A compositional model for effort‐aware Just‐In‐Time defect prediction on android apps by Kunsong Zhao, Zhou Xu, Meng Yan, Lei Xue, Wei Li, Gemma Catolino

“…In this study, a novel compositional model, called KPIDL, is proposed to conduct the JIT defect prediction task for Android apps. More specifically, KPIDL first exploits a feature learning technique to preprocess original data for obtaining better feature representation, and then introduces a state‐of‐the‐art cost‐sensitive cross‐entropy loss function into the deep neural network to alleviate the class imbalance issue by considering the prior probability of the two types of classes. …”

Targeting Regulatory Noncoding RNAs in Human Cancer: The State of the Art in Clinical Trials by Roberto Piergentili, Stefano Sechi

“…Furthermore, some of them are also involved in regulating the response to traditional cancer-therapeutic approaches. In general, the regulation of molecular mechanisms by ncRNAs is very complex and still largely unclear, but it has enormous potential both for the development of new therapies, especially in cases where traditional methods fail, and for their use as novel and more efficient biomarkers. …”

Developing an ISO11783-compliant prescription map for variable rate spraying in vineyards based on 3D canopy reconstruction by Björn Poss, Nikos Tsoulias, Galibjon M. Sharipov, Andreas Heiß, Dimitrios S. Paraforos

“…A strong correlation (R² = 0.92) between the manually measured leaf areas and the number of points in the generated LiDAR 3D point cloud was determined. This correlation's linear regression was used to calculate dose rates, leading to the successful development of a grid-based prescription map in ISO-XML format, compatible with ISOBUS Task Controller functionality. …”
