Complexity analysis of accelerated MCMC methods for Bayesian inversion by Hoang, Viet Ha., Schwab, Christoph., Stuart, Andrew M.

“…In particular, we provide sufficient conditions on the regularity of the unknown coefficients of the PDE and on the approximation methods used, in order for the accelerations of MCMC resulting from these strategies to lead to complexity reductions over ‘plain’ MCMC algorithms for the Bayesian inversion of PDEs.…”

Differentially private deep learning for time series data by Dwitami, Inggriany

“…Furthermore, the added noise in DP-SGD can also act as regularizer to prevent overfitting. This paper recommends that future work must be done to further generalize the result of this experiments. …”

Determination of soil-water characteristics curves of sands using the evaporation method by On, Roger Zhi Wei

“…However, the experiment is time-consuming as regular measurements are required to track the changes in sands’ water content and suction over time. …”

Outlier detection by Li, Shukai

“…This criterion can be easily incorporated into our proposed model by introducing an additional regularization term. The efforts culminate to two novel outlier detection models named Maximum Margin Outlier Detection (MMOD) and Maximum Volume Outlier Detection (MVOD) respectively.…”

Upgrade of the NTU virtual judge software application by Ang, Siu Min

“…As this is a real-time web application that will be used continually even after the project submission, it is recommended that the server be maintained regularly for any further additional features to be developed to help the ICPC mentors and members.…”

Evaluation and fabrication of damaged composite material using non-destructive testing by Lai, Abigail Jang Wai

“…Since composites are extensively employed in many areas, it is important to determine the existence of surface and sub-surface defects before production and during regular maintenance checks. As time goes on, wear and tear occur to a material. …”

Reform of the international financial architecture : how can Asia have a greater impact in the G20? by Rana, Pradumna B.

“…The paper makes the case for Asian countries (i) lobbying for the formalisation and regularisation of ASEAN Chair’s and ASEAN Secretary-General’s participation in the G20 Summits, (ii) holding policy dialogue meetings of an “expanded” ASEAN+3 (regular 13 members plus India, Australia and New Zealand) just prior to the G20 Summits for coordinating policies and developing common positions to support the ASEAN representatives at the G20 Summits and (iii) supporting and joining the informal Global Governance Group (3G) convened by Singapore under the auspices of the United Nations (UN) to coordinate Asian perspectives with developing countries in other regions of the world. …”

Efficacy and safety of rapid-acting insulin analogs in special populations with Type 1 Diabetes or Gestational Diabetes: systematic review and meta-analysis by Nørgaard, Kirsten, Sukumar, Nithya, Rafnsson, Snorri Bjorn, Saravanan, Ponnusamy

“…Results: In people on CSII, rapid-acting insulin analogs lowered postprandial plasma glucose post-breakfast to a greater extent than did regular human insulin (RHI) (mean difference: − 1.63 mmol/L [95% confidence interval − 1.71; − 1.54]), with a comparable risk of hypoglycemia and a trend for lower glycated hemoglobin. …”

Better floors, better health: a theory of change for an improved household flooring intervention in rural communities in Kwale and Bungoma counties, Kenya by Kepha, S, Legge, H, Halliday, KE, Ochwal, V, Elson, L, Mwongeli, J, Oswald, WE, Kakoi, B, Wambua, J, Mwandawiro, C, Fillinger, U, Pullan, R, Njomo, D

“…Reductions in infections are predicated on limited contact between improved floors and animals, regular floor cleaning, and household members conducting their daily routines on the new floors. …”

Mathematical models of liquid crystals and related materials by Taylor, J

On the weak convergence of stochastic integrals on Skorokhod space: From general theory to applications within the realm of continuous-time random walks by Wunderlich, F

“…In addition, we study tightness results for stochastic integrals more broadly, under reduced regularity, and, in this regard, provide an extension to the M1 case for this very type of results existing within the J1 theory.…”

The competing use of perfect and aorist tenses in Old Church Slavonic by MacRobert, C

“…It has sometimes been suggested that in the second and third persons singular, which coincide formally in the aorist tense, variation between aorist and perfect forms may to some extent be correlated with explicitly marked distinctions of person in Greek, and may therefore be a side effect of translation; but such correlations are not regular, and the frequency of second person singular perfect forms is higher in some types of text than in others. …”
