Abstract
Data valuation, the process of assigning value to data based on its utility and usefulness, is a critical and largely unexplored aspect of data markets. Within the Machine Learning Data Market (MLDM), a platform that enables data exchange among multiple agents, the challenge of quantifying the value of data becomes particularly prominent. Agents within MLDM are motivated to exchange data based on its potential impact on their individual performance. Shapley Value-based methods have gained traction in addressing this challenge, prompting our study to investigate their effectiveness within the MLDM context. Specifically, we propose the Gain Data Shapley Value (GDSV) method tailored for MLDM and compare it to the original data valuation method used in MLDM. Our analysis focuses on two common learning algorithms, Decision Tree (DT) and K-nearest neighbors (KNN), within a simulated society of five agents, tested on 45 classification datasets. results show that the GDSV leads to incremental improvements in predictive performance across both DT and KNN algorithms compared to performance-based valuation or the baseline. These findings underscore the potential of Shapley Value-based methods in identifying high-value data within MLDM while indicating areas for further improvement.

Abstract
In today's volatile, uncertain, and complex business environments, manufacturing companies must not only adapt to market demands but also minimize the time between problem occurrence and resolution. The implementation of lean manufacturing systems has been crucial in this regard. However, traditional approaches have shown notable inefficiencies that can be effectively addressed through digitalization. By embracing digital solutions, manufacturing companies can ensure efficient continuous improvement, driving performance to higher levels. This study aims to find a digital solution for a specific company that faces daily challenges associated with low visibility into production. An investigation revealed that the Lean tools used by the company were outdated, directly affecting the generated information and consequently, decision-making. The integration of a Manufacturing Execution System into the factory's dynamics was the solution found. In this context, a step-by-step methodology is proposed to guide the implementation. As a result, a prototype of the system was designed. The validation of the system by end-users demonstrates the success of the proposed methodology.

Abstract
This study focuses on the assessment of ground vibrations due to pile driving activities. Given the likelihood of excessive vibration due to the driving process, it is imperative to predict vibration levels during the design phase. The primary goal of this work is to integrate machine learning techniques, specifically Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for real-time vibration prediction. The training dataset was generated using a validated numerical model and the trained models were validated based on experimental results. This validation process highlights the efficiency and accuracy of Extreme Gradient Boosting in predicting the-free-field response of the ground.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. Because of high survival rates, there has been an increased interest in patient Quality of Life after treatment. Aesthetic results play an important role in this aspect, as these treatments can leave a mark on a patient’s self-image. Despite that, there are no standard ways of assessing aesthetic outcomes. Commonly used software such as BCCT.core or BAT require the manual annotation of keypoints, which makes them time-consuming for clinical use and can lead to result variability depending on the user. Recently, there have been attempts to leverage both traditional and Deep Learning algorithms to detect keypoints automatically. In this paper, we compare several methods for the detection of Breast Endpoints across two datasets. Furthermore, we present an extended evaluation of using these models as input for full contour prediction and aesthetic evaluation using the BCCT.core software. Overall, the YOLOv9 model, fine-tuned for this task, presents the best results considering both accuracy and usability, making this architecture the best choice for this application. The main contribution of this paper is the development of a pipeline for full breast contour prediction, which reduces clinician workload and user variability for automatic aesthetic assessment. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

Abstract
Aims. We aim to investigate the origin of the HI Br gamma emission in young stars by using GRAVITY to image the innermost region of circumstellar disks, where important physical processes such as accretion and winds occur. With high spectral and angular resolution, we focus on studying the continuum and the HI Br gamma-emitting area of the Herbig star HD 58647. Methods. Using VLTI-GRAVITY, we conducted observations of HD 58647 with both high spectral and high angular resolution. Thanks to the extensive uv coverage, we were able to obtain detailed images of the circumstellar environment at a sub-au scale, specifically capturing the continuum and the Br gamma-emitting region. Through the analysis of velocity-dispersed images and photocentre shifts, we were able to investigate the kinematics of the HI Br gamma-emitting region. Results. The recovered continuum images show extended emission where the disk major axis is oriented along a position angle of 14 degrees. The size of the continuum emission at 5-sigma levels is similar to 1.5 times more extended than the sizes reported from geometrical fitting (3.69 mas +/- 0.02 mas). This result supports the existence of dust particles close to the stellar surface, screened from the stellar radiation by an optically thick gaseous disk. Moreover, for the first time with GRAVITY, the hot gas component of HD 58647 traced by the Br gamma has been imaged. This allowed us to constrain the size of the Br gamma-emitting region and study the kinematics of the hot gas; we find its velocity field to be roughly consistent with gas that obeys Keplerian motion. The velocity-dispersed images show that the size of the hot gas emission is from a more compact region than the continuum (2.3 mas +/- 0.2 mas). Finally, the line phases show that the emission is not entirely consistent with Keplerian rotation, hinting at a more complex structure in the hot gaseous disk.
