Induced transtensional earthquakes after the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in the compressional collision belt of western Taiwan by Lee, Timothy Ting-Yu, Chan, Chung-Han, Shyu, J. Bruce H., Wu, Yih-Min, Huang, Hsin-Hua

“…We used relocated seismicity and earthquake focal mechanisms to show that this sequence is likely occurred along a subsurface fault that strikes N10°W and dips 80° to the east, at depths greater than 5 km. A Coulomb stress change analysis also shows that this aftershock sequence were located in the area of stress increase due to the Chi-Chi earthquake. …”

Structured sparse representations for supervised and unsupervised learning by Zeng, Yijie

“…Therefore, building a scalable data representation has become a critical part of the ML processing pipeline, where there has been a huge amount of work addressing on this topic in the past. This thesis focuses on a specific data representation technique named sparse coding (SC) which has been found effective for natural signals such as images. …”
