Comparing Open-Source and Commercial LLMs for Domain-Specific Analysis and Reporting: Software Engineering Challenges and Design Trade-offs
Context: Large Language Models (LLMs) enable automation of complex natural language processing across domains, but research on domain-specific applications like Finance remains limited. Objectives: This study explored open-source and commercial LLMs for financial report analysis and commentary generation, focusing on software engineering challenges in implementation. Methods: Using Design Science Research methodology, an exploratory case study iteratively designed and evaluated two LLM-based sy…

🌍 The climate crisis demands urgent action. But which actions are best?
Decision makers face tough trade-offs:
Policy A lowers emissions at home but increases reliance on imports.
Policy B cuts emissions long-term but raises unemployment short-term.
Policy C boosts jobs now but increases emissions in the near term.
None of these choices are simple. A policy that looks good locally may increase global emissions, or its effects may depend on what other countries d…

Bioimaging device with nonmechanical design could improve eye and heart condition detection
If you've been to a routine eye exam at the optometrist's office, chances are you've had to place your chin and forehead up close to a bioimaging device.

Attention is also needed for form design
Conventional product design is a cognitively demanding process, limited by its time-consuming nature, reliance on subjective expertise, and the opaque translation of inspiration into tangible concepts. This research introduces a novel, attention-aware framework that integrates two synergistic systems: EUPHORIA, an immersive Virtual Reality environment using eye-tracking to implicitly capture a designer's aesthetic preferences, and RETINA, an agentic AI pipeline that translates these implicit pr…

TShape: Rescuing Machine Learning Models from Complex Shapelet Anomalies
Time series anomaly detection (TSAD) is critical for maintaining the reliability of modern IT infrastructures, where complex anomalies frequently arise in highly dynamic environments. In this paper, we present TShape, a novel framework designed to address the challenges in industrial time series anomaly detection. Existing methods often struggle to detect shapelet anomalies that manifest as complex shape deviations, which appear obvious to human experts but prove challenging for machine learnin…

Improving Biomedical Knowledge Graph Quality: A Community Approach
Biomedical knowledge graphs (KGs) are widely used across research and translational settings, yet their design decisions and implementation are often opaque. Unlike ontologies that more frequently adhere to established creation principles, biomedical KGs lack consistent practices for construction, documentation, and dissemination. To address this gap, we introduce a set of evaluation criteria grounded in widely accepted data standards and principles from related fields. We apply these criteria …

In a letter sent to Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon on August 25,
Democratic senators, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren,
condemned the department’s decision to remove the
‘Submit a Complaint’ button on the Office of Federal Student Aid’s (FSA) website.
Since Trump’s inauguration in January, the department has laid off approximately 1,300 people, close to half of its staff.
Many of those employees handled borrowers’ complaints, according to the senat…
