Data-driven casting defect prediction model for sand casting based on random forest classification algorithm

The complex sand-casting process combined with the interactions between process parameters makes it difficult to control the casting quality,resulting in a high scrap rate.A strategy based on a data-driven model was proposed to reduce casting defects and improve production efficiency,which includes the random forest(RF)classification model,the feature importance analysis,and the process parameters optimization with Monte Carlo simulation.The collected data includes four types of defects and corresponding process parameters were used to construct the RF model.Classification results show a recall rate above 90% for all categories.The Gini Index was used to assess the importance of the process parameters in the formation of various defects in the RF model.Finally,the classification model was applied to different production conditions for quality prediction.In the case of process parameters optimization for gas porosity defects,this model serves as an experimental process in the Monte Carlo method to estimate a better temperature distribution.The prediction model,when applied to the factory,greatly improved the efficiency of defect detection.Results show that the scrap rate decreased from 10.16% to 6.68%.

A Study on the Explainability of Thyroid Cancer Prediction:SHAP Values and Association-Rule Based Feature Integration Framework

In the era of advanced machine learning techniques,the development of accurate predictive models for complex medical conditions,such as thyroid cancer,has shown remarkable progress.Accurate predictivemodels for thyroid cancer enhance early detection,improve resource allocation,and reduce overtreatment.However,the widespread adoption of these models in clinical practice demands predictive performance along with interpretability and transparency.This paper proposes a novel association-rule based feature-integratedmachine learning model which shows better classification and prediction accuracy than present state-of-the-artmodels.Our study also focuses on the application of SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)values as a powerful tool for explaining thyroid cancer prediction models.In the proposed method,the association-rule based feature integration framework identifies frequently occurring attribute combinations in the dataset.The original dataset is used in trainingmachine learning models,and further used in generating SHAP values fromthesemodels.In the next phase,the dataset is integrated with the dominant feature sets identified through association-rule based analysis.This new integrated dataset is used in re-training the machine learning models.The new SHAP values generated from these models help in validating the contributions of feature sets in predicting malignancy.The conventional machine learning models lack interpretability,which can hinder their integration into clinical decision-making systems.In this study,the SHAP values are introduced along with association-rule based feature integration as a comprehensive framework for understanding the contributions of feature sets inmodelling the predictions.The study discusses the importance of reliable predictive models for early diagnosis of thyroid cancer,and a validation framework of explainability.The proposed model shows an accuracy of 93.48%.Performance metrics such as precision,recall,F1-score,and the area under the receiver operating characteristic(AUROC)are also higher than the baseline models.The results of the proposed model help us identify the dominant feature sets that impact thyroid cancer classification and prediction.The features{calcification}and{shape}consistently emerged as the top-ranked features associated with thyroid malignancy,in both association-rule based interestingnessmetric values and SHAPmethods.The paper highlights the potential of the rule-based integrated models with SHAP in bridging the gap between the machine learning predictions and the interpretability of this prediction which is required for real-world medical applications.

Groundwater level prediction of landslide based on classification and regression tree

According to groundwater level monitoring data of Shuping landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area, based on the response relationship between influential factors such as rainfall and reservoir level and the change of groundwater level, the influential factors of groundwater level were selected. Then the classification and regression tree（CART） model was constructed by the subset and used to predict the groundwater level. Through the verification, the predictive results of the test sample were consistent with the actually measured values, and the mean absolute error and relative error is 0.28 m and 1.15%respectively. To compare the support vector machine（SVM） model constructed using the same set of factors, the mean absolute error and relative error of predicted results is 1.53 m and 6.11% respectively. It is indicated that CART model has not only better fitting and generalization ability, but also strong advantages in the analysis of landslide groundwater dynamic characteristics and the screening of important variables. It is an effective method for prediction of ground water level in landslides.

Reversible Data Hiding in Encrypted Images Based on Prediction and Adaptive Classification Scrambling

Reversible data hiding in encrypted images(RDH-EI)technology is widely used in cloud storage for image privacy protection.In order to improve the embedding capacity of the RDH-EI algorithm and the security of the encrypted images,we proposed a reversible data hiding algorithm for encrypted images based on prediction and adaptive classification scrambling.First,the prediction error image is obtained by a novel prediction method before encryption.Then,the image pixel values are divided into two categories by the threshold range,which is selected adaptively according to the image content.Multiple high-significant bits of pixels within the threshold range are used for embedding data and pixel values outside the threshold range remain unchanged.The optimal threshold selected adaptively ensures the maximum embedding capacity of the algorithm.Moreover,the security of encrypted images can be improved by the combination of XOR encryption and classification scrambling encryption since the embedded data is independent of the pixel position.Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method has higher embedding capacity compared with the current state-of-the-art methods for images with different texture complexity.

Classification and Prediction on Rural Property Mortgage Data with Three Data Mining Methods

The Farmers Property Mortgage Policy is a strategic financial policy in western China, a relatively underdeveloped region. Many contradictions and conflicts exist in the process between the strong demand for the loans by farmers and the strict risk control by the financial institutions. The rural finance corporations should use scientific analysis and investigation of the potential households for overall evaluation of the customers. These include historical credit rating, present family situation, and other related information. Three different data mining methods were applied in this paper to the specifically-collected household data. The objective was to study which factor could be the most important in determining loan demand for households, and in the meanwhile, to classify and predict the possibility of loan demand for the potential customers. The results obtained from the three methods indicated the similar outputs, income level, land area, the way of loan, and the understanding of policy were four main factors which decided the probability of one specific farmer applying for a credit loan. The results also embodied the difference within the three methods for classifying and predicting the loan anticipation for the testing households. The artificial neural network model had the highest accuracy of 91.4 which is better than the other two methods.

Groutability classification of granular soils with cement grouts

This research aims to develop a methodology for applying the geostatistical method to generate a groutability classification for granular soils.To ensure the precision of the suggested technique,a total of 103 data samples were used.Predicting the groutability of granular soils has always been difficult because of many soil characteristics.As a result,a new two-dimensional graph,the groutability classification of granular soil(GCS)chart,was developed.GCS establishment was based on data analysis of the grain size of soil and cement-based grouts(N1 and N2),relative density(Dr)and fines content of the soil(FC),water/cement ratio of grout mixture(w/c),and grouting pressure(P),all of which have a direct impact on the groutability of soil media.The geostatistical method was used to develop and compile the GCS graph based on the aforementioned parameters with the use of coefficient S,which is a coefficient of the scoring set of parameters including P,w/c,Dr,and FC.The validation process was carried out hierarchically,with an additional set of 30 data.The proposed method has a prediction accuracy of roughly 96.7%,demonstrating a helpful tool.The proposed approach can be easily implemented in practical engineering situations because it has a comparable syntax to commonly used formulae.It should be noted that the proposed formula was only tested using the data samples collected,and the applicability of the produced procedure to other situations requires more examination.

Image Emotion Classification Network Based on Multilayer Attentional Interaction,Adaptive Feature Aggregation

The image emotion classification task aims to use the model to automatically predict the emotional response of people when they see the image.Studies have shown that certain local regions are more likely to inspire an emotional response than the whole image.However,existing methods perform poorly in predicting the details of emotional regions and are prone to overfitting during training due to the small size of the dataset.Therefore,this study proposes an image emotion classification network based on multilayer attentional interaction and adaptive feature aggregation.To perform more accurate emotional region prediction,this study designs a multilayer attentional interaction module.The module calculates spatial attention maps for higher-layer semantic features and fusion features through amultilayer shuffle attention module.Through layer-by-layer up-sampling and gating operations,the higher-layer features guide the lower-layer features to learn,eventually achieving sentiment region prediction at the optimal scale.To complement the important information lost by layer-by-layer fusion,this study not only adds an intra-layer fusion to the multilayer attention interaction module but also designs an adaptive feature aggregation module.The module uses global average pooling to compress spatial information and connect channel information from all layers.Then,the module adaptively generates a set of aggregated weights through two fully connected layers to augment the original features of each layer.Eventually,the semantics and details of the different layers are aggregated through gating operations and residual connectivity to complement the lost information.To reduce overfitting on small datasets,the network is pre-trained on the FI dataset,and further weight fine-tuning is performed on the small dataset.The experimental results on the FI,Twitter I and Emotion ROI(Region of Interest)datasets show that the proposed network exceeds existing image emotion classification methods,with accuracies of 90.27%,84.66%and 84.96%.

Reinforcing Artificial Neural Networks through Traditional Machine Learning Algorithms for Robust Classification of Cancer

Machine Learning(ML)-based prediction and classification systems employ data and learning algorithms to forecast target values.However,improving predictive accuracy is a crucial step for informed decision-making.In the healthcare domain,data are available in the form of genetic profiles and clinical characteristics to build prediction models for complex tasks like cancer detection or diagnosis.Among ML algorithms,Artificial Neural Networks(ANNs)are considered the most suitable framework for many classification tasks.The network weights and the activation functions are the two crucial elements in the learning process of an ANN.These weights affect the prediction ability and the convergence efficiency of the network.In traditional settings,ANNs assign random weights to the inputs.This research aims to develop a learning system for reliable cancer prediction by initializing more realistic weights computed using a supervised setting instead of random weights.The proposed learning system uses hybrid and traditional machine learning techniques such as Support Vector Machine(SVM),Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA),Random Forest(RF),k-Nearest Neighbour(kNN),and ANN to achieve better accuracy in colon and breast cancer classification.This system computes the confusion matrix-based metrics for traditional and proposed frameworks.The proposed framework attains the highest accuracy of 89.24 percent using the colon cancer dataset and 72.20 percent using the breast cancer dataset,which outperforms the other models.The results show that the proposed learning system has higher predictive accuracies than conventional classifiers for each dataset,overcoming previous research limitations.Moreover,the proposed framework is of use to predict and classify cancer patients accurately.Consequently,this will facilitate the effective management of cancer patients.

A new empirical chart for rockburst analysis in tunnelling:Tunnel rockburst classification(TRC)

Rockburst is defined as a phenomenon with immediate dynamic instability under excavation unloading conditions of deep or high geostress areas.Inadequate knowledge and lack of characterizing information prevent engineers and experts from achieving appropriate prediction results related to the rockburst behaviour.In this study,a data set including 220 rockburst instances was collected for rockburst classification via the geostatistical method.An update of the 2D graph,the tunnel rockburst classification(TRC)chart,was introduced based on analysing three indicators,namely,elastic energy index(Wet),tangential stress in rock mass(σ_(0)),and uniaxial compressive strength(σ_(c)).Distribution and correlation of data were drawn on 2D plot,and the boundaries of rockburst were distinguished according to the achieved interpolate points by kriging method.Hierarchically,the validation phase was performed using an additional set of 28 case histories obtained from several projects around the world.The results showed that the TRC chart with an average error percentage of 3.6%in the prediction of rockburst had a significant and effective implementation in comparison to the exiting heuristic systems.Despite the initial character of the prediction,the described chart may be a helpful tool in the first steps of design and construction.

Modelling analysis embodies drastic transition among global potential natural vegetations in face of changing climate

Potential natural vegetation(PNV)is a valuable reference for ecosystem renovation and has garnered increasing attention worldwide.However,there is limited knowledge on the spatio-temporal distributions,transitional processes,and underlying mechanisms of global natural vegetation,particularly in the case of ongoing climate warming.In this study,we visualize the spatio-temporal pattern and inter-transition procedure of global PNV,analyse the shifting distances and directions of global PNV under the influence of climatic disturbance,and explore the mechanisms of global PNV in response to temperature and precipitation fluctuations.To achieve this,we utilize meteorological data,mainly temperature and precipitation,from six phases:the Last Inter-Glacial(LIG),the Last Glacial Maximum(LGM),the Mid Holocene(MH),the Present Day(PD),2030(20212040)and 2090(2081–2100),and employ a widely-accepted comprehensive and sequential classification sy–stem(CSCS)for global PNV classification.We find that the spatial patterns of five PNV groups(forest,shrubland,savanna,grassland and tundra)generally align with their respective ecotopes,although their distributions have shifted due to fluctuating temperature and precipitation.Notably,we observe an unexpected transition between tundra and savanna despite their geographical distance.The shifts in distance and direction of five PNV groups are mainly driven by temperature and precipitation,although there is heterogeneity among these shifts for each group.Indeed,the heterogeneity observed among different global PNV groups suggests that they may possess varying capacities to adjust to and withstand the impacts of changing climate.The spatio-temporal distributions,mutual transitions and shift tendencies of global PNV and its underlying mechanism in face of changing climate,as revealed in this study,can significantly contribute to the development of strategies for mitigating warming and promoting re-vegetation in degraded regions worldwide.
