Lasso environment model combination for robust speech recognition by Xiao, Xiong, Li, Jinyu, Chng, Eng Siong, Li, Haizhou

“…Usually, the combination weights are estimated using a maximum likelihood (ML) criterion and the weights are nonzero for all the mean supervectors. We propose to estimate the weights by using Lasso (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) which imposes an L1 regularization term in the weight estimation problem to shrink some weights to exactly zero. …”

Using QALYs as an outcome for assessing global prediction accuracy in diabetes simulation models by Dakin, H, Gao, N, Leal, J, Holman, RR, Tran-Duy, A, Clarke, P

“…QALYs relate directly to decision-making and combine mortality and diverse clinical events into a single measure using evidence-based weights that reflect population preferences. (2) To explore the usefulness of Q2 (Q-squared), the proportional reduction in error, as a model performance metric and compare it with other metrics: MSE; mean absolute error; bias (mean residual); and R2.…”

The imagination of eco-disaster : post-disaster rebuilding in Asian cinema by Chu, Kiu-Wai

“…By focusing on a range of eco-disaster films, this article highlights the importance of cultural sensitivity in the study of eco-disaster films, by exploring several questions: how are eco-disasters culturally shaped and defined, via cinematic means? How are human responses to disasters, as reflected in cinematic representations, shaped by specific sociopolitical, cultural or economic conditions? …”
