Evaluating Prompt Engineering Techniques for Accuracy and Confidence Elicitation in Medical LLMs
This paper investigates how prompt engineering techniques impact both accuracy and confidence elicitation in Large Language Models (LLMs) applied to medical contexts. Using a stratified dataset of Persian board exam questions across multiple specialties, we evaluated five LLMs - GPT-4o, o3-mini, Llama-3.3-70b, Llama-3.1-8b, and DeepSeek-v3 - across 156 configurations. These configurations varied in temperature settings (0.3, 0.7, 1.0), prompt styles (Chain-of-Thought, Few-Shot, Emotional, Exper…

Can Argus Judge Them All? Comparing VLMs Across Domains
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are advancing multimodal AI, yet their performance consistency across tasks is underexamined. We benchmark CLIP, BLIP, and LXMERT across diverse datasets spanning retrieval, captioning, and reasoning. Our evaluation includes task accuracy, generation quality, efficiency, and a novel Cross-Dataset Consistency (CDC) metric. CLIP shows strongest generalization (CDC: 0.92), BLIP excels on curated data, and LXMERT leads in structured reasoning. These results expose trad…

Strengthening Cybersecurity Resilience in Agriculture Through Educational Interventions: A Case Study of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska
The increasing digitization of agricultural operations has introduced new cybersecurity challenges for the farming community. This paper introduces an educational intervention called Cybersecurity Improvement Initiative for Agriculture (CIIA), which aims to strengthen cybersecurity awareness and resilience among farmers and food producers. Using a case study that focuses on farmers from the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska, the research evaluates pre- and post- intervention survey data to assess partici…
