Digital testing has emerged as a key paradigm for the development and verification of autonomous maritime navigation systems, yet the availability of realistic and diverse safety-critical encounter scenarios remains limited. Existing approaches either rely on handcrafted templates, which lack realism, or extract cases directly from historical data, which cannot systematically expand rare high-risk situations. This paper proposes a data-driven framework that converts large-scale Automatic Identification System (AIS) trajectories into structured safety-critical encounter scenarios. The framework combines generative trajectory modeling with automated encounter pairing and temporal parameterization to enable scalable scenario construction while preserving real traffic characteristics. To enhance trajectory realism and robustness under noisy AIS observations, a multi-scale temporal variational autoencoder is introduced to capture vessel motion dynamics across different temporal resolutions. Experiments on real-world maritime traffic flows demonstrate that the proposed method improves trajectory fidelity and smoothness, maintains statistical consistency with observed data, and enables the generation of diverse safety-critical encounter scenarios beyond those directly recorded. The resulting framework provides a practical pathway for building scenario libraries to support digital testing, benchmarking, and safety assessment of autonomous navigation and intelligent maritime traffic management systems.

Dialogue topic segmentation is critical in many human-AI collaborative applications which requires identifying heterogeneous boundary cues, including lexical transitions near utterance edges and semantic discontinuities across utterances. Existing utterance models often dilute these local lexical signals. We propose CobSeg, a novel multi-branch architecture that separates coherence-level semantic continuity from lexical boundary transitions and recovers both through directional boundary prediction. CobSeg further uses boundary informativeness weighting to emphasize high-utility utterance positions, and incorporates a corpus-derived topic coherence cue with learned combination weights. While CobSeg is evaluated as a compact trainable segmenter under supervised gold-boundary training and a pseudo-label setting with automatically induced boundaries, it performs enhanced boundary prediction without LLM calls during inference. Across five benchmarks, it improves $P_k$ and $W_d$ particularly when local lexical cues are prominent: under gold supervision, it reduces $P_k$ by 0.7 points and $W_d$ by 0.6 points on VHF, and reaches $P_k$ of 1.0 on DialSeg711; with induced boundaries, it reduces $P_k$ by 14.8 points on VHF, by 1.5 points on DialSeg711, and by 1.1 points on TIAGE, outperforming prior non-LLM approaches.

Metal defect detection is critical in industrial quality assurance, yet existing methods struggle with grayscale variations and complex defect states, limiting its robustness. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a Self-Adaptive Gamma Context-Aware SSM-based model(GCM-DET). This advanced detection framework integrating a Dynamic Gamma Correction (GC) module to enhance grayscale representation and optimize feature extraction for precise defect reconstruction. A State-Space Search Management (SSM) architecture captures robust multi-scale features, effectively handling defects of varying shapes and scales. Focal Loss is employed to mitigate class imbalance and refine detection accuracy. Additionally, the CD5-DET dataset is introduced, specifically designed for port container maintenance, featuring significant grayscale variations and intricate defect patterns. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves substantial improvements, with mAP@0.5 gains of 27.6\%, 6.6\%, and 2.6\% on the CD5-DET, NEU-DET, and GC10-DET datasets.

Incorrect boundary division, complex semantic representation, and differences in pronunciation and meaning often lead to errors in Chinese Named Entity Recognition(CNER). To address these issues, this paper proposes HREB-CRF framework: Hierarchical Reduced-bias EMA with CRF. The proposed method amplifies word boundaries and pools long text gradients through exponentially fixed-bias weighted average of local and global hierarchical attention. Experimental results on the MSRA, Resume, and Weibo datasets show excellent in F1, outperforming the baseline model by 1.1\%, 1.6\%, and 9.8\%. The significant improvement in F1 shows evidences of strong effectiveness and robustness of approach in CNER tasks.
