FADA-SMOTE-Ms: Fuzzy Adaptative Smote-Based Methods by Roudani Mohammed, El Moutaouakil Karim

“…However, it has three shortcomings: <xref ref-type="disp-formula" rid="deqn1">(1)</xref> it may cause the over-generalization problem due to oversampling of noisy samples, <xref ref-type="disp-formula" rid="deqn2">(2)</xref> over-sampling of uninformative samples, and <xref ref-type="disp-formula" rid="deqn3">(3)</xref> increasing the overlaps between different classes around the class boundaries. Different approaches SMOTE based have been proposed to handle these problems, but most of them implement hyperparameters and tend to generate noise because the synthetic sample is generated, randomly, in the area delimited by current random minority data. …”

Re-use of Building Products in the Netherlands by Loriane Icibaci

“…It is a tool that facilitates future assessments on how to improve the recovery of products for reuse (illustrated by the case of wooden products); how to support decision making by practitioners and policymakers; how to detect the connectedness among different aspects of building product reuse. Ultimately it offers different paths to (re) generate additional evaluation or action with the aim to adapt the practice of reuse to changing conditions. …”
