Adversarial robustness of deep reinforcement learning by Qu, Xinghua

“…Motivated by this finding, we propose a new policy distillation loss with two terms: 1) a prescription gap maximization loss aiming at simultaneously maximizing the likelihood of the action selected by the teacher policy and the entropy over the remaining actions; 2) a corresponding Jacobian regularization loss that minimizes the magnitude of gradient with respect to the input state. …”

Accelerated discovery of new catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction by Mahmoud G. Ahmed

“…The third metal ion is carefully selected based on its electronic configuration to see whether the electronic configuration of ternary oxide can be regulated for enhanced OER performance. For ternary composition space of Fe-Co-Cu oxides, the composition-catalytic activity relationship is well established and the optimum composition with high OER activity is identified. …”

Reduced semiconductor energy conversion systems. by Zhang, Lei.

“…Some example applications of power converters are Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) for supporting critical loads during voltage outages, Universal Power Quality Conditioners (UPQCs) for power quality enhancement, renewable energy interfacing converters for green energy delivery and Dynamic Voltage Restorers (DVRs) for regulating load voltages. Presently, most applications use a few types of proven traditional converter topologies. …”
