Transfer-recursive-ensemble learning for multi-day COVID-19 prediction in India using recurrent neural networks by Chakraborty, Debasrita, Goswami, Debayan, Ghosh, Susmita, Ghosh, Ashish, Chan, Jonathan H., Wang, Lipo

“…A study is conducted by building four models pre-trained on COVID-19 data from four different countries (United States of America, Brazil, Spain, and Bangladesh) and fine-tuned on India's data. Since the four countries chosen have experienced different types of infection curves, the pre-training provides a transfer learning to the models incorporating diverse situations into account. …”

Small-island interactions: pottery from Roman Malta by Anastasi, M

“…In the first instance, a detailed study of three complete and new ceramic assemblages, including amphorae, fine, cooking and coarse wares, was undertaken. The opportunity to quantify identifiable imports and compare them with local products—the first of its kind for fine, cooking and coarse wares—provided valuable proxy data for comparing Malta with neighbouring islands and centres, and demonstrated what proportion of ceramic vessels were locally supplied, and how these changed over time. …”
