Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This paper proposes an unsupervised wood species identification approach utilizing multiobjective optimization clustering and feature fusion. To address the limitations of single-band spectra in comprehensively capturing wood characteristics, we integrated preprocessed low-dimensional terahertz (THz) and hyperspectral data. Additionally, to tackle the issue of determining the optimal k-value in clustering, we developed an unsupervised wood clustering algorithm that employs multiobjective optimization and evolutionary algorithms. This algorithm utilized a prototype coding method for initialization, density peak clustering, and an improved firefly optimization algorithm for cross-variation to ensure population diversity. Furthermore, a selection operator was designed based on grid division and fast, non-dominated sorting. We evaluated the model's performance using a dataset consisting of hyperspectral and THz spectra from 400 samples representing ten wood species, comprising five coniferous and five broadleaf species. Experimental results demonstrated a 3.5% enhancement in clustering purity with fused data compared to individual datasets. Our proposed algorithm outperformed comparative methods such as DBSCAN, OPTICS, and peak density clustering, achieving a maximum clustering purity of 91.25% in both the internal and external clustering metrics.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
