Energy consumption prediction using modified deep CNN-Bi LSTM with attention mechanism by Adel Binbusayyis, Mohemmed Sha

“…Deep CNN extracts features impacting energy consumption whereas Bi-LSTM with attention layer finds suitability for regression as it is capable of modelling irregular trends in the time-series components, where the attention mechanism is implemented to enhance the decoder's ability to selectively focus on the most relevant segments of the input sequence. This is achieved through a weighted integration of all encoded input trajectories, allowing the model to dynamically emphasize the vectors that carry the highest significance for accurate predictions. …”

Tending to the Facial Surfaces of a Mathematical Biology Head-Scratcher: Why Does the Head of the Sea Turtle <i>Natator depressus</i> Resemble a Convex Zygomorphic Dodecahedron? by David A. Becker

“…Remarkably, a model stipulating that convexity is to be retained in connection with this sequence of steps necessitates that the starting dodecahedral template undergoes modification to become a tetradecahedron in possession of precisely the highly ordered feature found at the top of the head of numerous specimens of the flatback sea turtle hatchling, namely, a fused medial pentagon–heptagon pair in the form of a pentagonal frontal scute and heptagonal frontoparietal scute. …”
