Search for a light charged Higgs boson in $$t \rightarrow H^{\pm } b$$ t → H ± b decays, with $$H^{\pm } \rightarrow cs$$ H ± → c s , in $$pp$$ pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s}={13}\hbo... by ATLAS Collaboration

“…This search targets the production of top-quark pairs $$t\bar{t} \rightarrow Wb H^{\pm } b$$ t t ¯ → W b H ± b , with $$W \rightarrow \ell \nu $$ W → ℓ ν ( $$\ell = e, \mu $$ ℓ = e , μ ), resulting in a lepton-plus-jets final state characterised by an isolated electron or muon and at least four jets. The search exploits b-quark and c-quark identification techniques as well as multivariate methods to suppress the dominant $$t\bar{t}$$ t t ¯ background. …”

Review on Deep Learning and Neural Network Implementation for Emotions Recognition by Renas Rajab Asaad

“…      Recently, we humans integrate into the world of our smart phones and our portable electronic devices to the point that that world can numb us in one way or another and separate us from the real world, so that we and the generations that come after us are fully adapted to dealing with huge amounts of digital information, so they are ready to be absorbed faster And ready to deal with it more efficiently than previous generations, but during this process of rapid adaptation and adapting to the digital age gradually begins to lose one thing, this thing is what the machine has not given it yet and it is human emotions. …”
