Abstract 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 predictive models 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-integrated machine learning model which shows better classification and prediction accuracy than present state-of-the-art models. Our study also focuses on the application of SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values as… More >

Abstract Analyzing and predicting the learning behavior data of students in blended teaching can provide reference basis for teaching. Aiming at weak generalization ability of existing algorithm models in performance prediction, a BP neural network is introduced to classify and predict the grades of students in the blended teaching. L2 regularization term is added to construct the BP neural network model in order to reduce the risk of overfitting. Combined with Pearson coefficient, effective feature data are selected as the validation dataset of the model by mining the data of Chao-Xing platform. The performance of common More >

Abstract Tomato production is affected by various threats, including pests, pathogens, and nutritional deficiencies during its growth process. If control is not timely, these threats affect the plant-growth, fruit-yield, or even loss of the entire crop, which is a key danger to farmers’ livelihood and food security. Traditional plant disease diagnosis methods heavily rely on plant pathologists that incur high processing time and huge cost. Rapid and cost-effective methods are essential for timely detection and early intervention of basic food threats to ensure food security and reduce substantial economic loss.
