Optimized GPU algorithms for sparse data problems by Pham, Nguyen Quang Anh

“…Many important problems in science and engineering today deal with sparse data. Examples of sparse data include sparse matrices, where the number of nonzero values is much smaller than the total number possible and where nonzeros are located in scattered instead of regular positions, and graphs in which the average degree is low and the edge set has an irregular structure. …”

Resilient power systems operation with offshore wind farms and cloud data centers by Liu, Shengwei, Li, Yuanzheng, Liu, Xuan, Zhao, Tianyang, Wang, Peng

“…Based on Lagrange duality, this problem is reformulated into its deterministic counterpart and solved by a novel decomposition method with hybrid cuts, admitting fewer iterations and a faster convergence rate. The effectiveness of the proposed resilient management strategy is verified through case studies conducted on the modified IEEE-RTS 24 system, which includes 4 data centers and 5 offshore wind farms.…”

From public health to AI safety: improving machine learning approaches by collecting, selecting, or reducing the need for high-quality data by Brauner, J

“…This is common in modern ML, as deep learning models require vast amounts of data, often scraped from the internet. We develop a method to automatically select the most useful data at any given point in training, enabling us to train neural networks in fewer steps, to higher accuracy, and with lower computational costs.…”

Development of a web-based ground station system for an advanced nano-satellite (VELOX-I) by Goh, Wei Rong.

“…The replacement or migration of software-based applications to Web-based applications is a growing trend as it allows higher cross platform compatibility, ease of data consolidation and system management, efficient system updates and maintenance, and fewer requirements at end users. …”

X-Ray Computed Tomography Study of the Microstructure of Superconducting MgB 2 Bulks by Wang, Y, Grovenor, C, Speller, S, Shollock, B, Mousavi, T

“…A comparison has been made between the data extracted from conventional characterization techniques such as XRD and SEM and those obtained from the advanced XCT analysis.…”

Tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy versus non‐surgical treatment for chronic/recurrent acute tonsillitis by Burton, MJ, Glasziou, PP, Chong, LY, Venekamp, RP

“…<br> When we pooled the data from two studies in adults (156 participants), there were 3.6 fewer episodes (95% CI 7.9 fewer to 0.70 more; low quality evidence) in the group receiving surgery within six months post‐surgery. …”

Active learning for optimal intervention design in causal models by Zhang, Jiaqi, Cammarata, Louis, Squires, Chandler, Sapsis, Themistoklis P., Uhler, Caroline

“…We apply our approach to both synthetic data and single-cell transcriptomic data from Perturb–CITE-sequencing experiments to identify optimal perturbations that induce a specific cell-state transition. …”

Stock prediction using support vector regression by Manasa, Abburu.

“…Support Vector Machine for Regression (SVM-R) has been proven to be more advantageous than BP when it comes to handling financial data. It needs fewer parameters to learn and has the potential to handle noise, randomness and chaos as will be discussed in this paper. …”

Imagining post-fossil tourism mobilities with Norwegian tourists by Hopkins, D, Landa-Mata, I, Kr Steen Jacobsen, J, Farstad, E, Higham, J

“…Sustainable mobility has become a catch-all term to describe forms, modes, policies and practices of mobility that are thought to have a lower environmental footprint and/or fewer social exclusions than the contemporary mobility system which is reliant on fossil fuels and private ownership. …”

Sustaining antimicrobial stewardship in a high-antibiotic resistance setting by Ng, Tat Ming, Heng, Shi Thong, Chua, Boon Hou, Ang, Li Wei, Tan, Sock Hoon, Tay, Hui Lin, Yap, Min Yi, Quek, Jason, Teng, Christine B., Young, Barnaby Edward, Lin, Ray, Ang, Brenda, Lee, Tau Hong, Lye, David C.

“…Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study used an interrupted time series with segmented regression analysis of data from January 2007 to December 2018. Data were extracted from the electronic medical records of patients admitted at a large university teaching hospital with high rates of antibiotic resistance in Singapore. …”

Seventy Years of Marriage and Family Law in China: Achievements, Challenges and Prospects by Guo, Q

“…Despite the achievements made, great challenges remain since the 21st century, especially the difficulties in family formation and maintenance; population aging with fewer children; application of assisted reproductive technology; and prevalence of divorce, remarriage, and cohabitation. …”

Inferring structural variant cancer cell fraction by Cmero, M, Yuan, K, Ong, CS, Schröder, J, PCAWG Evolution and Heterogeneity Working Group, Corcoran, NM, Papenfuss, T, Hovens, CM, Markowetz, F, Macintyre, G, PCAWG Consortium

“…We find that SVclone's performance is comparable to single-nucleotide variant-based methods, despite having an order of magnitude fewer data points. As part of the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) consortium, which aggregated whole-genome sequencing data from 2658 cancers across 38 tumour types, we use SVclone to reveal a subset of liver, ovarian and pancreatic cancers with subclonally enriched copy-number neutral rearrangements that show decreased overall survival. …”

Growth of myxococcus xanthus in continuous-flow-cell bioreactors as a method for studying development by Smaldone, Gregory T., Jin, Yujie, Whitfield, Damion L., Mu, Andrew Y., Wong, Edward C., Wuertz, Stefan, Singer, Mitchell

“…By establishing an M. xanthus community within a flow cell, we are able to test developmental responses to changes in the environment with fewer concerns for effects due to nutrient depletion or bacterial waste production. …”

Evaporation and crystallisation of saline droplet with surfactant on smooth surfaces by Wong, Dennis Kin Wai

“…While numerous studies have investigated the impact of surfactants on liquid droplets, very little research has been conducted on surfactants with opposing charges mixed with salt solutions. This project aims to examine the evaporative dynamics and crystallisation patterns of surfactant saline solutions. …”
