AI-for-Science (AI4Science) is increasingly transforming scientific discovery by embedding machine learning models into prediction, simulation, and hypothesis generation workflows across domains. However, the effectiveness of these models is fundamentally constrained by the AI-readiness of scientific data, for which no scalable and systematic evaluation mechanism currently exists. In this work, we propose SciHorizon-DataEVA, a novel agentic system to scalable AI-readiness evaluation of heterogeneous scientific data. At the evaluation-criteria level, we introduce the Sci-TQA2 principles, which organize AI-readiness into four complementary dimensions: Governance Trustworthiness, Data Quality, AI Compatibility, and Scientific Adaptability. Each dimension is decomposed into measurable atomic elements that enable fine-grained and executable assessment. To operationalize these principles at scale, we develop Sci-TQA2-Eval, a hierarchical multi-agent evaluation approach orchestrated through a directed, cyclic workflow. Our Sci-TQA2-Eval dynamically constructs dataset-aware evaluation specifications by combining lightweight dataset profiling, applicability-aware metric activation, and knowledge-augmented planning grounded in domain constraints and dataset-paper signals. These specifications are executed through an adaptive, tool-centric evaluation mechanism with built-in verification and self-correction, enabling scalable and reliable assessment across heterogeneous scientific data. Extensive experiments on scientific datasets spanning multiple domains demonstrate the effectiveness and generality of SciHorizon-DataEVA for principled AI-readiness evaluation.

This paper builds upon an existing speech emotion recognition model by adding an additional LSTM layer to improve the accuracy and processing efficiency of emotion recognition from audio data. By capturing the long-term dependencies within audio sequences through a dual-layer LSTM network, the model can recognize and classify complex emotional patterns more accurately. Experiments conducted on the RAVDESS dataset validated this approach, showing that the modified dual layer LSTM model improves accuracy by 2% compared to the single-layer LSTM while significantly reducing recognition latency, thereby enhancing real-time performance. These results indicate that the dual-layer LSTM architecture is highly suitable for handling emotional features with long-term dependencies, providing a viable optimization for speech emotion recognition systems. This research provides a reference for practical applications in fields like intelligent customer service, sentiment analysis and human-computer interaction.

Image classification is a fundamental task in computer vision with diverse applications, ranging from autonomous systems to medical imaging. The CIFAR-10 dataset is a widely used benchmark to evaluate the performance of classification models on small-scale, multi-class datasets. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have demonstrated state-of-the-art results; however, they often suffer from overfitting and suboptimal feature representation when applied to challenging datasets like CIFAR-10. In this paper, we propose an enhanced CNN architecture that integrates deeper convolutional blocks, batch normalization, and dropout regularization to achieve superior performance. The proposed model achieves a test accuracy of 84.95%, outperforming baseline CNN architectures. Through detailed ablation studies, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the enhancements and analyze the hierarchical feature representations. This work highlights the potential of refined CNN architectures for tackling small-scale image classification problems effectively.
