Comparison of Machine Learning-Based Methods for Narrowband Blind Adaptive Beamforming by Shonkwiler, Lara

“…Traditional blind source separation methods such as CMA, SOBI, JADE, and FastICA tend to be highly effective at beamforming datasets with moderate to large sample supports, but they do not perform well when they only have access to a limited number of data samples. They also bear the disadvantage that the appropriate algorithm must be selected based on the properties of the expected signal. …”

Behave The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst / by Sapolsky, Robert M., author 656050, Penguin Random House (Online service) 655978

“…Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: he starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy. …”

Safety assessment of autonomous vehicles using simulations by Ketki, Chaudhary

“…Since the past few decades, researchers from both automotive and technology industries have focussed their attention on developing vehicles that could drive themselves, so that travel would be less challenging, free from human driver errors and the roads safer for everyone. Self-driving cars are envisioned as robots capable of precise driving, never getting distracted, abiding to all the traffic rules and being able to compute the probability of an imminent collision well in advance. …”
