Dynamic Semantic Embedding Network (DSE-Net)

Aug 2026 · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Abstract

This paper introduces the Dynamic Semantic Embedding Network (DSE-Net), a novel approach to understanding evolving data streams. The core claim is that by integrating semantic embeddings with dynamic graph neural networks, we can achieve continuous, context-aware understanding, overcoming the limitations of static embedding models. DSE-Net employs a multi-layered architecture: a Transformer encoder for initial semantic embedding generation, a dynamic graph neural network (GNN) to model relationships within the data stream, and a reinforcement learning (RL) module to optimize the GNN's structure and parameters adaptively. Crucially, the embedding itself is updated based on the GNN's output, creating an evolving semantic representation. This approach addresses the shortcomings of existing methods, which either rely on static embeddings or static GNNs, by providing a dynamic and learning system capable of adapting to changing semantic relationships. The key innovation lies in the synergistic combination of these techniques, leading to a more robust and nuanced understanding of dynamic data. ---

Scrum in a Multiproject Environment: An Ethnographically-Inspired Case Study on the Adoption Challenges

Agile methods continue to gain popularity. In particular, the Scrum method appears to be on the verge of becoming a de-facto standard in the industry, leading the so called Agile movement. While there are success stories and recommendations, there is little scientifically valid evidence of the challenges in the adoption of Agile methods in general, and Scrum in particular. Little, if anything, is empirically known about the application and adoption of Scrum in a multi-team and multi-project situation. The authors carried out an ethnographically informed longitudinal case study in industrial settings and closely followed how the Scrum method was adopted in a 20-person department, working in a simultaneous multi-project R&D environment. Altogether 10 challenges pertinent to the case of multi-team multi-project Scrum adoption were identified in the study. The authors contend that these results carry great relevance for other industrial teams. Future research avenues arising from the study are indicated.
