MOVIMENTO BROWNIANO: APLICAÇÃO EM ESTRATÉGIAS DE BUSCA by Matheus Dias Carvalho, Ricardo de Carvalho Falcão, Antonio Marcos de Oliveira Siqueira

“…The representation of stationary state was also performed in graphical form, thus obtaining the distribution function of probability required. In order to briefly approach the walker in a deadly process, a graph was produced that presents the function between the number of steps taken by a walker before his death and his metabolic capacity. …”

An interaction relational inference method for a coal-mining equipment system by Xiangang Cao, Jiajun Gao, Xin Yang, Fuyuan Zhao, Boyang Cheng

“…The interaction constructor of the CIRI interaction inference model in this method introduces Gumbel-softmax technology, which autonomously generates multiple types of interaction relations based on several probability matrices. CIRI’s interaction optimizer introduces an attention mechanism to assign weights to interaction relations, and it predicts future system states based on device-monitoring data and interaction relations, optimizing the types and weights of interaction relations between nodes by reducing prediction errors. …”
