An appraisal of existing seismic vulnerability assessment methodologies by Kathotia, Vaibhav

“…Due to the large amount of variables involved (such as Damage Measure (DM), Seismic Fragility Function Methods, the actual building structure design and design of materials used and the physical environment of the building area under consideration, among other variables) during the development of a research study/paper, it can be very hard at times to get similar data points and even then, external physical factors of the model, can cause large differences to occur between results of two similar studies. …”

Universal machine learning classifier using extreme learning machines by Chen, Jinnan

“…By using different scales of datasets, we could see the better performance of the proposed classifier and compared with the results of other popular algorithms, so the advantage of the ELM-based universal classifier could be demonstrated. In order to get a universal classifier, we proposed a method to identify the classification type in advance through detecting the feature of the training samples and ensemble the algorithms together to make it a more robust universal classifier which could handle more sophisticated datasets. …”
