Improving the charge separation and collection at the buffer/absorber interface by double-layered Mn-substituted CZTS by Lie, Stener, Sandi, Mario Indra, Tay, Ying Fan, Li, Wenjie, Tan, Joel Ming Rui, Bishop, Douglas M., Gunawan, Oki, Wong, Lydia Helena

“…Enhancement of short circuit current (Jsc) in Cu2Mn0.15Zn0.85SnS4 has led to improved efficiency in comparison with CZTS. Since external quantum efficiency (EQE) indicates the short wavelength collection as the main reason for the improved Jsc, we designed a double layered structure of CZTS as bottom layer and CM0.15Z0.85TS as top layer. …”

A multi-scale attributes attention model for transport mode identification by Jiang, Guiyuan, Lam, Siew-Kei, He, Peilan, Ou, Changhai, Ai, Dihao

“…The MSAA model relies on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to capture the spatial correlation of different trajectory segments, and utilizes attention mechanism to select the most suitable local attributes on the different trajectory scales that can effectively characterize the various transport modes. Since the learned latent local attributes are significantly different from the global features (e.g. average/min/max travel speeds which are measurable quantities), an ensemble model based on Neural Decision Forest (NDF) is employed to fuse the heterogeneous features consisting of both measurable quantities and non-measurable elements for determining the transport mode. …”
