Detecting Coordination on Short-Video Platforms: The Challenge of Multimodality and Complex Similarity on TikTok
Research on online coordinated behaviour has predominantly focused on text-based social media platforms, where coordination manifests clearly through the frequent posting of identical hyperlinks or the frequent re-sharing of the same textual content by the same group of users. However, the rise of short-video platforms like TikTok introduces distinct challenges, by supporting integrated multimodality within posts and complex similarity between them. In this paper, we propose an approach to dete…

Towards Mixed-Criticality Software Architectures for Centralized HPC Platforms in Software-Defined Vehicles: A Systematic Literature Review
Centralized electrical/electronic architectures and High-Performance Computers (HPCs) are redefining automotive software development, challenging traditional microcontroller-based approaches. Ensuring real-time, safety, and scalability in software-defined vehicles necessitates reevaluating how mixed-criticality software is integrated into centralized architectures. While existing research on automotive SoftWare Architectures (SWAs) is relevant to the industry, it often lacks validation through …

It tells the story of two Korean Go players who were both considered best in the world at some point: Cho Hun-hyun and Lee Chang-ho, a master and a student who later overtook the master. Side note: Lee Chang-ho was later followed by Lee Sedol as the world's best player who was then followed by AlphaGo. 1/2
