VCNet: Optimized Deep Learning framework with deep feature extraction and genetic algorithm for multiclass rice crop disease detection by Sanam Salman Kazi, Bhakti Palkar, Dhirendra Mishra

“…It also requires fewer parameters and takes minimum training time. • The major contribution of this study is the design of an optimized, efficient and enhanced deep learning technique for multiclass rice crop disease detection embracing with batch normalization, dropout and genetic optimization algorithm to improve generalization power and restrict the overlearning capability for seen and unseen data. • Proposed VCNet, a shallow model with deep feature extraction, employs VGG16 layers for initial extraction fused with custom CNN architecture to correctly detect the challenging classes of diseases like sheath rot in multiclass classification. • The most significant observation is that VCNet accurately predicts the rice disease for each class of diseases under study whereas the existing powerful models largely misclassified for some classes of diseases in multiclass classification.…”

A Study on the Design of a New Three-Dimensional Seismic Isolation Bearing Based on an Improved Genetic Algorithm for Bridge Engineering by Ying Sheng, Zhenchao Yang, Yu Meng, Bin Jia

“…However, passive seismic isolation devices, due to their non-adjustable performance parameters, struggle to achieve effective seismic isolation across a wide frequency range of 0 Hz to 20 Hz in response to random and varying seismic loads. (2) Methods: The sensitivity of the design parameters of the seismic isolation bearing was analyzed using the optimization center gradient method, and an improved genetic algorithm was employed to quickly optimize and obtain the optimal design parameters. (3) Results: The effectiveness of the three-dimensional seismic isolation bearing was validated through experiments. (4) Conclusions: The multi-factor sensitivity analysis approach used in this study for designing novel isolation bearings is applicable not only to seismic design in bridges but also serves as a reference for parameter design in isolation bearings requiring medium to high precision in seismic performance.…”
