Our results demonstrate that multimodality can be beneficial for polyphonic transcription—producing comparable or superior performance across all datasets tested and, in the best-performing experiments, improving the performance of the best unimodal transcription scenario by 9% on average—but its impact depends on the strategy: some fusion schemes yield consistent gains, whereas others fail to improve upon the unimodal baseline.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50737,"journal":{"name":"Applied Soft Computing","volume":"191 ","pages":"Article 114643"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146039722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate the challenges, this study considered inputs based on evidence received from experts at a prominent healthcare institution in Western Maharashtra, India.

The cause–and–effect analysis highlights the hierarchical structure of these barriers, demonstrating that addressing core technical and regulatory issues will generate positive ripple effects across user-centric and sociocultural dimensions. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, healthcare managers, and technology developers, underscoring the need for secure, interoperable, and ethically governed digital ecosystems to realize the metaverse’s transformative potential in healthcare. To enhance methodological robustness, inter-expert consistency analysis and sensitivity analysis using ±10 % variation in fuzzy membership bounds are conducted.

While ant colony optimization (ACO) has proven effective for static optimization problems, existing ACO variants have limited adaptability for dynamic multi-criteria environments.

First, this algorithm introduces an adaptive reference-guided subregion division strategy that segments the objective space based on the population’s distribution, enhancing search diversity and coverage. Additionally, a multi-directional exploration strategy is employed to explore each subregion of the decision space, enabling parallel and multi-directional exploration that accelerates convergence to the global optimal solution. Furthermore, an effective population initialization and tri-stage updating strategy are implemented to improve population diversity and enhance convergence accuracy, respectively.
