CourseBlueprint: A Structured Pipeline for Adaptive Pedagogical Video Generation Grounded in Course Corpora
Md Zabirul Islam, Md Motaleb Hossen Manik, Ge Wang
Generative text-to-video systems can produce visually fluent educational clips, but they rarely encode the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) needed for effective instruction, inc…
SlideChain: Semantic Provenance for Lecture Understanding via Blockchain Registration
Md Motaleb Hossen Manik, Md Zabirul Islam, Ge Wang
Modern vision--language models (VLMs) are increasingly used to interpret and generate educational content, yet their semantic outputs remain challenging to verify, reproduce, and a…
ALIVE: An Avatar-Lecture Interactive Video Engine with Content-Aware Retrieval for Real-Time Interaction
Md Zabirul Islam, Md Motaleb Hossen Manik, Ge Wang
Traditional lecture videos offer flexibility but lack mechanisms for real-time clarification, forcing learners to search externally when confusion arises. Recent advances in large…
N-ReLU: Zero-Mean Stochastic Extension of ReLU
Md Motaleb Hossen Manik, Md Zabirul Islam, Ge Wang
Activation functions are fundamental for enabling nonlinear representations in deep neural networks. However, the standard rectified linear unit (ReLU) often suffers from inactive…
Development and Validation of a Large Language Model for Generating Fully-Structured Radiology Reports
Chuang Niu, Md Sayed Tanveer, Md Zabirul Islam +5
Current LLMs for creating fully-structured reports face the challenges of formatting errors, content hallucinations, and privacy leakage issues when uploading data to external serv…
TrialDura: Hierarchical Attention Transformer for Interpretable Clinical Trial Duration Prediction
Ling Yue, Jonathan Li, Sixue Xing +4
The clinical trial process, a critical phase in drug development, is essential for developing new treatments. The primary goal of interventional clinical trials is to evaluate the…
