XSE-TomatoNet: An explainable AI based tomato leaf disease classification method using EfficientNetB0 with squeeze-and-excitation blocks and multi-scale feature fusion by Md Assaduzzaman, Prayma Bishshash, Md. Asraful Sharker Nirob, Ahmed Al Marouf, Jon G. Rokne, Reda Alhajj

“…We also used LIME and SHAP for model interpretability, offering insights into the decision-making process, and employed Grad-CAM and Grad-CAM++ to visually highlight key areas in leaf images. Finally, the best model was integrated into a web-based system for practical use by tomato cultivators. • XSE-TomatoNet is an enhanced version of EfficientNetB0 which incorporates Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) blocks and multi-scale feature fusion. • XSE-TomatoNet outperformed MobileNet (87.44%) and VGG-19 (95.50%), in terms of accuracy, achieving 99.41%. • Integration of interpretation using LIME and SHAP models gives higher level understanding of the diseases and employment of Grad-CAM and Grad-CAM++ shows visual representation of the diseased leaves.…”

Krolikowski

“…Our results also indicate a preference for dipolar magnetic loops in PMS flares, consistent with Zeeman–Doppler imaging of fully convective stars. This requirement for giant dipolar loops aligns with MHD predictions of strong dipoles supported by polar magnetic surface active regions in fast-rotating, fully convective stars.…”

Looking for the origins of the human brain: The role of South Africa in the history of palaeoneurology by Amélie Beaudet, Edwin de Jager, Mirriam Tawane, Brendon Billings

“…In particular, we detail the impact of the study of the well-preserved crania and natural endocasts from the southern African hominin-bearing sites on our understanding of brain evolution and the integration of newly developed analytical tools into research in palaeoneurology (e.g. imaging techniques, 3D modelling). Additionally, we examine how the use of digital replicas of fossil hominin endocasts and the need to study extant human brains to form a comparative platform might raise questions about research practices (e.g. study and exhibition of fossil and extant human brains) and management of such invaluable heritage resources (e.g. data sharing). …”
