This research aimed to analyze and understand the perceived landscape preferences of lake parks (LPs) and how the public perceives and prefers these elements within the context of lake parks. The objective was to provide insights beneficial for landscape design, urban planning, and the creation of more appealing and sustainable lake parks. To achieve this, two primary methods were employed in this study: the Automated Machine Learning (Auto ML) model and the DeepLab v3+ model. To gather data for the research, 46,444 images were collected from 20 different lake parks from 2019 to 2022. Social media platforms such as Instagram, Flickr, and specific lake park community groups were tapped to source photographs from both professional photographers and the general public. According to the experimental findings, the perceived frequency of natural landscapes was 69.27%, which was higher than that of humanistic landscapes by 30.73%. The perceived intensity was also maintained between 0.09 and 0.25. The perceived frequency of water body landscapes was much greater on a macro-scale, at 73.02%, and the public had various plant preferences throughout the year. Aquatic plant landscapes with low-to-medium green visibility were preferred by the public, according to the landscape share characterization, while amusement rides with medium-to-high openness were preferred. The sky visibility of amusement rides was between 0 and 0.1 and between 0.3 and 0.5, indicating that the public preferred amusement rides with medium-to-high openness. In lake parks, the populace chose settings with less obvious architectural features. When combined, the two models used in this study are useful for identifying and analyzing the intended traits and preferences of lake parks among the general public. They also have theoretical and practical application value for directing the development of lake parks and urban landscapes.

With the rapid expansion of the smart clothing market, designers face increasing pressure to balance functional performance, material suitability, environmental impact, and development efficiency. Conventional design workflows and rule-based assistance methods often struggle to provide adaptive and data-driven support for multi-constraint decision-making. To address this issue, this study proposes an AI-driven decision support system for sustainable smart clothing design based on a multi-scale dynamic graph convolutional network (MDGCN). The proposed system integrates material properties, environmental indicators, and user-oriented design requirements into a unified decision-support framework and further enhances feature extraction through an attention mechanism. Two datasets, the Wearable Technology Material Properties Dataset (WTMPD) and the Environmental Impact Assessment Dataset (EIAD), were used to validate the model and system effectiveness. Experimental results showed that the MDGCN-based model achieved accuracies of 0.964 and 0.943, with recalls of 0.923 and 0.920 on the WTMPD and EIAD datasets, respectively. In system-level evaluation, the proposed decision support system reduced design time from 120 h to 60 h, improved material selection accuracy to 90.2%, and achieved superior operational performance in terms of resource utilization (77.45%), energy consumption (115.25 kWh), and response time (1.56 s). These results demonstrate that the proposed framework can effectively support complex design decision-making while improving efficiency, sustainability, and adaptability in smart clothing development. The study provides a practical AI-enabled system innovation approach for sustainable smart clothing design by linking flexible material selection, environmental impact prediction, and designer-oriented decision support. In addition, the prototype deployment demonstrates the feasibility of applying the proposed system as a design-stage wearable AI tool for mediating human, technological, and environmental considerations in smart clothing development.

Accurately predicting the muscle strength of key muscle–tendon units during human motion is vital for understanding movement mechanisms, optimizing exercise training, evaluating rehabilitation progress, and advancing prosthetic control technologies. Traditional prediction methods often suffer from low accuracy and high computational complexity. To address these challenges, this study employs independent component analysis (ICA) to predict the muscle strength of tendon units in primary moving parts of the human body. The proposed method had the highest accuracy in localization, at 98% when the sample size was 20. When the sample size was 100, the proposed method had the shortest localization time, with a localization time of 0.025 s. The accuracy of muscle strength prediction based on backpropagation neural network for key muscle–tendon units in human motion was the highest, with an accuracy of 99% when the sample size was 100. The method can effectively optimize the accuracy and efficiency of muscle strength prediction for key muscle–tendon units in human motion and reduce computational complexity.

With the increasing severity of global climate change, low-carbon development has become a key issue in the energy industry. As an effective way to optimize energy utilization and reduce carbon emissions, integrated energy system is receiving increasing attention. However, existing low-carbon control methods still face many challenges in improving system efficiency and reducing carbon emissions, and the ability of multi-energy cooperative scheduling and optimal control is insufficient. Therefore, a hybrid algorithm combining the particle swarm optimization and cuckoo search algorithms is designed to adjust the integrated energy low-carbon control capability. The proposed algorithm required fewer iterations than the genetic cuckoo algorithm, which only went through 43 iterations. The convergence speed was improved by 34.8% compared with a single cuckoo algorithm. Among the four scenarios, scenario 4 and scenario 3 had the highest utilization rates of 99.75%, while scenario 1 had the lowest utilization rate of 61.96%. This indicates that the integrated energy system controlled by the particle swarm optimization cuckoo algorithm, while considering carbon capture and storage as well as power-to-gas conversion, can effectively utilize solar energy resources for power generation and achieve energy-saving and emission reduction effects. In summary, this method can help the integrated energy system adapt to various optimization strategies, which promotes the development of low-carbon control technologies in the energy industry.

Improving indoor acoustic comfort in buildings remains challenging for conventional acoustic design methods because they often rely on empirical formulas, static databases, and limited adaptability to dynamic environmental changes. To address these limitations, this study proposes a physics-informed Transformer framework for indoor acoustic comfort optimization in buildings. The proposed framework integrates measured, simulated, and publicly available acoustic data to construct an adaptive dataset for indoor acoustic modeling. A hierarchical time–frequency attention mechanism is introduced to capture complex acoustic features, while a physics-informed module is incorporated to improve the physical consistency of the predicted acoustic responses. In addition, a dynamic optimization strategy is developed to adjust acoustic parameters under changing indoor conditions while considering both acoustic performance and energy efficiency. Experimental results show that the proposed framework achieves a Mel-spectral distortion of 6.12 dB and a speech intelligibility score of 89.3%, while reducing the prediction errors of reverberation time and early decay time to 0.11 s and 0.09 s, respectively. In practical deployment tests, the proposed method increased the early sound energy ratio by 46.4%, improved reverberation time control accuracy by 41.2%, reduced total energy consumption by 29.7%, and increased the user acoustic comfort score by 38.1%, with an average response time of 1.8 s. These results demonstrate that the proposed framework provides an effective data-driven and physics-informed approach for improving indoor acoustic comfort and energy-efficient acoustic management in buildings.

Urban acoustic environments and performing-arts spaces strongly influence speech communication quality, acoustic comfort, and public wellbeing, particularly in noise-exposed shared environments such as transport hubs, campuses, healthcare spaces, public service facilities, music-education settings, and rehearsal or performance-related spaces. To address speech–noise separation in low signal-to-noise ratio and acoustically complex scenarios, this study proposes a lightweight two-stage deep learning framework termed LCGRU–Wave-SkipConvNet. In the preprocessing stage, a Lightweight Convolutional Gated Recurrent Unit (LCGRU) model is employed to achieve preliminary separation of target speech and background noise by capturing both spatial and temporal acoustic features. In the post-processing stage, a Wave-SkipConvNet model is introduced to further suppress residual noise and enhance speech quality. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves superior performance under different signal-to-noise ratios, sound-source angles, and target angle errors. For example, in the preprocessing stage, the LCGRU model achieved a perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) score of 2.64 at source angles between 0° and 30°, outperforming the convolutional neural network-long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) model by 1.17. In the post-processing stage, the Wave-SkipConvNet model achieved higher short-time objective intelligibility (STOI) and segmental signal-to-noise ratio (segSNR) values than the comparison models under different SNR conditions. The proposed framework provides an effective and deployment-oriented AI solution for improving speech accessibility and acoustic comfort in urban acoustic environments and performing-arts spaces. Beyond speech enhancement, it offers practical potential for supporting healthier, more inclusive, and more equitable acoustic environments in noise-sensitive public and educational spaces. It should be noted that this study focuses on the objective acoustic environment and signal-level speech enhancement, rather than subjective soundscape perception, musical perception, or human perceptual evaluation.
