The ride sharing routing problem : an optimization algorithm by Lawrence, Lucas

“…The objective of the problem is to assign each drivers to fetch two passengers given the locations of drivers, passengers' pick-up points and their destinations. We then designed an algorithm and observed that it produces smaller costs solution in most of the randomly generated data with time complexity $O(n^2\log n)$ for real valued weighted graph and $O(n^2)$ for integer valued weighted graph improved from the previous $O(n^3)$.…”

The battle for Asia in crude oil markets: an easier road ahead for India? by Sen, A

“…Even though the drop in prices is unlikely to last (given the high cost on the supply side) and prices are likely to pick back up to at least the US$80–100 per barrel range in the coming years, India will remain in a privileged position compared to a few years ago, as the continued growth of US tight oil means producers from all around the world will still focus on Asia to sell their crude. …”

Language-guided visual retrieval by He, Su

“…To organize the discrete features, we propose a network called Hybrid Graph Network to capture both the spatial and locally temporal relationships between objects in the frames and also apply semantically matching between objects and words. To model the long-span relationships between activities in the two modalities, we implement a temporal encoder based on the attentive model. …”
