Optimization of SVR and CatBoost models using metaheuristic algorithms to assess landslide susceptibility
In this study, a landslide susceptibility assessment is performed by combining two machine learning regression algorithms (MLRA), such as support vector regression (SVR) and categorical boosting (CatBoost), with two population-based optimization algorithms, such as grey wolf optimizer (GWO) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), to evaluate the potential of a relatively new algorithm and the impact that optimization algorithms can have on the performance of regression models. The Kerala state in India has been chosen as the test site due to the large number of recorded incidents in the recent past. The study started with 18 potential predisposing factors, which were reduced to 14 after a multi-approach feature selection technique. Six susceptibility models were implemented and compared using the machine learning algorithms alone and combining each of them with the two optimization algorithms: SVR, CatBoost, SVR-PSO, CatBoost-PSO, SVR-GWO, and CatBoost-GWO. The resulting maps were validated with an independent dataset. The performance rankings, based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) metric, are as follows: CatBoost-GWO (AUC = 0.910) had the highest performance, followed by CatBoost-PSO (AUC = 0.909), CatBoost (AUC = 0.899), SVR-GWO (AUC = 0.868), SVR-PSO (AUC = 0.858), and SVR (AUC = 0.840). Other validation statistics corroborated these outcomes, and the Friedman and Wilcoxon-signed rank tests verified the statistical significance of the models. Our case study showed that CatBoost outperformed SVR both in case the models were optimized or not; the introduction of optimization algorithms significantly improves the results of machine learning models, with GWO being slightly more effective than PSO. However, optimization cannot drastically alter the results of the model, highlighting the importance of setting up of a rigorous susceptibility model since the early steps of any research.

Discovering genotype–phenotype relationships with machine learning and the Visual Physiology Opsin Database (VPOD)
Background Predicting phenotypes from genetic variation is foundational for fields as diverse as bioengineering and global change biology, highlighting the importance of efficient methods to predict gene functions. Linking genetic changes to phenotypic changes has been a goal of decades of experimental work, especially for some model gene families, including light-sensitive opsin proteins. Opsins can be expressed in vitro to measure light absorption parameters, including λmax—the wavelength of maximum absorbance—which strongly affects organismal phenotypes like color vision. Despite extensive research on opsins, the data remain dispersed, uncompiled, and often challenging to access, thereby precluding systematic and comprehensive analyses of the intricate relationships between genotype and phenotype. Results Here, we report a newly compiled database of all heterologously expressed opsin genes with λmax phenotypes that we call the Visual Physiology Opsin Database (VPOD). VPOD_1.0 contains 864 unique opsin genotypes and corresponding λmax phenotypes collected across all animals from 73 separate publications. We use VPOD data and deepBreaks to show regression-based machine learning (ML) models often reliably predict λmax, account for nonadditive effects of mutations on function, and identify functionally critical amino acid sites. Conclusion The ability to reliably predict functions from gene sequences alone using ML will allow robust exploration of molecular-evolutionary patterns governing phenotype, will inform functional and evolutionary connections to an organism’s ecological niche, and may be used more broadly for de novo protein design. Together, our database, phenotype predictions, and model comparisons lay the groundwork for future research applicable to families of genes with quantifiable and comparable phenotypes.
Ripple-Induced Whale Optimization Algorithm for Independent Tasks Scheduling on Fog Computing
Due to the revolution of Internet of Things (IoT), the amount of data generation has been redoubling, leading to higher latency and network traffic. This has resulted in delays in services and increased energy consumption of cloud servers. Fog computing tackles the issues associated with long geographical distance between end-users and cloud servers by extending service provision closer to the network edge, reducing latency and makespan, and optimizing energy consumption during workload execution. Instead of offloading all tasks to the cloud, delay-sensitive tasks are executed at fog nodes, while others are offloaded to the cloud. However, the resources at the fog layer are limited, posing a challenge for task scheduling in fog computing, particularly as a multi-objective optimization problem. Meta-heuristic algorithms have been potent to find an optimal solution for such problems within a reasonable amount of time. The Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is a relatively new meta-heuristic algorithm that has received significant attention from researchers due to its impressive optimization characteristics. However, being an exploitationoriented technique, it falls into local optima due to a lack of generating new solutions over time. Limited exploration capabilities also compromise the diversity of the solution space and prolong convergence time. Therefore, in this study, an enhanced Ripple-induced Whale Optimization Algorithm (RWOA) is proposed, utilizing ripple effects to schedule independent tasks in fog computing. It aims to minimize makespan and energy consumption while maximizing throughput in a fog-cloud infrastructure by improving poor solutions through substantial changes. Extensive simulations are performed to assess the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The proposed RWOA outperformed TCaS, HFSGA, MGWO, and WOAmM on two workload datasets: Random and NASA Ames iPSC. The statistical significance of the results is validated by the Friedman test and Wilcoxon Signed-rank test.
