Customer churn prediction in the telecommunications sector represents a critical business intelligence task that has evolved from subjective human assessment to sophisticated algorithmic approaches. In this work, we present a comprehensive framework for telecommunications churn prediction leveraging deep neural networks. Through systematic problem formulation, rigorous dataset analysis, and careful feature engineering, we develop a model that captures complex patterns in customer behavior indicative of potential churn. We conduct extensive empirical evaluations across multiple performance metrics, demonstrating that our proposed neural architecture achieves significant improvements over existing baseline methods. Our approach not only advances the state-of-the-art in churn prediction accuracy but also provides interpretable insights into the key factors driving customer attrition in telecommunications services.

Rice is a staple food for a significant portion of the world's population, providing essential nutrients and serving as a versatile in-gredient in a wide range of culinary traditions. Recently, the use of deep learning has enabled automated classification of rice, im-proving accuracy and efficiency. However, classical models based on first-stage training may face difficulties in distinguishing between rice varieties with similar external characteristics, thus leading to misclassifications. Considering the transparency and feasibility of model, we selected and gradually improved pure fully connected neural network to achieve classification of rice grain. The dataset we used contains both global and domestic rice images obtained from websites and laboratories respectively. First, the training mode was changed from one-stage training to two-stage training, which significantly contributes to distinguishing two similar types of rice. Secondly, the preprocessing method was changed from random tilting to horizontal or vertical position cor-rection. After those two enhancements, the accuracy of our model increased notably from 97% to 99%. In summary, two subtle methods proposed in this study can remarkably enhance the classification ability of deep learning models in terms of the classification of rice grain.
