An adaptive decision making method with copula Bayesian network for location selection by Pan, Yue, Zhang, Limao, Koh, Jiale, Deng, Yong

“…Finally, the correlation analysis and CBN inference are performed to evaluate and identify the ideal location in a data-driven manner. Furthermore, results from the proposed CBN-based approach are compared against the traditional Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to illustrate its advantages in representing dependency, modeling uncertainty, fusing information, and reducing subjectivity.…”

On the existence of balanced metrics on six-manifolds of cohomogeneity one by Alonso, I, Salvatore, F

“…Such structures are of interest for both Hermitian geometry and string theory, since they provide the ideal setting for the Hull–Strominger system. In this paper, we provide a non-existence result for balanced non-Kähler SU(3)-structures which are invariant under a cohomogeneity one action on simply connected six-manifolds.…”

Smart building with intelligent indoor lighting control system using reinforcement learning simulations by Chan, Keno Jia Nuo

“…The control agents will be trained by Q-learning, which is a model-free reinforcement learning algorithm, and simulated with three different lighting preference profiles from three different occupants. To obtain the ideal learning parameter of the proposed control system, different learning parameters, such as ε – greedy value, max steps per episode, learning rate α, and discount rate γ, will be used to test the ideal learning conditions for this study. …”
