Noise-resilient designs and analysis for optical neural networks by Gianluca Kosmella, Ripalta Stabile, Jaron Sanders

“…Specifically, we investigate a probabilistic framework for the tree-like design that establishes the correctness of the design, i.e. for any feed-forward NN with Lipschitz continuous activation functions, an ONN can be constructed that produces output arbitrarily close to the original. ONNs constructed with the tree-like design thus also inherit the universal approximation property of NNs. …”

Voces de niñez migrante en Chillan by Iskra Pavez-Soto

“…La cultura oral se destaca por la diversidad de versiones que giran sobre un mismo hecho o, como en este caso, una misma leyenda, al transitar de boca en boca, como el juego del teléfono, va mutando pero logra mantenerse fiel a su sentido original. Así, El Silbón venezolano constituye un mito cargado de simbolismo: un niño mimado destripa a su padre para poder comer, sin embargo, es castigado con golpes o latigazos azuzados con ají, sal, limón o pimienta, según la variación, y condenado a deambular eternamente con los huesos paternos, en otras versiones mata a los hombres mujeriegos. …”

Design of a small-scale and failure-resistant IaaS cloud using OpenStack by Samuel Heuchert, Bhaskar Prasad Rimal, Martin Reisslein, Yong Wang

“…Findings – Through the demonstration of dynamically adding an IaaS node, pushing the deployment to its physical and logical limits, and eventually crashing the deployment, this paper shows how the PackStack utility facilitates the provisioning of an elastic and resilient OpenStack-based IaaS platform that can be used in production if the deployment is kept within designated boundaries. Originality/value – The authors adopt the multinode-capable PackStack utility in favor of an all-in-one OpenStack build for a true demonstration of resiliency, elasticity and scalability in a small-scale IaaS. …”

Bearing Fault Classification Using Improved Antlion Optimizer and Extreme Learning Machine by Zhuanzhe Zhao, Yu Zhang, Qiang Ma, Yujian Rui, Guowen Ye, Mengxian Wang, Yongming Liu, Zhen Zhang, Neng Wei, Zhijian Tu

“…Experimental results on 4 benchmark functions show that the novel ELALO can effectively improve the solution accuracy and convergence speed, compared with the original ALO. Secondly, in order to solve the disadvantage that extreme learning machine (ELM) network is easy to fall into local optimization, this ELALO algorithm is used to initialize the weights and thresholds of its network and to form the new pattern recognition model, ELALO-ELM. …”

METHAPHYSICS OF DEATH PENALTY by V. E. Gromov

“…The author applies an approach of dialectic reflection being guided by the perception of unity, relativeness and complementarity of evil and good striving to determine efficient way of resolving their contradictions in the context of moral progress of the society. Originality. Proposing philosophic approach to a death penalty problem instead of legal one, the author is not going to discuss the role of horrification, control or cruelty of the measure of restraint; moreover, he does not consider the issue of its efficiency or inefficiency. …”
