This study chronicles the drama played out in universities across the world. Lecturers from varying disciplines and backgrounds attempt to teach subjects using diverse methodologies or no methodology at all. Academia is presently divided into two distinct camps. Those who are in favour of pedagogical training regardless of discipline and believe it enhances and enriches the teaching and learning process and those who simply are not in favour of it. The alarming result has been that in each university, there is no standardization of modules taught or learnt or indeed no formal system of how a module should be delivered to aid module authors and leaders with no requisite pedagogical training. This has increasingly led to falling grades, low retention rates and much disappointment on the part of the raison d' etre of the university, its valued clients - the students. This study seeks to outline the problem, recommend a solution and propose more extensive utilisation of existing technology that could help to alleviate the problem in some way.

For the diagnostics and health management of lithium-ion batteries, numerous models have been developed to understand their degradation characteristics. These models typically fall into two categories:data-driven models and physical models, each offering unique advantages but also facing ***-informed neural networks(PINNs) provide a robust framework to integrate data-driven models with physical principles, ensuring consistency with underlying physics while enabling generalization across diverse operational conditions. This study introduces a PINN-based approach to reconstruct open circuit voltage(OCV) curves and estimate key ageing parameters at both the cell and electrode *** parameters include available capacity, electrode capacities, and lithium inventory capacity. The proposed method integrates OCV reconstruction models as functional components into convolutional neural networks(CNNs) and is validated using a public dataset. The results reveal that the estimated ageing parameters closely align with those obtained through offline OCV tests, with errors in reconstructed OCV curves remaining within 15 mV. This demonstrates the ability of the method to deliver fast and accurate degradation diagnostics at the electrode level, advancing the potential for precise and efficient battery health management.

Software security poses substantial risks to our society because software has become part of our life. Numerous techniques have been proposed to resolve or mitigate the impact of software security issues. Among them, software testing and analysis are two of the critical methods, which significantly benefit from the advancements in deep learning technologies. Due to the successful use of deep learning in software security, recently,researchers have explored the potential of using large language models(LLMs) in this area. In this paper, we systematically review the results focusing on LLMs in software security. We analyze the topics of fuzzing, unit test, program repair, bug reproduction, data-driven bug detection, and bug triage. We deconstruct these techniques into several stages and analyze how LLMs can be used in the stages. We also discuss the future directions of using LLMs in software security, including the future directions for the existing use of LLMs and extensions from conventional deep learning research.

Federated recommender systems(FedRecs) have garnered increasing attention recently, thanks to their privacypreserving benefits. However, the decentralized and open characteristics of current FedRecs present at least two ***, the performance of FedRecs is compromised due to highly sparse on-device data for each client. Second, the system's robustness is undermined by the vulnerability to model poisoning attacks launched by malicious users. In this paper, we introduce a novel contrastive learning framework designed to fully leverage the client's sparse data through embedding augmentation, referred to as CL4FedRec. Unlike previous contrastive learning approaches in FedRecs that necessitate clients to share their private parameters, our CL4FedRec aligns with the basic FedRec learning protocol, ensuring compatibility with most existing FedRec implementations. We then evaluate the robustness of FedRecs equipped with CL4FedRec by subjecting it to several state-of-the-art model poisoning attacks. Surprisingly, our observations reveal that contrastive learning tends to exacerbate the vulnerability of FedRecs to these attacks. This is attributed to the enhanced embedding uniformity, making the polluted target item embedding easily proximate to popular items. Based on this insight, we propose an enhanced and robust version of CL4FedRec(rCL4FedRec) by introducing a regularizer to maintain the distance among item embeddings with different popularity levels. Extensive experiments conducted on four commonly used recommendation datasets demonstrate that rCL4FedRec significantly enhances both the model's performance and the robustness of FedRecs.
