2025 Chart2Code-MoLA: Efficient Multi-Modal Code Generation via Adaptive Expert Routing
abstract
Chart-to-code generation is a critical task in automated data visualization, translating complex chart structures into executable programs. While recent Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) improve chart representation, existing approaches still struggle to achieve cross-type generalization, memory efficiency, and modular design. To address these challenges, this paper proposes C2C-MolA, a multimodal framework that synergizes Mixture of Experts (MoE) with Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA). The MoE component uses a complexity-aware routing mechanism with domain-specialized experts and load-balanced sparse gating, dynamically allocating inputs based on learnable structural metrics like element count and chart complexity. LoRA enables parameter-efficient updates for resource-conscious tuning, further supported by a tailored training strategy that aligns routing stability with semantic accuracy. Experiments on Chart2Code-160k show that the proposed model improves generation accuracy by up to 17%, reduces peak GPU memory by 18%, and accelerates convergence by 20%, when compared to standard fine-tuning and LoRAonly baselines, particularly on complex charts. Ablation studies validate optimal designs, such as 8 experts and rank-8 LoRA, and confirm scalability for real-world multimodal code generation.

2025 StuLAC: An Adaptive LLM-Driven Framework for Scalable Student Feedback Analysis in Software-Driven Educational Systems
abstract
With the growing scalability challenges in higher education, automated student feedback analysis has become crucial for course evaluation and pedagogical improvements. However, traditional methods struggle to handle mixed sentiments, adapt to evolving feedback trends, and maintain computational efficiency. To address these challenges, we propose StuLAC, a Software Engineering-driven framework that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with Adaptive Template-Based Caching (ATC). StuLAC employs hierarchical matching for fine-grained classification and dynamically updates feedback templates through context-aware cache refinement. Empirical results on 80,000 student feedback entries demonstrate that StuLAC-generated summaries improve overall quality by 10.5% compared to manually generated reports, while also achieving faster processing times. Additionally, StuLAC attains an 86.4% accuracy and an 86.24% F1-score in sentiment detection. StuLAC’s Feedback Summary Generation provides actionable insights that enhance data-driven decision-making in educational settings. These findings establish StuLAC as a scalable and adaptive solution for improving AI-driven educational feedback systems.

2025 Multi-Strategy Enhanced COA for Path Planning in Autonomous Navigation
abstract
Autonomous navigation is reshaping various domains in people’s life by enabling safe and efficient movement in complex environments. Reliable navigation requires path planning algorithms that compute optimal or near-optimal trajectories while satisfying task-specific constraints and ensuring obstacle avoidance. However, existing algorithms struggle with slow convergence and suboptimal solutions, particularly in complex environments, limiting their real-world applicability. To address these limitations, this paper presents the Multi-Strategy Enhanced Crayfish Optimization Algorithm (MCOA), a novel approach integrating three strategies: 1) Refractive Learning to enhance diversity and global exploration, 2) Stochastic Centroid-Guided Exploration to balance global and local search, and 3) Adaptive Competition-Based Selection to accelerate convergence and improve solution quality. Experimental results show that MCOA significantly improves the performance of 3D UAV path planning, reducing computation time by 69.2% and trajectory cost by 67.0% compared to 11 baseline algorithms, which demonstrates its effectiveness in autonomous navigation within complex environments.
