Physics-Based Benchmarking Metrics for Multimodal Synthetic Images

Current state of the art measures like BLEU, CIDEr, VQA score, SigLIP-2 and CLIPScore are often unable to capture semantic or structural accuracy, especially for domain-specific or context-dependent scenarios. For this, this paper proposes a Physics-Constrained Multimodal Data Evaluation (PCMDE) metric combining large language models with reasoning, knowledge based mapping and vision-language models to overcome these limitations. The architecture is comprised of three main stages: (1) feature extraction of spatial and semantic information with multimodal features through object detection and VLMs; (2) Confidence-Weighted Component Fusion for adaptive component-level validation; and (3) physics-guided reasoning using large language models for structural and relational constraints (e.g., alignment, position, consistency) enforcement.

VLCE: A Knowledge-Enhanced Framework for Image Description in Disaster Assessment

General-purpose vision-language models (VLMs) such as LLaVA and QwenVL produce descriptions of disaster imagery that lack domain-specific vocabulary and actionable detail. We propose the Vision-Language Caption Enhancer (VLCE), a framework that integrates external semantic knowledge from ConceptNet and WordNet into the caption generation process for post-disaster satellite and UAV imagery. VLCE operates in two stages: first, a baseline VLM generates an initial caption conditioned on YOLOv8 object detections; second, a knowledge-enriched sequential model, a CNN-LSTM or a hierarchical cross-modal Transformer, refines the caption using a vocabulary augmented with 1,566 domain-relevant terms extracted from knowledge graphs. We evaluate VLCE on two disaster benchmarks: xBD (satellite, 6,369 images, 3 damage classes) and RescueNet (UAV, 4,494 images, 12 damage classes), using CLIPScore for semantic alignment and InfoMetIC for informativeness. On RescueNet with the Transformer decoder, VLCE with knowledge graph enrichment produces captions preferred over QwenVL baselines in 95.33% of image pairs on InfoMetIC and 73.64% on CLIPScore. Qualitative analysis shows that without knowledge graph integration, generated captions exhibit hallucinations, word repetition, and semantic incoherence, whereas knowledge-enriched captions maintain factual consistency and domain-appropriate vocabulary.

Beyond Visual Similarity: Rule-Guided Multimodal Clustering with explicit domain rules

Traditional clustering techniques often rely solely on similarity in the input data, limiting their ability to capture structural or semantic constraints that are critical in many domains. We introduce the Domain Aware Rule Triggered Variational Autoencoder (DARTVAE), a rule guided multimodal clustering framework that incorporates domain specific constraints directly into the representation learning process. DARTVAE extends the VAE architecture by embedding explicit rules, semantic representations, and data driven features into a unified latent space, while enforcing constraint compliance through rule consistency and violation penalties in the loss function. Unlike conventional clustering methods that rely only on visual similarity or apply rules as post hoc filters, DARTVAE treats rules as first class learning signals. The rules are generated by LLMs, structured into knowledge graphs, and enforced through a loss function combining reconstruction, KL divergence, consistency, and violation penalties. Experiments on aircraft and automotive datasets demonstrate that rule guided clustering produces more operationally meaningful and interpretable clusters for example, isolating UAVs, unifying stealth aircraft, or separating SUVs from sedans while improving traditional clustering metrics. However, the framework faces challenges: LLM generated rules may hallucinate or conflict, excessive rules risk overfitting, and scaling to complex domains increases computational and consistency difficulties. By combining rule encodings with learned representations, DARTVAE achieves more meaningful and consistent clustering outcomes than purely data driven models, highlighting the utility of constraint guided multimodal clustering for complex, knowledge intensive settings.

Continuous Monitoring of Large-Scale Generative AI via Deterministic Knowledge Graph Structures

Generative AI (GEN AI) models have revolutionized diverse application domains but present substantial challenges due to reliability concerns, including hallucinations, semantic drift, and inherent biases. These models typically operate as black-boxes, complicating transparent and objective evaluation. Current evaluation methods primarily depend on subjective human assessment, limiting scalability, transparency, and effectiveness. This research proposes a systematic methodology using deterministic and Large Language Model (LLM)-generated Knowledge Graphs (KGs) to continuously monitor and evaluate GEN AI reliability. We construct two parallel KGs: (i) a deterministic KG built using explicit rule-based methods, predefined ontologies, domain-specific dictionaries, and structured entity-relation extraction rules, and (ii) an LLM-generated KG dynamically derived from real-time textual data streams such as live news articles. Utilizing real-time news streams ensures authenticity, mitigates biases from repetitive training, and prevents adaptive LLMs from bypassing predefined benchmarks through feedback memorization. To quantify structural deviations and semantic discrepancies, we employ several established KG metrics, including Instantiated Class Ratio (ICR), Instantiated Property Ratio (IPR), and Class Instantiation (CI). An automated real-time monitoring framework continuously computes deviations between deterministic and LLM-generated KGs. By establishing dynamic anomaly thresholds based on historical structural metric distributions, our method proactively identifies and flags significant deviations, thus promptly detecting semantic anomalies or hallucinations. This structured, metric-driven comparison between deterministic and dynamically generated KGs delivers a robust and scalable evaluation framework.

SOK: Exploring Hallucinations and Security Risks in AI-Assisted Software Development with Insights for LLM Deployment

The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor AI, and Codeium AI into software development has revolutionized the coding landscape, offering significant productivity gains, automation, and enhanced debugging capabilities. These tools have proven invaluable for generating code snippets, refactoring existing code, and providing real-time support to developers. However, their widespread adoption also presents notable challenges, particularly in terms of security vulnerabilities, code quality, and ethical concerns. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the benefits and risks associated with AI-powered coding tools, drawing on user feedback, security analyses, and practical use cases. We explore the potential for these tools to replicate insecure coding practices, introduce biases, and generate incorrect or non-sensical code (hallucinations). In addition, we discuss the risks of data leaks, intellectual property violations and the need for robust security measures to mitigate these threats. By comparing the features and performance of these tools, we aim to guide developers in making informed decisions about their use, ensuring that the benefits of AI-assisted coding are maximized while minimizing associated risks.

Physical Rule-Guided Convolutional Neural Network

The black-box nature of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and their reliance on large datasets limit their use in complex domains with limited labeled data. Physics-Guided Neural Networks (PGNNs) have emerged to address these limitations by integrating scientific principles and real-world knowledge, enhancing model interpretability and efficiency. This paper proposes a novel Physics-Guided CNN (PGCNN) architecture that incorporates dynamic, trainable, and automated LLM-generated, widely recognized rules integrated into the model as custom layers to address challenges like limited data and low confidence scores. The PGCNN is evaluated on multiple datasets, demonstrating superior performance compared to a baseline CNN model. Key improvements include a significant reduction in false positives and enhanced confidence scores for true detection. The results highlight the potential of PGCNNs to improve CNN performance for broader application areas.
