Genetic improvement (GI) of software is a family of techniques that can automatically improve code using evolutionary algorithms. The idea is to apply changes (swap lines/blocks, change + to -, etc.) to existing code until it is improved. This has been successfully deployed for automated bug fixing, speeding up existing programs, and making software more energy efficient, with impressive results.

Islam has become the current fastest growing religion in the world. It indicates that a lot of people starting to get interested to study Islam. The best way to study a religion is by reading its holy scripture, where in Islam is the Quran. People who embrace Islam as their religion are called Muslims, and according to them it requires to sincerely open your mind and heart to study Quran, and it will take a lifetime to understand and analyze the deep meaning of Quran. Therefore, most Muslims study Quran with guidance from Muslim scholars to get better understanding of what they read.

Despite the needs of stakeholders, which dental institutions as primary focus in this paper, the feasibility of integrating artificial intelligence (AI), specifically Language Models (LLMs), whether in a broad context or within specific environments such as dental education, is an active area of research. Studies related to AI applications, both in education or dental health institutions, suggest that ChatGPT's performance needs to be considered from various perspectives.

The integration of chatbots into customer service operations has undergone a transformative shift across diverse industries, becoming essential instruments for delivering assistance and personalized interactions. This development, spurred by the requirement for efficient, scalable, and 24/7 available customer service solutions, has become notable in various sectors, from retail to healthcare.

Word sense disambiguation (WSD), the process of computationally identifying the appropriate meaning of a word within its context, is a fundamental task in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Effective WSD is crucial for building accurate machine translation systems, information retrieval tools, and sentiment analysis applications, especially when dealing with diverse languages and linguistic variations.

The Javanese language, spoken by a population of over 98 million people, faces notable challenges in digital and technological applications, especially when compared to globally recognized languages. This disparity is highlighted in several studies that discuss the lack of deep learning research benefits due to data scarcity for Javanese. Additionally, other studies have pointed out the inaccessibility of data resources and benchmarks for Javanese, contrasting with languages like English and Mandarin Chinese.

Political polarization is a phenomenon that permeates societies worldwide, manifesting in divergent ideologies, entrenched viewpoints, and societal fragmentation. In the context of Indonesia, a diverse and populous nation with a complex socio-political landscape, understanding political polarization is crucial for fostering social cohesion and effective governance.

In the evolving landscape of data reporting, traditional text-based and quantitative methods are increasingly being supplemented by rich, community-generated qualitative data, including audio and video content. This shift presents unique challenges and opportunities in how non-profits, government bodies, and community organizations present and utilize this data.

Become part of the Monash Immersive Analytics Lab, and explore exciting new ways to visualise, interact, and analyse all types of data with VR and AR! We are looking for enthusiastic students to work on immersive visualisation using latest technology, such as head-mounted displays with integrated eye-trackers (Microsoft HoloLens and others), gesture recognition devices, and large wall displays.

This project focuses on modeling heart rate data captured via FitBit Sense devices worn by team members in collaborative situations such as supervision meetings, group teaching, or nursing simulation scenarios. The primary goal is to identify stressful situations or similar events by analysing heart rate variations.
