Effect of Systematic Errors on Building Component Sound Insulation Measurements Using Near-Field Acoustic Holography by Wei Xiong, Wuying Chen, Zhixin Li, Heyu Zhu, Xueqiang Wang

“…After applying the proposed correction method, the NAH measurement results of the domestic microphone array are highly consistent with the weighted sound insulation measured by the standard method, and the measurement difference in the key frequency band is less than 1.0 dB, which significantly improves the reliability and applicability of low-cost equipment in engineering applications. In addition, the study reveals the inherent mechanism of differential amplification of system errors in the propagating wave and evanescent wave channels. …”

Comparative Analysis of Resampling Techniques for Class Imbalance in Financial Distress Prediction Using XGBoost by Guodong Hou, Dong Ling Tong, Soung Yue Liew, Peng Yin Choo

“…Among all techniques, Bagging-SMOTE achieved balanced performance (AUC 0.96, F1 0.72, PR-AUC 0.80, MCC 0.68) using a minority-to-majority ratio of 0.15, demonstrating that ensemble-based resampling can improve robustness with minimal impact on the original class distribution, albeit with higher computational cost. The compared findings highlight that no single approach fits all use cases, and technique selection should align with specific goals. …”
