Measuring dynamical uncertainty with Revealed Dynamics Markov Models by Bramson, Aaron, Baland, Adrien, Iriki, Atsushi

“…While previous measures capture local noise or the regularity of short patterns, our measures track holistic features of time series dynamics that also satisfy criteria as being approximate measures of information generation (Kolmogorov entropy). …”

Towards indicating human skin state in vivo using geometry-dependent spectroscopic contrast imaging by Ni, Guangming, Ge, Xin, Liu, Lin, Zhang, Jing, Wang, Xiangzhou, Liu, Juanxiu, Liu, Linbo, Liu, Yong

“…We previously reported on geometry-dependent spectroscopic contrast achieved by spectroscopic micro-optical coherence tomography (SμOCT), which discovered that transversely oriented and regularly arranged nano-cylinders selectively backscatter the long-wavelength lights and generate spectral centroid (SC) shifts towards the long wavelengths within a spectral window of 700 - 950 nm. …”

Investigation of field-modulation effect of consequent-pole vernier motor for electric vehicles by Yan, Zihao

“…An analytical model is applied to investigate and reveal the field modulation effect (FME) of consequent-pole permanent magnet vernier machine (CP-PMVM). A regular surface-mounted permanent magnet vernier machine (SPMVM) model is also built as a comparison and the detailed parameters of both models were established utilizing vernier machine design methodology. …”

OOD detection for 1D LiDAR scans by Mishra, Pradyumn

“…This paper focuses on enhancing OOD detection in the context of LiDAR-based autonomous vehicle navigation, using VAEs and β-VAEs, the latter designed to encourage disentanglement in the latent space by adjusting a regularization parameter, β. Additionally, this study evaluates the models on varied track environments using the F1tenth framework, to measure of these OOD detection architectures across varied environments.…”

Dynamical analysis of physiologic signals by Noraznita Ramli.

“…ApEn is a measurement designed to quantify the degree of regularity versus unpredictability in a given dataset. [5] DFA is a fractal-related method that provides for estimation of scaling exponents.
