• Abstract: This paper proposes a machine learning-based approach for identifying honey floral and geographical sources using mineral element profiles. The proposed method comprises two steps: preprocessing and classification. The preprocessing phase involves missing-value treatment and data normalization. In the classification phase, we employ various supervised classification models for discriminating between six botanical sources and 13 geographical origins of honey. We test the classifiers' performance on a publicly available honey mineral element dataset. The dataset contains mineral element profiles of honeys from various floral and geographical origins. Results show that mineral element content in honey provides discriminative information useful for classifying honey botanical and geographical sources. Results also show that the Random Forests (RF) classifier obtains the best performance on this dataset, achieving a cross-validation accuracy of 99.30% for classifying honey botanical origins and 98.01% for classifying honey geographical origins.

  Honey is susceptible to adulteration, a situation that has substantial consequences for the well-being of the general population and the financial well-being of a country. This paper presents a novel approach by employing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for the classification of honey samples based on thermal images.

  Ensemble knowledge distillation can extract knowledge from multiple teacher models and encode it into a single student model. Many existing methods learn and distill the student model on labeled data only. We propose a unified and effective ensemble knowledge distillation method that distills a single student model from an ensemble of teacher models on both labeled and unlabeled data.

  This paper present a strong data mining method based on rough set, which can realize feature selection, classification and knowledge representation at the same time. We first find the ineffectiveness of rough set because of overfitting, especially in processing noise attribute, and propose a robust measurement for an attribute, called relative importance. Experimental results on public benchmark data sets show that the proposed framework achieves higher accurcy than seven popular or the state-of-the-art feature selection methods.
