A Data-driven M Dwarf Model and Detailed Abundances for ​​​​​​∼17,000 M Dwarfs in SDSS-V by Aida Behmard, Melissa K. Ness, Andrew R. Casey, Ruth Angus, Katia Cunha, Diogo Souto, Yuxi(Lucy) Lu, Jennifer A. Johnson

“…The cool temperatures of M dwarf atmospheres enable complex molecular chemistry, making robust characterization of M dwarf compositions a long-standing challenge. Recent modifications to spectral synthesis pipelines have enabled more accurate modeling of M dwarf atmospheres, but these methods are too slow for characterizing more than a handful of stars at a time. …”

An active learning driven deep spatio-textural acoustic feature ensemble assisted learning environment for violence detection in surveillance videos by Duba Sriveni, Dr.Loganathan R

“…On the other hand, the different acoustic features, including mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC), gammatone cepstral coefficient (GTCC), GTCC-Δ, harmonic to noise ratio (HNR), spectral features and pitch were obtained. These acoustic and spatio-textural features were fused to yield a composite audio-visual feature set, which was later processed for principal component analysis (PCA) to minimize redundancy, and k-NN as part of an ensemble classifier to enhance prediction accuracy, achieving superior performance. …”
