Data and context matter: towards generalizing AI-based software vulnerability detection
AI-based solutions demonstrate remarkable results in identifying vulnerabilities in software, but research has consistently found that this performance does not generalize to unseen codebases. In this paper, we specifically investigate the impact of model architecture, parameter...

Longitudinal Joint Quality Assurance: Threshold for Dielectric-Based Index
Abstract Compaction quality at longitudinal joints (LJ) is critical for hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavement durability. Traditional quality assurance (QA) methods, relying on pavement cores, are labor-intensive, time-consuming, costly, and limited in coverage. The Dielectric Profiling...
