Predicting drivers’ route trajectories in last-mile delivery using a pair-wise attention-based pointer neural network by Mo, Baichuan, Wang, Qingyi, Guo, Xiaotong, Winkenbach, Matthias, Zhao, Jinhua

“…Results from an extensive case study on real operational data from Amazon’s last-mile delivery operations in the US show that our proposed method can significantly outperform traditional optimization-based approaches and other machine learning methods (such as the Long Short-Term Memory encoder–decoder and the original pointer network) in finding stop sequences that are closer to high-quality routes executed by experienced drivers in the field. …”

Programs to Address Violence for Military Families: a Systematic Review by Dodge, J, Wortham, W, Kale, C, Williamson, V, Ross, A, Maher, S, Kononowech, J, Winters, J, Sullivan, K

“…Future research should explore how different treatment modalities (e.g., couples, individual, group, in-person, online) could affect long-term IPV treatment outcomes and should focus on how to best incorporate children, including documenting if there are children in the household, into IPV treatments/programs for military families.…”

Unveiling the chirality of the quantum anomalous Hall effect by Chen, Hongyu, Jin, Yuanjun, Mohammad Yahyavi, Belopolski, Ilya, Shao, Sen, Hou, Tao, Wang, Naizhou, Hsu, Chia-Hsiu, Zhao, Yilin, Yang, Bo, Ma, Qiong, Yin, Jia-Xin, Xu, Su-Yang, Gao, Weibo, Chang, Guoqing

“…The quantized lδz will also give rise to a unique quantized magnetic circular dichroism effect in the case of resonance absorption. By lδz, we find that the chiral flow-direction of an electron in the QAHE is not explicitly related to the intrinsic spin axis, thereby enabling the spin-momentum-unlocking edge states in an antiferromagnetic QAHE system. …”

Offset-16QAM-based coherent WDM with multi-carrier group detection by Xiang, Meng, Fu, Songnian, Tang, M., Shum, P., Liu, Deming

“…Moreover, 0.5 dB required OSNR penalty at BER=10-3 is obtained given 18 GHz ADC bandwidth. Besides, we find that side carriers suffer from severer performance degradation than the central carrier with limited ADC resolution and only 0.08 dB and 0.2 dB required OSNR penalty at BER=10-3 are secured with 6 bits ADC resolution for central carrier and side carriers, respectively.…”
