Challenges in OpenSet Learning of Neural Networks

Péter Bán, László Kovács
Standard neural network classifiers assume a closed-world setting, where all test-time classes are known during training. In practice, models often face samples from unseen classes, a challenge known as open-set recognition. We investigate and compare two approaches: OpenMax, which fits a Weibull distribution...

Attribute-Based Multi-Filter Bloom Tabu Search for Evaluation-Limited Flexible Flowshop Scheduling

Levente Áron Fazekas, Károly Nehéz
Tabu search relies on memory to prevent cycling and encourage the exploration of new regions of the search space. In many implementations, however, tabu memory is treated mainly as an implementation detail. Classical tabu lists store complete solutions or moves and identify only exact repetitions. For...

Vibe Coding Principles

Six Principles for Responsible AI-Assisted Programming

Gábor Kusper
Vibe coding has become a recognizable label for conversational, flow-oriented AI-assisted programming. It promises speed, experimentation, and a strong sense of creative momentum, yet it also weakens direct code comprehension and can hide assumptions, risks, and architectural debt. This article proposes...
