HistoFusionNet: Histogram-Guided Fusion and Frequency-Adaptive Refinement for Nighttime Image Dehazing

Nighttime image dehazing remains a challenging low-level vision problem due to the joint presence of haze, glow, non-uniform illumination, color distortion, and sensor noise, which often invalidate assumptions commonly used in daytime dehazing. To address these challenges, we propose HistoFusionNet, a transformer-enhanced architecture tailored for nighttime image dehazing by combining histogram-guided representation learning with frequency-adaptive feature refinement. Built upon a multi-scale encoder-decoder backbone, our method introduces histogram transformer blocks that model long-range dependencies by grouping features according to their dynamic-range characteristics, enabling more effective aggregation of similarly degraded regions under complex nighttime lighting. To further improve restoration fidelity, we incorporate a frequency-aware refinement branch that adaptively exploits complementary low- and high-frequency cues, helping recover scene structures, suppress artifacts, and enhance local details. This design yields a unified framework that is particularly well suited to the heterogeneous degradations encountered in real nighttime hazy scenes. Extensive experiments and highly competitive performance of our method on the NTIRE 2026 Nighttime Image Dehazing Challenge benchmark demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Our team ranked 1st among 22 participating teams, highlighting the robustness and competitive performance of HistoFusionNet.

Federated Learning-Assisted Optimization of Mobile Transmission with Digital Twins

A Digital Twin (DT) may protect information that is considered private to its associated physical system. For a mobile device, this may include its mobility profile, recent location(s), and experienced channel conditions. Online schedulers, however, typically use this type of information to perform tasks such as shared bandwidth and channel time slot assignments. In this paper, we consider three transmission scheduling problems with energy constraints, where such information is needed, and yet must remain private: minimizing total transmission time when (i) fixed-power or (ii) fixed-rate time slotting with power control is used, and (iii) maximizing the amount of data uploaded in a fixed time period. Using a real-time federated optimization framework, we show how the scheduler can iteratively interact only with the DTs to produce global fractional solutions to these problems, without the latter revealing their private information. Then dependent rounding is used to round the fractional solution into a channel transmission schedule for the physical systems. Experiments show consistent makespan reductions with near-zero bandwidth/energy violations and millisecond-order end-to-end runtime for typical edge server hardware. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first framework that enables channel sharing across DTs using operations that do not expose private data.

Distributed Record Linkage in Healthcare Data with Apache Spark

Healthcare data is a valuable resource for research, analysis, and decision-making in the medical field. However, healthcare data is often fragmented and distributed across various sources, making it challenging to combine and analyze effectively. Record linkage, also known as data matching, is a crucial step in integrating and cleaning healthcare data to ensure data quality and accuracy. Apache Spark, a powerful open-source distributed big data processing framework, provides a robust platform for performing record linkage tasks with the aid of its machine learning library. In this study, we developed a new distributed data-matching model based on the Apache Spark Machine Learning library. To ensure the correct functioning of our model, the validation phase has been performed on the training data. The main challenge is data imbalance because a large amount of data is labeled false, and a small number of records are labeled true. By utilizing SVM and Regression algorithms, our results demonstrate that research data was neither over-fitted nor under-fitted, and this shows that our distributed model works well on the data.

Analysis of Persian News Agencies on Instagram, A Words Co-occurrence Graph-based Approach

The rise of the Internet and the exponential increase in data have made manual data summarization and analysis a challenging task. Instagram social network is a prominent social network widely utilized in Iran for information sharing and communication across various age groups. The inherent structure of Instagram, characterized by its text-rich content and graph-like data representation, enables the utilization of text and graph processing techniques for data analysis purposes. The degree distributions of these networks exhibit scale-free characteristics, indicating non-random growth patterns. Recently, word co-occurrence has gained attention from researchers across multiple disciplines due to its simplicity and practicality. Keyword extraction is a crucial task in natural language processing. In this study, we demonstrated that high-precision extraction of keywords from Instagram posts in the Persian language can be achieved using unsupervised word co-occurrence methods without resorting to conventional techniques such as clustering or pre-trained models. After graph visualization and community detection, it was observed that the top topics covered by news agencies are represented by these graphs. This approach is generalizable to new and diverse datasets and can provide acceptable outputs for new data. To the author's knowledge, this method has not been employed in the Persian language before on Instagram social network. The new crawled data has been publicly released on GitHub for exploration by other researchers. By employing this method, it is possible to use other graph-based algorithms, such as community detections. The results help us to identify the key role of different news agencies in information diffusion among the public, identify hidden communities, and discover latent patterns among a massive amount of data.

Analysis of Insect-Plant Interactions Affected by Mining Operations, A Graph Mining Approach

The decline in ecological connections signifies the potential extinction of species, which can be attributed to disruptions and alterations. The decrease in interconnections among species reflects their susceptibility to changes. For example, certain insects and plants that rely on exclusive interactions with a limited number of species, or even a specific species, face the risk of extinction if they lose these crucial connections. Currently, mining activities pose significant harm to natural ecosystems, resulting in various adverse environmental impacts. In this study, we utilized network science techniques to analyze the ecosystem in a graph-based structure, aiming to conserve the ecosystem affected by mining operations in the northern region of Scotland. The research encompasses identifying the most vital members of the network, establishing criteria for identifying communities within the network, comparing, and evaluating them, using models to predict secondary extinctions that occur when a species is removed from the network, and assessing the extent of network damage. Our study's novelty is utilizing network science approaches to investigate the biological data related to interactions between insects and plants.
