Colonial breeding impacts potentially fitness-relevant cognitive processes in barn swallows by Angela Medina-García, Ellen Scherner, Molly T. McDermott, Mark E. Hauber, Rebecca J. Safran

“…Finally, birds that showed higher selective attention hatched more eggs and birds that returned to their nests more quickly after a predator intrusion had more nestlings. Although we cannot fully attribute these fitness outcomes to the cognitive measures considered in this study, our results suggest that social breeding plays a role in adaptively shaping both the acquisition of social information and decision-making.…”

Transferability Evaluation in Wi-Fi Intrusion Detection Systems Through Machine Learning and Deep Learning Approaches by Saud Yonbawi, Adil Afzal, Muhammad Yasir, Muhammad Rizwan, Natalia Kryvinska

“…This endeavor unravels a diverse performance landscape, demonstrating that the outstanding performance observed on a particular dataset doesn’t guarantee the transferability of features across dissimilar datasets nestled within different network environments. In order to evaluate the feature transferability, we turn to AWID and AWID3 datasets as the main distinction between AWID (potentially referring to AWID2) and AWID3 lies in their specific focuses and contexts within the field of Wi-Fi intrusion detection. …”
