Abstract:PRISM unifies Large Language Models with Model-Driven Engineering to generate regulator-ready artifacts and machine-checkable evidence for safety- and compliance-critical domains. PRISM integrates three pillars: a Unified Meta-Model (UMM) reconciles heterogeneous schemas and regulatory text into a single semantic space; an Integrated Constraint Model (ICM) compiles structural and semantic requirements into enforcement artifacts including generation-time automata (GBNF, DFA) and post-generation validators (e.g., SHACL, SMT); and Constraint-Guided Verifiable Generation (CVG) applies these through two-layer enforcement - structural constraints drive prefix-safe decoding while semantic/logical validation produces machine-checkable certificates. When violations occur, PRISM performs audit-guided repair and records generation traces for compliance review. We evaluate PRISM in automotive software engineering (AUTOSAR) and cross-border legal jurisdiction (Brussels I bis). PRISM produces structurally valid, auditable artifacts that integrate with existing tooling and substantially reduce manual remediation effort, providing a practical path toward automated artifact generation with built-in assurance.



Abstract:During natural disasters, aircraft and satellites are used to survey the impacted regions. Usually human experts are needed to manually label the degrees of the building damage so that proper humanitarian assistance and disaster response (HADR) can be achieved, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Expecting human labeling of major disasters over a wide area gravely slows down the HADR efforts. It is thus of crucial interest to take advantage of the cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques to speed up the natural infrastructure damage assessment process to achieve effective HADR. Accordingly, the paper demonstrates a systematic effort to achieve efficient building damage classification. First, two novel generative adversarial nets (GANs) are designed to augment data used to train the deep-learning-based classifier. Second, a contrastive learning based method using novel data structures is developed to achieve great performance. Third, by using information fusion, the classifier is effectively trained with very few training data samples for transfer learning. All the classifiers are small enough to be loaded in a smart phone or simple laptop for first responders. Based on the available overhead imagery dataset, results demonstrate data and computational efficiency with 10% of the collected data combined with a GAN reducing the time of computation from roughly half a day to about 1 hour with roughly similar classification performances.
