Unsupervised Domain Adaptation Using Exemplar-SVMs with Adaptation Regularization by Yiwei He, Yingjie Tian, Jingjing Tang, Yue Ma

“…However, in many real-world applications, there also exist problems of sample selection bias among instances in a domain; this would reduce the generalization performance of learners. To address this issue, we propose a novel model named Domain Adaptation Exemplar Support Vector Machines (DAESVMs) based on exemplar support vector machines (exemplar-SVMs). …”

Characterization of the Ionospheric Vertical Error Correlation Lengths Based on Global Ionosonde Observations by L. Yuan, Timothy Kodikara, M. M. Hoque

“…The results show that the proposed model is stable and well‐correlated with the observed VCLs, which implies a potential to be generalized for a global correlation model. The proposed model can be used in the temporal evolution of error covariance matrices in the ionospheric 4D‐Variational (4D‐Var) assimilations, which may overcome the main drawbacks of the static error covariance specifications in the ionospheric 4D‐Var assimilations.…”
