With the advent of the information age, the iterative speed of software update is gradually accelerating which makes software development severely limited by software testing. Test case prioritization is an effective way to accelerate software testing progress. With the introduction of heuristic algorithm to this task, the processing efficiency of test cases has been greatly improved. However, to overcome the shortcomings of slow convergence speed and easy fall into local optimum, the improved whale optimization algorithm is proposed for test case prioritization. Firstly, a model called n-dimensional directed search space is established for the swarm intelligence algorithm. Secondly, the enhanced whale optimization algorithm is applied to test case prioritization while the backtracking behavior is conducted for individuals when hitting the wall. In addition, a separate storage space for Pareto second optimization is also designed to filter the optimal solutions of the multi-objective tasks. Finally, both single-objective and multi-objective optimization experiments are carried out for open source projects and real-world projects, respectively. The results show that the improved whale optimization algorithm using n-dimensional directed search space is more conducive to the decisions of test case prioritization with fast convergence speed.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated extraordinary capabilities in natural language generation; however, their real-world deployment is frequently hindered by the generation of factually incorrect or biased content, along with an inherent deficiency in transparency. To address these critical limitations and thereby enhance the reliability and explainability of LLM outputs, this study proposes a novel integrated framework, namely the Adaptive Knowledge-Driven Correction Network (AKDC-Net), which incorporates three core algorithmic innovations. Firstly, the Hierarchical Uncertainty-Aware Bias Detector (HUABD) performs multi-level linguistic analysis (lexical, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic) and, for the first time, decomposes predictive uncertainty into epistemic and aleatoric components. This decomposition enables principled, interpretable bias detection with clear theoretical underpinnings. Secondly, the Neural-Symbolic Knowledge Graph Enhanced Corrector (NSKGEC) integrates a temporal graph neural network with a differentiable symbolic reasoning module, facilitating logically consistent and factually grounded corrections based on dynamically updated knowledge sources. Thirdly, the Contrastive Learning-driven Multimodal Explanation Generator (CLMEG) leverages a cross-modal attention mechanism within a contrastive learning paradigm to generate coherent, high-quality textual and visual explanations that enhance the interpretability of LLM outputs. Extensive evaluations were conducted on a challenging medical domain dataset to validate the effectiveness of the proposed AKDC-Net framework. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements over state-of-the-art baselines: specifically, a 14.1% increase in the F1-score for bias detection, a 19.4% enhancement in correction quality, and a 31.4% rise in user trust scores. These findings establish a new benchmark for the development of more trustworthy and transparent artificial intelligence (AI) systems, laying a solid foundation for the broader and more reliable application of LLMs in high-stakes domains.
