Brain tumor segmentation plays an important role in clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, and neuro-oncology assessment using multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data. However, conventional centralized deep learning systems often face limitations associated with patient data privacy, secure inter-institutional collaboration, and limited model interpretability. This study presents a decentralized and privacy-preserving brain tumor segmentation framework that integrates Federated Learning (FL), a blockchain-inspired audit and coordination mechanism, and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) within a collaborative medical imaging environment. A 3D U-Net architecture was trained on... More >

Electroluminescence imaging is widely used for detecting defects in solar cells. It reveals electrically active damage that remains invisible under conventional optical inspection. Most existing studies apply machine learning models to classify electroluminescence images and report performance mainly through accuracy scores. Inspection is often treated as an isolated prediction task, while physical defect mechanisms, sensing variability, representation bias, decision risk, and deployment constraints receive limited attention. As a result, strong benchmark results may not translate into reliable inspection outcomes in manufacturing environments. This paper presents a conceptual, non-systemati... More >

Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) software is an important part of modern software applications. It is used for intelligent user interfaces, diagnostics in psychiatry or psychology, human-computer interaction, and even in surveillance. The recent advancements in the use of deep learning, and the advanced architectures based on them, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and transformer models have made the development of FER software much efficient and scalable. This review paper contributes to the existing literature by providing a comprehensive synthesis of Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) systems from a software engineering perspective spanning the period from 2015 to the present....
