The purpose of this study was to determine the necessity of previous non-algorithmic attacks (Adversarial Training) in light of algorithmic defense methods (Gradient Masking and Defensive Distillation) against FGSM attacks. We found a significant increase in image classification accuracy from defense methods with the non-algorithmic defense method compared to ones without. By analyzing the significance with a McNemar test, we determined that the inclusion of non-algorithmic defense methods is still necessary in light of new algorithmic defense methods.

Studying exoplanets, or planets that orbit a star other than the Sun, is critical to a greater understanding the formation of planets and how Earth's solar system differs from others. In this study the authors analyze the transit light curves of three hot Jupiter exoplanets to ultimately determine if and how these planets have changed since their discovery.

Multi-perspective drone imagery (adding oblique views to top-down shots) raised crop classification accuracy from 35.73% to 52.93% across five species. The improvement scaled with canopy complexity, from +4.2% for simple rice to +38.1% for structurally complex sugarcane.

The authors studied the accuracy of two commonly used explainable AI techniques for detecting pneumonia in chest x-rays.

Autonomous drone imaging combined with machine learning offers a promising approach for early detection of invasive species. In this study, students built an autonomous drone and compared three models: CNN, SGDC, and XGBoost, to identify Brassica nigra from aerial footage. Their results show that CNNs most effectively recognize key visual features, demonstrating strong potential for supporting conservation and invasive plant management.

This article investigates whether induction heating can speed up static recrystallization in AISI 4130 steel compared with traditional radiant heating. It was found that induction-heated samples recrystallized faster, softened more quickly, and showed earlier microstructural changes like grain nucleation and pearlite spheroidization, suggesting induction heating could be a more efficient alternative for industrial metal heat treatments.

The authors investigated the impact of light pollution on astrophotography.

The authors looked at using computer vision to evaluate the degree of exotropia in individuals with strabismus.

The authors use blood smears from individuals with sickle cell disease to correlate sickle cell frequency with the occurrence of vaso-occlusive crises.

The authors used machine learning to predict the presence of anxiety and burnout in students based on facial expressions and demographic information.
