This study uses interpretable machine learning models, lasso and ridge regression with Shapley analysis, to identify key sales drivers for Corporación Favorita, Ecuador’s largest grocery chain. The results show that macroeconomic factors, especially labor force size, have the greatest impact on sales, though geographic and seasonal variables like city altitude and holiday proximity also play important roles. These insights can help businesses focus on the most influential market conditions to enhance competitiveness and profitability.

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) allows users, especially those with paralysis, to control devices through brain activity. This study explored using a custom transformer model to decode neural signals into handwritten text for individuals with limited motor skills, comparing its performance to a traditional RNN-based BCI.

Athletes with performance anxiety may struggle to play their best and enjoy the game. Various factors may impact how much anxiety an athlete feels, including how much experience they have in the sport. Concha-Ortiz and Navins survey teenage club volleyball players to look for relationships between years of experience and performance anxiety symptoms.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is hard to correctly diagnose due to the very subjective nature of diagnosing it: behavior analysis. Due to this issue, we sought to find a machine learning-based method that diagnoses ASD without behavior analysis or helps reduce misdiagnosis.
Read More...Quantitative analysis and development of alopecia areata classification frameworks
This article discusses Alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder causing sudden hair loss due to the immune system mistakenly attacking hair follicles. The article introduces the use of deep learning (DL) techniques, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNN), for classifying images of healthy and alopecia-affected hair. The study presents a comparative analysis of newly optimized CNN models with existing ones, trained on datasets containing images of healthy and alopecia-affected hair. The Inception-Resnet-v2 model emerged as the most effective for classifying Alopecia Areata.

The authors investigate how well AI-detection machine learning models can detect real versus AI-generated art across different art styles.
Read More...The effect of activation function choice on the performance of convolutional neural networks
With the advance of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) is now applied widely in society. In the study of AI, machine learning (ML) is a subfield in which a machine learns to be better at performing certain tasks through experience. This work focuses on the convolutional neural network (CNN), a framework of ML, applied to an image classification task. Specifically, we analyzed the performance of the CNN as the type of neural activation function changes.
