Summary: Gradual pattern extraction is a field in Knowledge Discovery in Databases that aims to map correlations between attributes of a data set as gradual dependencies. In this study, three population-based optimization techniques are investigated to improve the efficiency of mining gradual patterns. The results show that ant colony optimization technique outperforms genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization in the task of gradual pattern mining.

Summary: Continuous Ant-based Topology Search (CANTS) is a novel nature-inspired neural architecture search algorithm based on ant colony optimization. It utilizes a continuous search space to automate the design of artificial neural networks, removing the limitation of predetermined structure sizes. By adding an extra dimension for neural synaptic weights, CANTS can optimize both architecture and weights, significantly reducing optimization time while maintaining competitive performance.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of weather conditions, winter and spring, on the curing and performance of metakaolin-based pervious concrete, as well as the impact of various eco-friendly fine aggregates on improving its structural behavior. The results showed that metakaolin had a positive effect on the compressive strength of pervious concrete when cured in spring, but intensified the freeze trend when cured in winter.
