Research on Olympic Medal Prediction and Influencing Factors Based on Multi-Dimensional Feature Fusion and Machine Learning
type: item
description: To address the limitations of existing Olympic medal prediction models—which over-rely on macroeconomic indicators and lack interpretability—this study proposes a hybrid machine learning framework integrating multi-dimensional feature engineering and model interpretability. This article construct a 19-feature system incorporating historical medals, athlete gender ratios, elite coach attributes (simulated via Monte Carlo), and host-nation effects. Three synergistic models are developed: (1) A multiple linear regression predicting 2028 medal distributions (RMSE=0.25); (2) A LASSO-Logistic regression identifying first-time medal-winning nations (e.g., UAE and Samoa, probability >0.5); (3) A Gradient Boosting Tree with SHAP interpretability quantifying elite coaches’ contribution (SHAP mean=0.217, *p*<0.001). Hyperparameter optimization via RandomizedSearchCV achieves high accuracy (gold medal MAE=0.09, total medals MAE=0.25). Key innovations include dynamic feature fusion and micro-level coach impact quantification, providing actionable insights for Olympic resource allocation.

Functional Multicore Gaussian Process Regression Modeling Based on Kalman Filtering
type: item
description: Aiming at the regression problem in which the response variable is scalar and the predictor variable is functional-type variable, this paper innovatively proposes a functional-type multicore Gaussian process regression model based on Kalman filtering. Firstly, a functional principal component base expansion method is applied to extract features of functional predictor variables to realize the approximate characterization of functional data; then, the potential function between each principal component score and the response variable is assigned to the Gaussian process a priori and multiple Gaussian process regression submodels are constructed using different kernel functions for fitting; finally, the Kalman filtering algorithm is utilized to dynamically integrate the results of the submodels to obtain the final Prediction results. Compared with the traditional integration learning algorithm, this model integrates the uncertainty estimation into the integration framework, fully considers the adaptability of different regenerative kernel Hilbert space from the probability level, and significantly improves the robustness and generalization ability of the model. Empirical studies on meat and maize near-infrared spectral analysis datasets show that the model in this paper exhibits superior prediction performance in both MSE and MAE metrics compared to benchmark methods such as traditional machine learning models: XGBoost, single-kernel Gaussian process regression (GPR): using RBF kernel function. In addition, the construction of differentiated sub-models by adjusting the number of principal component truncations in functional principal component analysis provides a new path for model performance optimization.

Optimization of Audio Coding Parameters and Adaptive Denoising Using a Convolutionally Enhanced Transformer Framework
type: item
description: With the rapid advancement of digital audio technology, this study proposes an intelligent audio processing framework to address two key challenges: storage optimization and adaptive denoising. By modeling the trade-off between sampling rate, bit depth, and compression algorithm, the system recommends optimal encoding parameters for speech and music to balance file size and audio quality. For denoising, an adaptive algorithm based on time-frequency analysis is introduced, which applies targeted strategies according to identified noise types—Wiener filtering for background noise, median filtering with spectral subtraction for burst noise, and band-stop filtering with spectral smoothing for narrowband interference. Experiments on public datasets using ΔSNR, PESQ, and STOI metrics show that the method improves both noise suppression and audio fidelity, with SNR gains of up to 5.11dB. Subjective listening confirms enhanced clarity, and robustness tests reveal stable performance under moderate noise. Overall, the framework outperforms traditional fixed-parameter methods in both efficiency and quality.

Research on Dynamic Path Planning and Real-Time Collision Detection for Bench Dragon Based on Multi-Algorithm Collaborative Optimization
type: item
description: The dynamic and complex nature of traditional dragon dance performances, especially the multi-segmented "Bench Dragon" presents considerable challenges in real-time collision detection and path optimization. This study introduces an integrated optimization framework that combines an enhanced golden section search algorithm, dynamic collision detection based on the Separation Axis Theorem (SAT), and a genetic algorithm to tackle these challenges. The enhanced golden section algorithm effectively reduces computational complexity by efficiently narrowing the search space, while SAT ensures collision-free motion through real-time projection analysis. Additionally, genetic algorithms optimize the turnaround path by minimizing the total length under geometric and continuity constraints. Experimental results demonstrate the framework's effectiveness: an optimal pitch of 0.4529 m facilitates smooth coiling, with the total turnaround path length reduced to 13.6206 m without any collisions. The algorithm maintains high accuracy while ensuring computational efficiency, as validated through simulations of the dragon's movement across critical time intervals (0–300 s). This research offers a robust solution for coordinating large-scale rigid-chain movements, with potential applications in swarm robotics and automated logistics. However, limitations include idealized assumptions of rigidity and 2D motion, underscoring the need for future research into real-time dynamic modeling and multi-physics constraints.

Research on Multi-objective Planning Optimization Algorithm Based on Cluster Analysis
type: item
description: AI has introduced new solutions to multi-objective decision-making in agricultural resource optimization. Still, the current methods struggle with handling complicated constraints and heterogeneous resource types effectively. This study proposes an integrated approach combining linear programming (LP) with K-means++ clustering to enhance the adaptability in diverse agricultural contexts. Specifically, the linear programming (LP) model firstly optimizes resource allocation according to real-world constraints, while K-means++ clustering groups crops with similar characteristics, selecting representative crops from each cluster, and allows simplification of crop structure and enhancing resilience. Compared to traditional K-means, K-means++ improves the stability of the initialization, ensuring more reliable crop clustering results, and largely avoids local minima. This approach has been applied to a case study in a village of Northern China, demonstrating its effectiveness. Using the LP model alone increases annual revenue from 5.66 to 6.58 million yuan annually, while combining with K-means++, revenue increases further to 7.89 million yuan, exceeding 2.23 million yuan compared to the original. This research also integrates risk modeling, simulating disruptions from the environment and market, demonstrating strong robustness in maintaining revenue stability in different scenarios. This hybrid model not only improves profitability but also provides a scalable and robust strategy for sustainable agricultural planning.

Research on the Impact of AIGC on Traditional Media Audiences and Symbiotic Paths Based on Logistic Regression Model
type: item
description: Under the background of the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology and the unstoppable wave of digitalization, AIGC has impacted the mode and core position of "gathering, editing and broadcasting" of traditional media. In order to explore the future development direction of the media industry, this paper quantifies the impact of AIGC on audience acquisition and retention of traditional media by constructing a logistic regression model, and analyzes the differences between them in content production and broadcast output by using radar chart and comparison chart. This paper analyzes the relationship between AIGC and traditional media in a comprehensive manner, taking into account their complementary advantages, diversity of audience needs, policy support and industry trends. The research shows that AIGC has impacted traditional media in terms of audience, editing content production and broadcast output, and traditional media is faced with technical shortcomings and talent shortage. However, the two have complementary advantages. With the support of policies, integration is an inevitable trend in the future development. Through symbiotic development paths such as collaboration in content creation, sharing of communication channels and cooperation in talent training, they can achieve complementary advantages, meet the diverse needs of audiences, and promote social and economic development and cultural prosperity.

Estimating the Demand for Spotify Premium Plans: Evidence from Pricing and Plan Characteristics in India
type: item
description: This paper investigates consumer demand for Spotify’s premium subscription plans in India, focusing on how price and plan features influence user choice. Using a discrete choice framework and individual-level survey data, this paper estimates a conditional logit model to quantify the roles of price and account-sharing attributes (e.g., Duo and Family plans) in shaping subscription decisions. To address potential price endogeneity—where firms set prices in response to unobserved demand—this study employs an instrumental variable approach using Spotify’s premium plan prices in other geographic markets (U.S. and Brazil). The results reveal substantial price sensitivity: after instrumenting, the estimated effect of price becomes more negative, suggesting that uncorrected models understate true demand elasticity. While the estimated impact of features such as the ability to share plans with one or more additional users is economically meaningful, statistical significance is limited—likely due to the constrained variation in available plan choices. The study contributes to the growing literature on digital subscription platforms and provides a flexible empirical framework for future research in emerging markets and multi-tier pricing environments.

Prediction on Olympic Medal Based on Random Forest and Logistic Regression
type: item
description: The Olympic Games, as a highly renowned global sports event, attract significant attention, and the Olympic medal table is a focal point of public interest. The medal table not only showcases athletes' exceptional competitive abilities but also reflects a nation's overall strength. In this paper, a Random Forest model was developed to predict the medal rankings for the 2028 Olympic Games. The model innovatively considers not only economic factors but also athlete performance, the number of events participated in, and host nation advantages. By integrating these comprehensive factors, it forecasts that the United States, China, and the United Kingdom will secure the top three positions. Additionally, the study focuses on countries that have never won Olympic medals—groups that receive little attention—using Logistic Regression to predict that nations like Tuvalu have a 3.530% probability of gaining their first Olympic medals in 2028. This study not only provides forecasts for the Olympic medal table but also offers a scientific basis for countries to develop sports strategies and optimize resource allocation, which is significant for enhancing international sports.

Olympic Medal Prediction Based on Random Forest Modeling
type: item
description: The Olympic Games are the most influential sporting event in the world, conveying the idea of higher, faster, and stronger. It promotes the pursuit of excellence in sportsmanship and the dedication to sportsmanship. At the same time, the results of the Olympic Games also reflect the level of sports of each country, so the number of medals is the focus of attention, and the factors that affect the number of medals predicted are very complex, usually based on the historical data of each country, the strength of the players, etc. This paper proposes a random forest prediction model based on multiple linear regression and regression to predict the interval of each country's medal count at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, as well as the ranking of each country. At the same time, this study provides reference opinions for the prediction of the medal table of the next Olympic Games.

Research on the Optimization Model and Algorithm for the Movement Path of the "Bench Dragon"
type: item
description: To enhance the organizational efficiency and cultural presentation effectiveness of the folk activity "Bench Dragon", this paper focuses on the dynamic optimization problem of the Bench Dragon's "panlong" (coiling) movement. A chain path optimization modeling method based on plane geometric recursion and kinematic constraints is proposed: First, an Archimedean spiral model is constructed to characterize the movement trajectory of the dragon head. The spatiotemporal coordinates and velocity distribution of each dragon body segment are systematically derived using differential-integral methods. For collision constraints during movement, a safety distance verification model in polar coordinate space is established. Combined with the bisection method and iterative algorithms, the critical coiling time is accurately solved. Under the constraint of turn space, the minimum safe pitch is determined through parameter optimization. The quantitative model system constructed in this study provides a scientific dynamic analysis framework and optimization strategy support for improving the coordination and spectacle of the dragon dance performance.

Olympic Medal Prediction Analysis Based on The Random Forest Model
type: item
description: During the 2024 Paris Olympics, both individual events and the overall medal tally have garnered significant attention. As a key indicator of a nation's competitive strength, the number of Olympic medals serves as a critical reference for countries preparing for the Games. This paper addresses three core questions: how to predict the medal rankings for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, the likelihood of countries that have never won medals securing their first, and the impact of Olympic events on medal rankings. By combining the Random Forest algorithm and the LSTM model to predict feature variables (such as gender ratio and number of participants), a high-precision medal prediction model was constructed, achieving an R² score of 0.929 and an MSE of 1.78098. For countries that have never won a medal, nine countries were selected, and their probability of winning a medal in 2028 was predicted. Additionally, the Random Forest Regressor model was used to analyze the importance of sports events, identify key events for each country, and reveal the strategic impact of host country event selection. The conclusions indicate that this model provides a scientific basis for countries to optimize their Olympic training strategies and resource allocation.

Research On Stock Index Prediction Based on CGAF Hybrid Deep Learning Model
type: item
description: This article focuses on the prediction difficulties caused by the inherent high-frequency noise, strong nonlinearity, and complex dynamic characteristics of stock index time series, and proposes an innovative hybrid deep learning model - CGAF (CNN-GRU Attention FFN). The CGAF model integrates one-dimensional convolutional neural networks to extract multi-scale local features, gated recurrent units to capture temporal dependencies, multi head self attention mechanism to dynamically focus on key time step information, and feedforward network to deepen nonlinear feature transformation. Using the closing prices of the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index from March 3, 2023 to March 31, 2025 as empirical data, the model was trained and evaluated for performance after linear interpolation, minimum maximum normalization, and sliding window processing. The research results indicate that the CGAF model is significantly superior to traditional time series models such as ARIMA, ARCH, GARCH, multiple benchmark deep learning architectures such as CNN, CNN-LSTM, CNN-LSTM Attention, CNN-GRU-MAHA, and models referenced in the literature in key evaluation indicators such as RMSE, MAE, and MAPE. The original scale RMSE, MAE, and MAPE of the CGAF model on the test set were 24.7868, 18.1145, and 0.54%, respectively, demonstrating excellent predictive performance and goodness of fit. This study not only provides an effective tool for financial market forecasting, but also verifies the progressiveness and potential of the proposed hybrid architecture in processing complex time series data, and the modular design also has good portability.

Olympic Medal Count Prediction Model Based on Xgboost
type: item
description: Accurately predicting Olympic medal counts for each country is of significant value for shaping sports policy, optimizing resource allocation, and advancing the sports industry. This study presents a predictive model based on the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm to estimate the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals awarded to each country in the Olympics. The validity of the model is demonstrated by predicting the medal counts for the 2024 Olympics. Relevant data from 1896 to 2024 were collected and preprocessed. Five key features were extracted for each Olympic edition: the host country, the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals, the total medal count, the number of athletes per country, the gender distribution of athletes, and the sports events in which each country participated. Data from 1896 to 2012 were used for training, while data from the 2016 and 2020 Olympics were used as the test set. The model was trained using the XGBoost algorithm, and optimization was performed by minimizing the root mean square error (RMSE). Four features for the 2024 Olympics—host country, number of participating athletes, gender distribution of athletes, and the sports events contested—were used to predict the medal counts for each country. By comparing the predicted results with the actual data, the RMSE values for gold, silver, bronze, and total medals were calculated to be 0.6462, 0.5547, 0.2965, and 0.3922, respectively. These results validate the exceptional performance of the XGBoost model in predicting Olympic medal counts, providing effective and forward-looking strategic insights for the optimization of sports resource allocation and the setting of competitive goals across countries.

Monte Carlo Simulation-Based Production Decision Optimization Research in Uncertain Environments
type: item
description: Facing intensified competition in electronics manufacturing, this study develops an integrated decision-making framework to optimize inspection strategies and defect rate control. Leveraging binomial distribution, hypothesis testing, and multi-objective optimization, a hierarchical cost model is constructed for components, semi-finished products, and finished goods. Genetic algorithms identify an optimal solution—inspecting critical component 8 and semi-finished product 2 while eliminating redundant inspections and disassembly—reducing total costs by 18.7%. To address process variability, Monte Carlo dynamically assesses batch-specific defect rate fluctuations across six intervals, enabling adaptive re-optimization for Scenarios 2 and 3. Results show that tiered detection strategies (prioritizing key components 1/4 and enforcing full finished-product inspection) cut quality loss costs by 23.4% while preventing over-inspection waste. This work advances a data-driven theoretical foundation for intelligent quality-cost synergies in electronics production, offering actionable insights for sustainable manufacturing competitiveness.

Research On Olympic Medal Prediction Based on Random Forest-ARIMA Combined Model
type: item
description: The prediction of Olympic medals is complex due to the multi-dimensional influencing factors and the non-linear feature relationships. Therefore, a combined model capable of handling both non-linear feature relationships and capturing time series trends is required. Specifically, this study predicts the medal table for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics based on a Random Forest-ARIMA combined model. After cleaning and integrating past data using non-negative least squares in a "property division" manner, the United States, China, and Japan are predicted to rank first, second, and third respectively, with a total of 92, 61, and 33 medals, and 37, 28, and 14 gold medals respectively. The United States, China, and Brazil are expected to continue their upward trends, while the United Kingdom will maintain a stable number of medals. Australia, Italy, and Japan have experienced greater medal fluctuations in recent Olympics and are expected to continue this trend. SAM is most likely to win its first medal, with a probability of approximately 72.3%, and three countries are expected to win their first medals.

Research On Optimal Allocation of Hu Sheep Breeding Based on Stochastic Difference Equations
type: item
description: This study addresses the dynamic resource allocation problem in large-scale Hu sheep farming by establishing a production cycle model based on stochastic difference equations. Through systematic analysis of seven production stages (mating period, pregnancy confirmation, etc.), we develop a population dynamic system incorporating multi-dimensional state variables. Three critical stochastic factors—conception success rate, gestation duration variance, and lambing number variation—are innovatively integrated using composite probability models for stochastic process characterization. An improved Genetic Algorithm (GA) is employed to optimize multiple parameters including ram-to-ewe ratio, lactation duration, and sheep pen allocation, constructing a nonlinear programming model with dynamic pen utilization cost functions and production constraints. Simulation experiments demonstrate that optimized key production parameters significantly reduce spatial utilization costs while maintaining annual yield targets, validating the model's effectiveness in balancing production efficiency and cost control. This research provides a decision-making framework for large-scale breeding operations through synergistic optimization of stochastic process modeling and intelligent algorithms, offering substantial practical guidance value.

Semi-Parametric Functional Kriging Regression Model with L1 Penalty
type: item
description: Partial functional linear models are widely studied and applied models, where the response variable is related to both general random variables and functional random variables. However, with the increasing application of data scenarios involving functional and vector-valued covariates and scalar responses in modern science, this paper proposes a partial functional regression model based on Gaussian processes. On the one hand, the proposed method can flexibly fit the nonlinear connection relationship between the functional covariates and the scalar responses by assuming the existence of a Gaussian process prior between them. On the other hand, for vector-valued covariates, in this paper, while constructing the linear relationship between them and scalar responses, the LASSO regularization technique is used to achieve the purpose of variable selection. Furthermore, in this paper, functional principal component analysis is used as the regularization strategy to approximate the distances between random functions, thereby achieving the approximate calculation of the kernel function matrix. The simulation experiment analysis indicates that the proposed method has higher prediction accuracy compared with the benchmark model and can effectively identify irrelevant variables. The actual data analysis also confirmed the comprehensive performance of the proposed method.

Research On Twin Support Vector Regression by Hiker Optimization Algorithm
type: item
description: This paper presents an enhanced twin support vector regression (TSVR) model integrated with the hiker optimization algorithm (HOA) and successive 0ver-relaxation (SOR) method to address challenges in regression accuracy and computational efficiency. HOA is employed to optimize hyperparameters, while SOR accelerates the solution of quadratic programming problems by reducing memory usage for sparse matrices. Experimental results on 8 synthetic test functions with diverse noise types and 18 benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed HOA-TSVR significantly outperforms traditional models. However, performance fluctuations on high-dimensional small-sample datasets highlight sensitivities to data distribution and feature redundancy. The study concludes that the hybrid approach enhances generalization and robustness, offering a promising framework for complex data modeling, with future research directions focusing on adaptive feature selection and multi-scenario applications.

Research On Multi-Objective Optimization of Complex Systems Based on A Feedback-Driven Structure-Preserving Optimization Architecture and An Improved NSGA-II Algorithm
type: item
description: The complex systems typically exhibit multiple objectives, multiple constraints, and dynamic structural characteristics, which make their multi-objective optimization and structural adaptability problems highly challenging. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a Structure-Preserving Optimization Architecture (SPOA) to systematically describe the nonlinear interaction process between input stimuli, constraint boundaries, and response structures. In terms of algorithm implementation, SPOA employs an improved NSGA-II algorithm to approximate the Pareto optimal solution set in a non-convex and constrained high-dimensional decision space. Finally, simulation experiments are conducted using a tourism system as an example scenario, validating the effectiveness of the proposed model. The results show that the model demonstrates excellent performance in terms of convergence stability, parameter transferability, and robustness to structural perturbations, and exhibits broad applicability in complex systems.

Research On Complex Sequence Prediction and Interpretation Based on Adversarial Learning Over Precise Networks and Heuristic Optimization Optimization
type: item
description: In the field of high-dimensional dynamic system modeling, achieving high-precision prediction of target variables, interpretability of model structures, and quantification of output uncertainty has always been a key focus of intelligent system research. Traditional methods encounter bottlenecks in terms of feature heterogeneity, multi-dimensional interactions, and prediction credibility. This paper proposes a multi-objective sequence modeling framework that integrates generative adversarial learning, simulated annealing optimization, and a game-theoretic interpretation mechanism. This framework first cleans, standardizes, and imputes missing values in the original structured data, and then reconstructs the input tensor using a BP neural network. Subsequently, a prediction model based on GAN is constructed, and SA is used for global optimization of key hyperparameters. During the prediction phase, a Monte Carlo perturbation strategy is introduced to quantify uncertainty. Finally, the importance of features is analyzed based on the SHAP method to achieve causal transparency. This method outperforms mainstream baseline models such as LSTM and Transformer in multiple metrics, demonstrating good generalization ability and interpretability. It is suitable for prediction and auxiliary decision-making in complex engineering systems in fields such as finance and industry, and has broad application prospects and significant practical value.

type: item
description: This study proposes an integrated ARIMA–XGBoost–LightGBM model to predict both medal counts and medal-winning probabilities for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The framework begins by applying the ARIMA model to forecast time-series features, such as the number of athletes and participating countries. These features are then fed into an XGBoost regressor to estimate gold, silver, bronze, and total medals per country. Additionally, a LightGBM classifier is utilized to predict the probability that a nation will win at least one medal. Model performance was evaluated using ten-fold cross-validation, with R² values exceeding 0.84 across all medal categories, demonstrating high accuracy and robust generalization ability. Notably, six countries are projected to win their first Olympic medals based on the predicted probabilities. This ensemble approach effectively combines time series forecasting with machine learning algorithms, showcasing its potential in supporting strategic sports planning and medal outcome prediction. It provides valuable forecasting capabilities for complex, dynamic events such as the Olympics.

type: item
description: The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of the dynamic adjustment of the sex ratio of lamprey on the stability of the ecosystem. The ecological effects of the sex ratio under different resource conditions were analyzed by constructing logistic model, genetic algorithm and deep learning prediction model combined with graph neural network. The study found that the dynamic adjustment of gender ratio can significantly improve the robustness of the ecological network, and its stabilizing effect can be reflected through the network centrality and the optimization of community structure.
