Across its production, distribution, and commercialization processes, there are risks and issues that could damage the safety and authenticity of this product. Therefore, the coffee industry is looking for innovative technologies that allow traceability in the coffee supply chain. In this context, blockchain technology offers a promising solution as it supports traceability via a decentralized system that allows immutable records and transparent access; it also promotes collaborative work and removes intermediaries by generating trust between participants. This systematic literature review describes the state-of-the-art in research and development about the use of blockchain technology to improve traceability in the coffee supply chain. We also outline the open challenges that remain to be addressed in this field. We use the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology to achieve this goal. Our findings suggest that the developments are mainly conceptual designs and prototypes, focusing on tracing products and verifying their authenticity using the Ethereum or Hyperledger blockchains. Also, our results show various challenges on the technology side, like efficiency improvements, integration with other technologies, infrastructure, and a lack of standards. There are also challenges at the management level, like the necessity of agreements for traceability processes, data governance, willingness to invest and pay, education, and support to deploy the technology on farms. After overcoming these open challenges, blockchain technology can improve traceability and increase value for stakeholders in the coffee supply chain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100699,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management Data Insights","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100359"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144695251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The World Health Organization reported that depression overwhelms about 300 million people across the globe.

In the modern era of social media, individuals often reveal their emotional states by providing daily posts on platforms like X (previously Twitter) and Facebook. The information can be utilized as an essential input for determining whether a person has depression based on their writing content. The disclosure of transformer-based deep learning models provides an opportunity to use pre-trained models to successfully capture complex patterns and nuances in the textual data. This study proposes a novel depression detection method through sentiment analysis by developing a Stacking ENSemble-based Deep learning (SENSDeep) model.

In text-based information, content extraction can be used to determine the meaning and intent of the message. Therefore, this research aims to develop a novel approach for entity detection in Indonesian-language fake news texts by applying BiLSTM-CRF, BiGRU, and BERT models. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of Part-of-Speech (PoS) tagging before processing words for entity detection. Words tagged as Noun (NN) and Proper Noun (NNP) are transformed into entity labels such as ORG for organizations, PER for people, and LOC for locations. Meanwhile, words labeled as Verb (VB) are converted into the ACT entity to represent actions. Evaluations were conducted by integrating PoS tagging with entity detection using the BiLSTM-CRF model, which achieved an F1-Score of 81.26%. The BiGRU-based model achieved an F1-Score of 79.46%, while the BERT-based model achieved the highest F1-Score of 87.38%. These results demonstrate that the BERT model, when combined with PoS tagging, provides the best performance and can effectively be used to detect entities in fake news. The entity detection process was further applied to identify fake news during the 2024 Indonesian presidential and vice-presidential election period. By counting the number of mentions of each candidate and their running mate labeled as PER entities, it has result the Prabowo Subianto–Gibran Rakabuming Raka pair appeared in 49 fake news articles.

This challenge is particularly evident in e-commerce, where precise product recommendations are critical, and is further complicated by keyword stuffing in product descriptions.

BiLens leverages large language models (LLMs) to generate descriptive captions from image queries, which are transformed into word embeddings, and extracts visual features using Vision Transformers (ViT). The visual and textual representations are integrated using an early fusion strategy and compared using cosine similarity, enabling deeper contextual understanding and enhancing the accuracy and relevance of product recommendations in capturing customer intent.
