A Functional Software Reference Architecture For Llm-Integrated Systems, Alessio Bucaioni, Martin Weyssow, Junda He, Yunbo Lyu, David Lo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The integration of large language models into software systems is transforming capabilities such as natural language understanding, decision-making, and autonomous task execution. However, the absence of a commonly accepted software reference architecture hinders systematic reasoning about their design and quality attributes. This gap makes it challenging to address critical concerns like privacy, security, modularity, and interoperability, which are increasingly important as these systems grow in complexity and societal impact. In this paper, we describe our emerging results for a preliminary functional reference architecture as a conceptual framework to address these challenges and guide the design, evaluation, and evolution of large …

The Glory Of The Islands: The Narrative Of Islands Behind The Design Of ‘Nagara Rimba Nusa’, Rebecca Victoria Simatupang, Rr. Diah Asih Purwaningrum

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

In the pursuit of creating its new capital city, the Indonesian government conducted a design competition to find alternatives that best represented the fusion between traditional and modern Indonesia. The winning design titled ‘Nagara Rimba Nusa’ employed the narrative of glorious islands as the basis of its design concepts, evoking nostalgic memories of ‘Nusantara’ in the era of the Majapahit Kingdom. This narrative became effective in capturing public attention, followed by the President of Indonesia’s decision to formalize Nusantara as the new name of the capital city. This paper delves into the design of Nagara Rimba Nusa and analyses how …

Archiving The Lumad Schools Of Mindanao, Ryan Cezar Alcarde, Michelle Mikiko Pagaran, Victoria Nolasco

Akda: The Asian Journal of Literature, Culture, Performance

During the Duterte administration, Indigenous communities in Mindanao, striving to protect their ancestral lands from destructive logging, mining, and agro-industrial plantations, were subjected to attacks by military and paramilitary groups. This resulted in the enforced shutdown of 215 Lumad schools, whose ecocritical pedagogy molded Indigenous children into land protectors and environmental stewards. In response, the Mindanao Climate Justice Resource Facility (MCJRF) and former Lumad school volunteer teachers and students, Indigenous leaders, and supporters launched the “Lumad School Memory Project” in 2023. This research and archiving initiative aims to document the rich educational practices of the forcibly closed Lumad schools, ensuring …

Enhancing Llm-Based Coding Tools Through Native Integration Of Ide-Derived Static Context, Yichen Li, Yun Peng, Yintong Huo, R. Michael Lyu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success in code completion, as evidenced by their essential roles in developing code assistant services such as Copilot. Being trained on in-file contexts, current LLMs are quite effective in completing code for single source files. However, it is challenging for them to conduct repository-level code completion for large software projects that require cross-file information. Existing research on LLM-based repository-level code completion identifies and integrates cross-file contexts, but it suffers from low accuracy and limited context length of LLMs. In this paper, we argue that Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) can provide direct, accurate and …

On Minimizing Adversarial Counterfactual Error In Adversarial Reinforcement Learning, Roman Belaire, Arunesh Sinha, Pradeep Varakantham

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) policies are highly susceptible to adversarial noise in observations, which poses significant risks in safety-critical scenarios. The challenge inherent to adversarial perturbations is that by altering the information observed by the agent, the state becomes only partially observable. Existing approaches address this by either enforcing consistent actions across nearby states or maximizing the worst-case value within adversarially perturbed observations. However, the former suffers from performance degradation when attacks succeed, while the latter tends to be overly conservative, leading to suboptimal performance in benign settings. We hypothesize that these limitations stem from their failing to account for …

Evaluating The Costs Of Alternative Malting Grains For Market Adaptation: A Case Study On Rice Malt Production In The U.S, Bernardo P. Guimaraes, Lawton L. Nalley, Scott Robert Lafontaine

Food Science Faculty Publications and Presentations

Climate change, import restrictions, and global conflicts are significantly impacting brewing raw material supply and costs. To shield the malting and brewing industries from these disruptions, alternative crops to barley must be explored. Rice presents a promising option, yielding twice as much per hectare as barley and showing greater climate resilience. Monte Carlo simulations estimated the economic and agronomic impact of using rice for malting. While rice malt is more expensive to produce, it remains an attractive gluten-free alternative. Beer brewed from 100% rice malt costs 33% more than barley-based beer but reduces acreage requirements by 50-67%. Using rice malt …

Micronutrient Applications To Enhance Olive Fruit Growth And Extra Virgin Olive Oil Chemical And Sensory Attributes, Tommaso Ganino, Martina Galaverni, Lucia Morrone, Scott Lafontaine, Rahul Sen, Annalisa Rodolfi, Ilaria Marchioni, Tina Lino, Deborah Beghe, Margherita Rodolfi

Food Science Faculty Publications and Presentations

This study investigated the effects of micronutrient treatments-Selenium and Betaine (SeBe), Boron (B), Betaine (Be), and their combinations-on the growth, physicochemical attributes, and sensory qualities of 'Nostrana di Brisighella' olives. Treatments significantly influenced fruit size, firmness, water content, oil content, and sensory characteristics. SeBe-treated plants yielded larger fruits with higher firmness and oil content, likely due to enhanced water retention and metabolic activity. Notably, B and Be treatments positively influenced sensory attributes, with B enhancing flavor complexity and Be contributing to improved fruit sweetness and aromatic profiles. The combination of B and Be resulted in a synergistic effect, yielding olives …

Mapping The Transcriptional And Epigenetic Landscape Of Organotypic Endothelial Diversity In The Developing And Adult Mouse, Manuel E Cantu Gutierrez, Matthew C Hill, Gabrielle E Largoza, William B Gillespie, James F Martin, Joshua D Wythe

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

The vascular endothelium features unique molecular and functional properties across different vessel types, such as between arteries, veins and capillaries, as well as between different organs, such as the leaky sinusoidal endothelium of the liver versus the impermeable vessels of the brain. However, the transcriptional networks governing endothelial organ specialization remain unclear. Here we profile the accessible chromatin and transcriptional landscapes of the endothelium from the mouse liver, lung, heart, kidney, brain and retina, across developmental time, to identify potential transcriptional regulators of endothelial heterogeneity. We then determine which of these putative regulators are conserved in human brain endothelial cells, …

Authentic Leadership As Predicted By The Fisher Temperament Inventory Scales, Stephanie J. Giddings

PhD in Organizational Leadership

Authentic leadership has garnered increasing attention from scholars and practitioners for its emphasis on ethical and transparent leadership practices that foster positive organizational outcomes. Despite its popularity, research into its antecedents remains underdeveloped. This study is a response to calls to examine potential psychometric predictors of authentic leadership, focusing on temperament as a biologically-rooted factor. This quantitative research involved surveying 338 U.S. leaders on temperament and authentic leadership. Temperament, as measured by the Fisher Temperament Inventory (FTI), offers a neuroscience-based perspective and resolves the potential crossover issues found in the widely studied Five-Factor Model (FFM). Using the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Peripheral neuropathies (PNs) affect over 20 million individuals in the United States, manifesting as a wide range of sensory, motor, and autonomic nerve symptoms. While various conditions such as diabetes, metabolic disorders, trauma, autoimmune disease, and chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity have been linked to PN, approximately one-third of PN cases remain idiopathic, underscoring a critical gap in our understanding of these disorders. Over the years, considerable efforts have focused on unraveling the complex molecular pathways underlying PN to advance diagnosis and treatment. Traditional methods such as linkage analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization, polymerase chain reaction, and Sanger sequencing identified initial genetic variants …

Age-Associated Proteins Explain The Role Of Medial Temporal Lobe Networks In Alzheimer’S Disease, Adam Turnbull, Yejin Kim, Kai Zhang, Xiaoqian Jiang, Zihuai He, Victor W Henderson, F Vankee Lin

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

The structural connectivity (SC) of the medial temporal lobe and its associated cortical anterior temporal and posterior medial networks (MTL-AT-PM) is linked to pathologies and memory decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, neuroimaging analyses cannot tell us how SC changes occur in AD at the molecular level and do not provide a means of intervening to slow/prevent pathology-related changes in MTL-AT-PM SC. The current study aimed to understand how and where AD-related changes occur within MTL-AT-PM using proteomics. We used a 4-step approach in 101 older adults from a local sample, aiming to understand how proteins and SC in combination …

Similarity Measure And Sine Exponential Measure Of Possibility Interval-Valued Neutrosophic Hypersoft Sets And Their Applications, Eman Hussein, Yousef Al-Qudah, Hm Jaradat, Faisal Al-Sharqi, Saja Elnajar, Ali Jaradat

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The Hypersoft set (HSS) has been created as an extension of a soft set (SS) in order to address limitations for the thought of disjoint attribute-valued sets corresponding to distinct attributes. The HSSs melted with several fuzziness structures present in literature to handle real-world scenarios with complexity and uncertainty. One such extension is the interval-valued neutrosophic hypersoft set (iv-NHSS), which focuses on the partitioning of each attribute into its attribute-valued set with these attribute-valued sets, three iv-NHS memberships degree line closed interval [0,1]. However, the iv-NHSS model is short of assessing the vague nature of parameters and sub-parameters that cause …

New Approach Single Valued Neutrosophic Sets For Teaching Quality Challenges Evaluation In College Public English Broad Impacts, Xiao Ma

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Previous research on teaching quality challenges in college public English has relied on methods that accept vague or fuzzy inputs. Single-valued neutrosophic Sets (SVNSs) are used to handle uncertain or unclear expert assessments by allowing both precise and imprecise data to be analyzed together. This approach ensures that valuable information is not lost during the evaluation process. To improve decision-making in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems, this study introduces a new integrated framework that combines the EDAS method with the MEREC method for criteria weight computation under the SVNS environment. The MEREC method is applied to determine the importance of each …

Global Gender Inequality In Industry: A Systematic Review With Neutrosophic Analysis, Jimmy Hurtado Paspuel, Raquel Vera-Ortega, Angel M. Plaza, Bernardo Hubert Ovalle Correa

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study examines gender inequalities in the worldwide sector via a systematic review employing a neutrosophic approach, focusing on income discrepancies, workplace harassment, preventative strategies, professional hurdles, and leadership representation. The neutrosophic methodology categorizes findings into components of truth, falsehood, and indeterminacy, assessing evidence via four metrics: neutrosophic score, reliability index, certainty level, and information quality index. In accordance with PRISMA 2020 standards, 282 studies published from 2020 to 2024 were examined. The findings indicate that workplace harassment exhibits the most substantial evidence (reliability=0.828, IQI=0.496), succeeded by wage disparities (reliability=0.813, IQI=0.400), whereas prevention policies reveal the greatest uncertainty (reliability=0.696).

High-Quality Development Evaluation Of Cultural And Tourism Integration Empowered By The Digital Economy Under Double Valued Neutrosophic Sets, Jun Wang, Xiong Hu

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study proposed a decision-making approach to evaluate the cultural and tourism integration empowered by the digital economy. Two methods are used in this study, such as Entropy method to compute the criteria weights and the MABAC method to rank the alternatives. These methods are used under the neutrosophic sets. Neutrosophic sets (NSs) are used to represent ambiguous, inconsistent, and unpredictable data that arise in practical issues. Indeterminacy leaning toward truth membership and indeterminacy leaning toward falsity membership are two separate components of double-valued neutrosophic sets (DVNSs), a variant of NSs. Three experts have evaluated the criteria and alternatives. Ten …

Bipolar Neutrosophic Driven Approach For Assessing The Teaching Quality Of English Language And Literature Learning Outcomes, Keyan Zhao

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The quality of teaching in English Language and Literature is a crucial factor in enhancing student learning outcomes, fostering critical thinking, and promoting linguistic and literary proficiency. Nevertheless, the procedure of assessing the quality of English teaching remains a thought-provoking task since it typically depends on individual judgments, variety in criteria, and inconsistency in human observation, resulting in intrinsic uncertainty. Bipolar Neutrosophic Sets (BNS) offer an expressive way to model ambiguity in a bipolar manner using three positive and three negative memberships. Motivated by that, we propose to explore the novel approach based on BNS to improve the judgmental process …
