Cloud service composition optimization based on service association impact and improved NSGA-II algorithm by Chong Zhang, Longge Wang, Ketai He

“…To efficiently solve this model, we propose an enhanced NSGA-II algorithm with the following key improvements: (1) Good point set-based population initialization, integrating good point sets and random sampling to enhance solution diversity and search efficiency. (2) Reverse learning-based crossover operator, designed to improve exploration capability and prevent premature convergence. (3) Adaptive dynamic elitism strategy, which dynamically adjusts the elite retention ratio and adaptively incorporates local search operators to balance convergence and diversity. …”

Estimating Soil Cd Contamination in Wheat Farmland Using Hyperspectral Data and Interpretable Stacking Ensemble Learning by Liang Zhong, Meng Ding, Shengjie Yang, Xindan Xu, Jianlong Li, Zhengguo Sun

“…Ultimately, the SHAP method was used to shed light on the model’s decision-making process. The results show that (1) FOD can further highlight the spectral features, thereby strengthening the correlation between soil Cd content and wavelength; (2) the CARS algorithm extracted 3.4–6.8% of the feature wavelengths from the full spectrum, and most of them were the wavelengths with high correlation with soil Cd; (3) the optimal estimation precision was achieved using the FOD1.5-SNV spectral pre-processing combined with the Stacking model (<i>R</i>² = 0.77, RMSE = 0.05 mg/kg, RPD = 2.07), and the model effectively quantitatively estimated soil Cd contamination; and (4) SHAP further revealed the contribution of each base model and characteristic wavelengths in the Stacking modeling process. …”
