Chance-Constrained Sampling-Based MPC for Collision Avoidance in Uncertain Dynamic Environments
Mohamed, Ihab S., Ali, Mahmoud, Liu, Lantao
Navigating safely in dynamic and uncertain environments is challenging due to uncertainties in perception and motion. This letter presents C2U-MPPI, a robust sampling-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework that addresses these challenges by leveraging the Unscented Model Predictive Path Integral (U-MPPI) control strategy with integrated probabilistic chance constraints, ensuring more reliable and efficient navigation under uncertainty. Unlike gradient-based MPC methods, our approach (i) avoids linearization of system dynamics and directly applies non-convex and nonlinear chance constraints, enabling more accurate and flexible optimization, and (ii) enhances computational efficiency by reformulating probabilistic constraints into a deterministic form and employing a layered dynamic obstacle representation, enabling real-time handling of multiple obstacles. Extensive experiments in simulated and real-world human-shared environments validate the effectiveness of our algorithm against baseline methods, showcasing its capability to generate feasible trajectories and control inputs that adhere to system dynamics and constraints in dynamic settings, enabled by unscented-based sampling strategy and risk-sensitive trajectory evaluation.

Enhancing Multivariate Time Series-based Solar Flare Prediction with Multifaceted Preprocessing and Contrastive Learning
EskandariNasab, MohammadReza, Hamdi, Shah Muhammad, Boubrahimi, Soukaina Filali
Accurate solar flare prediction is crucial due to the significant risks that intense solar flares pose to astronauts, space equipment, and satellite communication systems. Our research enhances solar flare prediction by utilizing advanced data preprocessing and classification methods on a multivariate time series-based dataset of photospheric magnetic field parameters. First, our study employs a novel preprocessing pipeline that includes missing value imputation, normalization, balanced sampling, near decision boundary sample removal, and feature selection to significantly boost prediction accuracy. Second, we integrate contrastive learning with a GRU regression model to develop a novel classifier, termed ContReg, which employs dual learning methodologies, thereby further enhancing prediction performance. To validate the effectiveness of our preprocessing pipeline, we compare and demonstrate the performance gain of each step, and to demonstrate the efficacy of the ContReg classifier, we compare its performance to that of sequence-based deep learning architectures, machine learning models, and findings from previous studies. Our results illustrate exceptional True Skill Statistic (TSS) scores, surpassing previous methods and highlighting the critical role of precise data preprocessing and classifier development in time series-based solar flare prediction.

A Paradigm for Potential Model Performance Improvement in Classification and Regression Problems. A Proof of Concept
Lobo-Cabrera, Francisco Javier
Binary classification, multilabel classification, and regression prediction constitute fundamental paradigms in machine learning, addressing distinct types of predictive modeling tasks. Binary classification involves categorizing instances into one of two classes, typically denoted as positive and negative [1][2][3]. This modeling framework is particularly applicable to scenarios where outcomes are binary in nature, as observed in domains such as spam detection and medical diagnosis. In multilabel classification, the scope extends to situations where instances can be associated with multiple classes simultaneously, a common occurrence in applications like image tagging and document categorization [1][4]. Conversely, regression prediction is concerned with forecasting continuous outcomes, aiming to predict numeric values [3].
Quantitative Analysis of Forecasting Models:In the Aspect of Online Political Bias
Tripuraneni, Srinath Sai, Kamal, Sadia, Bagavathi, Arunkumar
Understanding and mitigating political bias in online social media platforms are crucial tasks to combat misinformation and echo chamber effects. However, characterizing political bias temporally using computational methods presents challenges due to the high frequency of noise in social media datasets. While existing research has explored various approaches to political bias characterization, the ability to forecast political bias and anticipate how political conversations might evolve in the near future has not been extensively studied. In this paper, we propose a heuristic approach to classify social media posts into five distinct political leaning categories. Since there is a lack of prior work on forecasting political bias, we conduct an in-depth analysis of existing baseline models to identify which model best fits to forecast political leaning time series. Our approach involves utilizing existing time series forecasting models on two social media datasets with different political ideologies, specifically Twitter and Gab. Through our experiments and analyses, we seek to shed light on the challenges and opportunities in forecasting political bias in social media platforms. Ultimately, our work aims to pave the way for developing more effective strategies to mitigate the negative impact of political bias in the digital realm.

Exploration of Deep Learning pipelines made easy
The easiest way to show how ATOM can help you is through an example. This story walks you through a notebook that trains and validates a Convolutional Neural Network implemented with Keras. The model is trained using MNIST¹, a well known image dataset whose goal is to classify handwritten digits. We start with the necessary imports and defining the model: a simple neural network with two convolutional layers and one output layers consisting of 10 neurons, one for each digit. The dataset contains 28x28 grayscale images, therefore every image's array has shape (28, 28, 1).
Python codes for types of Classification Algorithms
These classification algorithms are used for the calculation of metrics accuracy of the data by using python. The Classification algorithm is a Supervised Learning technique that is used to identify the category of new observations on the basis of training data. Classification can be performed on structured or unstructured data. Classification is a technique where we categorize data into a given number of classes. The main goal of a classification problem is to identify the category/class to which new data will fall.
Regression with Keras (Deep Learning with Keras - Part 3) : Regression
After two introductory tutorials, its time to build our first neural network! The network we are building solves a simple regression problem. Regression is a process where a model learns to predict a continuous value output for a given input data, e.g. Our objective is to build prediction model that predicts housing prices from a set of house features. We will use the Boston Housing dataset, which is collected by the U.S Census Service concerning housing in the area of Boston Mass.
