Robust cooperative control and optimization of multi-agent systems by Sun, Chao

“…Specifically, we study the controllability of a class of antagonistic networks with not only positive weights but also negative ones. This kind of network model has a wide range of applications in social network science. …”

语言的消亡 ：以新加坡潮州话为个案 : 兼论基本词汇的有阶分布 = Language decline : a case study on Singapore Teochew dialect and a study of the rank theory in basic word list... by 何佩芩 Ho, Pei Qin

“…The list consists of 2 ranks of lexical items, with the higher rank of words being more cognate than the lower rank ones. It is hypothesized that the lexical items in the lower rank is more susceptible to borrowing in a case of language contact.…”

教会华校的特色与地位 ：以新加坡公教中学为案例 = Missionary Chinese-medium school : its traits and position with Catholic high school, Singapore as case study by 卓汶德 Toh, Boon Teck

“…Scholars over the years have touched on the overview of Chinese-medium schools created by the Christian churches, but they tend to group these schools with the “traditional” ones that are not supported by the churches. Though created and supported during the pre-independence days in Singapore and Malaysia by non-governmental organisations, there are distinct differences between these so-called “missionary Chinese-medium schools”, such as Catholic High School, and the “traditional” Chinese-medium schools in terms of school management and teaching. …”

Towards formal verification of Bayesian inference in probabilistic programming via guaranteed bounds by Zaiser, F

“…</p> <p>Probabilistic programming systems allow practitioners to reuse general-purpose inference algorithms, rather than manually deriving new ones for each model. These automated inference methods fall into two categories: exact and approximate. …”

Feature extraction from EEG signals and regularization for brain-computer interface by Mishuhina, Vasilisa

“…Therefore, in this thesis, we extend the existing approaches and propose new ones to improve classification. Firstly, a novel feature weighting and regularization (FWR) method that utilizes all CSP features to avoid information loss is proposed. …”

Electrical bio-sensing based on non-antibody recognition elements by Chen, Hu

“…The main hypothesis is that assays based on synthetic receptors can deliver sensing performances comparable to that of conventional antibody based ones, while providing advantages such as excellent stability in harsh environments, facile synthesis process, and small molecular sizes. …”

Relationship between synoptic scale meteorology, aircraft parameters, and observable contrails by Barbosa, Maria Paula

“…We define two-dimensional (2D) algorithms as those that use only distance and heading difference measures and the ones that additionally include altitude as three-dimensional (3D) algorithms. …”

Content-based image retrieval with statistical machine learning. by Zhang, Lining.

“…To select the most informative samples for the user to label, a geometric optimum experimental design (GOED) method is proposed to select multiple representative samples in the database as the most informative ones. GOED can alleviate the small-sized training data problem by leveraging the geometric structure of unlabeled samples in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), and thus can further enhance the performance of image retrieval. …”

Sampling-based approaches for image and video matting by Ehsan Shahrian Varnousfaderani

“…The color statistics are leveraged to correlate neighboring pixels and propagate alpha from known regions toward unknown ones in $\alpha$-propagation based methods. In color sampling based methods, the color samples are used to estimate alpha values by finding the foreground ($F$) and background ($B$) samples that represent the true colors of unknown pixels. …”
