In recent years, face detection has emerged as a prominent research field within computer Vision (CV) and Deep Learning. Detecting faces in images and video sequences remains a challenging task due to various factors such as pose variation, varying illumination, occlusion, and scale differences. Despite the development of numerous face detection algorithms in deep learning, the Viola-Jones algorithm, with its simple yet effective approach, continues to be widely used in real-time camera applications. The conventional Viola-Jones algorithm employs AdaBoost for classifying faces in images and videos. The challenge lies in working with cluttered real-time facial images. AdaBoost needs to search through all possible thresholds for all samples to find the minimum training error when receiving features from Haar-like detectors. Therefore, this exhaustive search consumes significant time to discover the best threshold values and optimize feature selection to build an efficient classifier for face detection. In this paper, we propose enhancing the conventional Viola-Jones algorithm by incorporating Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to improve its predictive accuracy, particularly in complex face images. We leverage PSO in two key areas within the Viola-Jones framework. Firstly, PSO is employed to dynamically select optimal threshold values for feature selection, thereby improving computational efficiency. Secondly, we adapt the feature selection process using AdaBoost within the Viola-Jones algorithm, integrating PSO to identify the most discriminative features for constructing a robust classifier. Our approach significantly reduces the feature selection process time and search complexity compared to the traditional algorithm, particularly in challenging environments. We evaluated our proposed method on a comprehensive face detection benchmark dataset, achieving impressive results, including an average true positive rate of 98.73% and a 2.1% higher average prediction accura

The increasing complexity of optical communication systems and networks necessitates advanced methodologies for extracting valuable insights from vast and heterogeneous datasets. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) have emerged as pivotal tools in this domain, revolutionizing data analysis and enabling automated self-configuration in optical communication systems. Their adoption is fueled by the growing intricacy of systems and links, driven by numerous adjustable and interdependent parameters. This complexity is particularly evident in areas such as coherent transceivers, advanced digital signal processing, optical performance monitoring, cross-layer network optimizations, and nonlinearity compensation. While ML and DL offer immense potential, their application in optical communications is still in its early stages, with significant opportunities remaining unexplored. Many algorithms have yet to be fully deployed in practical settings, underscoring the emerging nature of this research area. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of ML and DL applications across optical fiber communication (OFC), optical wireless communication (OWC), and optical communication networking (OCN), highlighting the challenges, current advancements, and future potential of these approaches. To address the identified gaps, this survey evaluates and compares ML and DL algorithms in terms of their performance, complexity, objectives, input data, metrics, and applications in optical communication. Specific emphasis is placed on identifying how these algorithms enhance system performance and optimization. Furthermore, the advantages and limitations of existing methods are analyzed, offering a clear perspective on the role of ML and DL in this domain. The survey also includes updated visual representations and domain-specific examples to elucidate the practical applications of ML and DL in OFC, OWC, and OCN. It concludes by discussing the open challenges, proposing potential soluti

Typically, object detection methods for autonomous driving that rely on supervised learning make the assumption of a consistent feature distribution between the training and testing data, this such assumption may fail in different weather conditions. Due to the domain gap, a detection model trained under clear weather may not perform well in foggy and rainy conditions. Overcoming detection bottlenecks in foggy and rainy weather is a real challenge for autonomous vehicles deployed in the wild. To bridge the domain gap and improve the performance of object detection in foggy and rainy weather, this paper presents a novel framework for domain-adaptive object detection. The adaptations at both the image-level and objectlevel are intended to minimize the differences in image style and object appearance between domains. Furthermore, in order to improve the model's performance on challenging examples, we introduce a novel adversarial gradient reversal layer that conducts adversarial mining on difficult instances in addition to domain adaptation. Additionally, we suggest generating an auxiliary domain through data augmentation to enforce a new domain-level metric regularization. Experimental findings on public V2V benchmark exhibit a substantial enhancement in object detection specifically for foggy and rainy driving scenarios IEEE
