Effective Facial Expression Recognition System Using Machine Learning

The co Facial expression recognition (FER) is a topic that has seen a lot of study in computer vision and machine learning. In recent years, deep learning techniques have shown remarkable progress on FER tasks. With this abstract, A Novel Is Advised By Us FER method that combines combined use of k-nearest neighbours and long short-term memory algorithms better efficiency and accurate facial expression recognition. The proposed system features two primary steps—feature extraction and classification—to get results. When extracting features, we extract features from the facial images using the Local Binary Patterns (LBP) algorithm. LBP is a simple yet powerful feature extraction technique that captures texture information from the image. In the classification stage, we use the KNN and LSTM algorithms for facial expression recognition. KNN is a simple and effective classification algorithm that finds the k closest to the given value neighbours to the test training-set-sample and assigning it to the class that is most frequent among its neighbours. However, KNN has limitations in handling temporal information. To address this limitation, we propose to use LSTM, which is a subclass of RNNs capable of capturing temporal relationships in time series data. The LSTM network takes as input the LBP features of a sequence of facial images and processes them through a series of LSTM cells to estimate the ultimate coding of the phrase. We examine the planned and system on two publicly available records: the CK+ and the Oulu-CASIA datasets. According on the experimental findings, the proposed system achieves performance at the cutting edge on both datasets. The proposed system performs better than other state-of-the-art methods, including those that use deep learning systems, quantitatively, in terms of F1-score and precision.In conclusion, the proposed FER system that combines KNN and LSTM algorithms achieves high accuracy and an F1 score in recognising facial expressions from sequences of images. This system can be used in many contexts, including human-computer interaction, emotion detection, and behaviour analysis.

An efficient hybrid bert model for brain tumor classification

The central nervous system can develop complex and deadly neoplastic growths called brain tumors. Despite being relatively uncommon in comparison to other cancers, brain tumors pose particular challenges because of their delicate anatomical placement and interactions with critical brain regions. The data are taken from TCIA (The Cancer Image Archive) and Kaggle Datasets. Images are first pre-processed using amplified median filter techniques. The pre-processed images are then segmented using the Grabcut method. Feature extraction is extracted using the Shape, ABCD rule, and GLCM are the features were retrieved. The MRI images are then classified into several classes using the Bi-directional Encoder Representations from Transformers-Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (BERT-Bi-LSTM) model. Kaggle and TICA datasets are used to simulate the proposed approach, and the results are evaluated in terms of F1-score, recall, precision and accuracy. The proposed model shows improved brain tumour identification and classification. To evaluate the expected technique’s efficacy, a thorough comparison of the current techniques with preceding methods is made. The trial results showed that an efficient hybrid bert model for brain tumor classification suggested strategy provided precision of 98.65%, F1-score of 98.25%, recall of 99.25%, and accuracy of 99.75%.

Data Augmentation Techniques for Accurate Action Classification in Stroke Patients with Hemiparesis.

Stroke survivors with hemiparesis require extensive home-based rehabilitation. Deep learning-based classifiers can detect actions and provide feedback based on patient data; however, this is difficult owing to data sparsity and heterogeneity. In this study, we investigate data augmentation and model training strategies to address this problem. Three transformations are tested with varying data volumes to analyze the changes in the classification performance of individual data. Moreover, the impact of transfer learning relative to a pre-trained one-dimensional convolutional neural network (Conv1D) and training with an advanced InceptionTime model are estimated with data augmentation. In Conv1D, the joint training data of non-disabled (ND) participants and double rotationally augmented data of stroke patients is observed to outperform the baseline in terms of F1-score (60.9% vs. 47.3%). Transfer learning pre-trained with ND data exhibits 60.3% accuracy, whereas joint training with InceptionTime exhibits 67.2% accuracy under the same conditions. Our results indicate that rotational augmentation is more effective for individual data with initially lower performance and subset data with smaller numbers of participants than other techniques, suggesting that joint training on rotationally augmented ND and stroke data enhances classification performance, particularly in cases with sparse data and lower initial performance.

Convolutional neural networks for hydrothermal vents substratum classification: An introspective study

The increasing availability of seabed images has created new opportunities and challenges for monitoring and better understanding the spatial distribution of fauna and substrata. To date, however, deep-sea substratum classification relies mostly on visual interpretation, which is costly, time-consuming, and prone to human bias or error. Motivated by the success of convolutional neural networks in learning semantically rich representations directly from images, this work investigates the application of state-of-the-art network architectures, originally employed in the classification of non-seabed images, for the task of hydrothermal vent substrata image classification. In assessing their potential, we conduct a study on the generalization, complementarity and human interpretability aspects of those architectures. Specifically, we independently trained deep learning models with the selected architectures using images obtained from three distinct sites within the Lucky-Strike vent field and assessed the models' performances on-site as well as off-site. To investigate complementarity, we evaluated a classification decision committee (CDC) built as an ensemble of networks in which individual predictions were fused through a majority voting scheme. The experimental results demonstrated the suitability of the deep learning models for deep-sea substratum classification, attaining accuracies reaching up to 80% in terms of F1-score. Finally, by further investigating the classification uncertainty computed from the set of individual predictions of the CDC, we describe a semiautomatic framework for human annotation, which prescribes visual inspection of only the images with high uncertainty. Overall, the results demonstrated that high accuracy values of over 90% F1-score can be obtained with the framework, with a small amount of human intervention.

APRE: Annotation-Aware Prompt-Tuning for Relation Extraction

AbstractPrompt-tuning has been successfully applied to support classification tasks in natural language processing and has achieved promising performance. The main characteristic of prompt-tuning based classification is to verbalize class labels and predict masked tokens like a cloze-like task. It has the advantage to make use of knowledge in pre-trained language models (PLMs). Because prompt templates are manually designed, they are more prone to overfitting. Furthermore, traditional prompt templates are appended in the tail of an original sentence. They are far from some semantic units in a sentence. It is weak to decode semantic information of an input relevant to PLMs. To aggregate more semantic information from PLMs for masked token prediction, we propose an annotation-aware prompt-tuning model for relation extraction. In our method, entity type representations are used as entity annotations. They are implanted near the site of entities in a sentence for decoding semantic information of PLMs. It is effective to make full use of knowledge in PLMs for relation extraction. In the experiment section, our method is validated on the Chinese literature text and SemEval 2010 Task datasets and achieves 89.3% and 90.6% in terms of F1-score, respectively. It achieves the state-of-the-art performance on two public datasets. The result further demonstrates the effectiveness of our model to decode semantic information in PLMs.

A credit scoring ensemble model incorporating fuzzy clustering particle swarm optimization algorithm

The emergence of credit has generated a wealth of data on consumer lending behavior. In recent years, financial institutions have also started to use such data to make informed lending decisions based on fine-grained customer data, but conventional risk assessment models are inadequate in meeting the risk control requirements of the financial industry. Therefore, this paper proposes a credit scoring ensemble model incorporating fuzzy clustering particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to obtain better credit risk prediction capability. First, a weighted outlier detection method based on the Induced Ordered Weighted Average Operator is proposed to preprocess the data to reduce noisy data’s misleading effect on model training. Then, an undersampling method combined with fuzzy clustering PSO is proposed to overcome the negative effect of category imbalance on model training by resampling the data. In addition, a hyperparameter optimization framework is introduced to adaptively adjust important parameters in the ensemble model considering the impact of parameter settings on the training performance of the model. Based on the evaluation metrics of F-score, AUC, and Kappa coefficient, an empirical analysis was conducted on five credit risk datasets. The results show that the proposed method outperforms the comparative model with an improvement of 10% to 50% in terms of F-score and AUC. The highest achieved F-score is 0.9488, and the maximum AUC is 0.9807, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method. The kappa coefficient results indicate a high level of consistency in the predicted classification results of the model.

Study and Performance Evaluation of Brain MRI Images Using Aartificial Intelligence

The limits and potential of medical imaging are expanded by artificial intelligence. Therefore, in an effort to improve the performance and accuracy of diagnosing brain abnormalities, researchers are constantly working to create an effective and automated diagnosis method. Tumour identification and diagnosis have been achieved by the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Medical professionals can identify and categorise tumours as normal or abnormal with the aid of digital image processing. This research focuses on various neural networks for brain MRI tumour and non-tumour image categorization and confusion matrix performance evaluation. Otsu's thresholding approach is used for segmentation out of all the segmentation techniques. For feature extraction, a grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) is employed. The classification techniques utilized in this study produce the necessary results in terms of confusion matrix parameters, which may be used to assess the classifier's performance in terms of F1 score, accuracy, sensitivity, and precision.

A Semisupervised Approach for Industrial Anomaly Detection via Self-Adaptive Clustering

With the rapid development of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), log-based anomaly detection has become vital for smart industrial construction that has prompted many researchers to contribute. To detect anomalies based on log data, semi-supervised approaches stand out from supervised and unsupervised approaches because they only require a portion of labeled data and are relatively stable. However, the state-of-the-art semi-supervised approaches still suffer from two main problems: manual parameter setting and unsatisfactory performance with high false positives. We propose AdaLog, an integrated semi-supervised approach based on self-adaptive clustering, for industrial anomaly detection. In particular, the clustering step performs automatic label probability estimation by distinguishing twelve situations so that the label probability of each unlabeled data can be carefully calculated, leading to high accuracy. In addition, AdaLog employs a pre-trained model to learn contextual information comprehensively and a transformer-based model to detect anomalies efficiently. To alleviate class imbalance, an undersampling method is incorporated. The results on three popular datasets demonstrate that AdaLog significantly outperforms three state-of-the-art semi-supervised approaches by 17.8%–2,489.8% on average in terms of F1-score, and is even superior to two supervised approaches in most cases with average improvements of 10.9%–23.8%.

EnNuSegNet: Enhancing Weakly Supervised Nucleus Segmentation through Feature Preservation and Edge Refinement

Nucleus segmentation plays a crucial role in tissue pathology image analysis. Despite significant progress in cell nucleus image segmentation algorithms based on fully supervised learning, the large number and small size of cell nuclei pose a considerable challenge in terms of the substantial workload required for label annotation. This difficulty in acquiring datasets has become exceptionally challenging. This paper proposes a novel weakly supervised nucleus segmentation method that only requires point annotations of the nuclei. The technique is an encoder–decoder network which enhances the weakly supervised nucleus segmentation performance (EnNuSegNet). Firstly, we introduce the Feature Preservation Module (FPM) in both encoder and decoder, which preserves more low-level features from the shallow layers of the network during the early stages of training while enhancing the network’s expressive capability. Secondly, we incorporate a Scale-Aware Module (SAM) in the bottleneck part of the network to improve the model’s perception of cell nuclei at different scales. Lastly, we propose a training strategy for nucleus edge regression (NER), which guides the model to optimize the segmented edges during training, effectively compensating for the loss of nucleus edge information and achieving higher-quality nucleus segmentation. Experimental results on two publicly available datasets demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches, with improvements of 2.02%, 1.41%, and 1.59% in terms of F1 score, Dice coefficient, and Average Jaccard Index (AJI), respectively. This indicates the effectiveness of our method in improving segmentation performance.

Identifying and Counting Avian Blood Cells in Whole Slide Images via Deep Learning

Avian blood analysis is a fundamental method for investigating a wide range of topics concerning individual birds and populations of birds. Determining precise blood cell counts helps researchers gain insights into the health condition of birds. For example, the ratio of heterophils to lymphocytes (H/L ratio) is a well-established index for comparing relative stress load. However, such measurements are currently often obtained manually by human experts. In this article, we present a novel approach to automatically quantify avian red and white blood cells in whole slide images. Our approach is based on two deep neural network models. The first model determines image regions that are suitable for counting blood cells, and the second model is an instance segmentation model that detects the cells in the determined image regions. The region selection model achieves up to 97.3% in terms of F1 score (i.e., the harmonic mean of precision and recall), and the instance segmentation model achieves up to 90.7% in terms of mean average precision. Our approach helps ornithologists acquire hematological data from avian blood smears more precisely and efficiently.

Nonintrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) Using a Deep Learning Model with a Transformer-Based Attention Mechanism and Temporal Pooling

Nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) is an important technique for energy management and conservation. In this paper, a deep learning model based on an attention mechanism, temporal pooling, residual connections, and transformers is proposed. This article presents a novel approach for NILM to accurately discern energy consumption patterns of individual household appliances. The proposed method entails a sequence of layers, including encoders, transformers, attention, temporal pooling, and residual connections, offering a comprehensive solution for NILM while effectively capturing appliance-specific energy usage in a household. The proposed model was evaluated using UK-DALE, REDD, and REFIT datasets in both seen and unseen cases. It shows that the proposed model in this paper performs better than other methods stated in other papers in terms of F1-score and total error of the results (in terms of SAE). This model achieved an F1-score equal to 92.96 as well as a total SAE equal to −0.036, which shows its effectiveness in accurately diagnosing and estimating the energy consumption of individual home appliances. The findings of this research show that the proposed model can be a tool for energy management in residential and commercial buildings.

Cardiac fat segmentation using computed tomography and an image-to-image conditional generative adversarial neural network

In recent years, research has highlighted the association between increased adipose tissue surrounding the human heart and elevated susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases such as atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease. However, the manual segmentation of these fat deposits has not been widely implemented in clinical practice due to the substantial workload it entails for medical professionals and the associated costs. Consequently, the demand for more precise and time-efficient quantitative analysis has driven the emergence of novel computational methods for fat segmentation. This study presents a novel deep learning-based methodology that offers autonomous segmentation and quantification of two distinct types of cardiac fat deposits. The proposed approach leverages the pix2pix network, a generative conditional adversarial network primarily designed for image-to-image translation tasks. By applying this network architecture, we aim to investigate its efficacy in tackling the specific challenge of cardiac fat segmentation, despite not being originally tailored for this purpose. The two types of fat deposits of interest in this study are referred to as epicardial and mediastinal fats, which are spatially separated by the pericardium. The experimental results demonstrated an average accuracy of 99.08% and f1-score 98.73 for the segmentation of the epicardial fat and 97.90% of accuracy and f1-score of 98.40 for the mediastinal fat. These findings represent the high precision and overlap agreement achieved by the proposed methodology. In comparison to existing studies, our approach exhibited superior performance in terms of f1-score and run time, enabling the images to be segmented in real time.

A new word embedding model integrated with medical knowledge for deep learning-based sentiment classification

The development of intelligent systems that use social media data for decision-making processes in numerous domains such as politics, business, marketing, and finance, has been made possible by the popularity of social media platforms. However, the utilization of textual data from social media in the healthcare management industry is still somewhat limited when it is compared to other industries. Investigating how current machine learning and natural language processing technologies can be used in the healthcare industry to gauge public sentiment is an important study. Earlier works on healthcare sentiment analysis have utilized traditional word embedding models trained on the general and medical corpus. However, integration of medical knowledge to pre-trained word embedding models has not been considered yet. Word embedding models trained on the general corpus led to the problem of lacking medical knowledge and the models trained on the small size of the medical corpus have limitations in capturing semantic and syntactic properties. This research proposes a new word embedding model named Word Embedding Integrated with Medical Knowledge Vector (WE-iMKVec). The proposed model integrates sentiment lexicons and medical knowledgebases into the pre-trained word embedding to enrich the properties of word embedding. A new medical-aware sentiment polarity score is proposed for the utilization in learning neural-network sentiment and these vectors incorporate with the original pre-trained word vectors. The resulting vectors are enriched with lexicon vectors and the medical knowledge vectors: Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) vector and Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) vector are used to build the proposed WE-iMKVec model. WE-iMKVec is validated on the five different social media healthcare review datasets and the empirical results showed its superiority over traditional word embedding models in medical sentiment analysis. The highest improvement can be found in the patients.info medical condition dataset where the proposed model outperforms three conventional word2vec models (Google-News, PubMed-PMC, and Drug Reviews) by 12.7 %, 31.4 %, and 25.4 % respectively in terms of F1 score.

Machine learning-based DDoS detection for IoT networks

DDoS attacks are one of the most dangerous threats to IoT networks, and they involve using attacker-controlled botnets to flood the network with malicious traffic that denies legitimate services. The global DDoS landscape is rapidly evolving, and it has become increasingly important for devices to quickly identify the types of DDoS attacks they face so that they can choose and implement effective countermeasures against known attacks. Machine learning has emerged as a popular approach for detecting DDoS traffic in IoT networks. This paper implements four machine learning models, namely Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Random Forest, to perform multiclass classification for DDoS attack detection. The study uses the CICDDoS2019 dataset for evaluation. The results show that all four models can detect most types of DDoS traffic effectively. The Random Forest model achieves the highest overall accuracy of 99.32%, followed by the Decision Tree model with an accuracy of 99.10%. The LSTM and SVM models have slightly lower accuracies at 98.20% and 93.00%, respectively. The study also evaluates the models' performance in terms of precision, recall, and F1 score. Decision Tree outperforms the other models in precision, while Random Forest has the highest recall score. Moreover, the Random Forest model performs the best in terms of the F1 score. In conclusion, this paper demonstrates the effectiveness of machine learning-based approaches for DDoS detection in IoT networks using four popular models. The results illustrate the potential for these models to provide reliable and accurate detection of DDoS traffic, thus enabling effective countermeasures to be taken against this type of attack.

A study of deep active learning methods to reduce labelling efforts in biomedical relation extraction

Automatic biomedical relation extraction (bioRE) is an essential task in biomedical research in order to generate high-quality labelled data that can be used for the development of innovative predictive methods. However, building such fully labelled, high quality bioRE data sets of adequate size for the training of state-of-the-art relation extraction models is hindered by an annotation bottleneck due to limitations on time and expertise of researchers and curators. We show here how Active Learning (AL) plays an important role in resolving this issue and positively improve bioRE tasks, effectively overcoming the labelling limits inherent to a data set. Six different AL strategies are benchmarked on seven bioRE data sets, using PubMedBERT as the base model, evaluating their area under the learning curve (AULC) as well as intermediate results measurements. The results demonstrate that uncertainty-based strategies, such as Least-Confident or Margin Sampling, are statistically performing better in terms of F1-score, accuracy and precision, than other types of AL strategies. However, in terms of recall, a diversity-based strategy, called Core-set, outperforms all strategies. AL strategies are shown to reduce the annotation need (in order to reach a performance at par with training on all data), from 6% to 38%, depending on the data set; with Margin Sampling and Least-Confident Sampling strategies moreover obtaining the best AULCs compared to the Random Sampling baseline. We show through the experiments the importance of using AL methods to reduce the amount of labelling needed to construct high-quality data sets leading to optimal performance of deep learning models. The code and data sets to reproduce all the results presented in the article are available at https://github.com/oligogenic/Deep_active_learning_bioRE.

Conception and evaluation of anomaly detection models for monitoring analytical parameters in wastewater treatment plants

The exponential growth of technology in recent decades has led to the emergence of some challenges inherent to this growth. One of these challenges is the enormous amount of data collected by the different sensors in our society, namely in management processes such as Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs). These infrastructures comprise several processes to treat wastewater and discharge clean water in water courses. Therefore, the concentration of pollutants must be below the allowable emissions limits. In this work, anomaly detection models were conceived, tuned and evaluated to monitor essential parameters such as nitrate and ammonia concentrations and pH to improve WWTP management. Four Machine Learning models were considered, particularly Local Outlier Fraction, Isolation Forest, One-Class Support Vector Machines and Long Short-Term Memory-Autoencoders (LSTM-AE), to detect anomalies in the three parameters mentioned. Through the different experiments, it was possible to verify that, in terms of F1-Score, the best candidate model for the three analyzed parameters was LSTM-AE-based, with a value consistently higher than 97%.

Predicting Patients' Satisfaction With Mental Health Drug Treatment Using Their Reviews: Unified Interchangeable Model Fusion Approach.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, the conflict between limited mental health care resources and the rapidly growing number of patients has become more pronounced. It is necessary for psychologists to borrow artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods to analyze patients' satisfaction with drug treatment for those undergoing mental illness treatment. Our goal was to construct highly accurate and transferable models for predicting the satisfaction of patients with mental illness with medication by analyzing their own experiences and comments related to medication intake. We extracted 41,851 reviews in 20 categories of disorders related to mental illnesses from a large public data set of 161,297 reviews in 16,950 illness categories. To discover a more optimal structure of the natural language processing models, we proposed the Unified Interchangeable Model Fusion to decompose the state-of-the-art Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), support vector machine, and random forest (RF) models into 2 modules, the encoder and the classifier, and then reconstruct fused "encoder+classifer" models to accurately evaluate patients' satisfaction. The fused models were divided into 2 categories in terms of model structures, traditional machine learning-based models and neural network-based models. A new loss function was proposed for those neural network-based models to overcome overfitting and data imbalance. Finally, we fine-tuned the fused models and evaluated their performance comprehensively in terms of F1-score, accuracy, κ coefficient, and training time using 10-fold cross-validation. Through extensive experiments, the transformer bidirectional encoder+RF model outperformed the state-of-the-art BERT, MentalBERT, and other fused models. It became the optimal model for predicting the patients' satisfaction with drug treatment. It achieved an average graded F1-score of 0.872, an accuracy of 0.873, and a κ coefficient of 0.806. This model is suitable for high-standard users with sufficient computing resources. Alternatively, it turned out that the word-embedding encoder+RF model showed relatively good performance with an average graded F1-score of 0.801, an accuracy of 0.812, and a κ coefficient of 0.695 but with much less training time. It can be deployed in environments with limited computing resources. We analyzed the performance of support vector machine, RF, BERT, MentalBERT, and all fused models and identified the optimal models for different clinical scenarios. The findings can serve as evidence to support that the natural language processing methods can effectively assist psychologists in evaluating the satisfaction of patients with drug treatment programs and provide precise and standardized solutions. The Unified Interchangeable Model Fusion provides a different perspective on building AI models in mental health and has the potential to fuse the strengths of different components of the models into a single model, which may contribute to the development of AI in mental health.

Polo: Adaptive Trie-Based Log Parser for Anomaly Detection

Automated log parsing is essential for many log-mining applications, as logs provide a vast range of information on events and variations within an operating system or software at runtime. Over the years, various methods have been proposed for log parsing. With improved log-parsing methods, log-mining applications can gain deeper insights into system behaviors and identify anomalies or failures promptly. However, current log parsers still face limitations, such as insufficient parsing of log templates and a lack of parallelism, as well as inaccurate log template parsing. To overcome these limitations, we have designed Polo, a parser that leverages a prefix forest composed of ternary search trees to mine templates from logs. We then conducted extensive experiments to evaluate the accuracy of Polo on nine representative system logs, achieving an average accuracy of 0.987. It is 9.93% to 40.95% faster than the state-of-the-art parsing methods. Furthermore, we evaluated our approach on a downstream log analysis task, specifically anomaly detection. The experimental results demonstrated that, in terms of F1-score, our parser outperformed Deeplog, LogAnomaly, CNN, and LogRobust by 11.5%, 4%, 1%, and 19.1%, respectively, exhibiting a promising recall score of 0.971. These results indicate the effectiveness of Polo for anomaly detection.

Evaluating automatic sentence alignment approaches on English-Slovak sentences

Parallel texts represent a very valuable resource in many applications of natural language processing. The fundamental step in creating parallel corpus is the alignment. Sentence alignment is the issue of finding correspondence between source sentences and their equivalent translations in the target text. A number of automatic sentence alignment approaches were proposed including neural networks, which can be divided into length-based, lexicon-based, and translation-based. In our study, we used five different aligners, namely Bilingual sentence aligner (BSA), Hunalign, Bleualign, Vecalign, and Bertalign. We evaluated both, the performance of the Bertalign in terms of accuracy against the up to now employed aligners as well as among each other in the language pair English-Sovak. We created our custom corpus consisting of texts collected in 2021 and 2022. Vecalign and Bertalign performed statistically significantly best and BSA the worst. Hunalign and Bleualign achieved the same performance in terms of F1 score. However, Bleualign achieved the most diverse results in terms of performance.

Enhancing the Classification of Imbalanced Datasets through the Utilization of the Provisional Clarifier-Alternator (cPAen)

Warmcomfort data is vital for enhancing heating and cooling system efficiency through ML (ML) models. Yet, these datasets often suffer from severe class imbalance due to subjective feedback. To tackle this issue, we introduce a data augmentation algorithm, Provisional Clarifier-Alternator (cPAen). In our research, we evaluated cPAen using real Warmcomfort data and found it outperformed SMOTE, ADASYN, and cWGAN-GP in terms of F1 scores. Notably, cPAen is over 5 times faster than cWGAN-GP while maintaining high test accuracy.
