Dialectal Landscape: A Sequence-to-Sequence Approach to Japanese Dialect-to-Standard Normalization

👥 Authors: Kinga Lasek, Michal Ptaszynski, Fumito Masui, Mujahid Khalifah, and Juuso Eronen

Regional dialects continue to create communication gaps in Japanese, especially in contexts such as healthcare and emergency communication.

This paper proposes a text-to-text normalization method for converting eight Japanese dialects into standard Japanese using a fine-tuned mT5-small sequence-to-sequence architecture.

The study evaluates training strategies, preprocessing methods, and model performance, showing that character-level evaluation can better capture dialect-to-standard normalization quality in Japanese text.

📝 Using Segmentation to Boost Classification Performance and Explainability in CapsNets

👥 Authors: Dominik Vranay, Maroš Hliboký, László Kovács, and Peter Sinčák

Explainability remains a key challenge in image classification, especially when using complex neural network architectures.

This paper introduces Combined-CapsNet, a novel approach that integrates segmentation masks as reconstruction targets within Capsule Neural Networks. By focusing on significant image regions, the method aims to improve both classification performance and model explainability.

The study shows that segmentation-based reconstruction can help produce clearer and more interpretable explanations while reducing model complexity, supporting the development of more transparent image classification systems.

📝 Algorithmic Insights into Human Irrationality: Machine Learning Approaches to Detecting Cognitive Biases and Motivated Reasoning

👥 Authors: Sarthak Pattnaik, Chhayank Jain, and Eugene Pinsky

This study applies machine learning methods to large-scale public opinion data to examine cognitive biases and motivated reasoning.

Drawing on dual-process theory and nudge architecture, the authors use hierarchical unsupervised clustering and supervised predictive models to detect patterns related to loss aversion, availability heuristic, and partisan motivated reasoning.

The findings offer insights into political cognition, digital engagement, and the ethical use of AI-augmented behavioral analysis in an era of affective polarization.

📝 Why Do Tree Ensemble Approximators Not Outperform the Recursive-Rule eXtraction Algorithm?

👥 Authors: Soma Onishi, Masahiro Nishimura, Ryota Fujimura, and Yoichi Hayashi

Interpretability remains a major challenge in machine learning, especially when using complex tree ensemble models.

This paper investigates why tree ensemble approximators do not necessarily outperform the Recursive-Rule eXtraction algorithm in terms of interpretability. The study proposes a metric for comparing the interpretability of different rule sets and examines how rule-based explanations differ across decision tree-based, unordered, and decision list-based approaches.

The findings highlight the importance of evaluating not only the number of rules but also their practical interpretability, especially when developing transparent and explainable AI systems.

📝 Diffusion-Based Feature Denoising and Using NNMF for Robust Brain Tumor Classification

👥 Authors: Hiba Adil Al-kharsan and Robert Rajko

Robust brain tumor classification from MRI scans remains an important challenge, especially as deep learning models can be vulnerable to adversarial perturbations.

This paper proposes a framework combining Non-Negative Matrix Factorization, lightweight CNN-based classification, and diffusion-based feature denoising to improve robustness in brain tumor classification.

The study highlights how interpretable NNMF-based representations and diffusion-based defense techniques can support more reliable medical image classification under adversarial conditions.
