Article Abstract

This paper introduces an enhanced Whale Optimization Algorithm, named the Multi-Swarm Improved Spiral Whale Optimization Algorithm (MISWOA), designed to address the shortcomings of the traditional Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) in terms of global search capability and convergence velocity. The MISWOA combines an adaptive nonlinear convergence factor with a variable gain compensation mechanism, adaptive weights, and an advanced spiral convergence strategy, resulting in a significant enhancement in the algorithm's global search capability, convergence velocity, and precision. Moreover, MISWOA incorporates a multi-population mechanism, further bolstering the algorithm's efficiency and robustness. Ultimately, an extensive validation of MISWOA through "simulation + experimentation" approaches has been conducted, demonstrating that MISWOA surpasses other algorithms and the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and its variants in terms of convergence accuracy and algorithmic efficiency. This validates the effectiveness of the improvement method and the exceptional performance of MISWOA, while also highlighting its substantial potential for application in practical engineering scenarios. This study not only presents an improved optimization algorithm but also constructs a systematic framework for analysis and research, offering novel insights for the comprehension and refinement of swarm intelligence algorithms.

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) presents a significant burden to patients, families, and the healthcare system. The ability to accurately predict functional outcomes for SCI patients is essential for optimizing rehabilitation strategies, guiding patient and family decision making, and improving patient care.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 589 SCI patients admitted to a single acute rehabilitation facility and used the dataset to train advanced machine learning algorithms to predict patients' rehabilitation outcomes.

Background: In clinical practice, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) often suffers from misregistration artifact resulting from voluntary, respiratory, and cardiac motion during acquisition. Most prior efforts to register the background DSA mask to subsequent postcontrast images rely on key point registration using iterative optimization, which has limited real-time application.

Purpose: Leveraging state-of-the-art, unsupervised deep learning, we aim to develop a fast, deformable registration model to substantially reduce DSA misregistration in craniocervical angiography without compromising spatial resolution or introducing new artifacts.

Computer vision has been identified as one of the solutions to bridge communication barriers between speech-impaired populations and those without impairment as most people are unaware of the sign language used by speech-impaired individuals. Numerous studies have been conducted to address this challenge. However, recognizing word signs, which are usually dynamic and involve more than one frame per sign, remains a challenge.

Deep learning has rapidly emerged as a promising toolkit for protein optimization, yet its success remains limited, particularly in the realm of activity. Moreover, most algorithms lack rigorous iterative evaluation, a crucial aspect of protein engineering exemplified by classical directed evolution. This study introduces DeepDE, a robust iterative deep learning-guided algorithm leveraging triple mutants as building blocks and a compact library of ∼1,000 mutants for training.

Maximizing theoretical and practical storage capacity in single-layer feedforward neural networks.

Artificial neural networks are limited in the number of patterns that they can store and accurately recall, with capacity constraints arising from factors such as network size, architectural structure, pattern sparsity, and pattern dissimilarity. Exceeding these limits leads to recall errors, eventually leading to catastrophic forgetting, which is a major challenge in continual learning. In this study, we characterize the theoretical maximum memory capacity of single-layer feedforward networks as a function of these parameters.
