Legacy modernization breaks business logic. Most tools and LLM-based approaches treat modernization as syntax translation, losing implicit rules, edge-case handling, and cross-module constraints. We present AgentModernize, a multi-agent framework that treats modernization as a behavioral preservation problem. Four specialized agents handle extraction, specification, code generation, and validation. The key intermediate artifact -- a Behavioral Specification Graph (BSG) -- forces extracted business logic to be explicit and inspectable before any code is generated. We evaluated on LegacyModernize-8, eight scenarios spanning telecom and banking, using three models (GPT-4o-mini, GPT-4o, GPT-5.3-codex) under a fair protocol: same gold-standard tests, 3 trials, temperature 0.0. Full AgentModernize with feedback was the only configuration with non-zero mean BER under every backbone. SP-LLM and CoT-LLM scored 0.0% on every scenario, on every backbone. AgentModernize without feedback scored 0.0% mean BER with GPT-4o-mini and GPT-5.3-codex; under GPT-4o it achieved non-zero BER only on S1 (44.4%; 5.6% mean over scenarios). Mean BER for full AgentModernize was 9.4% (mini), 8.1% (GPT-4o), and 19.4% (codex). The BSG captures 91.2% of gold-standard rules, confirming that the bottleneck is code generation, not extraction.

Drowsiness can put lives of many drivers and workers in danger. It is important to design practical and easy-to-deploy real-world systems to detect the onset of drowsiness.In this paper, we address early drowsiness detection, which can provide early alerts and offer subjects ample time to react. We present a large and public real-life dataset of 60 subjects, with video segments labeled as alert, low vigilant, or drowsy. This dataset consists of around 30 hours of video, with contents ranging from subtle signs of drowsiness to more obvious ones. We also benchmark a temporal model for our dataset, which has low computational and storage demands. The core of our proposed method is a Hierarchical Multiscale Long Short-Term Memory (HM-LSTM) network, that is fed by detected blink features in sequence. Our experiments demonstrate the relationship between the sequential blink features and drowsiness. In the experimental results, our baseline method produces higher accuracy than human judgment.
