phases. First, the Hierarchical Aspect Extraction (HAE) phase creates a hierarchy of product aspects from the template. Subsequently, the Hierarchical Aspect-based Opinion Summarization (HAOS) phase enriches this hierarchy with customers' opinions; to be shown to other potential buyers. To test the feasibility of using Deep Learning-based BERT techniques with our approach, we have created a corpus by gathering information from the top five EC websites for laptops. The experimental results show that Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) achieves better results (77.4% and 82.6% in terms of F1-measure for the first and second phase) than the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and the Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique.

Most existing ontology matching methods utilize the literal information to discover alignments. However, some literal information in ontologies may be opaque and some ontologies may not have sufficient literal information. In this paper, these ontologies are named as weak informative ontologies (WIOs) and it is challenging for existing methods to matching WIOs. On one hand, string-based and linguistic-based matching methods cannot work well for WIOs. On the other hand, some matching methods use external resources to improve their performance, but collecting and processing external resources is still time-consuming. To address this issue, this paper proposes a practical method for matching WIOs by employing the ontology structure information to discover alignments. First, the semantic subgraphs are extracted from the ontology graph to capture the precise meanings of ontology elements. Then, a new similarity propagation model is designed for matching WIOs. Meanwhile, in order to avoid meaningless propagation, the similarity propagation is constrained by semantic subgraphs and other conditions. Consequently, the similarity propagation model ensures a balance between efficiency and quality during matching. Finally, the similarity propagation model uses a few credible alignments as seeds to find more alignments, and some useful strategies are adopted to improve the performance. This matching method for WIOs has been implemented in the ontology matching system Lily. Experimental results on public OAEI benchmark datasets demonstrate that Lily significantly outperforms most of the state-of-the-art works in both WIO matching tasks and general ontology matching tasks. In particular, Lily increases the recall by a large margin, while it still obtains high precision of matching results.

Lane detection is crucial for vehicle localization which makes it the foundation for automated driving and many intelligent and advanced driving assistant systems. Available vision-based lane detection methods do not make full use of the valuable features and aggregate contextual information, especially the interrelationships between lane lines and other regions of the images in continuous frames. To fill this research gap and upgrade lane detection performance, this paper proposes a pipeline consisting of self pre-training with masked sequential autoencoders and fine-tuning with customized PolyLoss for the end-to-end neural network models using multi-continuous image frames. The masked sequential autoencoders are adopted to pre-train the neural network models with reconstructing the missing pixels from a random masked image as the objective. Then, in the fine-tuning segmentation phase where lane detection segmentation is performed, the continuous image frames are served as the inputs, and the pre-trained model weights are transferred and further updated using the backpropagation mechanism with customized PolyLoss calculating the weighted errors between the output lane detection results and the labeled ground truth. Extensive experiment results demonstrate that, with the proposed pipeline, the lane detection model performance on both normal and challenging scenes can be advanced beyond the state-of-the-art, delivering the best testing accuracy (98.38%), precision (0.937), and F1-measure (0.924) on the normal scene testing set, together with the best overall accuracy (98.36%) and precision (0.844) in the challenging scene test set, while the training time can be substantially shortened.

Text classification has become a crucial task in various fields, leading to a significant amount of research on developing automated text classification systems for national and international languages. However, there is a growing need for automated text classification systems that can handle local languages. This study aims to establish an automated classification system for Pashto text. We also evaluated two different feature extraction methods, bag of words and Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency. The study achieved an average testing accuracy rate of 94% using the MLP classification algorithm and TFIDF feature extraction method in single-label multiclass classification. Similarly, MLP+TFIDF yielded the best results, with an F1-measure of 0.81. Furthermore, the use of pre-trained language representation models, such as DistilBERT, showed promising results for Pashto text classification; however, the study highlights the importance of developing a specific tokenizer for a particular language to achieve reasonable results. NTRODUCTION The evolution of technology instigated the existence of an overwhelming number of electronic documents therefore text mining becomes a crucial task. Many businesses and individuals use machine learning techniques to classify documents accurately and quickly. On the other hand, more than 80% of organization information is in electronic format including news, email, data about users, reports, etc. (Raghavan, 2004). Text mining attracted the attention of researchers to automatically figure out the patterns of millions of electronic texts.

To enhance documentation and maintenance practices, developers conventionally establish links between related software artifacts manually. Empirical research has revealed that developers frequently overlook this practice, resulting in significant information loss. To address this issue, automatic link recovery techniques have been proposed. However, these approaches primarily focused on improving prediction accuracy on randomly-split datasets, with limited attention given to the impact of data leakage and the generalizability of the predictive models. LinkFormer seeks to address these limitations. Our approach not only preserves and improves the accuracy of existing predictions but also enhances their alignment with real-world settings and their generalizability. First, to better utilize contextual information for prediction, we employ the Transformer architecture and fine-tune multiple pre-trained models on both textual and metadata information of issues and commits. Next, to gauge the effect of time on model performance, we employ two splitting policies during both the training and testing phases; randomly- and temporally-split datasets. Finally, in pursuit of a generic model that can demonstrate high performance across a range of projects, we undertake additional fine-tuning of LinkFormer within two distinct transfer-learning settings. Our findings support that to simulate real-world scenarios effectively, researchers must maintain the temporal flow of data when training models. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that LinkFormer outperforms existing methodologies by a significant margin, achieving a 48% improvement in F1-measure within a project-based setting. Finally, the performance of LinkFormer in the cross-project setting is comparable to its average performance within the project-based scenario.

Unlike human daily activities, existing publicly available sensor datasets for work activity recognition in industrial domains are limited by difficulties in collecting realistic data as close collaboration with industrial sites is required. This also limits research on and development of AI methods for industrial applications. To address these challenges and contribute to research on machine recognition of work activities in industrial domains, in this study, we introduce a new large-scale dataset for packaging work recognition called OpenPack. OpenPack contains 53.8 hours of multimodal sensor data, including keypoints, depth images, acceleration data, and readings from IoT-enabled devices (e.g., handheld barcode scanners used in work procedures), collected from 16 distinct subjects with different levels of packaging work experience. On the basis of this dataset, we propose a neural network model designed to recognize work activities, which efficiently fuses sensor data and readings from IoT-enabled devices by processing them within different streams in a ladder-shaped architecture, and the experiment showed the effectiveness of the architecture. We believe that OpenPack will contribute to the community of action/activity recognition with sensors. OpenPack dataset is available at https://open-pack.github.io/.

Table of contents (ToC) extraction aims to extract headings of different levels in documents to better understand the outline of the contents, which can be widely used for document understanding and information retrieval. Existing works often use hand-crafted features and predefined rule-based functions to detect headings and resolve the hierarchical relationship between headings. Both the benchmark and research based on deep learning are still limited. Accordingly, in this paper, we first introduce a standard dataset, HierDoc, including image samples from 650 documents of scientific papers with their content labels. Then we propose a novel end-to-end model by using the multimodal tree decoder (MTD) for ToC as a benchmark for HierDoc. The MTD model is mainly composed of three parts, namely encoder, classifier, and decoder. The encoder fuses the multimodality features of vision, text, and layout information for each entity of the document. Then the classifier recognizes and selects the heading entities. Next, to parse the hierarchical relationship between the heading entities, a tree-structured decoder is designed. To evaluate the performance, both the metric of tree-edit-distance similarity (TEDS) and F1-Measure are adopted. Finally, our MTD approach achieves an average TEDS of 87.2% and an average F1-Measure of 88.1% on the test set of HierDoc. The code and dataset will be released at: https://github.com/Pengfei-Hu/MTD.
