The increasing dependence on smartphones with advanced sensors has highlighted the imperative of precise transportation mode classification, pivotal for domains like health monitoring and urban planning. This research is motivated by the pressing demand to enhance transportation mode classification, leveraging the potential of smartphone sensors, notably the accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope. In response to this challenge, we present a novel automated classification model rooted in deep reinforcement learning. Our model stands out for its innovative approach of harnessing enhanced features through artificial neural networks (ANNs) and visualizing the classification task as a structured series of decision-making events. Our model adopts an improved differential evolution (DE) algorithm for initializing weights, coupled with a specialized agent-environment relationship. Every correct classification earns the agent a reward, with additional emphasis on the accurate categorization of less frequent modes through a distinct reward strategy. The Upper Confidence Bound (UCB) technique is used for action selection, promoting deep-seated knowledge, and minimizing reliance on chance. A notable innovation in our work is the introduction of a cluster-centric mutation operation within the DE algorithm. This operation strategically identifies optimal clusters in the current DE population and forges potential solutions using a pioneering update mechanism. When assessed on the extensive HTC dataset, which includes 8311 hours of data gathered from 224 participants over two years. Noteworthy results spotlight an accuracy of 0.88±0.03 and an F-measure of 0.87±0.02, underscoring the efficacy of our approach for large-scale transportation mode classification tasks. This work introduces an innovative strategy in the realm of transportation mode classification, emphasizing both precision and reliability, addressing the pressing need for enhanced classification mechanisms in an eve

In Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA), accurately determining the sentiment polarity of specific aspects within text requires a nuanced understanding of linguistic elements, including syntax. Traditional ABSA approaches, particularly those leveraging attention mechanisms, have shown effectiveness but often fall short in integrating crucial syntax information. Moreover, while some methods employ Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to extract syntax information, they face significant limitations, such as information loss due to pooling operations. Addressing these challenges, our study proposes a novel ABSA framework that bypasses the constraints of GNNs by directly incorporating syntax-aware insights into the analysis process. Our approach, the Syntax-Informed Attention Mechanism Vector (SIAMV), integrates syntactic distances obtained from dependency trees and part-of-speech (POS) tags into the attention vectors, ensuring a deeper focus on linguistically relevant elements. This not only substantially enhances ABSA accuracy by enriching the attention mechanism but also maintains the integrity of sequential information, a task managed by adopting Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. The LSTM’s inputs, consisting of syntactic distance, POS tags, and the sentence itself, are processed to generate a syntax vector. This vector is then combined with the attention vector, offering a robust model that adeptly captures the nuances of language. Moreover, the sequential processing capability of LSTM ensures minimal information loss across the text by preserving the context and dependencies inherent in the sentence structure, unlike traditional pooling methods. Our experimental findings demonstrate that this innovative combination of SIAMV and LSTM significantly outperforms existing GNN-based ABSA models in accuracy, thereby setting a new standard for sentiment analysis research. By overcoming the traditional reliance on GNNs and their pooling-induced information loss, our method
