A novel approach for music genre identification using ZFNet, ELM, and modified electric eel foraging optimizer by Shuang Zhang, Zhiyong Sun, Hasan Jafari

“…Furthermore, the model incorporates a newly developed metaheuristic algorithm called the Modified Electric Eel Foraging Optimization (MEEFO) algorithm to optimize the ELM parameters and enhance overall performance. To evaluate the effectiveness of the model, it has been tested on two widely recognized benchmark datasets, namely GTZAN and Ballroom, and the results are contrasted with some advanced models, comprising MusicRecNet, Parallel Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network (PRCNN), RNN-LSTM, ResNet-50, VGG-16, Deep Neural Network (DNN). …”

Urban Air Mobility Vertiport’s Capacity Simulation and Analysis by Antoni Kopyt, Sebastian Dylicki

“…It was focused on two use cases—high-frequency food delivery utilizing small UASs and extended-range package logistics with larger UASs—and the model incorporates adaptive vertiport zoning strategies, segregating operations into dedicated sectors for battery charging, swapping, and cargo handling to enable parallel processing and mitigate congestion. The simulation evaluates critical variables such as vertiport dimensions, UAS fleet composition, and mission duration ranges while emphasizing scalability, safety, and compliance with evolving regulatory standards. …”
