Binocular Vision-Based Target Detection Algorithm by Huiguo Zhang

“…The former can effectively balance the positive and negative samples to avoid over-learning of easy-to-classify samples during the training process; the latter successfully solves the problem of the failure of the detection method when there is no intersection between the prediction frame and the real detection frame, which significantly improves the robustness of the model. …”

The effect of the multiple genotypes of Myostatin gene on reproductive characteristics of the Iraqi brown local chickens by Hanan Kareem Noor Al-Musawi, Majid Mohsen Salman Al-Ameri

“…Hens were selected based on the characteristic of high egg production rate which was more than 60%, the study aims to determine the multiple genetic features of the Myostatin gene (MSTIN) and its contribution to affecting the average body weight in a sample of Iraqi brown local chickens.blood samples were collected and DNAextracted DNA with a concentration of 98% and a purity of 19.8, PCR-Product technique was used to multiply the segment of the Myostatin gene, and sent to the Republic of South Korea, Macrogen Corporation-Korea, and using the Sanger and Coulson method, the genotypes of genetic mutations were,by sequencing the percentages of individuals carrying it contributed to the variance of genetic frequency and chi-square values (24.8, 58.5 and 37.6 for mutations, respectively) and their incompatibility with the Hardy-Weinberg rule. …”

Enhancing Extreme Learning Machine Robustness via Residual-Variance-Aware Dynamic Weighting and Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno Optimization: Application to Metro Crowd Flow Predi... by Lihui Wang, Jianguang Xie

“…Aiming at the robustness problem of the extreme learning machine (ELM) in noisy and nonuniform data scenarios, this paper proposes an improved algorithm (BFGS-URWELM) that integrates uniform residual weighting and Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) quasi-Newton optimization. This method introduces a sample weighting mechanism based on the target residual variance, dynamically adjusts the importance of training samples, and iteratively corrects the input weights and biases of the ELM in combination with the BFGS optimization strategy, effectively improving the prediction accuracy and stability of the model. …”
