Importance Scoring of Transformer Attention Heads in Learning Tabular Data

Computationally demanding and opaque deep learning models can be better understood and optimized by analyzing how they transform data. While deep transformers have been widely studied in computer vision and natural language processing, their application in tabular data remains relatively underexplored. This paper presents one of the first applications of an importance-scoring metric to interpret multi-head transformer models in learning from tabular data. Experiments conducted on 40 diverse tabular datasets demonstrate robustness to head drops based on the proposed head importance score. In 72.5\% of experimental examples, the model remains most resilient to performance drops when heads with the lowest importance scores are gradually removed. In contrast, removing the most important attention head first results in the greatest reduction in classification performance. A closer look at individual head importance scores across six attention layers reveals that important heads are scattered across layers, with no consistent layer-specific trends. In contrast to the image and language domains, the importance of individual attention heads varies considerably across tabular datasets with different schemas and feature spaces. The proposed importance score can improve efficiency and redundancy within transformer architectures. We make the source code for measuring the importance of individual attention heads publicly available.

Ensemble of Unsupervised Deep Learning for Clustering Imbalanced Tabular Data

Data imbalance poses a major challenge in supervised classification, where the majority-class bias contributes to false negatives and overestimates classification accuracy. Unsupervised deep clustering can be immune to class imbalance because representation learning for clustering is performed without class labels. Deep clustering has been proposed for images, languages, and graphs, while its application to tabular data has only emerged recently. This paper is among the first to examine the performance of state-of-the-art deep clustering methods under varying levels of data imbalance. We introduce two novel cluster ensemble approaches: one aggregates deep clustering assignments across different embedding dimensions, and the other applies majority voting to the best-performing clustering algorithms. Experiments on 16 binary tabular datasets with varying and artificially induced levels of imbalance reveal distinct strengths of different deep clustering methods. On average, our ensemble methods outperform individual clustering methods in ACC, NMI, and ARI scores, offering greater resilience to data imbalance when identifying ground-truth classes without supervision. Therefore, in an imbalanced data scenario, deep clustering can serve as a strong alternative to supervised classification.

BeHGAN: Bengali Handwritten Word Generation from Plain Text Using Generative Adversarial Networks

Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) is a well-established research area. In contrast, Handwritten Text Generation (HTG) is an emerging field with significant potential. This task is challenging due to the variation in individual handwriting styles. A large and diverse dataset is required to generate realistic handwritten text. However, such datasets are difficult to collect and are not readily available. Bengali is the fifth most spoken language in the world. While several studies exist for languages such as English and Arabic, Bengali handwritten text generation has received little attention. To address this gap, we propose a method for generating Bengali handwritten words. We developed and used a self-collected dataset of Bengali handwriting samples. The dataset includes contributions from approximately five hundred individuals across different ages and genders. All images were pre-processed to ensure consistency and quality. Our approach demonstrates the ability to produce diverse handwritten outputs from input plain text. We believe this work contributes to the advancement of Bengali handwriting generation and can support further research in this area.

FUSE: Unifying Spectral and Semantic Cues for Robust AI-Generated Image Detection

The fast evolution of generative models has heightened the demand for reliable detection of AI-generated images. To tackle this challenge, we introduce FUSE, a hybrid system that combines spectral features extracted through Fast Fourier Transform with semantic features obtained from the CLIP's Vision encoder. The features are fused into a joint representation and trained progressively in two stages. Evaluations on GenImage, WildFake, DiTFake, GPT-ImgEval and Chameleon datasets demonstrate strong generalization across multiple generators. Our FUSE (Stage 1) model demonstrates state-of-the-art results on the Chameleon benchmark. It also attains 91.36% mean accuracy on the GenImage dataset, 88.71% accuracy across all tested generators, and a mean Average Precision of 94.96%. Stage 2 training further improves performance for most generators. Unlike existing methods, which often perform poorly on high-fidelity images in Chameleon, our approach maintains robustness across diverse generators. These findings highlight the benefits of integrating spectral and semantic features for generalized detection of images generated by AI.

Zero-Shot to Zero-Lies: Detecting Bengali Deepfake Audio through Transfer Learning

The rapid growth of speech synthesis and voice conversion systems has made deepfake audio a major security concern. Bengali deepfake detection remains largely unexplored. In this work, we study automatic detection of Bengali audio deepfakes using the BanglaFake dataset. We evaluate zeroshot inference with several pretrained models. These include Wav2Vec2-XLSR-53, Whisper, PANNsCNN14, WavLM and Audio Spectrogram Transformer. Zero-shot results show limited detection ability. The best model, Wav2Vec2-XLSR-53, achieves 53.80% accuracy, 56.60% AUC and 46.20% EER. We then f ine-tune multiple architectures for Bengali deepfake detection. These include Wav2Vec2-Base, LCNN, LCNN-Attention, ResNet18, ViT-B16 and CNN-BiLSTM. Fine-tuned models show strong performance gains. ResNet18 achieves the highest accuracy of 79.17%, F1 score of 79.12%, AUC of 84.37% and EER of 24.35%. Experimental results confirm that fine-tuning significantly improves performance over zero-shot inference. This study provides the first systematic benchmark of Bengali deepfake audio detection. It highlights the effectiveness of f ine-tuned deep learning models for this low-resource language.

Detecting AI-Generated Paraphrases in Bengali: A Comparative Study of Zero-Shot and Fine-Tuned Transformers

Large language models (LLMs) can produce text that closely resembles human writing. This capability raises concerns about misuse, including disinformation and content manipulation. Detecting AI-generated text is essential to maintain authenticity and prevent malicious applications. Existing research has addressed detection in multiple languages, but the Bengali language remains largely unexplored. Bengali's rich vocabulary and complex structure make distinguishing human-written and AI-generated text particularly challenging. This study investigates five transformer-based models: XLMRoBERTa-Large, mDeBERTaV3-Base, BanglaBERT-Base, IndicBERT-Base and MultilingualBERT-Base. Zero-shot evaluation shows that all models perform near chance levels (around 50% accuracy) and highlight the need for task-specific fine-tuning. Fine-tuning significantly improves performance, with XLM-RoBERTa, mDeBERTa and MultilingualBERT achieving around 91% on both accuracy and F1-score. IndicBERT demonstrates comparatively weaker performance, indicating limited effectiveness in fine-tuning for this task. This work advances AI-generated text detection in Bengali and establishes a foundation for building robust systems to counter AI-generated content.
