Multi-pulse Fourier codes for bit transmission at the quantum limit by Matteo Rosati

“…We show that multi-pulse codes can approach the rate of OOK closely, providing a simplified design for quantum-enhanced communication in the photon-starved regime; furthermore, multi-level codes can approach generalized-OOK strategies with multiple pulse types, thus they can be employed in the larger photon-number regime.…”

Quand Hildegarde rime avec Mastercard by Myriam White-Le Goff

“…Elle met en avant les traits médiévaux favorisant la vente : la figure d’Hildegarde apparaît en phase avec certaines angoisses de notre époque, loin de l’ascétisme de la moniale, l’image commerciale d’Hildegarde est associée à des valeurs qui peuvent paraître superflues. De manière générale, l’intérêt pour le Moyen Âge permet une logique marketing inattendue.…”

Application of Combined Multiple Linear Regression Model in Runoff Prediction by GUO Cunwen

“…In order to improve the hydrological prediction accuracy,a shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA)-combined multiple linear regression (CMLR) runoff prediction model is proposed.This paper first builds a CMLR model based on principal component analysis (PCA) data with and without dimensionality reduction;then optimizes the CMLR constant term,partial regression coefficient and combined weight coefficient by the SFLA to establish a SFLA-CMLR runoff prediction model;finally apply the SFLA-CMLR model on two examples of annual runoff prediction,and establishes the SFLA-PCA-MLR,SFLA-PCA-SVM (support vector machine),(least squares) LS-PCA-MLR,PCA-SVM,with dimensionality reduction of PCA,as well as SFLA-MLR,SFLA-SVM,LS-MLR,SVM,without dimensionality reduction as comparative prediction models.The results show that the average relative error of the SFLA-CMLR model for the annual runoff prediction of the two examples is 1.54% and 4.63%,respectively,and the prediction accuracy is better than that of SFLA-PCA-MLR and other 8 models.Therefore,it has better prediction accuracy and generalization ability.…”

Development of a Statistical Model for Estimating Spatial and Temporal Ambient Ozone Patterns in the Sierra Nevada, California by Haiganoush K. Preisler, Michael J. Arbaugh, Andrzej Bytnerowicz, Susan L. Schilling

“…Statistical approaches for modeling spatially and temporally explicit data are discussed for 79 passive sampler sites and 9 active monitors distributed across the Sierra Nevada, California. A generalized additive regression model was used to estimate spatial patterns and relationships between predicted ozone exposure and explanatory variables, and to predict exposure at nonmonitored sites. …”

Differential privacy budget optimization based on deep learning in IoT by Dan LUO, Ruzhi XU, Zhitao GUAN

“…In order to effectively process the massive data brought by the large-scale application of the internet of things (IoT), deep learning is widely used in IoT environment.However, in the training process of deep learning, there are security threats such as reasoning attacks and model reverse attacks, which can lead to the leakage of the original data input to the model.Applying differential privacy to protect the training process parameters of the deep model is an effective way to solve this problem.A differential privacy budget optimization method was proposed based on deep learning in IoT, which adaptively allocates different budgets according to the iterative change of parameters.In order to avoid the excessive noise, a regularization term was introduced to constrain the disturbance term.Preventing the neural network from over fitting also helps to learn the salient features of the model.Experiments show that this method can effectively enhance the generalization ability of the model.As the number of iterations increases, the accuracy of the model trained after adding noise is almost the same as that obtained by training using the original data, which not only achieves privacy protection, but also guarantees the availability, which means balance the privacy and availability.…”
