P2P energy trading among isolated microgrids in the remote area by Huang, Rui

“…As for the power supply in remote areas, the traditional transmission method by using the central grid has the drawbacks of large transmission loss and long transmission lines, which are easy to be broken. At the same time, there are areas where electricity is not available because of costly transmission losses, for the transmission networks are not yet widespread. …”

Towards Synergistic Understanding of Language Processing in Biological and Artificial Systems by Hosseini Asl, Eghbal

“…Furthermore, the average degree of sentence straightening in the deep layers of the model correlates with corpus-based estimates of sentence surprisal, which are linked to human comprehension difficulty (e.g., as reflected in reading times). Collectively, these lines of work provide essential ingredients for building a more computationally precise model of language processing in the human brain, leveraging synergies with artificial neural network language models.…”
