CBGS-YOLO: A Lightweight Network for Detecting Small Targets in Remote Sensing Images Based on a Double Attention Mechanism by Zhenyuan Wu, Di Wu, Ning Li, Wanru Chen, Jie Yuan, Xiangyue Yu, Yongqiang Guo

“…Conventional target detection methods are frequently incapable of addressing these complexities, resulting in a reduction in detection accuracy and an increase in false alarms. Hence, in this paper, we propose a lightweight remote-sensing image target detection network model, CBGS-YOLO, created by introducing the Ghost module to decrease the model parameters, applying the SPD-Conv module to optimize downsampling, and integrating the convolutional block attention module to enhance detection accuracy. …”

Revisiting ‘revisiting supervised methods for effort‐aware cross‐project defect prediction’ by Fuyang Li, Peixin Yang, Jacky Wai Keung, Wenhua Hu, Haoyu Luo, Xiao Yu

“…The results show that (1) The classification before sorting (CBS+) defect density calculation strategy achieves the best overall performance. (2) Using balanced distribution adaption (BDA) and joint distribution adaptation (JDA) with the K‐nearest neighbour classifier to build the EACPDP model can find 15% and 14.3% more defective modules and 11.6% and 8.9% more defects while achieving the acceptable initial false alarms (IFA). (3) Better comprehensive classification performance of the methods can bring better EACPDP performance to some extent. (4) A flexible adjustment of the defect threshold λ of the CBS+ strategy contribute to different goals. …”

A multifactor coupled rarly-warning model for pipeline landslide hazards based on the dynamic evolutionary process of disaster by Sen WU, Dexu QI, Hu LI, Yu LAN, Jiang LI, Mingzhi SUN

“…However, the failure to account for the correlation between various indicators has led to a high frequency of false alarms. Based on the analysis of the dynamic evolutionary process of pipeline landslide hazards, this study proposes four stages of pipeline landslide hazards: (1) rainfall on the landslide leads to surface infiltration; (2) the groundwater level rises increasing the slope self-weight increases and reducing the geotechnical parameter; (3) the slope has undergone local deformation; (4) the landslide slides entirely and threatens pipeline safety. …”
