Web Semantic-Enhanced Multimodal Sentiment Analysis Using Multilayer Cross-Attention Fusion

Aiming at the existing multimodal sentiment analysis approaches, which include inadequate extraction of unimodal features, redundancy of independent modal features, insufficient analysis of semantic correlation between data and insufficient fusion, a Web-Semantic Enhanced Multimodal Sentiment Analysis Using Multilayer Cross-Attention Fusion is proposed. The model utilizes deep learning (including XLNet, ResNeSt, and convolutional neural networks) to extract high-level features from text, audio, and visual modes through self-attention mechanisms, and improves the accuracy of emotion classification through multimodal fusion. The results of experiments demonstrate that the suggested MCFMSA can achieve Acc-2, Acc-3, F1, and MAE values of 89.7%, 85.2%, 89.3%, and 0.466 on the CMU-MOSI dataset, respectively; and on the CMU-MOSEI dataset, Acc-2, Acc-3, F1, and MAE values of 88.7%, 82.5%, 86.5%, and 0.475. All of them are significantly improved compared to several other advanced multimodal sentiment analysis methods, which can enhance the accuracy of sentiment classification.

Enhanced Plant Leaf Classification over a Large Number of Classes Using Machine Learning

In botany and agriculture, classifying leaves is a crucial process that yields vital information for studies on biodiversity, ecological studies, and the identification of plant species. The Cope Leaf Dataset offers a comprehensive collection of leaf images from various plant species, enabling the development and evaluation of advanced classification algorithms. This study presents a robust methodology for classifying leaf images within the Cope Leaf Dataset by enhancing the feature extraction and selection process. Cope Leaf Dataset has 99 classes and 64 features with 1584 records. Features are extracted based on the margin, texture, and shape of the leaves. It is challenging to classify a large number of labels because of class imbalance, feature complexity, overfitting, and label noise. Our approach combines advanced feature selection techniques with robust preprocessing methods, including normalization, imputation, and noise reduction. By systematically integrating these techniques, we aim to reduce dimensionality, eliminate irrelevant or redundant features, and improve data quality. Increasing accuracy in classification, especially when dealing with large datasets and many classes, involves a combination of data preprocessing, model selection, regularization techniques, and fine-tuning. The results indicate that the Multilayer Perception algorithm gives 89.48%, the Naïve Bayes Classifier gives 89.63%, Convolutional Neural Networks has 88.72%, and the Hoeffding Tree algorithm gives 89.92% accuracy for the classification of 99 label plant leaf classification problems.

A Reparameterization Feature Redundancy Extract Network for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Detection

In unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) detection, challenges such as occlusion, complex backgrounds, motion blur, and inference time often lead to false detections and missed detections. General object detection frameworks encounter difficulties in adequately tackling these challenges, leading to substantial information loss during network downsampling, inadequate feature fusion, and being unable to meet real-time requirements. In this paper, we propose a Real-Time Small Object Detection YOLO (RTSOD-YOLO) model to tackle the various challenges faced in UAVs detection. We further enhance the adaptive nature of the Adown module by incorporating an adaptive spatial attention mechanism. This mechanism processes the downsampled feature maps, enabling the model to better focus on key regions. Secondly, to address the issue of insufficient feature fusion, we employ combined serial and parallel triple feature encoding (TFE). This approach fuses scale-sequence features from both shallow features and twice-encoded features, resulting in a new small-scale object detection layer. While enhancing the global context awareness of the existing detection layers, this also enriches the small-scale object detection layer with detailed information. Since rich redundant features often ensure a comprehensive understanding of the input, which is a key characteristic of deep neural networks, we propose a more efficient redundant feature generation module. This module generates more feature maps with fewer parameters. Additionally, we introduce reparameterization techniques to compensate for potential feature loss while further improving the model’s inference speed. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed RTSOD-YOLO achieves superior detection performance, with mAP50/mAP50:95 reaching 97.3%/51.7%, which represents improvement of 3%/3.5% over YOLOv8, and 2.6%/0.1% higher than YOLOv10. Additionally, it has the lowest parameter count and FLOPs, making it highly efficient in terms of computational resources.

Graph Representation Learning Enhanced Semi-Supervised Feature Selection

Feature selection is a key step in machine learning by eliminating features that are not related to the modeling target to create reliable and interpretable models. By exploring the potential complex correlations among features of unlabeled data, recently introduced self-supervision-enhanced feature selection greatly reduces the reliance on the labeled samples. However, they are generally based on the autoencoder with sample-wise self-supervision, which can hardly exploit the relations among samples. To address this limitation, this article proposes graph representation learning enhanced semi-supervised feature selection (G-FS) which performs feature selection based on the discovery and exploitation of the non-Euclidean relations among features and samples by translating unlabeled “plain” tabular data into a bipartite graph. A self-supervised edge prediction task is designed to distill rich information on the graph into low-dimensional embeddings, which remove redundant features and noise. Guided by the condensed graph representation, we propose a batch attention feature weight generation mechanism that generates more robust weights according to batch-based selection patterns rather than individual samples. The results show that G-FS achieves significant performance edges in 14 datasets compared to twelve state-of-the-art baselines, including two recent self-supervised baselines. The source code is public available at https://github.com/Icannotnamemyselff/G-FS_Graph_enhacned_feature_selection .

MagNet: Multilevel Dynamic Wavelet Graph Neural Network for Multivariate Time Series Classification

Multivariate time series classification (MTSC) is a fundamental data mining task, which is widely applied in the fields like health care and energy management. However, the existing MTSC methods are mostly adapted from univariate versions and model the static patterns among series in the time domain. We argue they fail to capture the inter-dependencies across variables and rarely consider the unique dynamic features in multilevel frequencies, which are susceptible to signal noise and lack sufficient feature extraction capability to achieve satisfactory classification accuracy. To address these issues, we propose a novel M ultilevel dyn a mic wavelet g raph neural Net work called MagNet, which effectively captures inherent temporal-frequency dependencies in multivariate time series data in a global view, facilitating the information flow among interrelated variables and leveraging learnable graph neural networks (GNNs) to uncover dynamic frequency dependencies. We propose an orthogonal temporal convolution layer that utilizes soft orthogonal losses to constrain features learned at different frequency components to reduce feature redundancy. Additionally, we introduce a hierarchical graph coarsening operator to address the flat learning challenges in traditional GNNs. Our dynamic wavelet graph neural network and hierarchical coarsening enable deep model stacking and end-to-end learning. Extensive experiments on 30 UEA benchmarks demonstrate that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines in the MTSC tasks.

Pred-AHCP: Robust Feature Selection-Enabled Sequence-Specific Prediction of Anti-Hepatitis C Peptides via Machine Learning.

Every year, an estimated 1.5 million people worldwide contract Hepatitis C, a significant contributor to liver problems. Although many studies have explored machine learning's potential to predict antiviral peptides, very few have addressed the problem of predicting peptides against specific viruses such as Hepatitis C. In this study, we demonstrate the application and fine-tuning of machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict peptides that are effective against Hepatitis C virus (HCV). We developed a fine-tuned and explainable ML model that harnesses the amino acid sequence of a peptide to predict its anti-hepatitis C potential. Specifically, features were computed based on sequence and physicochemical properties. The feature selection was performed using a combined strategy of mutual information and variance inflation factor. This facilitated the removal of redundant and multicollinear features, enhancing the model's generalizability in predicting anti-hepatitis C peptides (AHCPs). The model using the random forest algorithm produced the best performance with an accuracy of about 92%. The feature analysis highlights that the distributions of hydrophobicity, polarizability, coil-forming residues, frequency of glycine residues and the existence of dipeptide motifs VL, LV, and CC emerged as the key predictors for identifying AHCPs targeting different components of HCV. The developed model can be accessed through the Pred-AHCP web server, provided at http://tinyurl.com/web-Pred-AHCP. This resource facilitates the prediction and re-engineering of AHCPs for designing peptide-based therapeutics while also proposing an exploration of similar strategies for designing peptide inhibitors effective against other viruses. The developed ML model can also be used for validating peptide sequences generated using generative artificial intelligence methods for further optimization.

Mobile Apps for the Personal Safety of At-Risk Children and Youth: Scoping Review.

Personal safety is a widespread public health issue that affects people of all demographics. There is a growing interest in the use of mobile apps for enhancing personal safety, particularly for children and youth at risk, who are among the most vulnerable groups in society. This study aims to explore what is known about the use of mobile apps for personal safety among children and youth identified to be "at risk." A scoping review following published methodological guidelines was conducted. In total, 5 databases (Scopus, SocINDEX, PsycINFO, Compendex, and Inspec Archive) were searched for relevant scholarly articles published between January 2005 and October 2023. The gray literature was searched using Google and Google Scholar search engines. The results were reported using the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. For summarizing the features and users' experiences of the apps, a published framework for evaluating the quality of mobile health apps for youth was used. A total of 1986 articles were identified, and 41 (2.1%) were included in the review. Nine personal safety apps were captured and categorized into 4 groups based on the goals of the apps, as follows: dating and sexual violence prevention (n=4, 44% of apps), bullying and school violence prevention (n=2, 22% of apps), self-harm and suicide prevention (n=2, 22% of apps), and homeless youth support (n=1, 11% of apps). Of the 41 articles, 25 (61%) provided data solely on app descriptions and features, while the remaining 16 (39%) articles provided data on app evaluations and descriptions. Outcomes focused on app engagement, users' experiences, and effectiveness. Four articles reported on app use, 3 (75%) of which reported relatively high app use. Data on users' experience were obtained from 13 studies. In general, participants found the app features to be easy to use and useful as educational resources and personal safety tools. Most of the views were positive. Negative perceptions included redundancy of app features and a lack of usefulness. Five apps were evaluated for effectiveness (n=2, 40% dating and sexual violence prevention; n=2, 40% self-harm and suicide prevention; and n=1, 20% bullying and school violence prevention) and were all associated with a statistically significant reduction (P=.001 to .048) in harm or risk to participants at the 95% CI. Although many personal safety apps are available, few studies have specifically evaluated those designed for youth. However, the evidence suggests that mobile safety apps generally appear to be beneficial for reducing harm to at-risk children and youth without any associated adverse events. Recommendations for future research have been made to strengthen the evidence and increase the availability of effective personal safety apps for children and youth.

Rapid lithological mapping using multi-source remote sensing data fusion and automatic sample generation strategy

ABSTRACT The advancement of remote sensing technology aids geologists in obtaining lithological maps more quickly, comprehensively, and accurately. However, key challenges in lithological mapping include the limited spectral information from individual sensors and the difficulties in visually interpreting lithological samples. In this study, we integrated 241 scenes of optical data and 106 scenes of radar data on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, proposing a rapid lithological identification framework that combines an automatic lithological sample data generation strategy with multi-source data. Using various machine learning algorithms, we evaluated the classification capabilities of heterogeneous predictive factors, feature optimization algorithms, and object-based algorithms. Results indicate that: (1) Combining optical and radar data improves prediction accuracy, with terrain data further enhancing mapping capabilities; (2) Terrain factors contribute most to classification, but SWIR and TIR bands of optical data are critical for lithological identification; (3) The feature optimization algorithm reduces feature redundancy and efficiency issues from multi-source data, achieving 96.51% accuracy with the optimal feature model, an improvement of 0.1%−2.02% over original features; (4) Object-based algorithms show significant potential in mapping areas with large rock outcrops. This study offers new insights for medium- to large-scale lithological maps and provides essential data support for geological work.

Fitness and historical success information-assisted binary particle swarm optimization for feature selection

Feature selection is a critical preprocessing step in machine learning aimed at identifying the most relevant features or variables from a dataset. Although conventional particle swarm optimization (PSO) has shown efficiency for feature selection tasks, developing an effective PSO algorithm for this task is still challenging. This study proposes a fitness and historical success information-assisted binary particle swarm optimization, denoted by FPSO. The FPSO is developed by integrating different search strategies, including a weighted center-based approach, historical information-based acceleration coefficients, and selection operation. These strategies are embedded into the FPSO to enhance the levels of exploration and exploitation based on the fitness value of particles and their historical search status. In the FPSO, the transfer function is also added to transform the continuous search space into binary search space. Experimental validation and comparison with seven other metaheuristic algorithms on 24 datasets verify the effectiveness of the FPSO in eliminating irrelevant and redundant features.

Hyperspectral Inversion of Soil Cu Content in Agricultural Land Based on Continuous Wavelet Transform and Stacking Ensemble Learning

Heavy metal pollution in agricultural land poses significant threats to both the ecological environment and human health. Therefore, the rapid and accurate prediction of heavy metal content in agricultural soil is crucial for environmental protection and soil remediation. Acknowledging the limitations of traditional single linear or nonlinear machine learning models in terms of prediction accuracy, this study developed an ensemble learning model that integrates multiple linear or nonlinear learning models with a random forest (RF) model to improve both the prediction accuracy and reliability. In this study, we selected a typical copper (Cu) polluted area in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong Province as the research site and collected Cu content data and indoor soil reflectance spectral data from 269 surface soil samples. First, the soil spectral data were preprocessed using Savitzky–Golay (SG) smoothing, multiplicative scattering correction (MSC), and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) to reduce noise interference. Next, principal components analysis (PCA) was employed to reduce the dimensionality of the preprocessed spectral data, eliminating redundant features and lowering the computational complexity. Finally, based on the dimensionality-reduced data and Cu content, we established a stacked ensemble learning model, where the base models included SVR, PLSR, BPNN, and XGBoost, with RF serving as the meta-model to estimate the soil heavy metal content. To evaluate the performance of the stacking model, we compared its prediction accuracy with that of individual models. The results indicate that, compared to the traditional machine learning models, the prediction accuracy of the stacking model was superior (R2 = 0.77; RMSE = 7.65 mg/kg; RPD = 2.29). This suggests that the integrated algorithm demonstrates a greater robustness and generalization capability. This study presents a method to improve soil heavy metal content estimation using hyperspectral technology, ensuring a robust model that supports policymakers in making informed decisions about land use, agriculture, and environmental protection.

Broad Distributed Game Learning for intelligent classification in rolling bearing fault diagnosis

As a new Single Layer Feedforward Network (SLFN) architecture, Broad Learning System (BLS) has been widely used in the field of fault diagnosis because of its fast-training speed and high generalization capability. However, when features in different classes of signals are similar or weak, BLS generates a large number of redundant features that may be difficult to classify accurately. In view of this, a new Broad Distributed Game Learning (BDGL) method is proposed in this paper, which maps data into the game space by constructing two non-parallel game hyperplanes to achieve game and segmentation of different similar features, thereby making the data linearly differentiable in the game space. Meanwhile, a linear distribution constraint term is designed to reduce noise fitting and weak feature learning in training data learning by limiting the complexity of model parameters, thereby making the solution of the objective function simpler and faster. By comparing the Precision, Recall, F-score, Kappa and Accuracy of BDGL and the comparison methods on the two types of rolling bearing experimental data, the results show that BDGL has a high classification accuracy. In addition, the experimental results on small and noisy samples once again demonstrate the effectiveness of BDGL, which provides an efficient solution for rolling bearing fault diagnosis.

Feature selection and fusion in ship radiated noise-based underwater target recognition have remained challenging tasks. This paper proposes a novel feature extraction method based on multi-dimensional feature selection and fusion. Redundant features are filtered through feature visualization techniques. The Sub-regional Feature Enhancement modules (SFE) and Multi-activated Channel Aggregation modules (MCA) within the neural network are utilized to achieve underwater target recognition. Experimental results indicate that our network, named Sub-Regional Channel Aggregation Net (SRCA-Net), utilizing 3-s sound segments for ship radiated noise recognition, surpasses existing models, achieving an accuracy of 78.52% on the public DeepShip dataset.

Smart grid stability prediction using Adaptive Aquila Optimizer and ensemble stacked BiLSTM

BackgroundSmart grids, characterized by their ability to integrate renewable energy sources and manage the dynamic balance between supply and demand, require sophisticated prediction models to maintain stability. Traditional machine learning (ML) models often fall short in predicting the highly variable nature of smart grid operations. MethodsThis study introduces an ensemble stacked bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory model enhanced by a proposed Adaptive Aquila Optimizer (AAO). The AAO uses a Sigmoid Factor to balance exploration and exploitation, adapting the transition from broad searches to focused ones based on iteration progress. It is utilized for feature selection by identifying and excluding irrelevant and redundant features and methodically evaluates seven key hyperparameters to fine-tune the model's performance. Additionally, a weighted voting mechanism is employed to aggregate predictions in the ensemble model. ResultsMultiple rounds of empirical experiments using different sets of optimizers and configurations, supported by the visualization capabilities of TensorBoard, demonstrate significant improvements in the performance of the AAO-BiLSTM model. The results show profound potential with accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score rates of 99.55%, surpassing both traditional ML algorithms and state-of-the-art approaches.

PII-GCNet: Lightweight Multi-Modal CNN Network for Efficient Crowd Counting and Localization in UAV RGB-T Images

With the increasing need for real-time crowd evaluation in military surveillance, public safety, and event crowd management, crowd counting using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) captured images has emerged as an essential research topic. While conventional RGB-based methods have achieved significant success, their performance is severely hampered in low-light environments due to poor visibility. Integrating thermal infrared (TIR) images can address this issue, but existing RGB-T crowd counting networks, which employ multi-stream architectures, tend to introduce computational redundancy and excessive parameters, rendering them impractical for UAV applications constrained by limited onboard resources. To overcome these challenges, this research introduces an innovative, compact RGB-T framework designed to minimize redundant feature processing and improve multi-modal representation. The proposed approach introduces a Partial Information Interaction Convolution (PIIConv) module to selectively minimize redundant feature computations and a Global Collaborative Fusion (GCFusion) module to improve multi-modal feature representation through spatial attention mechanisms. Empirical findings indicate that the introduced network attains competitive results on the DroneRGBT dataset while significantly reducing floating-point operations (FLOPs) and improving inference speed across various computing platforms. This study’s significance is in providing a computationally efficient framework for RGB-T crowd counting that balances accuracy and resource efficiency, making it ideal for real-time UAV deployment.

The cascade integration model based on machine learning to predict gestational diabetes

Abstract Machine learning has significant superiority in disease prediction and auxiliary clinical decisions due to its powerful data analysis and exploration capabilities. Making accurate predictions about gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with clinical data is not always an easy task. In previous work, GDM was predicted using machine learning models and integrated learning models such as Stacking. This work improves on previous work by developing a new integrated learning model building approach for better exploiting the benefits of machine learning models. Initially, the clinical data set is normalized. Then, according to the principle of removing the redundant features of each machine learning model, the first nine high-importance features of the five single models are filtered respectively. Finally, the GDM Cascade integration prediction model is constructed and compared with the Blending model and Stacking model, it is obvious that the proposed model construction method has superior performance and the AUC value reaches 0.9536.

Deformable dose prediction network based on hybrid 2D and 3D convolution for nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy.

Radiotherapy is recognized as the primary treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Rapid and accurate dose prediction is crucial for enhancing the quality and efficiency of radiotherapy planning. However, the current dose prediction model based on 2D architecture cannot effectively learn the spatial information among slices. Although some studies have explored the incorporation of interslice features through 3D architecture, the resolution properties of medical image anisotropy significantly limit the predictive performance. To address the issues, we propose a novel deformable dose prediction network based on hybrid 2D and 3D convolution for NPC radiotherapy. Specifically, the proposed model innovatively incorporates a 2.5D architecture based on hybrid 2D and 3D convolution, and effectively utilizes the directional information within anisotropic resolutions to achieve cross-scale feature extraction. Additionally, deformable convolution is introduced into the model to enhance the receptive field and effectively handle multi-scale spatial transformations. To improve channel correlation and reduce redundant features, we design a Residual Deformable Squeeze-and-Excitation Module. We conduct extensive experiments on an internal dataset, and the results show that the proposed model outperforms other existing methods in most dosimetric criteria. The proposed model has superior dose prediction performance in NPC radiotherapy, and has important clinical significance for assisting physicists to optimize the treatment plan and improve standardization of radiotherapy planning.

MRI-Driven Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis Using Deep Network Fusion and Optimal Selection of Feature

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a degenerative neurological condition characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss, and reduced everyday function, which eventually causes dementia. Symptoms develop years after the disease begins, making early detection difficult. While AD remains incurable, timely detection and prompt treatment can substantially slow its progression. This study presented a framework for automated AD detection using brain MRIs. Firstly, the deep network information (i.e., features) were extracted using various deep-learning networks. The information extracted from the best deep networks (EfficientNet-b0 and MobileNet-v2) were merged using the canonical correlation approach (CCA). The CCA-based fused features resulted in an enhanced classification performance of 94.7% with a large feature vector size (i.e., 2532). To remove the redundant features from the CCA-based fused feature vector, the binary-enhanced WOA was utilized for optimal feature selection, which yielded an average accuracy of 98.12 ± 0.52 (mean ± standard deviation) with only 953 features. The results were compared with other optimal feature selection techniques, showing that the binary-enhanced WOA results are statistically significant (p < 0.01). The ablation study was also performed to show the significance of each step of the proposed methodology. Furthermore, the comparison shows the superiority and high classification performance of the proposed automated AD detection approach, suggesting that the hybrid approach may help doctors with dementia detection and staging.

PredPVP: A Stacking Model for Predicting Phage Virion Proteins Based on Feature Selection Methods

Background: Phage therapy has a broad application prospect as a novel therapeutic method, and Phage Virion Proteins (PVP) can recognize the host and bind to surface receptors, which is of great significance for the development of antimicrobial drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases caused by bacteria. In recent years, several PVP predictors based on machine learning have been developed, which usually use a single feature to train the learner. In contrast, higher dimensional feature representations tend to contain more potential sequence information. Methods: In this work, we construct a stacking model PredPVP for PVP prediction by combining multiple features and using feature selection methods. Specifically, the sequence is first encoded using seven features. For this high-dimensional feature representation, three feature selection methods wereutilized to remove redundant features, then integrated with eight machine learning algorithms. Finally, probability features and class features (PCFs) generated by 24 base models were put into logistic regression (LR) to train the model. Results: The results of the independent test set indicate that PredPVP has higher performance compared to other existing predictors, with an AUC of 93.4%. Conclusion: We expect PredPVP to be used as a tool for large-scale PVP recognition, providing a new way for the development of novel antimicrobials and accelerating its application in actual treatment. The datasets and source codes used in this study are available at https://github.com/caoqian23/PredPVP.

Log Volume Measurement and Counting Based on Improved Cascade Mask R-CNN and Deep SORT

Logs require multiple verifications to ensure accurate volume and quantity measurements. Log end detection is a crucial step in measuring log volume and counting logs. Currently, this task primarily relies on the Mask R-CNN instance segmentation model. However, the Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) in Mask R-CNN may compromise accuracy due to feature redundancy during multi-scale fusion, particularly with small objects. Moreover, counting logs in a single image is challenging due to their large size and stacking. To address the above issues, we propose an improved log segmentation model based on Cascade Mask R-CNN. This method uses ResNet for multi-scale feature extraction and integrates a hierarchical Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) to refine feature weights and enhance object emphasis. Then, a Region Proposal Network (RPN) is employed to generate log segmentation proposals. Finally, combined with Deep SORT, the model tracks log ends in video streams and counts the number of logs in the stack. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, achieving an average precision (AP) of 82.3, APs of 75.3 for small, APm of 70.9 for medium, and APl of 86.2 for large objects. These results represent improvements of 1.8%, 3.7%, 2.6%, and 1.4% over Mask R-CNN, respectively. The detection rate reached 98.6%, with a counting accuracy of 95%. Compared to manually measured volumes, our method shows a low error rate of 4.07%.

Ensemble-Enhanced Semi-Supervised Learning with Optimized Graph Construction for High-Dimensional Data.

Graph-based methods have demonstrated exceptional performance in semi-supervised classification. However, existing graph-based methods typically construct either a predefined graph in the original space or an adaptive graph within the output space, which often limits their ability to fully utilize prior information and capture the optimal intrinsic data distribution, particularly in high-dimensional data with abundant redundant and noisy features. This paper introduces a novel approach: Semi-Supervised Classification with Optimized Graph Construction (SSC-OGC). SSC-OGC leverages both predefined and adaptive graphs to explore intrinsic data distribution and effectively employ prior information. Additionally, a graph constraint regularization term (GCR) and a collaborative constraint regularization term (CCR) are incorporated to further enhance the quality of the adaptive graph structure and the learned subspace, respectively. To eliminate the negative effect of constructing a predefined graph in the original data space, we further propose a Hybrid Subspace Ensemble-enhanced framework based on the proposed Optimized Graph Construction method (HSE-OGC). Specifically, we construct multiple hybrid subspaces, which consist of meticulously chosen features from the original data to achieve high-quality and diverse space representations. Then, HSE-OGC constructs multiple predefined graphs within hybrid subspaces and trains multiple SSC-OGC classifiers to complement each other, significantly improving the overall performance. Experimental results conducted on various high-dimensional datasets demonstrate that HSE-OGC exhibits outstanding performance.
