Collaboration beats heterogeneity: Improving federated learning-based waste classification

Based on the success of deep learning, recent works have attempted to develop a waste classification model using deep neural networks. This work presents federated learning (FL) for a solution, as it allows participants to aid in training the model using their own data. Results showed that with less clients, having a higher participation ratio resulted in less accuracy degradation by the data heterogeneity.

Exploring the Factors that Drive Coffee Ratings

This study explores the factors that influence coffee quality ratings using data from the Coffee Quality Institute. Through a regression model based on gradient descent, the authors aimed to predict coffee ratings (total cup points) and hypothesized that sweetness and the coffee producer would be the most influential factors.
