However, the response of global black carbon(BC) aging to emission changes remains unclear. Using the Community Atmosphere Model version 6 with a machine-learning-integrated four-mode version of the Modal Aerosol Module, we quantify global BC aging responses to emission reductions for 2011–2018 and for 2050 and 2100 under carbon neutrality. During 2011–18, global trends in BC aging degree(mass ratio of coatings to BC, R_(BC)) exhibited marked regional disparities, with a significant increase in China(5.4% yr^(-1)), which contrasts with minimal changes in the USA, Europe, and India. The divergence is attributed to opposing trends in secondary organic aerosol(SOA) and sulfate coatings, driven by regional changes in the emission ratios of corresponding coating precursors to BC(volatile organic compounds-VOCs/BC and SO_(2)/BC). Projections under carbon neutrality reveal that R_(BC) will increase globally by 47%(118%) in 2050(2100), with strong convergent increases expected across major source regions. The R_(BC) increase, primarily driven by enhanced SOA coatings due to sharper BC reductions relative to VOCs, will enhance the global BC mass absorption cross-section(MAC) by 11%(17%) in 2050(2100).Consequently, although the global BC burden will decline sharply by 60%(76%), the enhanced MAC partially offsets the magnitude of the decline in the BC direct radiative effect, resulting in the moderation of global BC DRE decreases to 88%(92%) of the BC burden reductions in 2050(2100). This study highlights the globally enhanced BC aging and light absorption capacity under carbon neutrality, thereby partly offsetting the impact of BC direct emission reductions on future changes in BC radiative effects globally.展开更多

文摘The uplift resistance of the soil overlying shield tunnels significantly impacts their anti-floating stability.However,research on uplift resistance concerning special-shaped shield tunnels is limited.This study combines numerical simulation with machine learning techniques to explore this issue.It presents a summary of special-shaped tunnel geometries and introduces a shape coefficient.Through the finite element software,Plaxis3D,the study simulates six key parameters—shape coefficient,burial depth ratio,tunnel’s longest horizontal length,internal friction angle,cohesion,and soil submerged bulk density—that impact uplift resistance across different conditions.Employing XGBoost and ANN methods,the feature importance of each parameter was analyzed based on the numerical simulation results.The findings demonstrate that a tunnel shape more closely resembling a circle leads to reduced uplift resistance in the overlying soil,whereas other parameters exhibit the contrary effects.Furthermore,the study reveals a diminishing trend in the feature importance of buried depth ratio,internal friction angle,tunnel longest horizontal length,cohesion,soil submerged bulk density,and shape coefficient in influencing uplift resistance.

文摘Countries around the world have been making efforts to reduce pollutant emissions. However, the response of global black carbon(BC) aging to emission changes remains unclear. Using the Community Atmosphere Model version 6 with a machine-learning-integrated four-mode version of the Modal Aerosol Module, we quantify global BC aging responses to emission reductions for 2011–2018 and for 2050 and 2100 under carbon neutrality. During 2011–18, global trends in BC aging degree(mass ratio of coatings to BC, R_(BC)) exhibited marked regional disparities, with a significant increase in China(5.4% yr^(-1)), which contrasts with minimal changes in the USA, Europe, and India. The divergence is attributed to opposing trends in secondary organic aerosol(SOA) and sulfate coatings, driven by regional changes in the emission ratios of corresponding coating precursors to BC(volatile organic compounds-VOCs/BC and SO_(2)/BC). Projections under carbon neutrality reveal that R_(BC) will increase globally by 47%(118%) in 2050(2100), with strong convergent increases expected across major source regions. The R_(BC) increase, primarily driven by enhanced SOA coatings due to sharper BC reductions relative to VOCs, will enhance the global BC mass absorption cross-section(MAC) by 11%(17%) in 2050(2100).Consequently, although the global BC burden will decline sharply by 60%(76%), the enhanced MAC partially offsets the magnitude of the decline in the BC direct radiative effect, resulting in the moderation of global BC DRE decreases to 88%(92%) of the BC burden reductions in 2050(2100). This study highlights the globally enhanced BC aging and light absorption capacity under carbon neutrality, thereby partly offsetting the impact of BC direct emission reductions on future changes in BC radiative effects globally.

文摘Cyclohexene is an important raw material in the production of nylon.Selective hydrogenation of benzene is a key method for preparing cyclohexene.However,the Ru catalysts used in current industrial processes still face challenges,including high metal usage,high process costs,and low cyclohexene yield.This study utilizes existing literature data combined with machine learning methods to analyze the factors influencing benzene conversion,cyclohexene selectivity,and yield in the benzene hydrogenation to cyclohexene reaction.It constructs predictive models based on XGBoost and Random Forest algorithms.After analysis,it was found that reaction time,Ru content,and space velocity are key factors influencing cyclohexene yield,selectivity,and benzene conversion.Shapley Additive Explanations(SHAP)analysis and feature importance analysis further revealed the contribution of each variable to the reaction outcomes.Additionally,we randomly generated one million variable combinations using the Dirichlet distribution to attempt to predict high-yield catalyst formulations.This paper provides new insights into the application of machine learning in heterogeneous catalysis and offers some reference for further research.
文摘The application and promotion of waste glass powder concrete(WGPC)cansignificantly alleviate the pressure of concrete material scarcity and environmental pollution.Compressive strength(CS)is a critical parameter for evaluating the efficacy of WGPC.Unlike conventional testing methods,machine learning techniques offer precise and reliable predictions of concrete’s compressive strength,especially in its long-term mechanical properties.In this work,four models,namely Multiple Linear Regression(MLR),Back Propagation Neural Network(BPNN),Support Vector Regression(SVR),and Random Forest Regression(RFR)were employed.Furthermore,particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm and cross-validation techniques were applied to fine-tune the model parameters,striving for peak prediction performance.The results indicated that optimized models generally exhibit enhanced predictive accuracy compared to their basic counterparts.Notably,the PSO-RFR model excels among all evaluated models,showcasing superior performance on the testing dataset.It achieves a coefficient of determination(R^(2))of 0.9231,a mean absolute error(MAE)of 2.1073,and a root mean square error(RMSE)of 3.6903.When compared to experimental results,the PSO-RFR and PSO-BPNN models demonstrate exceptional predictive accuracy.Notably,the PSO-BPNN model exhibits the closest R^(2)values between its training and test sets.This close alignment of R^(2)values between the training and testing sets reflects the PSO-BPNN model’s superior generalization ability for unseen data.The findings present an efficient method for predicting concrete’s compressive strength,contributing to the sustainable development of concrete materials,and providing theoretical support for their research and application.
文摘of patients.In medicine and rehabilitation engineering,machine vision technology has been widely used to design intelligent prostheses to help patients restore limb function.Grip strength control is one of the key challenges in developing prosthetic hands;for example,patients need to appropriately control the grip strength of the prosthetic hand depending on the nature and size of the object to be gripped to prevent it from slipping or being damaged.This study combines machine learning and deep learning techniques to determine object grip information by analyzing images of such objects,including their type,texture,and size,so as to select the appropriate grip strength threshold.The electromyographic gesture-control mode is integrated with the visual recognition system to achieve active detection and control of the intelligent prosthetic hand.This research is also transplanted into the K210 main control board for offline recognition to achieve more efficient real-time performance.The experimental results demonstrate that the system achieves an object recognition accuracy rate of 90%,and the real-machine recognition rate is above 85%.The system successfully implements adaptive grasping for eggs(fragile items)and water bottles(rigid objects).

文摘The advantages of genome selection(GS) in animal and plant breeding are self-evident.Traditional parametric models have disadvantage in better fit the increasingly large sequencing data and capture complex effects accurately.Machine learning models have demonstrated remarkable potential in addressing these challenges.In this study,we introduced the concept of mixed kernel functions to explore the performance of support vector machine regression(SVR) in GS.Six single kernel functions(SVR_L,SVR_C,SVR_G,SVR_P,SVR_S,SVR_L) and four mixed kernel functions(SVR_GS,SVR_GP,SVR_LS,SVR_LP) were used to predict genome breeding values.The prediction accuracy,mean squared error(MSE) and mean absolute error(MAE) were used as evaluation indicators to compare with two traditional parametric models(GBLUP,BayesB) and two popular machine learning models(RF,KcRR).The results indicate that in most cases,the performance of the mixed kernel function model significantly outperforms that of GBLUP,BayesB and single kernel function.For instance,for T1 in the pig dataset,the predictive accuracy of SVR_GS is improved by 10% compared to GBLUP,and by approximately 4.4 and 18.6% compared to SVR_G and SVR_S respectively.For E1 in the wheat dataset,SVR_GS achieves 13.3% higher prediction accuracy than GBLUP.Among single kernel functions,the Laplacian and Gaussian kernel functions yield similar results,with the Gaussian kernel function performing better.The mixed kernel function notably reduces the MSE and MAE when compared to all single kernel functions.Furthermore,regarding runtime,SVR_GS and SVR_GP mixed kernel functions run approximately three times faster than GBLUP in the pig dataset,with only a slight increase in runtime compared to the single kernel function model.In summary,the mixed kernel function model of SVR demonstrates speed and accuracy competitiveness,and the model such as SVR_GS has important application potential for GS.

文摘In the pharmaceutical field,machine learning can play an important role in drug development,production and treatment.Co-crystallization techniques have shown promising potential to enhance the properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients(APIs)such as solubility,permeability,and bioavailability,all without altering their chemical structure.This approach opens new avenues for developing natural products into effective drugs,especially those previously challenging in formulation.Emodin,an anthraquinone-based natural product,is a notable example due to its diverse biological activities;however,its physicochemical limitations,such as poor solubility and easy sublimation,restricted its clinical application.While various methods have improved emodin's physicochemical properties,research on its bioavailability remains limited.In our study,we summarize cocrystals and salts produced through co-crystallization technology and identify piperazine as a favorable coformer.Conflicting conclusions from computational chemistry and molecular modeling method and machine learning method regarding the formation of an emodin-piperazine cocrystal or salt led us to experimentally validate these possibilities.Ultimately,we successfully obtained the emodin-piperazine cocrystal,which were characterized and evaluated by several in vitro methods and pharmacokinetic studies.In addition,experiments have shown that emodin has a certain therapeutic effect on sepsis,so we also evaluated emodin-piperazine biological activity in a sepsis model.The results demonstrate that co-crystallization significantly enhances emodin's solubility,permeability,and bioavailability.Pharmacodynamic studies indicate that the emodin-piperazine cocrystal improves sepsis symptoms and provides protective effects against liver and kidney damage associated with sepsis.This study offers renewed hope for natural products with broad biological activities yet hindered by physicochemical limitations by advancing co-crystallization as a viable development approach.

文摘Tropospheric zenith wet delay(ZWD)plays a vital role in the analysis of space geodetic observations.In recent years,machine learning methods have been increasingly applied to improve the accuracy of ZWD calculations.However,a single machine learning model has limited generalization capabilities.To address these limitations,this study introduces a novel machine learning fusion(MLF)algorithm with stronger generalization capabilities to enhance ZWD modeling and prediction accuracy.The MLF algorithm utilizes a two-layer structure integrating extra trees(ET),backpropagation neural network(BPNN),and linear regression models.By comparing the root mean square error(RMSE)of these models,we found that both ET-based and MLF-based models outperform RF-based and BPNN-based models in terms of internal and external accuracy,across both surface meteorological data-based and blind models.The improvement in exte rnal accuracy is particularly significant in the blind models.Our re sults show that the MLF(with an RMSE of 3.93 cm)and ET(3.99 cm)models outperform the traditional GPT3model(4.07 cm),while the RF(4.21 cm)and BPNN(4.14 cm)have worse external accuracies than the GPT3 model.It is worth noting that the BPNN suffered from overfitting during external accuracy tests,which was avoided by the MLF.In summary,regardless of the availability of surface meteorological data,the MLF-based empirical models demonstrate superior internal and external accuracy compared to the other tested models in this study.

文摘Machine learning(ML)is recognized as a potent tool for the inverse design of environmental functional material,particularly for complex entities like biochar-based catalysts(BCs).Thus,the tailored BCs can have a distinct ability to trigger the nonradical pathway in advance oxidation processes(AOPs),promising a stable,rapid and selective degradation of persistent contaminants.However,due to the inherent“black box”nature and limitations of input features,results and conclusions derived from ML may not always be intuitively understood or comprehensively validated.To tackle this challenge,we linked the front-point interpretable analysis approaches with back-point density functional theory(DFT)calculations to form a chained learning strategy for deeper sight into the intrinsic activation mechanism of BCs in AOPs.At the front point,we conducted an easy-to-interpret meta-analysis to validate two strategies for enhancing nonradical pathways by increasing oxygen content and specific surface area(SSA),and prepared oxidized biochar(OBC500)and SSA-increased biochar(SBC900)by controlling pyrolysis conditions and modification methods.Subsequently,experimental results showed that OBC500 and SBC900 had distinct dominant degradation pathways for 1O2 generation and electron transfer,respectively.Finally,at the end point,DFT calculations revealed their active sites and degradation mechanisms.This chained learning strategy elucidates fundamental principles for BC inverse design and showcases the exceptional capacity to integrate computational techniques to accelerate catalyst inverse design.

文摘Accurate retrieval of atmospheric vertical profiles is critical for improving weather prediction and climate monitoring.However,the complexity of atmospheric processes in cloudy regions poses challenges compared to those of clear sky scenarios.This study presents a novel framework that integrates Bayesian optimization and machine learning approaches to retrieve atmospheric vertical profiles—including temperature,humidity,ozone concentration,cloud fraction,ice water content(IWC),and liquid water content(LWC)—from hyperspectral infrared observations.Specifically,a Bayesian method was used to refine ERA5 reanalysis data by minimizing brightness temperature(BT)discrepancies against FY-4B Geostationary Interferometric Infrared Sounder(GIIRS)observations,generating a high-quality profile database(~2.8 million profiles)across diverse weather systems.The optimized profiles improve radiative consistency,reducing BT biases from>40 K to<10 K in cloudy regions.To further overcome the limitations of the Bayesian method,we developed a Transformer-Resnet hybrid model(TERNet),which achieved superior performance with RMSE values of 1.61 K(temperature),5.77%(humidity),and 2.25×10^(–6)/6.09×10^(–6)kg kg^(–1)(IWC/LWC)across the entire vertical levels in all-sky conditions.The TERNet outperforms both ERA5 in cloud parameter retrieval and the GIIRS L2 product in thermodynamic profiling.Independent verification with radiosonde and Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations(CALIPSO)datasets confirms the framework's reliability across various meteorological regimes.This work demonstrates the capability of combining physics-informed Bayesian methods with data-driven machine learning to fully exploit hyperspectral IR data.

文摘Artificial intelligence(AI)based models have been used to predict the structural,optical,mechanical,and electrochemical properties of zinc oxide/graphene oxide nanocomposites.Machine learning(ML)models such as Artificial Neural Networks(ANN),Support Vector Regression(SVR),Multilayer Perceptron(MLP),and hybrid,along with fuzzy logic tools,were applied to predict the different properties like wavelength at maximum intensity(444 nm),crystallite size(17.50 nm),and optical bandgap(2.85 eV).While some other properties,such as energy density,power density,and charge transfer resistance,were also predicted with the help of datasets of 1000(80:20).In general,the energy parameters were predicted more accurately by hybrid models.The hydrothermal method was used to synthesize graphene oxide(GO)and zinc oxide(ZnO)nanocomposites.The increased surface area,conductivity,and stability of graphene oxide in zinc oxide nanoparticles make the composite an ideal option for energy storage.X-ray diffraction(XRD)confirmed the crystallite size of 17.41 nm for the nanocomposite and the presence of GO(12.8○)peaks.The scanning electron microscope(SEM)showed anchored wrinkled GO sheets on zinc oxide with an average particle size of 2.93μm.Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX)confirmed the elemental composition,and Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)revealed the impact of GO on functional groups and electrochemical behavior.Photoluminescence(PL)wavelength of(439 nm)and band gap of(2.81 eV)show that the material is suitable for energy applications in nanocomposites.Smart nanocomposite materials with improved performance in energy storage and related applications were fabricated by combining synthesis,characterization,fuzzy logic,and machine learning in this work.

文摘Nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)is a malignant tumor prevalent in southern China and Southeast Asia,where its early detection is crucial for improving patient prognosis and reducing mortality rates.However,existing screening methods suffer from limitations in accuracy and accessibility,hindering their application in large-scale population screening.In this work,a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS)-based method was established to explore the profiles of different stratified components in saliva from NPC and healthy subjects after fractionation processing.The study findings indicate that all fractionated samples exhibit diseaseassociated molecular signaling differences,where small-molecule(molecular weight cut-offvalue is 10 kDa)demonstrating superior classification capabilities with sensitivity of 90.5%and speci-ficity of 75.6%,area under receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of 0:925±0:031.The primary objective of this study was to qualitatively explore patterns in saliva composition across groups.The proposed SERS detection strategy for fractionated saliva offers novel insights for enhancing the sensitivity and reliability of noninvasive NPC screening,laying the foundation for translational application in large-scale clinical settings.

文摘Modern intrusion detection systems(MIDS)face persistent challenges in coping with the rapid evolution of cyber threats,high-volume network traffic,and imbalanced datasets.Traditional models often lack the robustness and explainability required to detect novel and sophisticated attacks effectively.This study introduces an advanced,explainable machine learning framework for multi-class IDS using the KDD99 and IDS datasets,which reflects real-world network behavior through a blend of normal and diverse attack classes.The methodology begins with sophisticated data preprocessing,incorporating both RobustScaler and QuantileTransformer to address outliers and skewed feature distributions,ensuring standardized and model-ready inputs.Critical dimensionality reduction is achieved via the Harris Hawks Optimization(HHO)algorithm—a nature-inspired metaheuristic modeled on hawks’hunting strategies.HHO efficiently identifies the most informative features by optimizing a fitness function based on classification performance.Following feature selection,the SMOTE is applied to the training data to resolve class imbalance by synthetically augmenting underrepresented attack types.The stacked architecture is then employed,combining the strengths of XGBoost,SVM,and RF as base learners.This layered approach improves prediction robustness and generalization by balancing bias and variance across diverse classifiers.The model was evaluated using standard classification metrics:precision,recall,F1-score,and overall accuracy.The best overall performance was recorded with an accuracy of 99.44%for UNSW-NB15,demonstrating the model’s effectiveness.After balancing,the model demonstrated a clear improvement in detecting the attacks.We tested the model on four datasets to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach and performed the ablation study to check the effect of each parameter.Also,the proposed model is computationaly efficient.To support transparency and trust in decision-making,explainable AI(XAI)techniques are incorporated that provides both global and local insight into feature contributions,and offers intuitive visualizations for individual predictions.This makes it suitable for practical deployment in cybersecurity environments that demand both precision and accountability.

文摘Urban rainwater runoff is an important source of nonpoint source pollution due to its transport of diverse contaminants,including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)and chlorinated derivatives.Importantly,these chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(Cl-PAHs)exhibit elevated toxicological potential compared to their non-halogenated parent compounds.In this study,we proposed an approach that combined multivariate receptor model with integration of SHapley Additive exPlanations and Random Forest model.This method identifies the possible sources and reveals the impact of source apportionment results and environmental driving factors(such as geographical and meteorological data)on pollutant concentrations.Sixteen PAHs and nine ClPAHs were detected in 79 runoff samples from all three sites.TheΣ_(16)PAHs average concentration(2923.93 to 6071.83 ng/L)was significantly higher than theΣ_(9)Cl-PAHs(384.34 to 1314.73 ng/L).The source apportionment was conducted by positive matrix factorization(PMF),and six potential pollution sources for PAHs and three for Cl-PAHs were quantified.PAHs primarily originate from the combustion of fossil fuels such as traffic,industrial emissions and coal tar,while Cl-PAHs are mainly derived from atmospheric deposition and industrial emissions.Meanwhile,the self‑organizing map classified PAHs and Cl-PAHs into 2 and 3 groups,respectively.The k-means algorithm yielded 4 clusters for runoff samples.Among machine learning models,Random Forest(RF)demonstrated optimal predictive performance and integrated with SHapley Additive exPlanations(RF-SHAP)revealed the effects of driving factors on the predicted concentration of PAHs and Cl-PAHs in urban runoff samples.
文摘This study investigates the uncertain dynamic characterization of hybrid composite plates by employing advanced machine-assisted finite element methodologies.Hybrid composites,widely used in aerospace,automotive,and structural applications,often face variability in material properties,geometric configurations,and manufacturing processes,leading to uncertainty in their dynamic response.To address this,three surrogate-based machine learning approaches like radial basis function(RBF),multivariate adaptive regression splines(MARS),and polynomial neural networks(PNN)are integrated with a finite element framework to efficiently capture the stochastic behavior of these plates.The research focuses on predicting the first three natural frequencies under material uncertainties,which are critical to ensuring structural reliability.Monte Carlo simulation(MCS)is used as a benchmark for generating probabilistic datasets,including mean values,standard deviations,and probability density functions.The surrogate models are then trained and validated against these datasets,enabling accurate representation of uncertainty with substantially fewer samples compared to conventionalMCS.Among the methods studied,the RBFmodel demonstrates superior performance,closely approximating MCS results with a reduced sample size,thereby achieving significant computational savings.The proposed framework not only reduces computational time and costs but also maintains high predictive accuracy,making it well-suited for complex engineering systems.Beyond free vibration analysis,the methodology can be extended to more sophisticated scenarios,such as forced vibration,damping effects,and nonlinear structural responses.Overall,this work presents a computationally efficient and robust approach for surrogate-based uncertainty quantification,advancing the analysis and design of hybrid composite structures under uncertainty.

文摘Objectives:Decisions regarding CT after nCCRT for locally advanced rectal cancer(LARC)are challenging due to limited evidence guiding treatment.This study aimed to(i)evaluate the predictive performance of machine learning(ML)models in patients treated with neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy(nCCRT)alone vs.those receiving nCCRT plus chemotherapy(CT),(ii)identify features associated with treatment improvement,and(iii)derive ML-based thresholds for treatment response.Methods:This retrospective study included 409 patients with LARC treated at three affiliated hospitals of Taipei Medical University.Patients were categorised into two groups:nCCRT alone followed by surgery(n=182)and nCCRT plus additional CT(n=227).Thirty-four baseline demographic,tumor,and laboratory variables were analysed.Four ML algorithms(K-Star,Random Forest,Multilayer Perceptron,and Random Committee)were evaluated,while five feature-ranking algorithms identified influential attributes among improved patients across both treatments.Decision Stump and AdaBoostM1 were applied to derive threshold-based patterns.Results:K-Star achieved the highest accuracy for nCCRT alone(80.8%;AUC=0.89),while Random Committee performed best for nCCRT plus CT(77.3%;AUC=0.84).Clinical N stage(cN)ranked highest,followed by Sodium(Na),Glutamic pyruvic transaminase,estimated glomerular filtration rate,body weight,red blood cell count,mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration,and blood urea nitrogen.Threshold patterns suggested that CT-related improvement aligned with higher lymphocyte percentage and lower platelet distribution width,whereas nCCRT-only improvement aligned with elevated eGFR,GPT,and cN=2.Conclusions:ML-based analysis identified key predictors and demonstrated good model performance,supporting individualised post-nCCRT chemotherapy decisions.

文摘BACKGROUND:This study aims to develop and validate a machine learning-based in-hospital mortality predictive model for acute aortic syndrome(AAS)in the emergency department(ED)and to derive a simplifi ed version suitable for rapid clinical application.METHODS:In this multi-center retrospective cohort study,AAS patient data from three hospitals were analyzed.The modeling cohort included data from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and the People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,with Peking University Third Hospital data serving as the external test set.Four machine learning algorithms—logistic regression(LR),multilayer perceptron(MLP),Gaussian naive Bayes(GNB),and random forest(RF)—were used to develop predictive models based on 34 early-accessible clinical variables.A simplifi ed model was then derived based on fi ve key variables(Stanford type,pericardial eff usion,asymmetric peripheral arterial pulsation,decreased bowel sounds,and dyspnea)via Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator(LASSO)regression to improve ED applicability.RESULTS:A total of 929 patients were included in the modeling cohort,and 210 were included in the external test set.Four machine learning models based on 34 clinical variables were developed,achieving internal and external validation AUCs of 0.85-0.90 and 0.73-0.85,respectively.The simplifi ed model incorporating fi ve key variables demonstrated internal and external validation AUCs of 0.71-0.86 and 0.75-0.78,respectively.Both models showed robust calibration and predictive stability across datasets.CONCLUSION:Both kinds of models were built based on machine learning tools,and proved to have certain prediction performance and extrapolation.
