Machine learning models predict bluebottles' presence on beaches, addressing class imbalance and unreliable absence data.

problem Predicting bluebottles' presence on beaches with machine learning, tackling class imbalance and unreliable absence data.
method Used Multilayer Perceptron, Random Forest, and XGBoost models; employed data augmentation techniques like SMOTE, Random Undersampling, and Synthetic Negative Approach.
result Random Forests combined with Synthetic Negative Approach provided the best predictive model, identifying wind direction as a key factor.

Topic models (e.g., pLSA, LDA, SLDA) have been widely used for segmenting imagery. These models are confined to crisp segmentation. Yet, there are many images in which some regions cannot be assigned a crisp label (e.g., transition regions between a foggy sky and the ground or between sand and water at a beach). In the…

Topic models (e.g., pLSA, LDA, sLDA) have been widely used for segmenting imagery. However, these models are confined to crisp segmentation, forcing a visual word (i.e., an image patch) to belong to one and only one topic. Yet, there are many images in which some regions cannot be assigned a crisp categorical label (e.…

A novel spatio-temporal graph neural network with a learnable Tweedie head improves vessel traffic flow prediction in sparse maritime data.

problem Accurate vessel traffic flow prediction in sparse maritime data.
method A model-agnostic learnable Tweedie head attached to ST-GNN backbones.
result The proposed head consistently improves RMSE across multiple ST-GNN backbones, especially on non-zero events.

The paper investigates ethical issues in large image datasets, focusing on pornographic content.

problem Ethical issues in large-scale computer vision datasets, particularly concerning pornographic content.
method Cross-sectional model-based quantitative census covering various factors in the ImageNet-ILSVRC-2012 dataset.
result The dataset contains verifiably pornographic images, including non-consensual and voyeuristic content.

Improved satellite image captions enhance descriptiveness without large models.

problem Extracting meaningful text from satellite imagery.
method Evaluated seven models on a large benchmark, extended vocabulary, and introduced a novel confusion matrix.
result Reduced model size by 100x without sacrificing accuracy, offering new deployment opportunities.

Study predicts coastal water quality using machine learning, identifying salinity as key factor.

problem Predicting and managing coastal water quality for public health and tourism.
method Machine learning models (Catboost, Xgboost, Random Forests, Support Vector Regression, Artificial Neural Networks) trained on environmental data.
result Catboost algorithm performed best, with R² values of 0.71 and 0.68 for E. Coli and enterococci predictions.
