Data Augmentation for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Leveraging ERNIE Language Models using Artificial Intelligence
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a proven approach for addressing the irrational thought patterns associated with mental health disorders, but its effectiveness relies on accurately identifying cognitive pathways to provide targeted treatment. In today's digital age, individuals often express negative emotions on social media, where they may reveal cognitive distortions, and in severe cases, exhibit suicidal tendencies. However, there is a significant gap in methodologies designed to analy…

RoSMM: A Robust and Secure Multi-Modal Watermarking Framework for Diffusion Models
Current image watermarking technologies are predominantly categorized into text watermarking techniques and image steganography; however, few methods can simultaneously handle text and image-based watermark data, which limits their applicability in complex digital environments. This paper introduces an innovative multi-modal watermarking approach, drawing on the concept of vector discretization in encoder-based vector quantization. By constructing adjacency matrices, the proposed method enables…

"As with many digital [vibe coding] doesn't fully stand up to scrutiny but show a deep misunderstanding of how software is made, the potential externalities (and internalities) software brings and a disdain for experience and embodied knowledge."

On "Vibe Coding"
The hype about the potentials (it’s always future potential, never real current use) of AI has discarded its last cycle (“reasoning models”/”deep research”, both terms being factually untrue and deeply deceiving at best) and moved to a new double whammy of “agentic AI” and “Vibe Coding”. Now “agentic AI” basically just means that some LLM […]

Bi-SamplerZ: A Hardware-Efficient Gaussian Sampler Architecture for Quantum-Resistant Falcon Signatures
FALCON is a standardized quantum-resistant digital signature scheme that offers advantages over other schemes, but features more complex signature generation process. This paper presents Bi-Samplerz, a fully hardware-implemented, high-efficiency dual-path discrete Gaussian sampler designed to accelerate Falcon signature generation. Observing that the SamplerZ subroutine is consistently invoked in pairs during each signature generation, we propose a dual-datapath architecture capable of generati…

Computing, Complexity and Degrowth : Systemic Considerations for Digital De-escalation
Research on digital degrowth predominantly critiques digital expansion or presents alternative digital practices. Yet, analyzing the link between digital technologies and complexity is crucial to overcome systemic obstacles hindering digital de-escalation. This article presents the different types of links between complexity and computing observed in the literature: the infrastructural complexity inherent in digital technologies, the socio-political complexity induced by them, and finally, the …

Methodology for intelligent injection point location based on geometric algorithms and discrete topologies for virtual digital twin environments
This article presents an innovative methodology for locating injection points in injection-molded parts using intelligent models with geometric algorithms for discrete topologies. The first algorithm calculates the center of mass of the discrete model based on the center of mass of each triangular facet in the system, ensuring uniform molten plastic distribution during mold cavity filling. Two sub-algorithms intelligently evaluate the geometry and optimal injection point location. The first sub…

Amazon degradation increases by 163% in two years, while deforestation falls by 54% in the same period
The accelerated degradation of the Brazilian Amazon, primarily due to fires, has overshadowed the significant reduction in deforestation from 2022 to 2024. This "negative balance" in protecting the biome jeopardizes the international goals for combating the climate crisis that have been assumed by the country, which is hosting the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) this year.
