Faces in the crowd: Twitter as alternative to protest surveys

Who goes to protests? To answer this question, existing research has relied either on retrospective surveys of populations or in-protest surveys of participants. Both techniques are prohibitively costly and face logistical and methodologica...

Calibrated Machine Learning with Temporal Leakage Controls for Rare-Event Forecasting of Port Activity Anomalies: Evidence from Selected African Countries and Indonesia

Port activity anomalies are rare but may signal operational constraints relevant to supply chains. The aim of the study was to develop and empirically evaluate a calibrated machine learning framework for forecasting rare, algorithmically de...

Hybrid machine learning and 3D numerical modeling-based multi-objective optimization of geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported embankments

Efficient and reliable design of Geosynthetic Reinforced Pile-Supported (GRPS) embankments on soft ground remains challenging due to the complex nonlinear soil–structure interaction and the high computational cost of repeated numerical anal...

Improved railway track faults detection using Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient and constant-Q transform features

Abstract Regular inspection of the health of railway tracks is crucial to maintaining reliable and safe train operations. Some factors including cracks, rail discontinuity, ballast issues, burn wheels, super-elevation, loose nuts and bolts,...

PCPAm - A dataset of histopathological images of penile cancer for classification tasksZenodo

Penile cancer has an incidence strongly linked to sociocultural factors, being more common in underdeveloped countries like Brazil, where it represents approximately 2% of cancers affecting men. This dataset was created to address the scarc...

Predicting Urban Quality of Life Using Machine Learning on Street Images and Personal Information with Statistical Feature Selection: A Comparative Study of Bangkok and London

This study proposes a machine learning framework for predicting perceived urban quality of life (QoL) by integrating visual features from street-level imagery with personal attributes, including demographic, socioeconomic, and travel behavi...

Enhancing host-pathogen phenotyping dynamics: early detection of tomato bacterial diseases using hyperspectral point measurement and predictive modeling

Early diagnosis of plant diseases is needed to promote sustainable plant protection strategies. Applied predictive modeling over hyperspectral spectroscopy (HS) data can be an effective, fast, cost-effective approach for improving plant dis...

Learning-Aided Deep Path Prediction for Sphere Decoding in Large MIMO Systems

In this paper, we propose a novel learning-aided sphere decoding (SD) scheme for large multiple-input-multiple-output systems, namely, deep path prediction-based sphere decoding (DPP-SD). In this scheme, we employ a neural network (NN) to p...

lab2clean: a novel algorithm for automated cleaning of retrospective clinical laboratory results data for secondary uses

Abstract Background The integrity of clinical research and machine learning models in healthcare heavily relies on the quality of underlying clinical laboratory data. However, the preprocessing of this data to ensure its reliability and acc...

Surface circulation properties in the eastern Mediterranean emphasized using machine learning methods

The eastern Mediterranean surface circulation is highly energetic and composed of structures interacting stochastically. However, some main features are still debated, and the behavior of some fine-scale dynamics and their role in shaping t...

Design and Pilot Feasibility of a Low-Cost Wearable for Mexican Sign Language in Inclusive Higher Education

A substantial number of students with hearing impairments are enrolled in higher education, motivating the development of inclusive assistive technologies that reduce communication barriers. This study developed and evaluated a prototype el...

Machine Learning–Based Wear Prediction of Recycled Magnesium Matrix Composites Reinforced With Ceramic Fibers

ABSTRACT This study deals with an integrated experimental‐machine learning framework for wear estimation in functionally graded composites made from recycled magnesium machining chips, using low‐cost ceramic fibers as reinforcement with the...

Machine learning in catalysis

Machine Learning : A Probabilistic Perspective

Today's Web-enabled deluge of electronic data calls for automated methods of data analysis. Machine learning provides these, developing methods that can automatically detect patterns in data and then use the uncovered patterns to predict fu...

Machine learning in materials science

Abstract Traditional methods of discovering new materials, such as the empirical trial and error method and the density functional theory (DFT)‐based method, are unable to keep pace with the development of materials science today due to the...

Machine Learning

In machine learning, a computer first learns to perform a task by studying a training set of examples. The computer then performs the same task with data it hasn't encountered before. This article presents a brief overview of machine-learni...
