Its significance extends to the design of various earthworks like embankments, foundations, and pavements, influencing the soil’s strength, stiffness, and stability. The MDD is contingent on diverse elements like soil type, grain size distribution, moisture content and compaction effort. Generally, heightened compaction effort correlates with an increased MDD, while elevated moisture content corresponds to a reduced MDD. Accurate prediction of the MDD under specific conditions is imperative to uphold the quality and safety standards of earthworks. This research aims to introduce Support Vector Regression (SVR) as a modeling technique for predicting the MDD of soil-stabilizer mixtures. To establish an accurate and comprehensive model that can correlate the stabilized soil’s MDD with attributes of natural soil, consisting linear shrinkage, particle size distribution, plasticity, as well as the type and number of stabilizing additives, three optimization algorithms, namely Artificial Rabbits Optimization (ARO), Manta Ray Foraging Optimization (MRFO), and Improved Manta-Ray Foraging Optimizer (IMRFO), were employed in addition to SVR.

This not only boosts company profits but also enhances metrics like average revenue per user (ARPU), customer lifecycle value, and reduces customer churn. Striking a balance between these objectives presents a formidable task. To address this challenge, we propose a novel approach called Genetic Algorithm Mobile Plan Generation (GA-MPG). The proposed method stands out for its deterministic approach that equally focuses on minimizing customer churn. This is done by providing them with the best-suited plans without making them pay extra for features they would use. The efficient mobile plan generation using GA-MPG is accomplished by the combination of the AdaBoost classifier and the Fuzzy model. The AdaBoost is utilized for feasible mobile plan generation and predicting the optimal solution amongst the various plans. Additionally, a fuzzy model recommends personalized plans based on customers' typical service usage. This also maximizes company profits, contrasting with existing strategies employed by various telecom companies which focus on one of the two problems. The proposed GA-MPG algorithm demonstrated promising results on a prominent US-based telecom dataset encompassing around 7000 customers, with a substantial 44% reduction in customer churn. These findings are based on the simulation results.

Some multi-teacher knowledge distillation methods have shown effective in C-way classification task. However, it is unreasonable for free-KDA model, since free-KDA model is one-class classification task. Instead of using soft-label to capture useful knowledge of source for target device, we propose a device adaptation free-KDA model.
