Modern navigation applications are confronting the challenge of path identification and prediction. Because of the inherent noisiness of measurement techniques, positional data often contains errors. Over time, when attempting to predict future positions, these errors can compound, causing drift in the target's path. Filtering or regression techniques can use periodic high-fidelity measurements, like those from GPS sensors, to correct positional data and reduce historic errors. These techniques have been much less effective in specialized environments where GPS is intermittent or denied. At the same time, the development of semi- and fully-autonomous systems has increased the need for accurate predictive navigation. To address this problem, previous methods were proposed for repairing tracking data using causality-aware machine learning (ML). It combined a long short-term memory (LSTM) network that predicted target paths with the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) which identified and evaluated counterfactual paths. Here te authors expand on that work by improving the simulated data used to train and test the system, expanding the GA by adding additional first principles-based objective functions, improving upon the LSTM implementation, and utilizing Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) pre-processing. System testing is conducted on Matlab-generated navigation scenarios, and results are compared to both EKF correction and spline interpolation. The proposed counterfactual track repair (CTR) tool produces paths with less repeatability than traditional approaches. However, it is shown to consistently generate more realistic path corrections, lower error in predictions based on its corrected paths, and is highly configurable, demonstrating the value and utility of this approach.

Regression testing in software development is challenging due to the large number of test cases and continuous integration (CI) practices. Recently, test case prioritization (TCP) using machine learning (ML) has been shown to efficiently execute regression tests. This study introduces an automated, endto-end, self-contained ML-based framework, TCP-Tune, tailored exclusively for TCP. The framework utilizes open-source version control system data to combine code-change-related features with test execution results. This integration allows the automated optimization of hyperparameters across different ML models to improve the TCP. The framework also effectively visualizes and utilizes multiple evaluation metrics to evaluate the performance of the model over several builds. Unlike existing implementations, which rely on various frameworks, TCP-Tune enables the effortless incorporation of features from multiple sources and fine-tuned models, thereby providing optimum test prioritization in the ever-changing field of software development. Our approach has helped to provide efficient TCP through experimental assessments of a real-life, large-scale CI system.

Image captioning aims to generate fluent and accurate descriptions for images. To evaluate the quality of captions, various metrics have been proposed. However, current metrics only assess captions at sequence-level, which overwhelms the distinctions between each token. Thus, existing objectives tend to treat each token equally, assigning them with identical weights in loss functions. Intuitively, key words in a caption carry the primary information and contribute more than other words to sequence-level metrics. They should be distinguished and weighted more during training. In this work, we propose to explicitly measure each word and guide the model to focus more on key words in captions. Firstly, we devise token-level CIDEr (CIDEr-T) as a new metric to quantify the importance of each word, by decomposing the sequence-level CIDEr into token-level granularity. CIDEr-T maintains consistency with CIDEr and shows the distinctions between tokens. Thus, we engage CIDEr-T scores of each token as their unique weights in the raw loss functions, which can bridge the gap between training and evaluation.

In machine learning, handwritten digit recognition is usually seen as a multi-class classification problems In this approach, the ten possible digits (0-9) are treated as individual classes, and the goal is to train a classifier that can accurately identify them. However, it’s not unusual for a single classifier to have varying levels of success when applied to different datasets, even after being trained using a standard learning algorithm. This indicates that while a given learning algorithm may be effective at training strong classifiers on certain datasets, it may result in weaker classifiers for others. Furthermore, it’s possible for a classifier to exhibit varying levels of performance on multiple test datasets, especially considering that different writers may produce highly diverse image samples of the same numbers. To address this issue, the advancement of ensemble learning methodologies will be critical, as they have the potential to improve overall prediction accuracy and offer more consistent performance across different datasets.

Living with mild intellectual disabilities leads many people to struggle against several daily difficulties. For instance, a user with mild intellectual impairments is often not able to complete basic tasks independently (e.g., moving around the city, managing the home, shopping) and, additionally, he/she always depends on another person like a caregiver or a legal guardian. Starting from these hypotheses, the motivation behind this work is to design an interactive system for supporting users with mild intellectual impairments by improving their autonomy and, consequentially, the quality of their lives. In order to understand the needs and problems of this user group, this paper presents the first stage of a UX design process based on the Double Diamond model that was carried out using the Empathy Map tool to visualize the information gathered in the interviews with 15 users with mild intellectual impairments and three of their caregivers. By applying this approach, we reach a full understanding of the users and their environment which, as conclusions of this work, allows us to set the most appropriate decisions about the future interactive system design and development. The Empathy Map tool has turned out to be a valid tool for use with the specific target of people with intellectual disabilities, however, some tool extensions could be considered to be carried out in the future.

software defects may cause severe crashes in the system, leading to the software's high maintenance costs. Early identification of these defects would lead to high-quality software, thus saving time and money. This study proposes five feature selection approaches based on evolutionary computing algorithms, each coupled with a majority voting ensemble for software defect prediction. The objective is to improve the existing process by targeting the metric selection stage. The study was conducted on thirty open-source defect datasets. The proposed feature selection techniques were applied on a within-project defect prediction model and a heterogeneous defect prediction model. The Friedman and the Wilcoxon Signed-rank test concluded that the proposed techniques were promising and generated results comparable to some other state-of-the-art feature selection methodologies.

Pest attacks pose a serious threat to the production of jute and other significant crops. Jute farmers often utilize their visual sense and hands-on expertise to distinguish between multiple diseases that seem to be identical. The intelligent model we built for the identification of jute pests was based on a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). This practical difficulty led to the development of this concept. The proposed DCNN model can automatically identify jute pest concerns with high speed and accuracy based on image recognition. In addition, images of the four most common jute bugs are included in an organized image graphics collection. Our model yields a DCNN accuracy is 96.72% for the four most significant jute pest kinds. Further proof of the model's effectiveness is provided by the accuracy, recall, F1-score, and confusion matrix metrics.
