Sustainable management of elasmobranchs in complex coastal fisheries by Gupta, T

“…I investigated the ecological sustainability of a small-scale blacktip shark fishery, combining data from multiple sources including knowledge from fishers, and found that harvest rates need to be reduced to at least half for sustainability. Finally, I used participatory methods to explore potential conservation strategies and found that voluntary live release measures may be promising for rhino rays, whereas for blacktip sharks a complete exit from the fishery, through a combination of community-based agreements and state enforcement, may be the only option. …”

Speeding up deep neural network training with decoupled and analytic learning by Zhuang, Huiping

“…The analytic learning of CPNet is made possible after the label information is projected into the hidden modules so that each 2-layer module can analytically solve the locally supervised learning using the least squares solutions. The other challenge is that, to implement the analytic learning, there is a possible issue of memory leak caused by matrix operations based on the entire dataset. …”
