Item type:Publication, A Novel Ethical Design Framework Applied to Image Classification Challenges in the Fashion Industry(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2025) ;Guillen Alvarez, Luis; As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to play a pivotal role in image classification applications, the ethical implications of these technologies become increasingly significant. This paper explores the intersection of AI and ethics in the context of image classification, specifically focusing on the application of ethical design principles through a framework for a use of case in the fashion industry involving bags images and social media. This work delves into the integration of a comprehensive ethical framework around all the design process. The case study involves the development and implementation of a neural network tailored for bag image classification, leveraging transfer learning techniques. Through a meticulous examination of the ethical dimensions inherent in image classification, the study aims to establish a foundation for responsible and transparent AI practices. ©The authors ©Springer. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Assessing AI-Generated Legal Reasoning: A Benchmark for Legal Text Quality from Literature Review(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2025); The adoption of Large Language Models in law has sparked debate over how best to evaluate AI-generated legal reasoning. Existing benchmarks focus on surface-level accuracy, overlooking deeper dimensions such as argumentative coherence, practical usability, and alignment with jurisprudential values. This paper provides a comprehensive framework that integrates insights from formalism, interpretivism, realism, and argumentation theory to assess legal AI outputs. We first explore the philosophical foundations of legal reasoning, drawing on MacCormick’s concepts of internal and external justification and Perelman’s notions of audience-centered persuasion to highlight the rhetorical and moral dimensions essential for evaluation. Next, we examine structured approaches to evaluation from related fields before showing why existing benchmarks (e.g., LexGLUE, LegalBench, LegalAgentBench) only partially capture the subtleties of legal reasoning. We also contrast common law and civil law traditions to illustrate how a one-size-fits-all approach neglects the distinct roles of precedent versus codified statutes. Building on these theoretical and comparative insights, we propose a three-stage evaluation methodology that begins with automated screening for factual consistency, proceeds to expert-led rubric assessment across five dimensions (Accuracy, Reasoning, Clarity, Usefulness, and Safety), and concludes with iterative refinement through reliability checks. This structured approach, validated through a pilot study, aims to strike a balance between scalability and nuance, equipping researchers and practitioners with a robust tool for assessing AI-generated legal texts. Unifying theoretical rigor, domain-specific practicality, and cross-jurisdictional adaptability, this framework lays a solid foundation for legal AI benchmarks and paves the way for safer, more transparent deployment of AI in law. ©The authors ©Springer. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Preface : Machine Learning Methods in Biomedical Field Computer-Aided Diagnostics, Healthcare and Biology Applications(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2026); ; ; ;Gomez-Coronel, Sandra L.Renza Torres, DiegoThis book presents a multidisciplinary collection of machine learning approaches applied to the biomedical field, with a focus on computer-aided diagnostic systems, healthcare support tools, biological applications, and sustainable development in health. Computer-aided diagnostic systems leverage machine learning methods to support medical diagnosis, while healthcare support tools, biological applications, and sustainability-oriented studies aim to improve patients’ quality of life, propose innovative solutions to biological challenges, and incorporate sustainability into healthcare processes. The contributions in this book offer readers a holistic view of new methods used to address current biomedical challenges in medicine, biology, and health sciences. By applying artificial intelligence algorithms, mathematical theories, and emergent systems, these works demonstrate how such approaches can improve specific problems or propose innovative solutions. This book is valuable for readers interested in recent advances in machine learning for diagnostic systems, healthcare applications, biological research, and sustainability-related issues. ©The authors ©Springer. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Causal Artificial Intelligence in Legal Language Processing: A Systematic Review(MDPI, 2025); Recent advances in legal language processing have highlighted limitations in correlation-based artificial intelligence approaches, prompting exploration of Causal Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques for improved legal reasoning. This systematic review examines the challenges, limitations, and potential impact of Causal AI in legal language processing compared to traditional correlation-based methods. Following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, we analyzed 47 papers from 2017 to 2024 across academic databases, private sector publications, and policy documents, evaluating their contributions through a rigorous scoring framework assessing Causal AI implementation, legal relevance, interpretation capabilities, and methodological quality. Our findings reveal that while Causal AI frameworks demonstrate superior capability in capturing legal reasoning compared to correlation-based methods, significant challenges remain in handling legal uncertainty, computational scalability, and potential algorithmic bias. The scarcity of comprehensive real-world implementations and overemphasis on transformer architectures without causal reasoning capabilities represent critical gaps in current research. Future development requires balanced integration of AI innovation with law’s narrative functions, particularly focusing on scalable architectures for maintaining causal coherence while preserving interpretability in legal analysis. ©The authors ©Entropy ©MDPI. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Orthosis Control Based on Electromyographic Signals and Machine Learning(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2025) ;Escobedo-Gordillo, Andrés ;Díaz, Fernando ;Villa, Jesús ;Sepúlveda, MiguelGarcía-Casas, SebastiánThe human hand is indispensable for daily activities, and those who suffer from dysfunction due to strokes or accidents often require therapy to improve their condition. This study has developed a hand orthosis that uses surface Electromyographic (sEMG) signals and machine learning to address therapeutic needs and improve the quality of life for individuals with reduced motor skills in their hands and/or wrists. While current orthoses meet therapy requirements, they do not incorporate machine learning (ML) or sEMG sensors to optimize performance and accessibility. This chapter describes a remote-controlled, electro-mechanical orthosis that can replicate six basic movements of the human hand using three sEMG channels and ML. Our dataset of 14,400 samples, each labeled with a hand gesture, was generated by eight participants. The orthosis is comfortable and customizable for different users, as shown in prototype testing. The convolutional neural network (CNN) used achieves an accuracy of 90.38% with an inference time of 1.515 ms. Therefore, this orthosis system has significant potential for further development and practical application in patients who require such intervention. ©The authors ©Springer. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
