As such, high quality of data analysis is greatly desired for accurate and effective downstreaming exploitations. This is also true for the domain of astronomical survey like GOTO (Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer), where large amount of raw data has been collected daily. This is one of recognised projects that search for transient events with the new breed of optical survey telescopes that can detect the sky faster and deeper. This is accomplished by comparing the night-specific data with the reference such that new bright sources are obtained for further study. However, the huge size of data makes it difficult to sift by naked eyes, thus requiring an automated system. Yet, many conventional machine-learning models have been sub-optimal for this task, as true positives can hardly be recognised due to the nature of imbalance data. This motivates the exploration of convolutional neural networks or CNN for this binary classification problem. Based on existing technologies, the paper reports the original application of basic CNN model to a representative data, which has been designed and generated within the GOTO project. In addition to the improvement over those previous works, this empirical study also includes details of parameter analysis, which will be useful for practice and further investigation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72769,"journal":{"name":"Data and information management","volume":"8 3","pages":"Article 100035"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2543925123000098/pdfft?md5=2a55597016759c169b3af4100cbcbbb7&pid=1-s2.0-S2543925123000098-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44409897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this issue, fashion brands prioritize the implementation of try-on technology, aiming to improve product visibility and provide sensory input. However, existing studies have yielded conflicting findings. This research aims to resolve this issue by organizing and categorizing the relevant literature.

Taking a step toward filling this gap, the current study aims to shape an overall and reliable picture of the research realm on digital transformation. To the aim, a computational method namely topic modeling was applied to two big texts, one of which includes all digital transformation-related publications that were indexed in well-known Scopus and Web of Science databases (8639 documents), and the other one only contains studies that were published by high-quality JCR journals (1264 documents). As a result, 20 and 13 topics were respectively introduced as the underlying themes of the global trends and core knowledge in digital transformation research along with their temporal evolutionary paths throughout the recent years. Also, by comparing these two groups of topics, it was known that there are nine developing trends in this field of research that require more attention and advancements to establish themselves as the core knowledge of the field.

The analysis shows that the majority of WWD studies were conducted between 2014 and 2020. Throughout the entire period, the primary focuses have been on WWD countermeasures, freeways, exit ramps, contributing factors, driver behavior, and detection systems. Over time, there has been a noticeable shift in the key themes, whereby earlier studies focused on freeways and driver behaviors, while the latter delved into exit ramps, limited access, and contributing factors among others. Most studies were from Florida, Texas, Illinois, and Alabama, with little collaboration of researchers across the States, except for Alabama and Illinois. Further, across the four States, there observed variations in the interests. Studies from Texas and Florida were centered on WWD countermeasures, detection systems, and the use of connected vehicles, while Illinois and Alabama investigated WWD crashes on exit ramps and interchanges. Despite the development and deployment of various countermeasures, there is still a need to develop crash modification factors to examine the effectiveness of the countermeasures. Furthermore, as technology continues to advance, connected and autonomous technology is expected to play a significant role in mitigating the WWD problem.
