Broad Learning System with Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Subsystem for Tobacco Origin Identification based on Near Infrared Spectroscopy [PDF]
, 2022 Tobacco origin identification is significantly important in tobacco industry. Modeling analysis for sensor data with near infrared spectroscopy has become a popular method for rapid detection of internal features. However, for sensor data analysis using traditional artificial neural network or deep network models, the training process is extremely time-

Measuring anomalies in cigarette sales by using official data from Spanish provinces: Are there only the anomalies detected by the Empty Pack Surveys (EPS) used by Transnational Tobacco Companies (TTCs)? [PDF]
Cadahia, P., Golpe, A., Mart\'in-\'Alvarez, J. M., Asensio, E.
(2021). Tobacco Induced Diseases, 19(December), 98, 2022 There is literature that questions the veracity of the studies commissioned by the transnational tobacco companies (TTC) to measure the illicit tobacco trade. Furthermore, there are studies that indicate that the Empty Pack Surveys (EPS) ordered by the TTCs are oversized.
