CONCLUSIONS: The clinical performance of bioactive injectable resin composite and nanohybrid resin composite was similar and found to be clinically acceptable after 18 months of clinical use. →
CONCLUSION: Although the COCP has a slightly higher probability of being cost-effective at £20 000/QALY threshold, there remains considerable uncertainty, with only marginal differences in outcomes between the two treatments. The lower rates of further surgery and second-line medical treatment for women allocated to LAPs may make this option preferable for some women. →
Wireless communication is the foundation of modern systems, enabling critical applications in military, commercial, and civilian domains. Its increasing prevalence has changed daily life and operations worldwide while introducing serious security threats. Attackers exploit these vulnerabilities to intercept sensitive data, disrupt communications, or conduct targeted attacks, compromising confidentiality and functionality. While encryption is a critical… →
Large language models (LLMs) have made important advances in artificial intelligence, with superior performance on various tasks as their parameters and training data grow. GPT-3, PaLM, and Llama-3.1 perform well in many applications with billions of parameters. However, when implemented in low-power platforms, scaling LLMs poses severe difficulties regarding training and inference queries. While it… →
Sequential Recommendation systems have crucial applications in industries like e-commerce and streaming services. These systems collect and analyze the user interaction data over time to predict their preferences. However, the ID-based representations of users and items these systems rely on face critical drawbacks when transferring the same model to a new system. The new system… →
LLMs like GPT-4 and LLaMA have gained significant attention for their exceptional capabilities in natural language inference, summarization, and question-answering tasks. However, these models often generate outputs that appear credible but include inaccuracies, fabricated details, or misleading information, a phenomenon termed hallucinations. This issue presents a critical challenge for deploying LLMs in applications where precision… →
Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) have demonstrated significant advancements across various challenging multi-modal tasks over the past few years. Their ability to interpret visual information in figures, known as visual perception, relied on visual encoders and multimodal training. Even with these advancements, visual perception errors still cause many mistakes in LVLMs and impact their ability… →
Training AI models today isn’t just about designing better architectures—it’s also about managing data efficiently. Modern models require vast datasets and need those datasets delivered quickly to GPUs and other accelerators. The problem? Traditional data loading systems often lag behind, slowing everything down. These older systems rely heavily on process-based methods that struggle to keep… →
Quantum computing has long been seen as a promising avenue for advancing computational capabilities beyond those of classical systems. However, the field faces a persistent challenge: error rates. Quantum bits, or qubits, are inherently fragile, and minor disturbances can lead to computational errors. This sensitivity has limited the scalability and practical application of quantum systems.… →
