Alternative credit scoring for the un(der)banked by Elrakabawy, S

“…I show that machine-learning yields substantial above chance probabilities in estimating credit risk, and I also manage to reduce the feature set dimensionality (i.e. credit request steps) by 96 percent at near-identical prediction performance, which translates to a quasi-single-question credit request. A major finding of my research constitutes a revelation of the relationship between homophily and credit risk, with loan applicants exhibiting similar credit risk profiles tending to be socially similar; a finding which I put to use by defining and testing various graph-theoretical structural social similarity metrics for their applicability to predict credit risk. …”

Tracking people by learning their appearance by Ramanan, D, Forsyth, DA, Zisserman, A

“…This problem is difficult because one needs to determine both the number of people in each frame and estimate their configurations. But, finding people and localizing their limbs is hard because people can move fast and unpredictably, can appear in a variety of poses and clothes, and are often surrounded by limb-like clutter. …”

Bio-based lubricant with additives: Tribological performances in hydrodynamic journal bearing by Norazman, Amanda, Paiman, Zulhanafi, Samion, Syahrullail, Afiq, Muhammad Noor, Muhammad Yazid, Witri, Rasep, Zuraidah

“…Meanwhile, their performance in JB applications was evaluated through the use of a JB test rig with a 0.5 length-to-diameter ratio at various operating conditions. Findings: It was found that the combination of PMO + TBHQ + EVA demonstrated a superior oil film pressure and load-carrying capacity, resulting in a reduced friction coefficient and a smaller attitude angle compared to the use of only PMO or VG68. …”
