Efficient additive kernels via explicit feature maps by Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A

“…In particular, we: 1) provide explicit feature maps for all additive homogeneous kernels along with closed form expression for all common kernels; 2) derive corresponding approximate finite-dimensional feature maps based on a spectral analysis; and 3) quantify the error of the approximation, showing that the error is independent of the data dimension and decays exponentially fast with the approximation order for selected kernels such as χ2. …”

Winning Models for Grade Point Average, Grit, and Layoff in the Fragile Families Challenge by Rigobon, Daniel E., Jahani, Eaman, Suhara, Yoshihiko, AlGhoneim, Khaled, Alghunaim, Abdulaziz, Pentland, Alex, Almaatouq, Abdullah

“…The authors’ modular and collaborative approach parallelized prediction tasks and relied primarily on existing data science techniques, including (1) data preprocessing: elimination of low variance features, imputation of missing data, and construction of composite features; (2) feature selection through univariate mutual information and extraction of nonzero least absolute shrinkage and selection operator coefficients; (3) three machine learning models: random forest, elastic net, and gradient-boosted trees; and finally (4) prediction aggregation according to performance. …”

Improving Attention Using Wearables via Haptic and Multimodal Rhythmic Stimuli by Whitmore, Nathan W, Chan, Samantha, Zhang, Jingru, Chwalek, Patrick, Chin, Sam, Maes, Pattie

“…We found that combined sound and light stimuli from a glasses device provided the strongest improvement to attention but were the least usable and socially acceptable. Haptic vibration stimuli from a wristband also improved attention and were the most usable and socially acceptable. …”

Quantification of capsaicinoids in chillies by solid-phase extraction coupled with voltammetry by Chan, Kwok Kiong, Muhammad Shafique Bin Hamid, Webster, Richard David

“…Linear calibration curves for voltammetry measurements were obtained from low ppm up to at least 1400 ppm of capsaicinoids, with concentrations being detected in the different source extracts (paprika, tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, and fresh chillies) from approximately 17 to 430 ppm, which corresponded to values of between approximately 130 and 4000 ppm, respectively, present in the original samples.…”
