VERITAS: Verification and Explanation of Realness in Images for Transparency in AI Systems
The widespread and rapid adoption of AI-generated content, created by models such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Diffusion Models, has revolutionized the digital media landscape by allowing efficient and creative content generation. However, these models also blur the difference between real images and AI-generated synthetic images, raising concerns regarding content authenticity and integrity. While many existing solutions to detect fake images focus solely on classification and…

Russian bots pose as The Insider to spread disinfo about Moldova’s President Maia Sandu, alleging she uses ...
The Kremlin-linked Matryoshka bot network, named after the famous Russian nesting doll, is spreading disinformation on Twitter and Bluesky while posing as The Insider. The false narratives in the network’s latest campaign target Moldovan President Maia Sandu and her ruling Action and Solidarity Party (PAS), as revealed by the bot-monitoring project Bot Blocker (@antibot4navalny).

Starmer's cuts to overseas aid to boost warmongering.
'Bond, a UK network for international development organisations, said it was clear the government was "deprioritising" funding "for education, gender and countries experiencing humanitarian crises such as South Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia, and surprisingly (sic) the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Sudan, which the government said would be protected".'

User Head Movement-Predictive XR in Immersive H2M Collaborations over Future Enterprise Networks
The evolution towards future generation of mobile systems and fixed wireless networks is primarily driven by the urgency to support high-bandwidth and low-latency services across various vertical sectors. This endeavor is fueled by smartphones as well as technologies like industrial internet of things, extended reality (XR), and human-to-machine (H2M) collaborations for fostering industrial and social revolutions like Industry 4.0/5.0 and Society 5.0. To ensure an ideal immersive experience and…

Distinct neurodynamics of functional brain networks in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia as revealed by EEG
Objective While Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) show some common memory deficits, these two disorders show partially overlapping complex spatiotemporal patterns of neural dynamics. The objective of this study is to characterize these patterns to better understand the general principles of neurodynamics in these conditions. Methods A comprehensive array of methods to study brain rhythms and functional brain networks are used in the study, from spectral power measures…
