Synthetic Swarm Mosquito Dataset for Acoustic Classification: A Proof of ConceptThai-Duy Dinh, Minh-Luan Vo, Cuong Tuan Nguyen et al.
Mosquito-borne diseases pose a serious global health threat, causing over 700,000 deaths annually. This work introduces a proof-of-concept Synthetic Swarm Mosquito Dataset for Acoustic Classification, created to simulate realistic multi-species and noisy swarm conditions. Unlike conventional datasets that require labor-intensive recording of individual mosquitoes, the synthetic approach enables scalable data generation while reducing human resource demands. Using log-mel spectrograms, we evaluated lightweight deep learning architectures for the classification of mosquito species. Experiments show that these models can effectively identify six major mosquito vectors and are suitable for deployment on embedded low-power devices. The study demonstrates the potential of synthetic swarm audio datasets to accelerate acoustic mosquito research and enable scalable real-time surveillance solutions.

AskDB: An LLM Agent for Natural Language Interaction with Relational DatabasesXuan-Quang Phan, Tan-Ha Mai, Thai-Duy Dinh et al.
Interacting with relational databases remains challenging for users across different expertise levels, particularly when composing complex analytical queries or performing administrative tasks. Existing systems typically address either natural language querying or narrow aspects of database administration, lacking a unified and intelligent interface for general-purpose database interaction. We introduce AskDB, a large language model powered agent designed to bridge this gap by supporting both data analysis and administrative operations over SQL databases through natural language. Built on Gemini 2, AskDB integrates two key innovations: a dynamic schema-aware prompting mechanism that effectively incorporates database metadata, and a task decomposition framework that enables the agent to plan and execute multi-step actions. These capabilities allow AskDB to autonomously debug derived SQL, retrieve contextual information via real-time web search, and adaptively refine its responses. We evaluate AskDB on a widely used Text-to-SQL benchmark and a curated set of DBA tasks, demonstrating strong performance in both analytical and administrative scenarios. Our results highlight the potential of AskDB as a unified and intelligent agent for relational database systems, offering an intuitive and accessible experience for end users.

An LLM-Powered Agent for Real-Time Analysis of the Vietnamese IT Job MarketMinh-Thuan Nguyen, Thien Vo-Thanh, Thai-Duy Dinh et al.
Individuals entering Vietnam's dynamic Information Technology (IT) job market face a critical gap in reliable career guidance. Existing market reports are often outdated, while the manual analysis of thousands of job postings is impractical for most. To address this challenge, we present the AI Job Market Consultant, a novel conversational agent that delivers deep, data-driven insights directly from the labor market in real-time. The foundation of our system is a custom-built dataset created via an automated pipeline that crawls job portals using Playwright and leverages the Large Language Model (LLM) to intelligently structure unstructured posting data. The core of our system is a tool-augmented AI agent, based on the ReAct agentic framework, which enables the ability of autonomously reasoning, planning, and executing actions through a specialized toolbox for SQL queries, semantic search, and data visualization. Our prototype successfully collected and analyzed 3,745 job postings, demonstrating its ability to answer complex, multi-step queries, generate on-demand visualizations, and provide personalized career advice grounded in real-world data. This work introduces a new paradigm for labor market analysis, showcasing how specialized agentic AI systems can democratize access to timely, trustworthy career intelligence for the next generation of professionals.
