Thomas Hardy : une écriture paradoxale entre génération et dégradation entropique by Annie Escuret

“…Some of Hardy’s narratives do not belong to this modern conception of time : when time means loss in Hardy’s fiction, it refers to thermodynamics and to the loss of energy, that is to say time as degradation and no longer time as poetic creation embodied in Hardy’s Wessex.…”

Region inpainting algorithm of mouth-muffles for facial recognition by Yue LI, Yaguan QIAN, Xiaohui GUAN, Wei LI, Bin WANG, Zhaoquan GU

“…Facial recognition under occlusion is a well-known difficult problem in real scenes.Especially after the outbreak of COVID-19, in airports, stations and other places that need to verify the identity of visitors, the mouth-muffle occlusion greatly reduces the facial features that can be important for identification, and the accuracy of face recognition algorithm decreases.Face de-occlusion was studied, and a novel framework was proposed to restore face, which used the edge generation network to generate edge maps.On this basis, the occluded region was restored by the region completion network while preserving identity information.In order to improve the performance, the spatial weighted adversarial loss and identity-preserving loss were introduced to train the above two networks.Then two face datasets with mouth-muffles were constructed by face landmarks.The experimental results show that the accuracy of facial recognition algorithm ArcFace on the face dataset restored by the proposed model was 98.39%, which was 4.13% higher than that of directly using ArcFace.…”

When Inflation Causes No Increase in Claim Amounts by Vytaras Brazauskas, Bruce L. Jones, Ričardas Zitikis

“…A particularly interesting phenomenon occurs when losses follow a Pareto distribution. In this case, the observed loss amounts (those that exceed the deductible) are identically distributed from year to year even in the presence of inflation. …”

STUDY ON THE ACOUSTO-STRUCTURAL COUPLING OF THIN CYLINDRICAL HYDRAULIC PIPE by XIE MiaoXia, GUO Ruifeng, LI LiXia, ZHANG LinJie

“…In thin hydraulic pipes,the interaction between acoustic field in the fluid and structural wave field may results in more energy loss.In order to make clear the energy loss mechanism of this kind of cylindrical pipe,an analytic study on the acousto-structural coupling of a thin cylindrical pipe is carried out using the impedance-mobility approach（ IMA） in this work.Coupled equations for describing such acousto-structural coupling are derived from the wave equation and the dynamic equation of a cylindrical shell.In deriving the dynamic equation of a cylindrical shell,wave propagation involving distortion of the cross section is considered,which is very different from general researches about hydraulic vibration.In order to validate the IMA model developed,the acousto-structural response of a cylindrical pipe filled with air is calculated using IMA and FEA,respectively,which reveals the good agreement between IMA and FEA results.…”

Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm for Mackey-Glass Chaotic Time Series Prediction by Junsheng Zhao, Yongmin Li, Xingjiang Yu, Xingfang Zhang

“…When the multilayer perceptron is used to predict the Mackey-Glass chaotic time series, what we should do is to minimize the loss function. As is well known, the convergence speed of the loss function is rapid in the beginning of the learning process, while the convergence speed is very slow when the parameter is near to the minimum point. …”
