Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9098: Pairwise Classification as a Unified Framework for Offline Reinforcement Learning and Large-Language-Model Alignment

9+ hour, 58+ min ago   (496+ words) Offline reinforcement learning (offline RL) and large-language-model (LLM) alignment are typically studied as independent domains and each has developed its own pairwise comparison technique. Prior studies have validated pairwise classification exclusively within offline RL, leaving open the question of whether it…...

Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9072: UX Design Guidelines for Teaching Procedural Knowledge in Educational VR: Medium-Specific Message Design Strategies, Learning Effects, and Consistent Improvement Across Learners

2+ day, 56+ min ago   (497+ words) Research on educational virtual reality (VR) has focused on learning outcomes, but less on the design strategies that create those outcomes or whether benefits are consistent across different learners. This study created user experience (UX) design guidelines for educational VR…...

Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9069: Empirical Static and Infrastructure Evaluation of Microservice Frameworks Across JVM, GraalVM Native Image, and Rust in Containerized Environments

2+ day, 2+ hour ago   (591+ words) Framework and runtime selection for containerized microservices are usually guided by request-level benchmarks, yet deployment-facing costs often dominate operational expenditure in Kubernetes environments. This study empirically evaluates four such infrastructure characteristics: container image size, startup time, idle resource consumption, and…...
