This paper is related to the problem of natural language processing (NLP), namely the named entity recognition (NER). This paper reveals the features of named entities recognition in English texts using deep learning (DL). The peculiarity of the study was the rather long length of the presented named entities: many of them could include a rather large number of words. The main problem was the amount of text that had to be recognized as a single entity. The results of the research are described here show the effectiveness of using deep neural network architectures for the task of recognizing long named entities in texts in English.

This study investigates the robustness of mean-based and median-based methods for estimating the anomalous diffusion (AnDi) exponent in particle trajectories. AnDi, observed in heterogeneous environments, presents challenges due to the presence of outliers that inevitably arise during the segmentation of trajectories into homogeneous sections. We focus on short trajectories modeled by two-dimensional fractional Brownian motion and explore alternative strategies for robust estimation. Specifically, we propose an adaptation of the time-averaged mean square displacement method that uses the median (or quantile) instead of the mean, as well as a mean-based approach that trims extreme squared displacements. Experiments conducted on synthetic datasets with controlled outlier characteristics, as well as on segmented trajectories from a benchmark dataset of the 2nd AnDi challenge, reveal that although median- and quantile-based methods effectively suppress high-variance outliers, they incur larger estimation errors compared to mean-based methods. In contrast, a mean-based method that trims a fixed percentage of the largest squared displacements achieves an improved balance between robustness and accuracy. Furthermore, our results suggest a critical strategy for segmenting heterogeneous trajectories: under conditions of uncertainty, ambiguous sections should be associated with segments exhibiting higher variance. This approach minimizes the influence of outliers on diffusion parameter estimation.

The analysis of anomalous diffusion characteristics within single-particle tracking data is a key problem in several applied-science domains, including biosignal processing, bioinformatics, and biotechnology. This task becomes particularly challenging in the presence of short trajectories, localization errors, and non-ergodicity, features that are common in real experimental data. To address these limitations, this work proposes an approach that improves the robustness and accuracy of estimating the anomalous diffusion exponent α, even for very short trajectories of up to 10 points. The approach includes an ensemble-based variance estimation of the exponent α, along with a bias correction based on time–ensemble averaged mean squared displacement, which reduces the systematic bias. These components integrate well into neural network architectures and are suitable for analyzing experimental trajectories in biotechnology and bioprocess engineering applications.

Neural networks have shown excellent performance in the task of estimating the Hurst exponent, but their primary drawback is a lack of interpretability. We introduce a specialized neural network layer to address this. This layer is an implementation of the second-order generalized Hurst exponent method, designed as a non-trainable, differentiable layer compatible with any deep learning framework. We have implemented it for both TensorFlow and PyTorch. The layer also seamlessly handles missing values, which facilitates its integration into complex neural network architectures designed for analyzing heterogeneous trajectories. Our differentiable Hurst exponent estimation layer offers simplicity in deployment, as it eliminates the need for training and is ready to process time series of any length. While the convenience of not requiring training and its flexibility with series length are clear advantages, the key novelty of our work is the ability to provide interpretability by successfully translating a classical statistical method into a core deep learning component.

This paper introduces Fuzzy-Adapter, a PEFT method for efficiently adapting Vision Transformers (ViT) under resource constraints. The approach replaces standard ReLU activations with trainable Gaussian membership functions to improve uncertainty modelling. Experimental results on the CIFAR-10 dataset with DeiT Tiny show that Fuzzy-Adapter achieves 92.6% accuracy, significantly outperforming the ReLU-based adapter (90.2%) and the baseline (85.7%). The findings suggest that integrating neuro-fuzzy logic into bottleneck architecture enhances model adaptability and performance in data-limited environments
