Few-Shot Unsupervised Domain Adaptation Based on Refined Bi-Directional Prototypical Contrastive Learning for Cross-Scene Hyperspectral Image Classification by Xuebin Tang, Hanyi Shi, Chunchao Li, Cheng Jiang, Xiaoxiong Zhang, Lingbin Zeng, Xiaolei Zhou

“…Unsupervised domain adaptation has proven its effectiveness in tackling this issue, but it has a fatal limitation of intending to narrow the disparity between source and target domains by utilizing fully labeled source data and unlabeled target data. However, it is costly even to attain labels from source domains in many cases, rendering sufficient labeling as used in prior work impractical. …”

El macro-modelat de la costa carbonàtica de Victòria (Austràlia): paral·lelismes i diferències amb les cales baleàriques by Lluís Gómez-Pujol

“…Els resultats posen de manifest que, de més a més del control estructural, les components fluvials i càrstiques o del retoc associat a l’erosió marina –tot incorporant les fluctuacions del nivell marí– hi ha altres factors que ajuden a explicar la diferència i el grau de maduresa en l’evolució morfològica del macro-meso modelat de les costes rocoses carbonatades. Resulta important considerar el paper dels heretatges geològics en el sentit que, esdeveniments de gran transcendència, com per exemple la crisi de salinitat del Messinià a la Mediterrània, poden deixar una empremta que condicioni i governi el desenvolupament i característiques de les cales i així es puguin explicar les diferències entre planells carbonàtics relativament semblants. …”

Multiphase Transport Network Optimization: Mathematical Framework Integrating Resilience Quantification and Dynamic Algorithm Coupling by Linghao Ren, Xinyue Li, Renjie Song, Yuning Wang, Meiyun Gui, Bo Tang

“…Experimental results demonstrate a 28.7% reduction in road network traffic variance (from 42,760 to 32,100), 22.4% improvement in public transit path redundancy, and 30.4–44.6% decrease in regional traffic load variance with minimal costs. Hyperparameter analysis reveals two optimal operational modes: rapid cooling (rate = 0.90) achieves 85% improvement within 50 epochs for emergency response, while slow cooling (rate = 0.99) yields 12.7% superior solutions for long-term planning. …”
