AQUAIR: A High-Resolution Indoor Environmental Quality Dataset for Smart Aquaculture MonitoringYoussef Sabiri, Walid Houmaidi, Ouail El Maadi et al.
Smart aquaculture systems depend on rich environmental data streams to protect fish welfare, optimize feeding, and reduce energy use. Yet public datasets that describe the air surrounding indoor tanks remain scarce, limiting the development of forecasting and anomaly-detection tools that couple head-space conditions with water-quality dynamics. We therefore introduce AQUAIR, an open-access public dataset that logs six Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) variables--air temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, total volatile organic compounds, PM2.5 and PM10--inside a fish aquaculture facility in Amghass, Azrou, Morocco. A single Awair HOME monitor sampled every five minutes from 14 October 2024 to 9 January 2025, producing more than 23,000 time-stamped observations that are fully quality-controlled and publicly archived on Figshare. We describe the sensor placement, ISO-compliant mounting height, calibration checks against reference instruments, and an open-source processing pipeline that normalizes timestamps, interpolates short gaps, and exports analysis-ready tables. Exploratory statistics show stable conditions (median CO2 = 758 ppm; PM2.5 = 12 micrograms/m3) with pronounced feeding-time peaks, offering rich structure for short-horizon forecasting, event detection, and sensor drift studies. AQUAIR thus fills a critical gap in smart aquaculture informatics and provides a reproducible benchmark for data-centric machine learning curricula and environmental sensing research focused on head-space dynamics in recirculating aquaculture systems.

DeepGI: Explainable Deep Learning for Gastrointestinal Image ClassificationWalid Houmaidi, Mohamed Hadadi, Youssef Sabiri et al.
This paper presents a comprehensive comparative model analysis on a novel gastrointestinal medical imaging dataset, comprised of 4,000 endoscopic images spanning four critical disease classes: Diverticulosis, Neoplasm, Peritonitis, and Ureters. Leveraging state-of-the-art deep learning techniques, the study confronts common endoscopic challenges such as variable lighting, fluctuating camera angles, and frequent imaging artifacts. The best performing models, VGG16 and MobileNetV2, each achieved a test accuracy of 96.5%, while Xception reached 94.24%, establishing robust benchmarks and baselines for automated disease classification. In addition to strong classification performance, the approach includes explainable AI via Grad-CAM visualization, enabling identification of image regions most influential to model predictions and enhancing clinical interpretability. Experimental results demonstrate the potential for robust, accurate, and interpretable medical image analysis even in complex real-world conditions. This work contributes original benchmarks, comparative insights, and visual explanations, advancing the landscape of gastrointestinal computer-aided diagnosis and underscoring the importance of diverse, clinically relevant datasets and model explainability in medical AI research.

Point Cloud to Mesh Reconstruction: A Focus on Key Learning-Based ParadigmsFatima Zahra Iguenfer, Achraf Hsain, Hiba Amissa et al.
Reconstructing meshes from point clouds is an important task in fields such as robotics, autonomous systems, and medical imaging. This survey examines state-of-the-art learning-based approaches to mesh reconstruction, categorizing them into five paradigms: PointNet family, autoencoder architectures, deformation-based methods, point-move techniques, and primitive-based approaches. Each paradigm is explored in depth, detailing the primary approaches and their underlying methodologies. By comparing these techniques, our study serves as a comprehensive guide, and equips researchers and practitioners with the knowledge to navigate the landscape of learning-based mesh reconstruction techniques. The findings underscore the transformative potential of these methods, which often surpass traditional techniques in allowing detailed and efficient reconstructions.
