Using data resampling and category weight adjustment to solve sample imbalance
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in solving the sample imbalance problem. The sample imbalance problem refers to the phenomenon that the number of different categories of samples in the training data varies greatly, resulting in the poor performance of traditional machine learning algorithms on a few categories of samples. To address this problem, this paper proposes a new approach combining data resampling and category weight adjustment strategies. First, the sample distribution of the dataset is adjusted by undersampling and oversampling techniques to balance the number of samples from different categories. Then, during the model training process, different weights are assigned to the samples of different categories so that the model pays more attention to the samples of a few categories. The experimental results show that the method achieves significant performance improvement on multiple datasets. In addition, this paper compares other commonly used methods for solving the sample imbalance problem and analyzes and discusses them in detail. Finally, this study offers a practical solution to the problem of sample imbalance and provides guidance for research in related fields.

Further exploration on deep learning in flower recognition
Flower recognition is an important research direction in the field of computer vision, and automatic classification of flower images through deep learning methods is of great significance for ecological environment monitoring and plant research. With this background, this study aims to further optimize the existing flower recognition system and improve its classification accuracy by adjusting key parameters. Based on the existing deep learning model and several rounds of training, this paper explores the tuning strategies for parameters such as different learning rates and weight decay to achieve higher recognition accuracy. In the experiments, this paper uses the classical flower dataset and enhances the diversity of the data through image preprocessing and data enhancement. Through a hundred rounds of training, the model in this paper achieves about 80% classification accuracy on the test set, which is significantly improved compared with the initial model. Further analysis of the results shows that by reasonably adjusting the learning rate and weight decay parameters, the model achieves certain improvements in different flower classes, demonstrating the impact of parameter tuning on the overall performance of the model.

Design and analysis of adaptive control systems: Adaptive control algorithms using machine learning
A growing field of research is the use of adaptive control algorithms with machine learning techniques like Q-learning and SARSA. With prospective applications in robotics, healthcare, and other fields, this interdisciplinary method strives to combine the stability and robustness of conventional control systems with the self-learning skills of reinforcement learning. Making sure that systems are stable and that learning occurs effectively is the main research problem. This paper demonstrates the stability and convergence of existing adaptive control algorithms when integrating with machine learning. There are mainly four primary methods of control algorithms: reinforcement learning, neutral network, support vector machine and deep learning. Reinforcement learning is the main focus of this paper. Data efficiency, robustness, and generalization are the main problems with reinforcement learning. Q-learning and SARSA (State, Action, Reward, State’, Action’) are two algorithms for reinforcement learning. The research will be done by analyzing these two algorithms based on existing material and the actual application of these two algorithms. SARSA is believed to be more safe as its on-policy methodology, and Q-learning is believed to be more proactive as its off-policy methodology.

Research on multi-role classification task of online mall based on heterogeneous graph neural network
Article thumbnail
With the rapid development of e-commerce, online shopping malls have become an indispensable part of daily life. In order to better meet the needs of consumers, marketplace platforms need to accurately identify and categorize different user personas to provide personalized services and recommendations. In traditional role classification methods, basic information and behavioral data of users are typically used for classification. However, this approach often ignores the complex relationships between users and multiple heterogeneous data such as goods, reviews, social networks, and more. Therefore, we propose a new approach based on heterogeneous graphs to model different types of data in the form of graphs to better capture the connections between users and various elements in the marketplace. In this study, graph embedding technology is used to map nodes in heterogeneous graphs into low-dimensional vector spaces to capture similarities and relationships between nodes. Then, using the vector representation of these nodes, we can apply algorithms such as attention mechanisms for multi-role classification. Specifically, we use algorithms such as support vector machines to train classification models and use heterogeneous graph attention mechanisms to obtain the final feature representation of nodes. Experimental results show that our method shows significant advantages in multi-role classification tasks. Finally, the results of this study are discussed and summarized. We found that the classification model based on heterogeneous graph can effectively classify multiple roles in the online mall to provide personalized services and recommendations for the mall. At the same time, we also find that the construction of heterogeneous maps and the choice of graph embedding technology have important impacts on the classification results, which need further research and optimization. Therefore, multi-role task classification of online shopping malls based on heterogeneous graph neural networks is of great significance for improving the user experience and recommendation effect of online shopping malls, and also provides new ideas and methods for research in related fields.
