TopoGeoFusion: Integrating object topology based feature computation methods into geometrical feature analysis to enhance classification performance.

This study used smartphone captured RGB images of gooseberries to automatically sort into standard, premium, or rejected categories based on topology. Main challenges addressed include, separation of touching or overlapping fruits into individual entities and new method called 'TopoGeoFusion' that combines basic geometrical features with topology aware features computed from the fruits to assess the grade or maturity. Quality assessment helps in grading the fruit to determine market suitability and intelligent camera applications.

Stochastic calculus-guided reinforcement learning: A probabilistic framework for optimal decision-making.

Stochastic Calculus-guided Reinforcement learning (SCRL) is a new way to make decisions in situations where things are uncertain. It uses mathematical principles to make better choices and improve decision-making in complex situations. SCRL works better than traditional Stochastic Reinforcement Learning (SRL) methods.

Integrating Dropout and Kullback-Leibler Regularization in Bayesian Neural Networks for improved uncertainty estimation in Regression.

The objective of the study is to enhance uncertainty prediction in regression problems by introducing a revolutionary Bayesian Neural Network (BNN) model. Experimental results reveal significant improvements in uncertainty prediction and point forecasts with the integrated BNN model compared to the plain BNN. Performance metrics, including mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and -squared (²), demonstrate superior results for the proposed BNN.

First whole genome sequencing and assembly of mutant hybrid cultivar 'Emma White'.

The hybrid cultivar 'Emma White' is an ornamental, successfully commercialised orchid. We used a gamma ray-induced early flowering mutant and the Illumina HiSeqX10 sequencing platform to generate the first draft whole genome sequence and assembly. The draft sequence was 678,650,699 bp in length, comprising 447,500 contigs with an N50 of 1423 and 33.
