Bias detection and mitigation is an active area of research in machine learning. This work extends previous research done by the authors Van Busum and Fang (Proceedings of the 38th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied computing, 2023) to provide a rigorous and more complete analysis of the bias found in AI predictive models. Admissions data spanning six years was used to create an AI model to determine whether a given student would be directly admitted into the School of science under various scenarios at a large urban research university. During this time, submission of standardized test scores as part of a student’s application became optional which led to interesting questions about the impact of standardized test scores on admission decisions. We developed and analyzed AI models to understand which variables are important in admissions decisions, and how the decision to exclude test scores affects the demographics of the students who are admitted. We then evaluated the predictive models to detect and analyze biases these models may carry with respect to three variables chosen to represent sensitive populations: gender, race, and whether a student was the first in his/her family to attend college. We also extended our analysis to show that the biases detected were persistent. Finally, we included several fairness metrics in our analysis and discussed the uses and limitations of these metrics. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature 2024.

Preservation of the crops depends on early and accurate detection of pests on crops as they cause several diseases decreasing crop production and quality. Several deep-learning techniques have been applied to overcome the issue of pest detection on crops. We have developed the YOLOCSP-PEST model for Pest localization and classification. With the Cross Stage Partial Network (CSPNET) backbone, the proposed model is a modified version of You Only Look Once Version 7 (YOLOv7) that is intended primarily for pest localization and classification. Our proposed model gives exceptionally good results under conditions that are very challenging for any other comparable models especially conditions where we have issues with the luminance and the orientation of the images. It helps farmers working out on their crops in distant areas to determine any infestation quickly and accurately on their crops which helps in the quality and quantity of the production yield. The model has been trained and tested on 2 datasets namely the IP102 data set and a local crop data set on both of which it has shown exceptional results. It gave us a mean average precision (mAP) of 88.40% along with a precision of 85.55% and a recall of 84.25% on the IP102 dataset meanwhile giving a mAP of 97.18% on the local data set along with a recall of 94.88% and a precision of 97.50%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed model is very effective in detecting real-life scenarios and can help in the production of crops improving the yield quality and quantity at the same time.

Virtual Reality (VR) has accelerated its prevalent adoption in emerging metaverse applications, but it is not a fundamentally new technology. On the one hand, most VR operating systems (OS) are based on off-the-shelf mobile OS (e.g., Android OS). As a result, VR apps also inevitably inherit privacy and security deficiencies from conventional mobile apps. On the other hand, in contrast to traditional mobile apps, VR apps can achieve an immersive experience via diverse VR devices, such as head-mounted displays, body sensors, and controllers. However, achieving this requires the extensive collection of privacy-sensitive human biometrics (e.g., hand-tracking and face-tracking data). Moreover, VR apps have been typically implemented by 3D gaming engines (e.g., Unity), which also contain intrinsic security vulnerabilities. Inappropriate use of these technologies may incur privacy leaks and security vulnerabilities although these issues have not received significant attention compared to the proliferation of diverse VR apps. In this paper, we develop a security and privacy assessment tool, namely the VR-SP detector for VR apps. The VR-SP detector has integrated program static analysis tools and privacy-policy analysis methods. Using the VR-SP detector, we conduct a comprehensive empirical study on 900 popular VR apps. We obtain the original apps from the popular SideQuest app store and extract Android PacKage (APK) files via the Meta Quest 2 device. We evaluate the security vulnerabilities and privacy data leaks of these VR apps through VR app analysis, taint analysis, privacy policy analysis, and user review analysis. We find that a number of security vulnerabilities and privacy leaks widely exist in VR apps. Moreover, our results also reveal conflicting representations in the privacy policies of these apps and inconsistencies of the actual data collection with the privacy-policy statements of the apps. Further, user reviews also indicate their privacy concerns about rele

In today's software testing community, quality assessment remains critical, with mutation testing standing as a cornerstone technique for evaluating the effectiveness of test cases. This method involves introducing faulty code, or mutants, into the program to assess the quality of the test suite and other testing methods. However, mutation testing faces challenges such as the generation of numerous mutants, the presence of equivalent mutants that are difficult to detect through testing, and the lack of realistic mutant creation. Literature reviews indicate significant efforts to address these issues through formal solutions and heuristic methods. Recent optimization-based methods are now recognized as cost-effective result in an optimized solution. Hence, to overcome these limitations, this study introduces SQUMUTH, a novel approach for high-order mutant generation based on the Squirrel Search Algorithm (SSA). Inspired by the foraging behavior of squirrels, SSA offers a promising solution for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of mutation testing. Experimental evaluations on eight well-known Java benchmark programs demonstrate that SQUMUTH outperforms existing methods. Comparative analyses of mutation scores and the rates of realistic mutants consistently show its better performance across all subject programs compared to other state-of-the-art methods such as Social Group Optimization, Binary Genetic Algorithm, and random testing. The experimental results underscore its effectiveness in generating more realistic mutants. The experimental results indicated that the proposed approach has the potential to advance software testing by improving the cost-effectiveness of mutation analysis and the quality of software systems. © The Author(s) 2025.

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common and severe eye complication of diabetes, and it can cause vision loss or even blindness due to retina damage. Automatic and faster detection of various DR stages is crucial and can benefit both patients and ophthalmologists. With the ubiquity of measurement devices and growing processing power, cyber-physical characterization is becoming an enabler technology in many disciplines. This paper proposes a cyber-physical system (CPS) framework that will aid clinicians in establishing an early diagnosis of DR. Particularly;we present a component-based CPS architecture to use a deep learning-based predictive model deployed on the cloud for effective DR diagnosis and incorporate medical devices. To this end, a deep learning-based explainable CNN fusion model has been introduced in the proposed framework for automatic screening and interpretation of DR stages using digital fundus images. We extract salient features using various fine-tuned CNN models in conjunction with an attention network, and we use a locally connected layer to calculate the weighted contribution of these networks. We measure the performance of our approach using a public dataset comprising fundus images of five different categories. Experimental results demonstrate the proposed approach's effectiveness for faster and more accurate detection of various DR stages. © 2013 IEEE.

This research investigates the perceptions of cybersecurity among older adults in Malaysia, aged 60 years and above, who are reliant on technology for basic activities. The data from 331 participants showed that 30.8% were online for 4-8 hours daily, while 3.3% were completely disconnected. Interestingly, more than half of the respondents were unaware of cybersecurity threats, especially malware and ransomware, which put their data in jeopardy. While there is some awareness related to unauthorized access and computer fraud, knowledge gaps remain significant, and effective educational interventions are thus needed. Informal, self-directed learning appears to be a widespread way of acquiring skills in this age group, often supplemented by community workshops and peer networks. Given that almost half of the older adults spend considerable time online, improving their digital skills in tandem with their support systems is an important goal for enhancing their online experiences. It indicates the need for a twin approach: enhancing cybersecurity awareness with specialized educational programs, alongside developing flexible opportunities for informal learning. Educational institutions and relevant policies are encouraged to prioritize building hands-on, specific cybersecurity education for seniors. Also, user interface design considering cybersecurity-related issues can make using the technological environment as user-friendly and secure as possible. These strategies will contribute to creating an inclusive digital society, where older adults are confident and safe in using digital technologies while continuously contributing to their personal and professional development. © 2025 IEEE.

MLPFormer: MLP-integrated transformer for colorectal histopathology whole slide image segmentation

引用

Neural computing and Applications 2025年第6期37卷 4651-4661页

Colorectal intraepithelial neoplasia is a precancerous lesion of colorectal cancer, which is mainly diagnosed using pathological images. According to the characteristics of lesions, precancerous lesions can be classified into four different grades, i.e., background, normal, low and high level. However, due to the continuity of lesion development, tissue in different stages has high similarity. Recently, visual transformers have achieved impressive results in different visual tasks, due to their capacity of capturing long-range dependencies. However, due to computational cost, transformer cannot well extract detailed feature, which is important for lesion grading. To accurately segment pathological tissues with high similarity, in this work, we embed the multi-head MLP mixer module in the transformer network to extract cell and edge information. Furthermore, we propose a hierarchical MLP decoder to facilitate multi-scale feature fusion. The proposed transformer, namely MLPFormer, achieves remarkable results against competitive baselines on the Histo-CRC Biopsy dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that MLPFormer significantly outperforms the competitive baselines, i.e., a 3% dice improvement is achieved over the SegFormer series. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature 2024.
