This paper presents a novel example of depression prediction, merging cognitive science with data-driven machinelearning. Behavioral economic features were engineered from a short picture rating task. Relative Preference Theory was applied to rating data for quantifying the degree to which participants liked, disliked, or were neutral to several types of pictures;thus, behavioral economic variables including loss aversion, risk aversion, and 13 others that are amenable to psychological interpretation were mined. These variables were features of a logistic regression predictive model that targeted depression in a population-based sample (N = 281) with high test accuracy and no overfitting. Per our review of the literature, we cannot identify other papers that explicitly use behavioral economic features to predict depression with machinelearning.

AI-based code generators have become pivotal in assisting developers in writing software starting from natural language (NL). However, they are trained on large amounts of data, often collected from unsanitized online sources (e.g., GitHub, HuggingFace). As a consequence, AI models become an easy target for data poisoning, i.e., an attack that injects malicious samples into the training data to generate vulnerable code. To address this threat, this work investigates the security of AI code generators by devising a targeted data poisoning strategy. We poison the training data by injecting increasing amounts of code containing security vulnerabilities and assess the attack's success on different state-of-the-art models for code generation. Our study shows that AI code generators are vulnerable to even a small amount of poison. Notably, the attack success strongly depends on the model architecture and poisoning rate, whereas it is not influenced by the type of vulnerabilities. Moreover, since the attack does not impact the correctness of code generated by pretrained models, it is hard to detect. Lastly, our work offers practical insights into understanding and potentially mitigating this threat.

Overreliance on traditional energy sources leads to resource depletion and environmental pollution, posing serious challenges to global energy security. In response, Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) technology has emerged as a promising solution, offering an alternative to traditional ground-mounted Photovoltaic (PV) systems. This study utilizes data collected from Brookhall Estate between September 2022 and January 2023, employing six machinelearning algorithms and the interpretable SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) technique to analyze solar radiation convertibility. Random Forest is identified as the most reliable model for FPV prediction. The results highlight the nonlinear impact of factors such as temperature, conductivity, seasonal variations, water depth, and wind direction on solar radiation collection efficiency. Targeted strategies for FPV design and placement are proposed, contributing to overall FPV optimization in alignment with sustainable energy development goals and the pursuit of net-zero emissions.

Semi-supervised learning (SSL) suffers from severe performance degradation when labeled and unlabeled data come from inconsistent data distributions. However, there is still a lack of sufficient theoretical guidance on how to alleviate this problem. In this paper, we propose a general theoretical framework that demonstrates how distribution discrepancies caused by pseudo-label predictions and target predictions can lead to severe generalization errors. Through theoretical analysis, we identify three main reasons why previous SSL algorithms cannot perform well with inconsistent distributions: coupling between the pseudo-label predictor and the target predictor, biased pseudo labels, and restricted sample weights. To address these challenges, we introduce a practical framework called Bidirectional Adaptation that can adapt to the distribution of unlabeled data for debiased pseudo-label prediction and to the target distribution for debiased target prediction, thereby mitigating these shortcomings. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed framework.
