The Hidden Perception Constraint in Task-Aware Compression

2026 · 0 citations

With the recent advancements of neural compressors, explicitly incorporating perception constraints into the design of compression schemes has gained significant attention. Traditionally, these perception constraints ensure that the distribution of the reconstruction does not significantly deviate from the distribution of the source, thus attesting to the perceptual quality of the reconstruction. In this work, we uncover several perception constraints that are naturally present in task-aware com…

Interpretable AI-Driven Modelling of Soil–Structure Interface Shear Strength Using Genetic Programming with SHAP and Fourier Feature Augmentation

2025 · 1 citations

Accurate prediction of soil–structure interface shear strength (τmax) is critical for reliable geotechnical design. This study combines experimental testing with interpretable machine learning to overcome the limitations of traditional empirical models and black-box approaches. Ninety large-displacement ring shear tests were performed on five sands and three interface materials (steel, PVC, and stone) under normal stresses of 25–100 kPa. The results showed that particle morphology, quantified by…
