When is it acceptable to break the rules? Knowledge representation of moral judgements based on empirical data by Awad, Edmond, Levine, Sydney, Loreggia, Andrea, Mattei, Nicholas, Rahwan, Iyad, Rossi, Francesca, Talamadupula, Kartik, Tenenbaum, Joshua, Kleiman-Weiner, Max

“…We then detail the design, implementation, and results of a study of human participants who judge whether it is acceptable to break a well-established rule: <jats:italic>no cutting in line</jats:italic>. We then develop an instance of our model and compare its performance to that of standard machine learning approaches on the task of predicting the behavior of human participants in the study, showing that our preference-based approach more accurately captures the judgments of human decision-makers. …”

Distributed local linear parameter estimation using gaussian SPAWN by Leng, Mei, Tay, Wee Peng, Quek, Tony Q. S., Shin, Hyundong

“…We show that gSPAWN converges in mean and has mean-square stability under some technical sufficient conditions, and we describe an application of gSPAWN to a network localization problem in non-line-of-sight environments. Numerical results suggest that gSPAWN converges much faster in general than the diffusion method, and has lower communication costs per sensor, with comparable root-mean-square errors.…”

A multi-path compensation method for ranging in wearable ultrasonic sensor networks for human gait analysis by Ashhar, Karalikkadan, Mohammad Omar Khyam, Soh, Cheong Boon

“…The multi-path components closer to the line of sight component cannot be identified during correlation reception which leads to errors in the estimated range and which in turn affects the localization and tracking performance. …”

Multiobjective joint economic dispatching of a microgrid with multiple distributed generation by Hou, Hui, Xue, Mengya, Xu, Yan, Tang, Jinrui, Zhu, Guorong, Liu, Peng, Xu, Tao

“…The objective functions considered are to minimize each dispatching unit’s comprehensive operating cost (COC), reduce the power fluctuation between the MG and the main grid connect line, and decrease the remaining net load of the MG after dispatch by way of energy storage (ES) and clean energy. …”

Multimodal radar with wide band communication system by Danial Ritzuan Junaidi

“…Such applications could vary from map imaging, moving target detection to doppler radar and they may also differ in their electromagnetic wave propagation from Line-of-Sight (LOS) to Non-LOS [1]. With that in mind, this project involves working with two distinct radar systems, namely a Drone-Based (LOS), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Imaging System and a Wall Penetration (Non-LOS), Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) Moving Target Detection Radar System. …”
