Financial forecasting using meta-cognitive fuzzy neural networks by Singh Akhand Pratap

“…Some potential ways to address the above issues could be usage of synthetic data through time-series models to train the model till the test date; usage of manual inferences drawn from the indicators to make judgements about the present day; usage of multiple machine learning models and combining the results from all; usage of dynamic feature selection mechanism to make improvements to the prediction; and usage of dynamic thresholds that are dependent on the market conditions. …”

Lane-aware image enhancement for lane detection in rain (part B - communications) by Tian, Zichen

“…Besides, it is worthy to refine the selection of the initialization function. 2) A loss function measuring the offset of Vanishing Point and ground truth can be constructed; 3) Re-scale the network from low-definition to high resolution for pixel-to-pixel classification. All the diagrams are drawn in vector graph format, so readers can zoom in to check the details.…”

Pseudo-randomness in cryptography by Bansal Arushi

“…In addition, the paper defines the criteria for a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) and outlines the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) randomness test suite, which offers a framework for evaluating the randomness quality of RNG outputs. The conclusions drawn from this research underscore the indispensable requirement of high-quality randomness in protecting cryptographic infrastructures from advanced threats, calling for continuous advancements and evaluations in PRNG technologies.…”
