Plant Names in Constructed Worlds by Alberto Ghia

“…It then explores the strategies used to integrate plants into fictional settings, categorizing them into four distinct types based on two variables: the plant's real or fictitious nature and whether the naming language is natural or constructed (artlang). Furthermore, the study examines the alignment of invented plant names with Brent Berlin's five principles of ethnobotanical nomenclature, focusing on morphosyntactic and semantic aspects. …”

The constructive, overreliant, and irresponsible use of artificial intelligence tools in academia: Personality correlates and implications for academic integrity by Mojtaba Elhami Athar

“…The literature review suggests that AI usage in academia may align with three general profiles—Constructive (e.g., using AI to enhance academic skills), Overreliant (e.g., heavy dependence on AI for academic tasks), and Irresponsible (e.g., using AI-generated content without verification)—each with significant implications for academic integrity. …”

A Dense Point-to-Point Alignment Method for Realistic 3D Face Morphing and Animation by Yongli Hu, Mingquan Zhou, Zhongke Wu

“…We present a new point matching method to overcome the dense point-to-point alignment of scanned 3D faces. Instead of using the rigid spatial transformation in the traditional iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm, we adopt the thin plate spline (TPS) transformation to model the deformation of different 3D faces. …”

Prob-sparse self-attention extraction of time-aligned dynamic functional connectivity for ASD diagnosis by Hongwu Chen, Fan Feng, Pengwei Lou, Ying Li, MingLi Zhang, Feng Zhao

“…Specifically, we introduce Prob-Sparse Self-Attention to selectively extract global features, and use self-attention distillation as a transition at each layer to capture local patterns and reduce dimensionality. Additionally, we construct a time-aligned DFC matrix to mitigate the time sensitivity of DFC and extend the dataset, thereby alleviating model overfitting. …”
