Proposing Optimized Random Forest Models for Predicting Compressive Strength of Geopolymer Composites by Feng Bin, Shahab Hosseini, Jie Chen, Pijush Samui, Hadi Fattahi, Danial Jahed Armaghani

“…We present a comparative analysis of two hybrid models, Harris Hawks Optimization with Random Forest (HHO-RF) and Sine Cosine Algorithm with Random Forest (SCA-RF), against traditional regression methods and classical models like the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), General Regression Neural Network (GRNN), and Radial Basis Function (RBF). Using a comprehensive dataset derived from various scientific publications, we focus on key input variables including the fine aggregate, GGBS, fly ash, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) molarity, and others. …”

Comparative evaluation of machine learning models for enhancing diagnostic accuracy of otitis media with effusion in children with adenoid hypertrophy by Xiaote Zhang, Qiaoyi Xie, Ganggang Wu

“…Current non-invasive screening modalities rely predominantly on acoustic immittance measurements, which demonstrate variable diagnostic performance. Given the urgent need for improved diagnostic methods and extensive characterization of risk factors for OME in AH children, developing diagnostic models represents an efficient strategy to enhance clinical identification accuracy in practice.ObjectiveThis study aims to develop and validate an optimal machine learning (ML)-based prediction model for OME in AH children by comparing multiple algorithmic approaches, integrating clinical indicators with acoustic measurements into a widely applicable diagnostic tool.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 847 pediatric patients with AH. …”
