Intelligent Fw Upgrade System, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

In enterprise printing environments, firmware upgrades are centrally managed by IT administrators. However, there is no intelligent mechanism that automatically triggers firmware updates in response to recurring issues—even when those issues are already resolved in newer firmware versions. This results in repeated user disruptions, prolonged support cycles, and unnecessary manual effort to coordinate firmware rollouts. A system that can automatically correlate diagnostic data with known defect resolutions and initiate safe, policy-compliant firmware upgrades is essential to reduce downtime, enhance fleet reliability, and optimize support operations.

Poetic Lines And Social Thought, Adam Neikirk

Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)

This article draws connections between formal poetry and the capacity to imagine not just the actual world, but any possible world as essentially peopled and peopled with others: both human and nonhuman intelligences. Beginning with an anecdote from the fringes of science, the author goes on to identify the presence of social thought in Romantic literary worlds, citing canonical poems that rely on the recursion of metrical lines such as “Mont Blanc” (Percy Bysshe Shelley) and “Kubla Khan” (Samuel Taylor Coleridge). A theory of poetic lines is then proffered in which poetic invention is related strongly to the idea of …

Legislation, Racialization, And The Societal Issuessoutheast Asian Americans Face, Sydney Nguyen

Silicon Valley Sociological Review

This research proposal investigates the intersection of racialization and law in the Southeast Asian diaspora in the US at a time of rising anti-Asian hate crimes and marginalizing legislation. I propose a mixed-methods approach—integrating qualitative methods such as interviews and focus groups with quantitative surveys—to determine how racial formations and state policies contribute to the social and economic stratification of these groups. To contextualize these questions, I discuss how Asian Americans are underrepresented and miscategorized in criminal justice statistics, resulting in their ongoing marginalization and the masking of specific issues they face. This work aims to make a contribution to …

An Early Review Of Generative Language Models In Automated Writing Evaluation: Advancements, Challenges, And Future Directions For Automated Essay Scoring And Feedback Generation, Yue Huang, Corey Palermo, Ruitao Liu, Yong He

Chinese/English Journal of Educational Measurement and Evaluation | 教育测量与评估双语期刊

Automated writing evaluation (AWE) has long supported assessment and instruction, yet existing systems struggle to capture deeper rhetorical and pedagogical aspects of student writing. Recent advances in generative language models (GLMs) such as GPT and Llama present new opportunities, but their effectiveness remains uncertain. This review synthesizes 29 studies on automated essay scoring and 14 on automated writing feedback generation, examining how GLMs are applied through prompting, fine-tuning, and adaptation. Findings show GLMs can approximate human scoring and deliver richer, rubric-aligned feedback, but fairness, validity, and ethical issues remain largely unaddressed. We conclude that GLMs hold promise to enhance AWE, …

Context-Aware Natural Language Processing For Malware Detection, Helen Liu, Summer Mccune, Quang Duy Tran, Fabio Di Troia, Younghee Park

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

As malware continues to evolve and cyber attacks become increasingly prevalent, it is critical to develop effective malware classification techniques for the detection and prevention of such malicious attacks. In our research, we approach malware classification from a natural language processing perspective to explore how various tokenization techniques on malware opcode features can enhance classification accuracy and combat malware obfuscation and evolution techniques with a deep learning approach, previously unaddressed by existing research. We bridge this gap by conducting extensive hyperparameter tuning experiments that examine the effects of five common tokenization methods, that is, White Space Separation, Top Single Words, …

Preparing Educators To Meet The Unique Needs Of Multilingual Learners, Anna Adamo

This project explores the need for ongoing support for secondary novice and non-ESL certified educators who teach multilingual students. Included in this project is a complete full year of professional development sessions ranging from culturally and linguistically responsive teaching practices, guidelines for accommodations and modifications, opportunities for classroom observations, and technology …

Understanding Child Noncompliance In The Early Care Setting, Melody Mann

McNair Research Journal SJSU

This study examines how teachers respond to children’s noncompliance in

early care settings. This structured observational study will focus on the

moment-to-moment interactions occurring within the preschool classroom

between both the child and teacher. It is predicted that (1) teacher’s direct

bids to children will promote greater instances of child compliance than

indirect bids, and (2) teachers’ responsive language will promote greater

instances of child compliance than restrictive language. The results of this

study will contribute to existing knowledge about the nature of teacher

child interactions in the early care settings.

Indifferentiability Analysis Of Symmetric Key Ciphers, Sayantan Paul

Doctoral Theses

The thesis presented here analyses the security of certain selected symmetric key ciphers - The ciphers analyzed are the 2 and 3-round Confusion-Diffusion Network, the 3-round Cascade Cipher with two independent keys, and the Feistel Construction with 7 and 8 rounds. Substitution Permutation Networks (SPNs) are widely used in the design of modern symmetric cryptographic building blocks. Attacks against the 2-round Confusion-Diffusion Network construction have been exhibited by Dodis et al. (2016a) in their Eurocrypt 2016 paper titled ‘Indifferentiability of Confusion-Diffusion Networks’, and by Da, Xu and Guo (2021b) in their paper ‘Sequential Indifferentiability of Confusion-Diffusion Networks’. Both attacks mentioned …

'What The World Would Be’: How Creating A Shared World Through Collaborative Roleplaying Helps Us Deal With Real-World Challenges, Pablo Muslera

Imaginings: creative practice and inquiry

A creative prose artefact and critical exegesis illustrate how roleplaying games explore community and identity. A prose dramatisation of a cooperative TTRPG (table top roleplaying game) juxtaposes the collaboratively imagined world, and the reality from which it is an escape. Themes of gender identity, isolation, precarious work and fluctuating health are explored within the timeframe of the Covid outbreak in Adelaide mid-2020, with the roleplaying session serving as a respite from insecure work and health challenges, while supporting creative agency and the expression of meaningful selfhood through collaborative play and problem-solving. This reflects a broader phenomenon of the increased popularity …
