Heuristic Sonification Methods for Electromagnetic Signals Report

Abstract

Sonification algorithms convert information to audible representations. The 2025 Seed Money project “Exploring Electromagnetic Signals through Sonification” seeks to create machine-learning based methods to convert electromagnetic signals to sound for human interpretation. However, as a precursor to ML-based methods, some heuristic methods have been investigated in preparation for the seed project. This report covers some example methods, applied to the “Flaming Moes” dataset of unintended radiative emissions (URE), with some simple metrics to study the device discrimination properties of the sonification as well as the “pleasantness” of the methods.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
