Abstract: Abstract The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed global business, aiding operational efficiency and innovation. It utilizes machine learning and big data analytics, driving predictive market trends and strategic decision‐making. However, despite the rising discussion and accessibility of AI tools, understanding its impact on international business remains limited. This article explores AI's potential in international business strategies, practices, and activities. To address this aim, we reviewed 37 articles in the existing literature to critically explore AI within the context of international business. More specifically, we explored how AI can be applied to innovation approaches in international business, international market selection, entry modes, foreign exchange, international human resource management, international supply chains, managing across cultures, and more topics. AI has necessitated changes in workplace configurations and the need for organizational and employee adjustments in response to this technology. As a result of the foregoing issues on AI integration within international business, our analysis provided an exploratory discussion around its use, challenges, managerial implications, and suggested areas requiring future studies.

Abstract: Abstract Extreme multi-label text classification (XMTC) annotates related labels for unknown text from large-scale label sets. Transformer-based methods have become the dominant approach for solving the XMTC task due to their effective text representation capabilities. However, the existing Transformer-based methods fail to effectively exploit the correlation between labels in the XMTC task. To address this shortcoming, we propose a novel model called TLC-XML, i.e., a Transformer with label correlation for extreme multi-label text classification. TLC-XML comprises three modules: Partition, Matcher and Ranker. In the Partition module, we exploit the semantic and co-occurrence information of labels to construct the label correlation graph, and further partition the strongly correlated labels into the same cluster. In the Matcher module, we propose cluster correlation learning, which uses the graph convolutional network (GCN) to extract the correlation between clusters. We then introduce these valuable correlations into the classifier to match related clusters. In the Ranker module, we propose label interaction learning, which aggregates the raw label prediction with the information of the neighboring labels. The experimental results on benchmark datasets show that TLC-XML significantly outperforms state-of-the-art XMTC methods.

Abstract: In order to effectively improve the efficiency of surface garbage cleaning robot, an intelligent control algorithm was applied to plan the robot path. To do so, an improved immune particle swarm algorithm was developed based on the robot model. This algorithm introduced the adaptive information dynamic adjustment strategy to dynamically adjust the main link indices, which improved the global searchability and convergence of particles and facilitated the quick identification of the optimal path by the robot. Through comparative simulation experiments with the particle swarm optimization algorithm, genetic algorithm, and immune particle swarm optimization algorithm, it was found that the robot based on the Adaptive Immune Particle Swarm Optimization (AIPSO) algorithm had the shortest planning path and search time, the lowest energy consumption, and the highest efficiency. A robot prototype platform was built. Compared to other algorithms, the efficiency of the robot space search based on the AIPSO algorithm was the highest, the search time was the shortest, and the energy consumption was also the lowest. Especially in the complex level 4 wave water environment, the AIPSO algorithm had the best adaptability and robustness, and the robot had the highest working efficiency and comprehensive performance. The experimental results revealed that the AIPSO algorithm effectively improved the path search and garbage cleaning efficiency of the robots and reduced the working time, which further verified the reliability and accuracy of the designed algorithm.

Abstract: With the rapid advancements in 3D game technology, workload characterization has become crucial for each new generation of games. The increased complexity of scenes in 3D games allows for stunning real-time visual quality. However, handling such workloads results in significant power consumption over the GPU rendering pipeline. The focus of the current paper is low power optimization, targeting texture memory, geometry engine, pixel, and rasterization, as these components are significant contributors to the power consumption of a typical GPU. The proposed methodology integrates the Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS) technique, adjusting voltage and frequency based on the workload analysis of frame rates with respect to the scenes of 3D games. Frame rates of 60 fps and 30 fps are set up to understand and manage the workload on frames. Furthermore, for comparative analysis, various frame-level power analysis schemes such as No DVFS implemented, Frame History Method, Frame Signature Method, and Tiled History-based are introduced. The proposed scheme consistently surpasses these frame-level schemes, with fewer missed deadlines, while having the lowest energy consumption per frame rate. The implementation resulted in a remarkable 65% improvement in quality, indicated by a reduction in deadline misses, along with a substantial 60% energy saving.

Abstract: Digital pathology (DP) has begun to play a key role in the evaluation of liver specimens. Recent studies have shown that a workflow that combines DP and artificial intelligence (AI) applied to histopathology has potential value in supporting the diagnosis, treatment evaluation, and prognosis prediction of liver diseases. Here, we provide a systematic review of the use of this workflow in the field of hepatology. Based on the PRISMA 2020 criteria, a search of the PubMed, SCOPUS, and Embase electronic databases was conducted, applying inclusion/exclusion filters. The articles were evaluated by two independent reviewers, who extracted the specifications and objectives of each study, the AI tools used, and the results obtained. From the 266 initial records identified, 25 eligible studies were selected, mainly conducted on human liver tissues. Most of the studies were performed using whole-slide imaging systems for imaging acquisition and applying different machine learning and deep learning methods for image pre-processing, segmentation, feature extractions, and classification. Of note, most of the studies selected demonstrated good performance as classifiers of liver histological images compared to pathologist annotations. Promising results to date bode well for the not-too-distant inclusion of these techniques in clinical practice.

Abstract: Abstract The present era is at the peak of technological advancement in image and video processing techniques, with user-friendly accessible tools/techniques. This immersive technology development makes video forensics enormously challenging. Specifically, the passive approaches to object-based forgeries in videos are crucial for legal and judicial matters. Hence, to ensure the integrity of the videos, a scientific, statistical and passive investigation of videos is required to maintain the spatial and temporal information content. This paper aims to develop a passive approach for digging out the forgery traces by applying the motion residue windowing technique for object removal forgery in surveillance videos. The novel max averaging windowing techniques improve visual imprints of the object removal forgery in the videos from the existing methods in the literature. A deep learning approach is the next step for achieving forgery detection in surveillance videos. The proposed lightweight depth-separable layer-optimized CNN has fast execution speed, optimized in terms of parameters without compromising the desired accuracy. This network is trained at a frame level with 98.60% testing accuracy, followed by a pipeline architecture of the proposed model for detection of forgery at video level with 99.01% accuracy. The suggested model works better than current models regarding post-processing operations, compression rates, forged video detection accuracy, precision, recall and F1 score.

Abstract: Since the turn of the millennium, virtual reality (VR) has become a popular global research topic. Educators are eager to employ VR for interactive learning, potentially enhancing student engagement and efficiency. Researchers have conducted numerous trials, with students across disciplines achieving notable results, affirming VR's effectiveness, even in art and design education. The field of product design, in particular, requires high-dimensional interaction throughout the learning process, making it a promising application area for VR technology. This study takes art and design majors as the analysis object and aims to explore the development trend of VR technology in education related to product design courses. In addition, this study conducted a systematic review of relevant literature over the past five years to assess the current state of VR technology in arts education, the types of VR used in teaching, and the impact of the technology on the student population. The results reveal that, despite the growing interest in VR technology, there have been relatively few cases of educators applying this technology to product design education. Moreover, immersive VR technology in art and design classrooms is still in the new stage. Consequently, researchers have ample scope for further exploring and expanding this field.

Abstract: Regional mineral exploration is based on geochemical data of which the nature is compositional and frequently involves a large number of components. Consequently, it mostly needs multivariate dimension reduction methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) and its various robust versions. The application of such methods, defined for real random variables, require the data to be represented in coordinates supported in the real space. However, a common problem in exploration geochemistry is to select the appropriate representation. Using centered (clr) and isometric (ilr) logratio coordinates to discriminate anomalous zones for orogeny gold exploration throughout Sweden revealed that there is, as expected, no difference between the two representation methods. The main difference affects the interpretation of the coordinates used. This is observed for regional scale exploration, while it is also needed to study different ways of representing geochemical data in local scale.

Abstract: A vehicle detection algorithm is an indispensable component of intelligent traffic management and control systems, influencing the efficiency and functionality of the system. In this paper, we propose a lightweight improvement method for the YOLOv5 algorithm based on integrated perceptual attention, with few parameters and high detection accuracy. First, we propose a lightweight module IPA with a Transformer encoder based on integrated perceptual attention, which leads to a reduction in the number of parameters while capturing global dependencies for richer contextual information. Second, we propose a lightweight and efficient multiscale spatial channel reconstruction (MSCCR) module that does not increase parameter and computational complexity and facilitates representative feature learning. Finally, we incorporate the IPA module and the MSCCR module into the YOLOv5s backbone network to reduce model parameters and improve accuracy. The test results show that, compared with the original model, the model parameters decrease by about 9%, the average accuracy (mAP@50) increases by 3.1%, and the FLOPS does not increase.

Abstract: Graphs can facilitate modeling various complex systems such as gene networks and power grids, as well as analyzing the underlying relations within them. Learning over graphs has recently attracted increasing attention, particularly graph neural network-based (GNN) solutions, among which graph attention networks (GATs) have become one of the most widely utilized neural network structures for graph-based tasks. Although it is shown that the use of graph structures in learning results in the amplification of algorithmic bias, the influence of the attention design in GATs on algorithmic bias has not been investigated. Motivated by this, the present study first carries out a theoretical analysis in order to demonstrate the sources of algorithmic bias in GAT-based learning for node classification. Then, a novel algorithm, FairGAT, that leverages a fairness-aware attention design is developed based on the theoretical findings. Experimental results on real-world networks demonstrate that FairGAT improves group fairness measures while also providing comparable utility to the fairness-aware baselines for node classification and link prediction.

Abstract: Abstract Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers information‐theoretic security by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics. This means the security is independent of all future advances in algorithm or computational power. However, due to the non‐availability of single‐photon sources, most traditional QKD protocols are vulnerable to various attacks, such as photon number‐splitting (PNS) attacks. Also, the imperfections in the measuring devices open a loophole for side channels that an eavesdropper may exploit to launch attacks such as large‐pulse attacks. As a result, this compromises the security of transmitted information. To address these challenges, the authors present a QKD protocol that is secure against both large‐pulse attacks and PNS attacks at zero‐error, in which the eavesdropper does not introduce any error, but still, the legitimate users of the system cannot distil a secure key. A notable feature of the proposed protocol is that it promotes greater robustness against both attacks than the Bennett‐Brassard 1984 (BB84) protocol or the Scarani‐Acin‐Ribordy‐Gisin 2004 (SARG04) protocol.
