Selecting correct methods to extract fuzzy rules from artificial neural network by Tan, Xiao, Zhou, Yuan, Ding, Zuohua, Liu, Yang

“…The results show that the first method cannot generate proper fuzzy rules on the three kinds of data sets, the second one can generate accurate rules on discrete data, while the third one can generate fuzzy rules for all data sets but cannot always guarantee the accuracy, especially for data sets with poor separability. …”

The history of Tamil women in Malaya and Singapore (1870s-1990s): a study of lower-caste Tamil women's representations and gender politics by Al-Mehraaj Binte Mohamed Rahim

“…It reveals how the introduction of ‘new patriarchy’ by Indian reformists as an answer to resolve the Women’s Question of the nineteenth century set the path for the ways lower-caste women’s identities were to be constructed for most of the colonial period, implicating them in various kinds of gender politics that predicated sexuality and domesticity as preliminary sites of struggle. …”

Our model achieves excellent performance on movielens: what does it mean? by Fan, Yu-Chen, Ji, Yitong, Zhang, Jie, Sun, Aixin

“…However, models that achieve excellent recommendation accuracy on the MovieLens dataset may not demonstrate superior performance in practice, for at least two kinds of differences: (1) the differences in the contexts of user-item interaction generation, and (2) the differences in user knowledge about the item collections. …”

Research on lithium ion battery applications in vehicles by Huang, Ke

“…Much attention has been paid on batteries recent years because of their wide application in portable electronic devices as well as vehicles, ships and aircrafts. Among all kinds of batteries, lithium-ion battery (LIB) plays an essential role in marketplace due to their high capacity, high efficiency, long life and low self-discharge rate，which make LIB become the perfect power supply of the electric vehicle. …”

Ohmic contact formation to β-Ga2O3 nanosheet transistors with Ar-containing plasma treatment by Chen, Jinxin, Liu, Bingyan, Gu, Yang, Li, Bin

“…Given the thermal budget concern, a feasible and moderate solution (i.e., Ar-containing plasma treatment) is proposed to achieve effective Ohmic junctions with (100) β-Ga2O3 nanosheets. The impact of four kinds of plasma treatments (i.e., gas mixtures SF6/Ar, SF6/O2/Ar, SF6/O2, and Ar) on (100) β-Ga2O3 crystals is comparatively studied by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy for the first time. …”

Essays on attention and creative thought by Wang, Jocelyn Yuxing

“…The goal of my dissertation is to provide a theory of these non-rigid forms of thought by understanding some of the cognitive mechanisms that underlie them, as well as to understand how these underlying mechanisms contribute to our epistemic lives more generally in all kinds of reasoning. Chapter 1 (based on co-authored work with Azenet Lopez) begins with a puzzle that arises from research on mind wandering: since during mind wandering we plausibly prioritize the information relevant to the concurrent tasks less, why does mind wandering sometimes improve rather than impair concurrent task performance? …”
