In this paper, we compare the performance of two popular NLP models, pre-train fine-tuned BERT and BiLSTM with combined CNN, in terms of the classification and recommendation tasks of research papers. We conduct the performance evaluation of these two models with research journal benchmark dataset. Performance results show that the pre-train fine-tuned BERT model is superior to CNN-BiLSTM combined model in terms of classification performance.

Service mobility in Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) paradigm is necessary to provide ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications for the erratically roaming MEC users. It involves relocation of containerized application services to a strategically selected optimal edge host. During relocation, service containers are unavailable (downtime), resulting in the interruption of ongoing user sessions and increased operational expenses for the network operator. Prolonged service downtime degrades perceived quality of experience for users, and this study handles this problem by proposing a downtime-aware Policy Learning based Capped Downtime (PLCD) service mobility strategy. It exploits Deep Actor-Critic prowess for effectively deciding when and where to relocate a containerized application service while taking user mobility and MEC server resource fluctuations into account. Efficacy of the proposed PLCD strategy is confirmed through simulation experiments, and results indicate over 90% average reduction in service downtime comparing to a baseline scheme.

While women remain underrepresented in STEM fields, our study reveals insights from an overlooked frontier: preschool classrooms. Despite decades of global initiatives aimed at increasing female participation in technology fields, gender-interest stereotypes continue to discourage girls from pursuing computer science careers. Our research challenges these barriers by implementing an innovative educational program integrating Computational Thinking (CT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with $N=114$ preschoolers, we assessed the impact of hands-on activities in algorithms, debugging, and control structures through the TechCheck questionnaire. Our findings challenge prevailing assumptions: while initial CT skills showed no gender disparity (boys M=58.8, girls M=53.95, p=,445), post-intervention results revealed girls significantly outperforming boys (girls M=66.11, boys M=51.61, $p=,022$ ). On the contrary, AI literacy assessments showed complete gender parity (p=,995). These results suggest that early childhood education could be the key to dismantling gender barriers in computer science, demonstrating that when learning environments are equitable, girls not only match but can exceed traditional performance expectations. This study opens new pathways for understanding how early educational interventions can reshape the future of gender equity in STEM fields, beginning with our youngest learners.

This paper proposes an Ising machine-based hy-brid optimization method to solve combinatorial optimization problems, which consists of an approximate formulation process, an annealing process with an Ising machine, and a correction process. The approximate formulation and correction aim to improve the performance of the Ising machine. Computational experiments were conducted on the multi-dimensional knapsack problem (MKP) using an Ising machine. We compare the results with those of the proposed method and the conventional method and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In this paper, a new hybrid adaptive nonlinear filter (HANF) scheme with variable step sizes (VSS) is proposed for solar radiation prediction. Our methodology consists of a Volterra filter and a functional link artificial neural network (FLANN) filter. The Volterra filter with the first- and second-order kernels is included, that is capable of expressing both linearity and nonlinearity. The FLANN filter can handle the nonlinearity that may be expressed by higher-order exponential terms that the Volterra filter with a limited number of kernels is unable to deal with. The VSSs are introduced in the two filters to allow the HANF to enjoy desirable tracking capability such that the time-varying nonlinearity underlying the nonlinear phenomena can be detected and tracked. The proposed VSS-HANF is applied to a real hourly solar radiation time sequence to confirm its improved prediction performance as compared to its counterpart with fixed step sizes.

The use of electric vehicles (EV) has exponentially grown within the past couple of years and it is expected to increase by 2050 causing a drastic increase in residential demand. Due to such an increase in demand, many existing distribution transformers servicing these residential homes may need either replacement or upgrade in their sizes to account for the home charging of these EVs. Choosing the correct economic transformer’s size helps electric utilities to benefit from such a significant capital investment. In this paper, a Smart Transformer Sizing Tool (STST) was developed to provide the correct economic size of transformers that ensure no overload as well as maintain the voltage quality. The results demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed tool are presented and conclusions are drawn.
