Generative Inverse Design of Metamaterials with Functional Responses by Interpretable Learning by Wei (Wayne) Chen, Rachel Sun, Doksoo Lee, Carlos M. Portela, Wei Chen

“…RIGID leverages the interpretability of a random forest‐based “design → response” forward model, eliminating the need for a more complex “response → design” inverse model. Based on the likelihood of target satisfaction derived from the trained random forest, one can sample a desired number of design solutions using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. …”

Adaptive dual-graph learning joint feature selection for EEG emotion recognition by Liangliang Hu, Congming Tan, Yin Tian

“…Adaptive dual-graph learning simultaneously constructs a local similarity graph and a global structural graph to comprehensively capture both local similarities and global dependencies among EEG samples. Additionally, a graph-based semi-supervised label propagation method is employed, leveraging both global and local structural information embedded in the dual graphs to propagate emotional labels from a small subset of labeled data to unlabeled samples, thereby enabling more accurate emotion estimation in the target domain. …”
