Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8772: UAV-Based Transmission Tower Inspection Using Hierarchical Multitask Learning Under Heterogeneous Supervision
52+ min ago (394+ words) Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspection of transmission towers requires joint analysis of corridor geometry, tower components, and localized defects, whereas available datasets provide incompatible annotations at different scales. Tower-HMT is a hierarchical multitask network that shares a ConvNeXt-Tiny encoder and…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8736: Error-Profile-Conditioned Augmentation for Chinese L2 Writing Assessment: Evaluating Synthetic Tail Data Under Data Scarcity
1+ day, 19+ min ago (445+ words) Automated essay scoring models trained on imbalanced examination data often compress predictions toward the score mean, disproportionately harming low-proficiency responses. We investigate whether synthetic tail data can mitigate this failure in Chinese second-language writing assessment. Using 10,067 HSK writing samples, we…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8722: SciRep: A Ranking-Aware Representation Model for Scientific Text
1+ day, 5+ hour ago (319+ words) Existing scientific text representation methods based on contrastive learning typically adopt a binary classification paradigm of positive and negative samples, which struggles to capture the complex, hierarchical semantic similarity relationships inherent in scientific texts. To address this, we propose SciRep,…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8717: A Single-Camera System for Teacher Visual Attention Proxy Analytics and Rule-Based Teaching Behavior Segmentation in Classroom Videos
1+ day, 5+ hour ago (449+ words) Scalable classroom process evidence can support teacher reflection and expert review, but manual observation is labor-intensive and direct eye tracking is often too intrusive for routine classroom use. This paper presents a single-camera classroom video analytics system that converts ordinary…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8659: A Meta-Learning-Based Aggregation Strategy for Heterogeneous Federated Learning Scenarios
3+ day, 3+ hour ago (486+ words) Federated learning relies on aggregation schemes that assume all participants train models with identical architectures and a common parameter initialization. While this enables parameter-averaging strategies such as Federated Averaging, it also imposes a strong inductive bias by constraining local models…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8660: Classroom Behavior Detection and Evaluation Method Based on Deep Learning Algorithms
3+ day, 3+ hour ago (370+ words) With the rapid development of intelligent teaching technologies, automatic classroom behavior detection can provide objective visual evidence for classroom participation analysis and teaching feedback. However, real classroom scenes commonly involve dense student distributions, large scale variations between front and rear…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8654: Multimodal Interest-Shifting Sequence Recommendation with Offline Policy Optimization and Drift-Aware Representation Learning
3+ day, 4+ hour ago (447+ words) Interest changes complicate sequential recommendation when interaction histories are combined with item content. We evaluate MM-DRLSR on four public Amazon and Yelp benchmarks. The model integrates category-overlap drift supervision, history-derived drift representations, lightweight identifier–image–text fusion, candidate-conditioned scoring, and…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8650: Geometry-Enhanced Point–Voxel Fusion with Active Learning for Label-Efficient Point Cloud Semantic Segmentation
3+ day, 5+ hour ago (425+ words) Point cloud semantic segmentation is fundamental for 3D scene understanding and has been widely used in autonomous driving and infrastructure inspection applications. However, its performance is often limited by insufficient representation of local geometric structures and the high cost of point-wise…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8636: AI-Related Competence, Innovation, Perceived Threats, Ethics, and Job Satisfaction: A Comparative Study of Pre-Service and In-Service Teachers
4+ day, 1+ hour ago (428+ words) Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a key driver of transformation in educational contexts, influencing both teaching and learning processes as well as the digital competencies required by teachers and students. In this context, understanding how AI is perceived, used, and…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8630: Decoupled Attention and Character–Word Mask for Chinese Nested Named Entity Recognition
4+ day, 6+ hour ago (373+ words) Vocabulary integration is an effective approach for improving named entity recognition performance. However, existing methods exhibit insufficient decoupling capability in modeling the position and content between characters and words, and under static matching mechanisms, models tend to memorize fixed character…...
