Hybrid ViT-RetinaNet with Explainable Ensemble Learning for Fine-Grained Vehicle Damage Classification

Author(s): Ananya Saha, Mahir Afser Pavel, Afifa Zain Apurba, Md Fahim Shahoriar Titu, and Riasat Khan

Abstract: Efficient and explainable vehicle damage inspection is essential due to the increasing complexity and volume of vehicular incidents. Traditional manual inspection approaches are not time-effective, prone to human error, and lead to inefficiencies in insurance claims and repair workflows. Existing deep learning methods, such as CNNs, often struggle with generalization, require large annotated datasets, and lack interpretability. This study presents ...

Bridging High-Resource to Low-Resource Language Gaps: Refining Clinical Outcome Prediction via Cross-Lingual Methods and Adaptive Translation Strategies with SHAP

Author(s): Mahir Afser Pavel, Rafiul Islam, Mohammad Junayed Hasan, and M. R. C. Mahdy

Abstract: English has more dominant and rich cultures in every NLP research than other low-resource languages. So, it lacks research on other low-resource languages like Bengali and remains underexplored in the NLP field, especially in deploying models, creating datasets, and other availabilities. The study introduces ...
