Budget-First Tariff Recommendation (BFTR): A Complete Algorithmic Framework for Telecom Plan Recommendation without Overcharging

Telecom operators traditionally offer predefined tariff grids, forcing users to choose from a limited set of plans. This paper proposes BFTR (Budget-First Tariff Recommendation), a complete algorithmic framework integrating eight Budget-First strategies, including two original hybrid approaches: Recursive Hybrid (conditional interpolation) and Knapsack-First Hybrid (priority knapsack). Unlike existing approaches that adjust prices upward to guarantee a minimum margin, BFTR guarantees the absence of overcharging by systematically aligning the final price with the catalog reference price. We mathematically formalize each strategy, prove the existence of an offer for any positive budget, and prove that the price deviation (surcharge) is zero for all strategies that do not use interpolation with correction. A detailed comparative analysis confronts BFTR to ten main existing tariff models on ten dimensions. Experiments on a dataset of 974 customers inspired by the Nigerian MTN market show that: (i) Recursive Hybrid is optimal for the customer (100% budget used, 29.9 GB volume, utility 0.946, 0% overcharging), (ii) Piecewise offers the highest volume (39.7 GB) with 0% overcharging, (iii) Power Law provides an excellent compromise (99.9% budget, 38.1 GB, 0% overcharging). All strategies achieve a zero surcharge, confirming the theoretical guarantees. A sensitivity analysis on the weighting parameter alpha (0.2 - volume priority, 0.5 - balance, 0.8 - budget priority) shows that utility rankings evolve logically. Execution times (< 10 ms) and very low failure rates (0% for robust strategies) confirm the operational viability of the system. The formal proof of the absence of overcharging constitutes a major theoretical contribution.

Revenue-Sharing as Infrastructure: A Distributed Business Model for Generative AI Platforms

Generative AI platforms (Google AI Studio, OpenAI, Anthropic) provide infrastructures (APIs, models) that are transforming the application development ecosystem. Recent literature distinguishes three generations of business models: a first generation modeled on cloud computing (pay-per-use), a second characterized by diversification (freemium, subscriptions), and a third, emerging generation exploring multi-layer market architectures with revenue-sharing mechanisms. Despite these advances, current models impose a financial barrier to entry for developers, limiting innovation and excluding actors from emerging economies. This paper proposes and analyzes an original model, "Revenue-Sharing as Infrastructure" (RSI), where the platform offers its AI infrastructure for free and takes a percentage of the revenues generated by developers applications. This model reverses the traditional upstream payment logic and mobilizes concepts of value co-creation, incentive mechanisms, and multi-layer market architecture to build an original theoretical framework. A detailed comparative analysis shows that the RSI model lowers entry barriers for developers, aligns stakeholder interests, and could stimulate innovation in the ecosystem. Beyond its economic relevance, RSI has a major societal dimension: by enabling developers without initial capital to participate in the digital economy, it could unlock the "latent jobs dividend" in low-income countries, where mobile penetration reaches 84%, and help address local challenges in health, agriculture, and services. Finally, we discuss the conditions of feasibility and strategic implications for platforms and developers.

Bi-Attention HateXplain : Taking into account the sequential aspect of data during explainability in a multi-task context

Technological advances in the Internet and online social networks have brought many benefits to humanity. At the same time, this growth has led to an increase in hate speech, the main global threat. To improve the reliability of black-box models used for hate speech detection, post-hoc approaches such as LIME, SHAP, and LRP provide the explanation after training the classification model. In contrast, multi-task approaches based on the HateXplain benchmark learn to explain and classify simultaneously. However, results from HateXplain-based algorithms show that predicted attention varies considerably when it should be constant. This attention variability can lead to inconsistent interpretations, instability of predictions, and learning difficulties. To solve this problem, we propose the BiAtt-BiRNN-HateXplain (Bidirectional Attention BiRNN HateXplain) model which is easier to explain compared to LLMs which are more complex in view of the need for transparency, and will take into account the sequential aspect of the input data during explainability thanks to a BiRNN layer. Thus, if the explanation is correctly estimated, thanks to multi-task learning (explainability and classification task), the model could classify better and commit fewer unintentional bias errors related to communities. The experimental results on HateXplain data show a clear improvement in detection performance, explainability and a reduction in unintentional bias.
