Investigating the Relationship Between Text Vectorization Cosine Similarity and Classification Performance by Fernando Rezende Zagatti, Gilson Yuuji Shimizu, Daniel Lucredio, Helena de Medeiros Caseli

“…This paper proposes a similarity-based approach for selecting the most promising vectorization configurations–specifically, Bag of Words (BoW), Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), and Word2Vec–by analyzing the average cosine similarity of the generated vectors; by preselecting configurations that yield more diverse textual representations, our method relies on the hypothesis that increased diversity in text representations enhances the discriminative capacity of classification models. …”

Crystallographic Texture Evolution of Aluminum Samples with a Rectangular Cross-Section During Equal Channel Angular Pressing Processing by Andrea Mireles-Ramos, Francisco García-Pastor

“…The simulation results showed the characteristic fibers of the ECAP process measured through X-ray diffraction. The texture analysis shows that the most effective route to obtain a more homogenous shear deformation and therefore reduce the grain size is the Bc route, followed by the modified C route and finally the C route.…”

Ultrasonic replacement of natural aging: Potential strategies for improving the color, antioxidant activity, and volatile compound profile of astragalus mead by Jianfeng Wang, Xiangjin Kong, Yuqi Han, Faisal Eudes Sam, Jixin Li, Zhengmei Qi, Yumei Jiang

“…Response surface methodology was employed to optimize fermentation conditions, which yielded the highest flavonoid content and sensory quality at an impregnation time of 12 h, an impregnation temperature of 10 °C, and a fermentation temperature of 20 °C. Among the processing methods evaluated (natural aging, ultrasound, microwave irradiation, and high hydrostatic pressure), ultrasound treatment resulted in the most significant improvements. …”
