Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last few years, neural network applications have thrived in almost every domain of modern science and technology. For this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring recent advances in the application of neural networks in sensors and microwave antennas. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Sensor data processing;
  • Implementation of neural networks in sensor devices;
  • Machine-learning-based sensor calibration;
  • Artificial-intelligence-driven antenna design and optimization;
  • Neural-network-based smart antenna arrays;
  • Application of neural networks in MIMO antenna systems.

Works that validate the proposed methods at the experimental level will be especially welcome.

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has become a popular technique for assessing food quality due to its advantages over complex chemical analysis methods. However, the application of NIR spectroscopy for evaluating fish quality based on urea content has not been extensively explored. This study investigates the use of NIR spectroscopy in combination with machine learning (ML) techniques to classify fish samples into two safety classes—Safe and Unsafe—based on their urea content. A comprehensive NIR dataset comprising 11,960 spectra collected from eight distinct positions within the fish body was obtained from 299 fish samples of mackerel, tuna, and pompano species. ML experiments were conducted to classify fish samples based on whether their urea content exceeded the permissible limit of 1000 ppm. To address class imbalance and optimize ML models, various data pre-processing and feature extraction techniques, as well as ML algorithms, were explored. The results demonstrated that utilizing NIR data specifically obtained from the outer skin of the stomach yielded superior models for fish safety classification. A feature extraction method employing pre-processed NIR spectra and their first derivatives, combined with an optimized convolutional neural network architecture, outperformed traditional ML classifiers, achieving an accuracy of up to 83.9%.
