According to news reporting from Beijing, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Collision-fros grasping of the t hin, brief peduncies connecting sherry tomate clusters to the main stem was cruc ial for tomato harvesting robots. Recognising that the optimal operating posture for each individual poduncle was various, this study proposed a naval pedumele grasping posture decision model using deep rein forcement learning (DRL) for tom ato harvesting manipulators, to ove is the collision issue caused by Axed- postu re grasping." The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the Beijing Acad emy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences, "This model could dynamically generat ed action sequences for the harvesting manipulator, ensuring that the end-effect ar approach to the peduncle along the collision-fros path with the optimal grasp ing posture. Building upon price research inte the multi-task identification of tomato clusters, peduncles, and the main stom, a keypoint-based spatial pose des cription model for tomate bunches was devised. Through this, the optimal operati ng pesture for the and effector on the peduncle was established. An improved HER -SAC (Soft Actor Critic with Hindsight Experience Replay) algorithm was subseque ntly established to guide the and-effector in collision-free grasping motions. T he reward function of this algorithm incorporated end-effccser posture constrain ts obtained from the optimal posture plans. In the training phase, a heuristic s trategy model, providing prior knowizdgs, was marged with a dynamic guin module to sidestep local optimal policies, collectiv enhancing the learning efficiency In the simulation, our method improved the success rate of the peduncle grasping by at least 14 %, compared with SAC, HER DOFC and HER-TD3. For the identical scenarios, improved HER-SAC reached the desired posture with a minimu m of 15.5 % fewer stops compared to ather algorithms. In Feld cxpe riments conducted in tomate greenhouses, the robot schieved a harvesting success rate of 35.5 which was an increase of 57.31% and 43.0 1% compared to traditional methods with food horizontal and parallel to-main-stem p ostures, respectively."

It used a quantitative, quasi-experimental design, and a lang uage elicitation data collection process. Data was collected by means of a rubri c-based writing assessment. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive st atistics. Data analyses indicate that: 1) humancreated paragraphs (X = 7,56) an d AI writing (X = 7,61) yield similar results when evaluated; 2) some criteria m ay favor human creativity or computer, rule-oriented writing; and 3) professors' ratings reveal inconsistencies when grading human writing in particular. These findings demonstrate that AI matches, at least to a basic level, human writing s kills." According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "Furthermore, data show that students may be falling behind in aspects such as grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics. Finally, the analysis indicates that professors' grading lacks consi stency, and a calibration model should be incorporated as part of regular traini ng workshops."

According to news reporting originating from B eijing, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, " Generating orchards spatial distribution maps within a heterogeneous landscape i s challenging and requires fine spatial and temporal resolution images." Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Science Foundati on of China. Our news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Chinese Academy of Sciences: "This study examines the effectiveness of Sentinel-1 (S1) and Senti nel-2 (S2) satellite data of relatively high spatial and temporal resolutions fo r discriminating major orchards in the Khairpur district of the Sindh province, Pakistan using machine learning methods such as random forest (RF) and a support vector machine. A Multicollinearity test (MCT) was performed among the multi-te mporal S1 and S2 variables to remove those with high correlations. Six different feature combination schemes were tested, with the fusion of multi-temporal S1 a nd S2 (scheme-6) outperforming all other combination schemes. The spectral separ ability between orchards pairs was assessed using Jeffries-Matusita (JM) distanc e, revealing that orchard pairs were completely separable in the multi-temporal fusion of both sensors, especially the indistinguishable pair of dates-mango. Th e performance difference between RF and SVM was not significant, SVM showed a sl ightly higher accuracy, except for scheme-4 where RF performed better. This stud y concludes that multi-temporal fusion of S1 and S2 data, coupled with robust ML methods, offers a reliable approach for orchard classification."

    Researchers at Bauhaus-Universitat Weimar Release New Study Findings on Machine Learning (Utilizing advanced machine learning approaches to assess the seismic f ragility of non-engineered masonry structures)

    26-27页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Investigators discuss new findings in artificial intelligence. According to news originating from Weimar, Germany, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, "Seismic fragility assessment provides a su bstantial tool for assessing the seismic resilience of these buildings. However, using traditional numerical methods to derive fragility curves poses significan t challenges." Funders for this research include Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft; Bauhaus-unive rsitat Weimar. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Bauhaus-Universitat Wei mar: "These methods often overlook the diverse range of buildings found in diffe rent regions, as they rely on standardized assumptions and parameters. Consequen tly, they may not accurately capture the seismic response of various building ty pes. Alternatively, extensive data collection becomes essential to address this knowledge gap by understanding local construction techniques and identifying the relevant parameters. This data is crucial for developing reliable analytical ap proaches that can accurately derive fragility curves. To overcome these challeng es, this research employs four Machine Learning (ML) techniques, namely Support Vector Regression (SVR), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Random Forest (RF), and Linear Regression (LR), to derive fragility curves for probability of collap se in terms of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA). To achieve the research objective, a comprehensive input/output dataset consisting of on-site data collected from 646 masonry walls in Malawi is used. Adopted ML models are trained and tested u sing the entire dataset and then again using only the most highly correlated fea tures. The study includes a comparative analysis of the efficiency and accuracy of each ML approach and the influence of the data used in the analyses. Random F orest (RF) technique emerges as the most efficient ML approach for deriving frag ility curves for the surveyed dataset in terms of achieved lowest values for eva luation metrics of the ML methods."
