Item type:Publication, Optimizing document retrieval using massive text embeddings and LLM prompt engineering(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2026-04-14) ;Mitrov, Goran ;Stanoev, Boris; ; Kampel, MartinBackground The rapid expansion of digital data poses a unique challenge for retrieving relevant and insightful information efficiently. In particular, the increasing volume of scientific publications has made literature reviews time-consuming. The emergence of large language models (LLMs) offers new opportunities to streamline this process. Methods This paper explores the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) for query reformulation and evaluates the performance of nine massive text embedding models, varying in size and fine-tuning strategies, in the context of document retrieval. We apply multiple prompt engineering techniques to evaluate the ability of LLMs to generate effective queries, comparing them with human-crafted queries. These are used to retrieve documents utilizing nine embedding models. The evaluation is across five datasets using metrics such as recall, average precision, and rank-based measures. Results Results show that embedding models fine-tuned for semantic similarity consistently outperform general-purpose models, with UAE Large proving most robust across diverse domains. Furthermore, queries generated using zero-shot and few-shot prompting techniques often surpass the performance of human-formulated queries. Conclusion These findings highlight the value of integrating LLMs and massive text embeddings to reduce manual effort in literature reviews. GenAI provides a reliable starting point for query formulation, with human input reserved for refinement when needed. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Scoping Review of Technology Enabled Healthcare Integration - Towards Sustainable Care(IEEE, 2025-06-16) ;Loncar-Turukalo, Tatjana; ;Madevska Bogdanova, Ana ;Solarevic, MilicaLehocki, FedorTechnology serves as a relevant facilitator in integration of care, supporting healthcare across many pillars, such as diagnoses, drug-development, administration and coordination of services, but as well playing a pivotal role in disease prevention and pervasive health monitoring. This study presents the scoping review of the literature corpus related to technology trends supporting healthcare integration. The study explores 5 digital libraries from major publishers, aiming to identify changes in research trends in the decade from 2014 to 2024, and investigate which implementation challenges, barriers and risks present the major focus in healthcare integration. In total 14721 relevant studies were identified and included in collating and summarizing of the results in this work. The study shows that there is a triple increase in the number of studies from 2020 onwards, mainly focused on technology and implementation challenges. The main topic of the studies shifts from Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) until 2019 to AI in healthcare, which gained its momentum by continual advances in AI performance across different tasks. Enhanced health care, holistic care and patient experience are the most targeted benefits and opportunities of integrated care, while security and privacy of health related data remain the main concerns and playground for further research. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Virtual reality as a learning tool: Evaluating the use and effectiveness of simulation laboratories in educational settings(Elsevier BV, 2025-01-01) ;Dodevska, Mila; ; ;Branco, FredericoVirtual Reality Laboratories (VRLs) are essential progress towards educational solutions that would allow students to learn the sometimes complex experimental processes without spending physical resources. The resources used in some experiments often require significant procurement effort, significantly impacting the environment where an experiment would be conducted. The main focus of this research is to review the possibility of using VR solutions as educational tools and innovative approaches to scientific knowledge production. This paper systematically reviews relevant publications in this area while covering several existing virtual lab solutions. The analysis shows that VRL tools can be effectively used for educational purposes, allow access to lab resources for people with disabilities, and could be used to reach the desired learning outcomes. A gap exists between natural laboratories and VRLs, especially in the collaborative aspect of the laboratory exercises. However, there is significant ongoing research on this topic and a high potential for development. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
