In this paper, we present a method of kernel optimization by maximizing a measure of class separability in the empirical feature space, an Euclidean space in which the training data are embedded in such a way that the geometrical structure of the data in the feature space is preserved. Employing a data-dependent kernel, we derive an effective kernel optimization algorithm that maximizes the class separability of the data in the empirical feature space. It is shown that there exists a close relationship between the class separability measure introduced here and the alignment measure defined recently by Cristianini. Extensive simulations are carried out which show that the optimized kernel is more adaptive to the input data, and leads to a substantial, sometimes significant, improvement in the performance of various data classification algorithms.

Municipal waste classification is significant for effective recycling and waste management processes that involve the classification of diverse municipal waste materials such as paper, glass, plastic, and organic matter using diverse techniques. Yet, this municipal waste classification process faces several challenges, such as high computational complexity, more time consumption, and high variability in the appearance of waste caused by variations in color, type, and degradation level, which makes an inaccurate waste classification process. To overcome these challenges, this research proposes a novel Channel and Spatial Attention-Based Multiblock Convolutional Network for accurately classifying municipal waste that utilizes a unique attention mechanism for enhancing feature learning and waste classification accuracy.

Lymphoma is a malignant cancer characterized by a rapidly increasing incidence, complex etiology, and lack of obvious early symptoms. Efficient theranostics of lymphoma is of great significance in improving patient outcomes, empowering informed decision-making, and driving medical innovation. Herein, we developed a multifunctional nanoplatform for precise optical imaging and therapy of lymphoma based on a new photosensitizer (1-oxo-1-benzoo[de]anthracene-2,3-dicarbonitrile-triphenylamine (OBADC-TPA)).

Efficient and reliable corn ( L.) yield prediction is important for varietal selection by plant breeders and management decision-making by growers. Unlike prior studies that focus mainly on county-level or controlled laboratory-scale areas, this study targets a production-scale area, better representing real-world agricultural conditions and offering more practical relevance for farmers.

With the proliferation of mobile terminals and the rapid growth of network applications, fine-grained traffic identification has become increasingly challenging. Methods based on machine learning and deep learning have achieved remarkable results, but they heavily rely on the distribution of training data, which makes them ineffective in handling unseen samples. In this paper, we propose AG-ZSL, a zero-shot learning framework based on traffic behavior and attribute representations for general encrypted traffic classification.

Green infrastructure (GI) plays a crucial role in sustainable urban development, but effective mapping and analysis of such features requires a detailed understanding of the materials and state-of-the-art methods. This review presents the current landscape of green infrastructure mapping, focusing on the various sensors and image data, as well as the application of machine learning and deep learning techniques for classification or segmentation tasks. After finding articles with relevant keywords, the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes) method was used as a general workflow, but some parts were automated (e.
