A training algorithm and stability analysis for recurrent neural networks by Xu, Zhao, Song, Qing, Wang, Danwei, Fan, Haijin

“…Besides, the transient response of learning process of RNNs is a critical issue, especially for on-line applications. Conventional RNNs training algorithms such as the backpropagation through time (BPTT) and real-time recurrent learning (RTRL) have not adequately satisfied these requirements because they often suffer from slow convergence speed. …”

Effects of Sub1 and qDTY on the agro-morpho-physiological traits of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under reproductive stage drought stress by Shakirah Mohammad Nahar, Nur Sakinah Mohd Yusri, Asmuni Mohd Ikmal, Noraziyah Abd Aziz Shamsudin, Siti Nurfaeiza Abd Razak, Pui, Maggie San Sudo, Song, Beng-Kah, Bey, Hing Goh, Long, Chiau Ming

“…Breeding and screening of drought tolerant varieties are crucial to ensure the continuity of food supply. Two breeding lines, UKM-112 and UKM-114 with QTL(s) for submergence tolerance (Submergence 1 [Sub1]) and yield under drought stress (qDTY) and together with their recurrent parental line, UKM-5, and a drought-sensitive cultivar, MR219 were screened for their agro-morpho-physiological responses under reproductive stage drought stress (RS) and non-stress (NS) to determine how the Sub1 interacts with qDTY in enhancing drought tolerance. …”
