However, the current spectral data analysis methods typically involve a two-step process of dimensionality reduction and model learning, lacking seamless integration. In this study, we address this issue by investigating a discriminative learning approach based on LIBS, utilizing the Discriminative Restricted Boltzmann Machine (DRBM). We apply LIBS technology in conjunction with DRBM for spectral feature selection and classification of five distinct small-sample aluminum alloy samples. The learned spectral latent distribution from the generative model component of DRBM effectively regularizes the discriminative process, thereby overcoming the problem of training overfitting arising from the high-dimensional small-sample limitation. This results in a stable and generalizable qualitative analysis model independent of empirical knowledge. The approach presented in this study achieves a 100 % accuracy, surpassing the best-performing traditional machine learning method (PCA-RF) by 13.33 % in accuracy and demonstrating a similar improvement compared to a Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN) with the same structure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9774,"journal":{"name":"Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems","volume":"258 ","pages":"Article 105342"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143349115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these issues, this paper introduces the IWCARS (Initial Weight and Weight, I & W) algorithm, which implements two key methodological enhancements: initial weight selection and weight update strategy. This algorithm, building upon the traditional CARS algorithm and density-based clustering, offers a supplementary tool for data feature selection by computing density and weight, and employs an adaptive model evaluation mechanism to select the most pertinent features, ultimately constructing a model with enhanced predictive capability. IWCARS optimizes model performance by dynamically adjusting the feature set, thereby improving the algorithm's prediction performance and model fit. Furthermore, the IWCARS method, in conjunction with a Partial Least Squares (PLS) model, was applied to measure soil Available Potassium (AK) content using near-infrared spectroscopy. Five pre-processing techniques were conducted on the near-infrared spectrum, with the IWCARS + PLS model constructed using first derivative data, yielding optimal results. The experimental results demonstrated that the model based on 1st Derivative + IWCARS + PLS yielded the best performance. Specifically, the model achieved R<sub>C</sub><sup>2</sup> of 0.9905, R<sub>p</sub><sup>2</sup> of 0.9817, RMSEC of 0.8917, RMSEP of 0.9024, and RPD of 8.5176. Robustness, versatility, and transferability tests demonstrated that the proposed IWCARS algorithm, when integrated into the PLS model, achieved commendable measurement accuracy. While there are limited strategies for concurrently addressing high computational complexity, challenging parameter settings, and overfitting risks, this study aims to mitigate these concerns by reducing the computational complexity of the CARS algorithm, simplifying parameter settings, and preventing overfitting, ultimately enhancing the model's fitting accuracy, training speed, and generalization capability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9774,"journal":{"name":"Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems","volume":"258 ","pages":"Article 105324"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143183732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
