We describe libhmm, a C++20 library for Hidden Markov Model parameter estimation, sequence decoding, and model selection. libhmm addresses two gaps in existing software: the absence of a well-maintained, zero-dependency C++ HMM library…
AI is transforming life sciences research at unprecedented speed, accelerating discovery across protein structure prediction, genome modeling, and drug development (Jumper et al., 2021; Mak et al., 2024). Yet this rapid advancement, coupled…
The substance of this paper is the description of the use of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for specific digital collections of cultural assets. The collections are provided by institutions operating in the cultural sector. The…
Users of search-augmented LLMs rely on citations as evidence that responses are grounded in real sources, and rarely verify the cited pages themselves. Millions of queries per day now pass through these systems, making citation quality a…
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate scientific reports, but they can produce references that appear plausible while containing corrupted metadata or pointing to papers that do not exist. We introduce CiteCheck, a…
Scientific papers make claims about prior work backed by citations. Verifying those citations at scale (that each cited paper exists, says what the citation claims, and is itself reliable) is structurally beyond what human review can…
Neural networks are increasingly deployed in scientific, safety critical, and mission critical pipelines, yet verification and analysis are often performed outside the programming environment that defines and runs the model. This creates a…
We present BookReconciler, an open-source tool for enhancing and clustering book data. BookReconciler allows users to take spreadsheets with minimal metadata, such as book title and author, and automatically 1) add authoritative, persistent…
Authorship attribution asks whether two pieces of text share a writer, but topical confound makes the task deceptively easy: two authors covering the same topic may look more alike than one author covering two topics. Scholarly prose offers…
This study employs scientometric methods to assess the research output and performance of the University of Nigeria from 2014 to 2023. By analyzing publication trends, citation patterns, and collaboration networks, the research aims to…
Sustaining open data infrastructures over time is a complex puzzle, involving dynamic funding models and relationships with customers, collaborators, and competitors. Despite their importance, these mechanisms are often hidden from view,…
Efficient solutions of large-scale, ill-conditioned and indefinite algebraic equations are ubiquitously needed in numerous computational fields, including multiphysics simulations, machine learning, and data science. Because of their…
The web is often treated as a durable record of institutional and social life, yet in practice it is fragile, revisable, and frequently ephemeral. Domains change, redesigns erase earlier material, institutions relocate, maintainers…
This article examines the case of two papers published in Naturwissenschaften by the physicist Max Planck that were retrospectively marked as retracted on Springer digital platform. Rather than originating in scientific fraud, these…
A formulation of elliptic boundary value problems is used to develop the first discrete exterior calculus (DEC) library for massively parallel computations with 3D domains. This can be used for steady-state analysis of any physical process…
This paper presents an experimental performance study of implementations of three symbolic algorithms for solving band matrix systems of linear algebraic equations with heptadiagonal, pentadiagonal, and tridiagonal coefficient matrices. The…
We present the Matlab toolbox MacaulayLab, which implements numerical linear algebra algorithms for solving multivariate polynomial systems and rectangular multiparameter eigenvalue problems. Its structure and functionality are the result…
The academic journal zoning system is central to evaluating research talent, funding, and institutions. The CAS journal partition system, one of East Asia's most widely used tools, will cease operation in March 2026, creating a policy gap.…
Parliamentary proceedings represent a rich yet challenging resource for computational analysis, particularly when preserved only as scanned historical documents. Existing efforts to transcribe Italian parliamentary speeches have relied on…
Scientific abstracts are increasingly used as primary data in computational metascience research, yet the quality of these abstracts in widely used bibliographic databases has not been systematically examined. We assess the integrity of…
