Plant diseases are a critical threat to the agricultural sector. Therefore, accurate plant disease classification is important. In recent years, some researchers have used synthetic images of GAN to enhance plant disease recognition accuracy. In this paper, we propose a generative adversarial classified network (GACN) to further improve plant disease recognition accuracy. The GACN comprises a generator, discriminator, and classifier. The proposed model can not only enhance convolutional neural network performance by generating synthetic images to balance plant disease datasets but the GACN classifier can also be directly applied to plant disease recognition tasks. Experimental results on the PlantVillage and AI Challenger 2018 datasets show that the contribution of the proposed method to improve the discriminability of the convolution neural network is greater than that of the label-conditional methods of CGAN, ACGAN, BAGAN, and MFC-GAN. The accuracy of the trained classifier for plant disease recognition is also better than that of the plant disease recognition models studied on public plant disease datasets. In addition, we conducted several experiments to observe the effects of different numbers and resolutions of synthetic images on the discriminability of convolutional neural network.

Numerical simulation serves as a cornerstone in scientific modeling, yet the process of fine-tuning simulation parameters poses significant challenges. Conventionally, parameter adjustment relies on extensive numerical simulations, data analysis, and expert insights, resulting in substantial computational costs and low efficiency. The emergence of deep learning in recent years has provided promising avenues for more efficient exploration of parameter spaces. However, existing approaches often lack intuitive methods for precise parameter adjustment and optimization. To tackle these challenges, we introduce ParamsDrag, a model that facilitates parameter space exploration through direct interaction with visualizations. Inspired by DragGAN, our ParamsDrag model operates in three steps. First, the generative component of ParamsDrag generates visualizations based on the input simulation parameters. Second, by directly dragging structure-related features in the visualizations, users can intuitively understand the controlling effect of different parameters. Third, with the understanding from the earlier step, users can steer ParamsDrag to produce dynamic visual outcomes. Through experiments conducted on real-world simulations and comparisons with state-of-the-art deep learning-based approaches, we demonstrate the efficacy of our solution.
