A Factorial Investigation of Hyperparameter Tuning Strategies for Lasso- Based Genomic Prediction
Abstract: In an earlier comparative study of machine-learning methods for genomic prediction of wheat grain yield, we reported a counter-intuitive result: automated nested-cross-validation tuning of the Lasso regularization penalty reduced mean predictive ability relative to a fixed, arbitrarily chosen penalty (mean Pearson r falling from 0.408 to 0.349 across four environments), the opposite of the expected effect of hyperparameter tuning. We hypothesized two possible explanations at the time — high-variance penalty …

The Evolution of Bio Crypt Keys: From Concept to Implementation
Abstract: With the rapid increase in data exfiltration due to cyber-attacks, Covert Timing Channels (CTCs) have emerged as a significant and sophisticated network security threat. These channels exploit inter-arrival times of data packets to exfiltrate sensitive information from targeted networks. Detecting CTCs increasingly relies on machine learning techniques, which use statistical metrics to differentiate between malicious (covert) and legitimate (overt) traffic flows. However, as cyber-attacks become more adept at evading detection …
