Versions Notes
The journal retracts the article titled “Auto-Encoder Classification Model for Water Crystals with Fine-Tuning” [1], cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding numerous scientific inaccuracies in this article [1].
Adhering to our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office, and the Editorial Board confirmed the presence of a range of scientific flaws and the absence of a validated dataset as well as a cluster of references published in [2] produced by a different authorship group.
As a result, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the validity of the overall findings and have decided to retract this article [1] as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Crystals.
The authors did not provide a comment on this decision.
