Machine Learning-Based Probabilistic Seismic Demand Model of Continuous Girder Bridges by Wenshan Li, Yong Huang, Zikai Xie

“…Subsequently, PSDMs are established for the IMs and engineering demand parameters based on the existing NTHA data using machine-learning methods, which include linear regression, Bayesian regression (BR), and a tree-based model. The results indicated that random forest (RF) is the most suitable model to predict the longitudinal and transverse curvature at the bottom of the four piers from the coefficients of determination. …”

Speech-based personality prediction using deep learning with acoustic and linguistic embeddings by Martin Lukac

“…These embeddings were combined and input into gradient boosted tree models to predict personality traits. Our results indicate that personality traits can be effectively predicted from speech, with correlation coefficients between predicted scores and self-reported scores ranging from 0.26 (extraversion) to 0.39 (neuroticism), and from 0.39 to 0.60 for disattenuated correlations. …”

Tracheoesophageal Fistula in a COVID-19 Ventilated Patient: A Challenging Therapeutic Decision by Riccardo Rosati, Paola De Nardi, Antonio Dell’Acqua, Maria Rosa Calvi, Ugo Elmore, Elena Scarparo, Luigi Beretta

“…We hypothesized that one of the mechanisms for tracheoesophageal fistula, along with other local and general risk factors, is the local infection due to the location of the virus itself in the tracheobronchial tree. The patient was managed successfully with surgical intervention. …”

Optimizing Pinned Nodes to Maximize the Convergence Rate of Multiagent Systems with Digraph Topologies by Yujuan Han, Wenlian Lu, Tianping Chen, Changkai Sun

“…In the case of sufficiently small pinning strength, perturbation methods are employed to derive formulas in terms of asymptotics that indicate that the left eigenvector corresponding to eigenvalue zero of the Laplacian measures the importance of node in pinning control multiagent systems if the underlying network has a spanning tree, whereas for the network with no spanning trees, the left eigenvectors of the Laplacian matrix corresponding to eigenvalue zero can be used to select the optimal pinned node set. …”
