Labeled data is the main ingredient for classification tasks. Labeled data is not always available and free. Semi-supervised learning solves the problem of labeling the unlabeled instances through heuristics. Self-training is one of the most widely-used comprehensible approaches for labeling data. Traditional self-training approaches tend to show low classification accuracy when the majority of the data is unlabeled. A novel approach named Self-Training using Associative Classification using Ant Colony Optimization (ST-AC-ACO) has been proposed in this article to label and classify the unlabeled data instances to improve self-training classification accuracy by exploiting the association among attribute values (terms) and between a set of terms and class labels of the labeled instances. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has been employed to construct associative classification rules based on labeled and pseudo-labeled instances. Experiments demonstrate the superiority of the proposed associative self-training approach to its competing traditional self-training approaches.
The center of human settlements is in the cities, which must have high-quality habitats for their inhabitants. Many megachallenges of urbanization, population development, global advancement, environmental destruction, traffic management, and climate change must be addressed. This study is aimed at understanding how to maintain balanced land development in rapidly urbanizing towns to solve this challenge and mobility issues. Climate and weather forecasts, land cover, environmental indices, nonoptical and optical wavelengths, water history, and air quality are only some of the datasets available on Google Earth Engine, a publicly usable data repository. Machine learning techniques, i.e., random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and classification and regression tree (CART), are used to monitor spatial-temporal change regarding water, vegetation, and urbanization for Pakistan from 2013 to 2021 using Landsat 8. The detection of urban land suitability concerning multiple metrics such as ecological response variables, environmental tension, socio-economic development potential, and natural resource potential is also found. Dataset features were classified as bands in the Google Earth Engine. Moreover, for 2020 and 2021, classification results showing the change in water, vegetation, and urbanization are also represented concerning China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) highway and the railway track to monitor and control traffic and its management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
