Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the applications of symmetry and asymmetry in machine learning with a focus on supporting blockchain technology. Symmetry and asymmetry play crucial roles in various aspects of machine learning, including data representation, feature extraction, classification, and anomaly detection. This Special Issue invites authors to contribute their research on the innovative utilization of symmetry and asymmetry in machine learning algorithms and techniques for blockchain applications. The goal is to deepen our understanding of how symmetry and asymmetry can enhance the efficiency, security, and scalability of blockchain systems while leveraging the potential of machine learning.

The accurate prediction of urban road collapses is of paramount importance for public safety and infrastructure management. However, the complex and variable nature of road subsidence mechanisms, coupled with the inherent noise and non-stationarity in the data, poses significant challenges to the development of precise and real-time prediction models. To address these challenges, this paper develops an Adaptive Difference Least Squares Support Vector Regression (AD-LSSVR) model. The AD-LSSVR model employs a difference transformation to process the input and output data, effectively reducing noise and enhancing model stability. This transformation extracts trends and features from the data, leveraging the symmetrical characteristics inherent within it. Additionally, the model parameters were optimized using grid search and cross-validation techniques, which systematically explore the parameter space and evaluate model performance of multiple subsets of data, ensuring both precision and generalizability of the selected parameters. Moreover, a sliding window method was employed to address data sparsity and anomalies, ensuring the robustness and adaptability of the model. The experimental results demonstrate the superior adaptability and precision of the AD-LSSVR model in predicting road collapse timing, highlighting its effectiveness in handling the complex nonlinear data.
