Identifying the genes vital for accurate cancer classification is a key challenge. Here, we present Fs-LSA (F-score based Learning Search Algorithm), a novel gene selection algorithm designed to enhance the precision and efficiency of target gene identification from microarray data for cancer classification. This algorithm is divided into two phases: the first leverages F-score values to prioritize and select feature genes with the most significant differential expression;the second phase introduces our Learning Search Algorithm (LSA), which harnesses swarm intelligence to identify the optimal subset among the remaining genes. Inspired by human social learning, LSA integrates historical data and collective intelligence for a thorough search, with a dynamic control mechanism that balances exploration and refinement, thereby enhancing the gene selection process. We conducted a rigorous validation of Fs-LSA’s performance using eight publicly available cancer microarray expression datasets. Fs-LSA achieved accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and F1-score values of 0.9932, 0.9923, 0.9962, and 0.994, respectively. Comparative analyses with state-of-the-art algorithms revealed Fs-LSA’s superior performance in terms of simplicity and efficiency. Additionally, we validated the algorithm’s efficacy independently using glioblastoma data from GEO and TCGA databases. It was significantly superior to those of the comparison algorithms. Importantly, the driver genes identified by Fs-LSA were instrumental in developing a predictive model as an independent prognostic indicator for glioblastoma, underscoring Fs-LSA’s transformative potential in genomics and personalized medicine.展开更多

The SCA includes two learner layers: a primary learner’s layer and meta-classifier layer. The accuracy of the SCA can be improved by using the GS and K-CV. The GS was developed to match the hyper-parameters and optimise complicated problems. The K-CV is commonly applied to changing the validation set in a training set. In general, a GS is usually combined with K-CV to produce a corresponding evaluation index and select the best hyper-parameters. The torque penetration index(TPI) and field penetration index(FPI) are proposed based on shield parameters to express the geological characteristics. The elbow method(EM) and silhouette coefficient(Si) are employed to determine the types of geological characteristics(K) in a Kmeans++ algorithm. A case study on mixed ground in Guangzhou is adopted to validate the applicability of the developed model. The results show that with the developed framework, the four selected parameters, i.e. thrust, advance rate, cutterhead rotation speed and cutterhead torque, can be used to effectively predict the corresponding geological characteristics.展开更多

Besides field observations, it is necessary to analyze the land cover of wetlands through the color infrared (CIR) aerial photography or remote sensing image. In this paper, we designed an evolving neural network classifier using variable string genetic algorithm (VGA) for the land cover classification of CIR aerial image. With the VGA, the classifier that we designed is able to evolve automatically the appropriate number of hidden nodes for modeling the neural network topology optimally and to find a near-optimal set of connection weights globally. Then, with backpropagation algorithm (BP), it can find the best connection weights. The VGA-BP classifier, which is derived from hybrid algorithms mentioned above, is demonstrated on CIR images classification effectively. Compared with standard classifiers, such as Bayes maximum-likelihood classifier, VGA classifier and BP-MLP (multi-layer perception) classifier, it has shown that the VGA-BP classifier can have better performance on highly resolution land cover classification.展开更多

Newly developeddistributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology enables estimation of the shear-wave distribution as ahigh-density seismic observation system. This technology is characterized by low maintenance costs,high-resolution outputs, and real-time data transmission capabilities, albeit with the challenge ofmanaging massive data generation. Rapid and efficient interpretation of data is the key to advancingapplication of the DAS technology. In this study, field tests were carried out to record ambient noise overa short period using DAS technology, from which the surface-wave dispersion curves were extracted. Inorder to reduce the influence of directional effects on the results, an unsupervised clustering method isused to select appropriate clusters to extract the Green's function. A combination of a genetic algorithmand Monte Carlo (GA-MC) simulation is proposed to invert the subsurface velocity structure. Thestratigraphic profiles obtained by the GA-MC method are in agreement with the borehole profiles.Compared to other methods, the proposed optimization method not only improves the solution qualitybut also reduces the solution time.展开更多

Based on an asymptotic expansion of the scattering amplitude proposed by Ammari et al., the reconstruction problem can be reduced to a calculation of Green function corresponding to the background medium. In addition, we use an explicit formulation of Green function in the MUSIC algorithm to simplify the calculation when the cross-section of sample is a half-disc. Numerical experiments are included to demonstrate the feasibility of this method.展开更多

摘要Gas hydrates are increasingly recognized as a significant unconventional energy resource and a key factor in marine geohazards and the global carbon cycle.However,accurately identifying and quantifying hydrate-bearing formations remains challenging due to complex geophysical signatures and heterogeneous distribution.This study evaluates twelve supervised machine learning(ML)algorithms for two key tasks:Classification of hydrate-bearing layers and regression-based estimation of hydrate saturation,using well log and pore-water geochemical data from Site NGHP-01-19B.Two physically independent labeling frameworks are employed:One based on Archie's law using resistivity(1350 samples,29%hydratebearing),and another based on a three-phase velocity model(890 samples,25%hydrate-bearing).A diverse set of models,including tree-based ensembles(Decision Tree,Random Forest,GBDT,XGBoost,Light GBM,Cat Boost,Bagging,Ada Boost),kernel methods(SVM,SVR),instance-based learning(KNN),neural networks(MLP),and Gaussian Process models(GPR,GPC),are systematically compared using cross-validation and grid search.Ensemble methods consistently performed best in classification,with Ada Boost and GBDT,achieving test accuracies above 0.94(Archie)and 0.98(velocity-based).For regression,GPR delivered the most accurate hydrate saturation estimates(R2>0.99),while GBDT and Random Forest provided a strong balance of accuracy and computational efficiency.Notably,depth below seafloor(TDEP),though not a direct geophysical input,significantly enhanced model performance by acting as a proxy for stratigraphic and thermodynamic conditions.Group-based validation confirmed that random-sample splitting overestimates performance due to depth-wise autocorrelation,highlighting the importance of geologically informed model assessment.Overall,the consistent performance of ML models across both labeling schemes and input feature sets underscores their robustness and transferability,supporting their use as a reliable toolset for offshore gas hydrate reservoir characterization.
摘要Early and precise identification of wheat leaf diseases is crucial for sustainable crop management and yield improvement.In this study,we propose a novel hybrid framework that combines deep feature extraction(using ResNet50 and VGG16)with ANOVA-driven feature selection and whale optimization algorithm(WOA)for hyperparameter tuning of support vector machine(SVM)classifiers.The dataset consists of 40285 wheat leaf images across eight classes(seven disease types and healthy leaves),including augmented samples to address class imbalance.The analysis of variance(ANOVA)method significantly reduced dimensionality by selecting the top 500 most relevant features,while the WOA fine-tuned the SVM to enhance classification performance.The proposed model achieved an impressive accuracy of 98.1%,along with a precision of 97.9%,a recall of 98.0%,and an F1-score of 98.0%on the independent test set.A comparative analysis shows that our method outperforms several state-of-the-art(SOTA)models,including standard CNN and ensemble approaches.This study demonstrates that combining statistical feature selection and bio-inspired optimization with deep learning can substantially advance automated wheat leaf disease detection,offering promising applications for precision agriculture.

摘要This study presents a framework for predicting geological characteristics based on integrating a stacking classification algorithm(SCA) with a grid search(GS) and K-fold cross validation(K-CV). The SCA includes two learner layers: a primary learner’s layer and meta-classifier layer. The accuracy of the SCA can be improved by using the GS and K-CV. The GS was developed to match the hyper-parameters and optimise complicated problems. The K-CV is commonly applied to changing the validation set in a training set. In general, a GS is usually combined with K-CV to produce a corresponding evaluation index and select the best hyper-parameters. The torque penetration index(TPI) and field penetration index(FPI) are proposed based on shield parameters to express the geological characteristics. The elbow method(EM) and silhouette coefficient(Si) are employed to determine the types of geological characteristics(K) in a Kmeans++ algorithm. A case study on mixed ground in Guangzhou is adopted to validate the applicability of the developed model. The results show that with the developed framework, the four selected parameters, i.e. thrust, advance rate, cutterhead rotation speed and cutterhead torque, can be used to effectively predict the corresponding geological characteristics.

摘要In this research,an integrated classification method based on principal component analysis-simulated annealing genetic algorithm-fuzzy cluster means(PCA-SAGA-FCM)was proposed for the unsupervised classification of tight sandstone reservoirs which lack the prior information and core experiments.A variety of evaluation parameters were selected,including lithology characteristic parameters,poro-permeability quality characteristic parameters,engineering quality characteristic parameters,and pore structure characteristic parameters.The PCA was used to reduce the dimension of the evaluation pa-rameters,and the low-dimensional data was used as input.The unsupervised reservoir classification of tight sandstone reservoir was carried out by the SAGA-FCM,the characteristics of reservoir at different categories were analyzed and compared with the lithological profiles.The analysis results of numerical simulation and actual logging data show that:1)compared with FCM algorithm,SAGA-FCM has stronger stability and higher accuracy;2)the proposed method can cluster the reservoir flexibly and effectively according to the degree of membership;3)the results of reservoir integrated classification match well with the lithologic profle,which demonstrates the reliability of the classification method.
摘要A new arrival and departure flight classification method based on the transitive closure algorithm (TCA) is proposed. Firstly, the fuzzy set theory and the transitive closure algorithm are introduced. Then four different factors are selected to establish the flight classification model and a method is given to calculate the delay cost for each class. Finally, the proposed method is implemented in the sequencing problems of flights in a terminal area, and results are compared with that of the traditional classification method(TCM). Results show that the new classification model is effective in reducing the expenses of flight delays, thus optimizing the sequences of arrival and departure flights, and improving the efficiency of air traffic control.
摘要Coastal wetlands are characterized by complex patterns both in their geomorphlc and ecological teatures. Besides field observations, it is necessary to analyze the land cover of wetlands through the color infrared (CIR) aerial photography or remote sensing image. In this paper, we designed an evolving neural network classifier using variable string genetic algorithm (VGA) for the land cover classification of CIR aerial image. With the VGA, the classifier that we designed is able to evolve automatically the appropriate number of hidden nodes for modeling the neural network topology optimally and to find a near-optimal set of connection weights globally. Then, with backpropagation algorithm (BP), it can find the best connection weights. The VGA-BP classifier, which is derived from hybrid algorithms mentioned above, is demonstrated on CIR images classification effectively. Compared with standard classifiers, such as Bayes maximum-likelihood classifier, VGA classifier and BP-MLP (multi-layer perception) classifier, it has shown that the VGA-BP classifier can have better performance on highly resolution land cover classification.

摘要The remote sensing image classification has stimulated considerable interest as an effective method for better retrieving information from the rapidly increasing large volume, complex and distributed satellite remote imaging data of large scale and cross-time, due to the increase of remote image quantities and image resolutions. In the paper, the genetic algorithms were employed to solve the weighting of the radial basis faction networks in order to improve the precision of remote sensing image classification. The remote sensing image classification was also introduced for the GIS spatial analysis and the spatial online analytical processing (OLAP), and the resulted effectiveness was demonstrated in the analysis of land utilization variation of Daqing city.

摘要The distribution of shear-wave velocities in the subsurface is generally used to assess the potential forseismic liquefaction and soil amplification effects and to classify seismic sites. Newly developeddistributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology enables estimation of the shear-wave distribution as ahigh-density seismic observation system. This technology is characterized by low maintenance costs,high-resolution outputs, and real-time data transmission capabilities, albeit with the challenge ofmanaging massive data generation. Rapid and efficient interpretation of data is the key to advancingapplication of the DAS technology. In this study, field tests were carried out to record ambient noise overa short period using DAS technology, from which the surface-wave dispersion curves were extracted. Inorder to reduce the influence of directional effects on the results, an unsupervised clustering method isused to select appropriate clusters to extract the Green's function. A combination of a genetic algorithmand Monte Carlo (GA-MC) simulation is proposed to invert the subsurface velocity structure. Thestratigraphic profiles obtained by the GA-MC method are in agreement with the borehole profiles.Compared to other methods, the proposed optimization method not only improves the solution qualitybut also reduces the solution time.

摘要In this paper, we consider a MUSIC algorithm for locating point-like scatterers contained in a sample on flat substrate. Based on an asymptotic expansion of the scattering amplitude proposed by Ammari et al., the reconstruction problem can be reduced to a calculation of Green function corresponding to the background medium. In addition, we use an explicit formulation of Green function in the MUSIC algorithm to simplify the calculation when the cross-section of sample is a half-disc. Numerical experiments are included to demonstrate the feasibility of this method.
