Design of intrusion detection systems for vehicular networks by Liang, Junwei

“…For the LL-IDS, the Growing Hierarchical Self-Organizing Map with probabilistic relabeling (GHSOM-pr) is employed as the classifier, which can adjust itself to adapt the changeable bc-DB. Security analysis shows that the proposed framework is secure, while simulation experiments prove that the LL-IDS can achieve superior performance with the self-improved and co-maintained bc-DB.…”

AI techniques in CFD: leveraging physical priors with deep learning to improve on numerical solvers by Loh, Jessica Sher En

“…It also introduces the use of Finite Volume Features (FVF) in graph convolutions as node and edge attributes, enabling its message-passing operations to adjust to different nodes. Additionally, it extends the use of residual training to improve flow field prediction for a GNN scenario with immersed object, when low resolution data is available. …”

Hybrid sensor fusion for unmanned ground vehicle by Guan, Mingyang

“…Meanwhile, we propose two different weight solvers to adaptively adjust the importance of each feature. Extensive experiments have been designed on several large datasets to validate that: 1) the proposed tracking framework is superior to enhance the robustness of tracking model, 2) the proposed two weight solvers can effectively find the optimal weight for each feature. …”

Understanding the private-public school performance gap in PISA: evidence from Portugal by Colaço, R, Freitas, P, Nunes, LC, Reis, AB

“…To account for those differences, we apply a post-stratification adjustment; however, sample sizes are small, resulting in estimates with low precision for several subgroups. …”

Hormone replacement therapy and cancer mortality in women with 17 site-specific cancers: a cohort study using linked medical records by Cardwell, CR, Ranger, TA, Labeit, AM, Coupland, CAC, Hicks, B, Hughes, C, McMenamin, Ú, Mei, XW, Murchie, P, Hippisley-Cox, J

“…In particular, no increase was observed in common cancers including lung (adjusted HR = 0.98 95% CI 0.90, 1.07), colorectal (adjusted HR = 0.79 95% CI 0.70, 0.90), and melanoma (adjusted HR = 0.77 95% CI 0.58, 1.02).…”

Stability analysis of delayed neural networks via compound-parameter-based integral inequality by Xue, Wenlong, Jin, Zhenghong, Tian, Yufeng

“…A novel approach, termed a compound-matrix-based integral inequality (CPBII), which accounts for delay derivatives using two adjustable parameters, is introduced. By appropriately adjusting these parameters, the CPBII efficiently incorporates coupling information along with delay derivatives within integral inequalities. …”

Optimization of Tension Distribution for Cable-Driven Manipulators Using Tension-Level Index by Lim, Wen Bin, Yeo, Song Huat, Yang, Guilin

“…In this paper, a tension optimization method is proposed to obtain adjustable tension solution for CDMs. Adjustable tension solution is important because it enables the avoidance of tension limits and allows the stiffness of the CDM to be regulated. …”

Optimal portfolio management. by Lim, Xue Jing., Ng, Jie Wen., Peh, Ying Jie.

“…This paper investigates the dual effect of stock selection and asset allocation method on optimizing equity portfolio performance, defined by risk-adjusted return. Portfolios are formed based on the four indicators, highest dividend yield, lowest price-earnings ratio, lowest price-to-book ratio and top loser stocks, and assets are then assigned weights using three different allocation approaches, equal-weight, value-weight and Markowitz optimization model that maximizes Sharpe ratio. …”
