Abstract Decision trees rank among the most popular classification tools, employed in practical applications due to their known efficiency. A Nash equilibrium-based decision tree splits node data using the Nash equilibrium concept. Boosting is a technique that is used to enhance the performance of a classifier by allowing an in-depth exploration of the data.…
Abstract Context: Entity resolution (ER) plays a pivotal role in data management by determining whether multiple records correspond to the same real-world entity. Because of its critical importance across domains such as healthcare, finance, and machine learning and its long research history designing and implementing ER systems remains challenging in practice due to the…
Abstract Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality among women worldwide, making early detection crucial for improving survival rates. Deep learning-based approaches have shown remarkable potential in automating tumor detection from mammographic images; however, their effectiveness largely depends on the choice of data augmentation strategies and model architecture. In this study,…
Abstract Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide, with early detection playing an essential role in improving survival rates. Detection of breast abnormalities at an early stage is best performed using mammography. This paper presents a new approach integrating advanced preprocessing techniques based on Cellular Automaton. It was applied on…
Abstract Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most frequent neoplasia in the male population. According to the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP), PCa can be divided into two major groups, based on their prognosis and treatment options. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) holds a central role in PCa assessment; however, it does not…
Abstract Automatic diacritic restoration is crucial for text processing in languages with rich diacritical marks, such as Romanian. This study evaluates the performance of several large language models (LLMs) in restoring diacritics in Romanian texts. Using a comprehensive corpus, we tested models including OpenAI's GPT-3.5, GPT-4, GPT-4o, Google's Gemini 1.0 Pro, Meta's Llama 2…
Abstract This study presents our findings on estimating the horizontal rotation angle (yaw) of traffic signs from 2D images using deep learning techniques. The aim is to introduce novel approaches for accurately estimating a traffic sign’s orientation, with applications in automatic map generation. The primary goal is to associate a traffic sign with a…
Abstract This paper presents a method for assessing two cracks in simply supported beams by identifying their locations and severities (depths). Our method is based on applying the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm with the measured natural frequencies for several bending vibration modes of an intact and cracked beam. We are using calculated relative…
Abstract The identification of elements in user interfaces is a problem that can generate great interest in current times due to the significant interaction between users and machines. Digital technologies are increasingly used to carry out almost any daily task. Computer vision can be helpful in different applications, such as accessibility, testing, or automatic…
Abstract Established research directions yield concrete outcomes on the benefits of using software metrics in software development processes, such as notable correlations between software metric values and various quality attributes of software systems or defect prediction. A discrepancy exists between academic proposals and actual practices used in software development, influenced by factors like budget…
