Abstract
In the field of smart justice, handling legal cases through artificial intelligence technology is a research hotspot. Traditional judgment prediction methods are mainly based on feature models and classification algorithms. The former is difficult to describe cases from multiple angles and capture the correlation information between different case modules, while requires a wealth of legal expertise and manual labeling. The latter is unable to accurately extract the most useful information from case documents and produce fine-grained predictions. This article proposes a judgment prediction method based on tensor decomposition with optimized neural networks, which consists of OTenr, GTend, and RnEla. OTenr represents cases as normalized tensors. GTend decomposes normalized tensors into core tensors using the guidance tensor. RnEla intervenes in a case modeling process in GTend by optimizing the guidance tensor, so that core tensors represent tensor structural and elemental information, which is most conducive to improving the accuracy of judgment prediction. RnEla consists of the similarity correlation Bi-LSTM and optimized Elastic-Net regression. RnEla takes the similarity between cases as an important factor for judgment prediction. Experimental results on real legal case dataset show that the accuracy of our method is higher than that of the previous judgment prediction methods.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e30228. [PMID: 38707402 PMCID: PMC11066688 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Soil spectroscopy estimates soil properties using the absorption features in soil spectra. However, modelling soil properties with soil spectroscopy is challenging due to the high dimensionality of spectral data. Feature Selection wrapper methods are promising approaches to reduce the dimensionality but are barely used in soil spectroscopy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of two feature selection wrapper methods, Sequential Forward Selection (SFS) and Sequential Flotant Forward Selection (SFFS) built using the Random Forest (RF) algorithm, for dimensionality reduction of spectral data and predictive modelling of modelling soil organic matter (SOM), clay and carbonates. The reflectance of 100 soil samples, acquired from Sierra de las Nieves (Spain), was measured under laboratory conditions using ASD FieldSpec Pro JR. Four different datasets were obtained after applying two spectral preprocessing methods to raw spectra: raw spectra, Continuum Removal (CR), Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC), and a so-called "Global" dataset composed of raw, CR and MSC features. The performance of RF models built with feature selection methods was compared to that of Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) and RF (alone). RF models built with SFS and SFFS outperformed PLSR and RF alone models: The best RF models with feature selection had a respective ratio of performance to interquartile distance of 1.93, 0.38 and 2.56. PLSR models had an accuracy of 1.41, 0.29 and 1.81 for SOM, carbonates, and clay, respectively. RF alone had a respective performance of 1.29, 0.29 and 1.81. The application of feature selection wrapper methods reduced the number of features to less than 1 % of the starting features. Features were selected across all spectra for SOM and clay, and around 900 nm, 1900 nm, and 2350 nm for carbonates. However, feature selection highlighted features around 1100 nm in SOM modelling, as well as other features around 2200 nm, which is considered a main absorption feature of clay. The application of feature selection with Random Forest was very important in improving modelling accuracy, reducing the redundant features and avoiding the curse of dimensionality or Hughes effect. Thus, this research showed an alternative to dimensionality reduction approaches that have been applied to date to model soil properties with spectroscopy and paves the way for further scientific investigation based on feature selection methods and machine learning.

Abstract
As a crucial part of machine learning and pattern recognition, feature selection aims at selecting a subset of the most informative features from the set of all available features. In this article, supervised feature selection is at first formulated as a mixed-integer optimization problem with an objective function of weighted feature redundancy and relevancy subject to a cardinality constraint on the number of selected features. It is equivalently reformulated as a bound-constrained mixed-integer optimization problem by augmenting the objective function with a penalty function for realizing the cardinality constraint. With additional bilinear and linear equality constraints for realizing the integrality constraints, it is further reformulated as a bound-constrained biconvex optimization problem with two more penalty terms. Two collaborative neurodynamic optimization (CNO) approaches are proposed for solving the formulated and reformulated feature selection problems. One of the proposed CNO approaches uses a population of discrete-time recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and the other use a pair of continuous-time projection networks operating concurrently on two timescales. Experimental results on 13 benchmark datasets are elaborated to substantiate the superiority of the CNO approaches to several mainstream methods in terms of average classification accuracy with three commonly used classifiers.

Abstract
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has been widely used in machine learning and data mining fields. As an extension of NMF, non-negative matrix tri-factorization (NMTF) provides more degrees of freedom than NMF. However, standard NMTF algorithm utilizes Frobenius norm to calculate residual error, which can be dramatically affected by noise and outliers. Moreover, the hidden geometric information in feature manifold and sample manifold is rarely learned. Hence, a novel robust capped norm dual hyper-graph regularized non-negative matrix tri-factorization (RCHNMTF) is proposed. First, a robust capped norm is adopted to handle extreme outliers. Second, dual hyper-graph regularization is considered to exploit intrinsic geometric information in feature manifold and sample manifold. Third, orthogonality constraints are added to learn unique data presentation and improve clustering performance. The experiments on seven datasets testify the robustness and superiority of RCHNMTF.

Abstract
With a large number of Local Binary Patterns (LBP) variants being currently used today, the significant and importance of visual descriptors in computer vision applications are prominent. This paper presents a novel visual descriptor, i.e., SIM-LBP. It employs a new matrix technique called the Symmetric Inline Matrix generator method, which acts as a new variant of LBP. The key feature that separates our variant from existing counterparts is that our variant is very efficient in extracting facial expression features like eyes, eye brows, nose and mouth in a wide range of lighting conditions. For testing our model, we applied SIM-LBP on the JAFFE dataset to convert all the images to its corresponding SIM-LBP transformed variant. These transformed images are then used to train a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) based deep learning model for facial expressions recognition (FER). Several performance evaluation metrics, i.e., recognition accuracy rate, precision, recall, and F1-score, were used to test mode efficiency in comparison with those using the traditional LBP descriptor and other LBP variants. Our model outperformed in all four matrices with the proposed SIM-LBP transformation on the input images against those of baseline methods. In comparison analysis with the other state-of-the-art methods, it shows the usefulness of the proposed SIM-LBP model. Our proposed SIM-LBP variant transformation can also be applied on facial images to identify a person's mental states and predict mood variations.

Abstract
In this paper, we formulate a mixed-integer problem for sparse signal reconstruction and reformulate it as a global optimization problem with a surrogate objective function subject to underdetermined linear equations. We propose a sparse signal reconstruction method based on collaborative neurodynamic optimization with multiple recurrent neural networks for scattered searches and a particle swarm optimization rule for repeated repositioning. We elaborate on experimental results to demonstrate the outperformance of the proposed approach against ten state-of-the-art algorithms for sparse signal reconstruction.

Abstract
As two important types of generalized convex functions, pseudoconvex and quasiconvex functions appear in many practical optimization problems. The lack of convexity poses some difficulties in solving pseudoconvex optimization with quasiconvex constraint functions. In this paper, we propose a one-layer recurrent neural network for solving such problems. We prove that the state of the proposed neural network is convergent from the feasible region to an optimal solution of the given optimization problem. We show that the proposed neural network has several advantages over the existing neural networks for pseudoconvex optimization. Specifically, the proposed neural network is applicable to optimization problems with quasiconvex inequality constraints as well as affine equality constraints. In addition, parameter matrix inversion is avoided and some assumptions on the objective function and inequality constraints in existing results are relaxed. We demonstrate the superior performance and characteristics of the proposed neural network with simulation results in three numerical examples.

Abstract
Portfolio optimization is one of the most important investment strategies in financial markets. It is practically desirable for investors, especially high-frequency traders, to consider cardinality constraints in portfolio selection, to avoid odd lots and excessive costs such as transaction fees. In this paper, a collaborative neurodynamic optimization approach is presented for cardinality-constrained portfolio selection. The expected return and investment risk in the Markowitz framework are scalarized as a weighted Chebyshev function and the cardinality constraints are equivalently represented using introduced binary variables as an upper bound. Then cardinality-constrained portfolio selection is formulated as a mixed-integer optimization problem and solved by means of collaborative neurodynamic optimization with multiple recurrent neural networks repeatedly repositioned using a particle swarm optimization rule. The distribution of resulting Pareto-optimal solutions is also iteratively perfected by optimizing the weights in the scalarized objective functions based on particle swarm optimization. Experimental results with stock data from four major world markets are discussed to substantiate the superior performance of the collaborative neurodynamic approach to several exact and metaheuristic methods.
