In many real-world classification problems, datasets exhibit a skewed class distribution, known as class imbalance, where one class has significantly more samples than another. Machine learning models trained on imbalanced data tend to favor the class with more samples. This bias toward the majority class leads to poor classification performance on rare but important cases,…
Communication difficulties can profoundly impact a person’s overall quality of life. However, most existing communication support systems are not designed for use while lying in bed alone, leaving a gap in assistive technology. Introducing a Communication Support Solution for the In-Bed Scenario In the scope of the APH-ALARM project, we developed a system specifically designed…

Identifying biomedical named entities from clinical narratives has a great interest in the scientific community due to its importance in treatment improvements, drug development research, and patient record analysis. Traditional approaches often focus on recognizing a single entity type (such as chemicals), yet recent advancements emphasize the necessity of addressing multi-class scenarios. We present a…
