Procedural modeling is used to generate virtual content in organized layouts of exterior and interior elements. There is a large number of existing layout generation methods, and newer approaches propose the generation of multiple layout types within the same generation session. This introduces additional constraints when manually created layout elements need to be combined with the automatically generated content. Existing approaches are either designed to work with existing elements for a single layout type, or require a high amount of manual work for adding existing elements within multiple layouts. This paper presents a method that enables the application of existing subdivision methods on multiple layout types by inserting existing content into the generation result. This method can generate test cases by creating variations of partially generated layouts for procedural modeling methods that can work with existing content.

As NNs (Neural Networks) permeate various scientific and industrial domains, understanding the universality and reusability of their representations becomes crucial. At their core, these networks create intermediate neural representations, indicated as latent spaces, of the input data and subsequently leverage them to perform specific downstream tasks. This dissertation focuses on the universality and reusability of neural representations. Do the latent representations crafted by a NN remain exclusive to a particular trained instance, or can they generalize across models, adapting to factors such as randomness during training, model architecture, or even data domain? This adaptive quality introduces the notion of Latent Communication – a phenomenon that describes when representations can be unified or reused across neural spaces. A salient observation from our research is the emergence of similarities in latent representations, even when these originate from distinct or seemingly unrelated NNs. By exploiting a partial correspondence between the two data distributions that establishes a semantic link, we found that these representations can either be projected into a universal representation (Moschella*, Maiorca*, et al., 2023), coined as Relative Representation, or be directly translated from one space to another (Maiorca* et al., 2023). Intriguingly, this holds even when the transformation relating the spaces is unknown (Cannistraci, Moschella, Fumero, et al., 2024) and when the semantic bridge between them is minimal (Cannistraci, Moschella, Maiorca, et al., 2023). Latent Communication allows for a bridge between independently trained NN, irrespective of their training regimen, architecture, or the data modality they were trained on – as long as the data semantic content stays the same (e.g., images and their captions). This holds true for both generation, classification and retrieval downstream tasks;in supervised, weakly supervised, and unsupervised settings;and

Software development is implemented in several key phases, one of which is software testing. Software testing consists of selecting techniques for the purpose of finding software defects and bugs in the process of writing code. There are several ways and approaches that lead us to that purpose, with the goal of selecting the most adequate method in terms of cost, complexity, and efficiency. In this paper, we will take a deeper dive into mutation testing techniques. Mutation testing techniques are fault-based and focus more on test structures than the input data, which is considered the testing start point. The basic concept of mutation testing consists of a few steps, which will be covered in this paper, and metrics that measure how effective the tests really are. With a few code examples, we will show why code coverage, which is mostly taken as a measure while testing, is sometimes not the most reliable source and does not give a full picture when talking about the quality of written tests.

Artificial intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning are increasingly making significant contributions to the field of medicine. Individual patient conditions, disease localization, and various influencing factors underscore the complexity of disease diagnosis and treatment planning. Introducing new technologies can revolutionize medical diagnostics, facilitating swift and accurate assessments. Among the noninvasive diagnostic methods, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) stands out, particularly in tumor diagnosis. UNet, renowned for its effectiveness in medical image analysis, serves as a robust model for semantic segmentation, as does DeepLabV3+. However, these models are inherently complex, and their inference process can be time-consuming. By leveraging the OpenVINO toolkit, the inference process is significantly reduced. In this study, nearly a 2-fold acceleration is achieved in inference time with the DeepLabV3+ model and a roughly 1.2-fold improvement with the UNet model on CPU. Moreover, when employing GPU with FP16 precision, the acceleration reached almost 2.5fold for UNet and nearly 3-fold for DeepLabV3+, showcasing the substantial performance enhancements attainable through optimized hardware utilization.

This study scrutinizes five years of Sarajevo’s Air Quality Index (AQI) data using diverse machine learning models — Fourier autoregressive integrated moving average (Fourier ARIMA), Prophet, and Long short-term memory (LSTM)—to forecast AQI levels. Focusing on various prediction frames, we evaluate model performances and identify optimal strategies for different temporal granularities. Our research unveils subtle insights into each model’s efficacy, shedding light on their strengths and limitations in predicting AQI across varied timeframes. This research presents a robust framework for automatic optimization of AQI predictions, emphasizing the influence of temporal granularity on prediction accuracy, automatically selecting the most efficient models and parameters. These insights hold significant implications for data-driven decision-making in urban air quality control, paving the way for proactive and targeted interventions to improve air quality in Sarajevo and similar urban environments.
