Surrogate-based model parameter optimization in simulations of the West African monsoon by M. Fischer, P. Knippertz, C. Proppe

“…The problem is approached in two distinct ways: (1) optimization of 15 designated QoIs, such as the latitude and magnitude of the African rain belt or African easterly jet, using existing surrogate models and (2) optimization of twelve 2D meteorological output fields, such as precipitation, cloud cover, and pressure, using new surrogate models that employ principal component analysis. The objectives subject to minimization in the MOO process are defined as the difference between the surrogate model and reference data for each QoI or output field. …”

The Capacities and Functions of Using Ugliness in Aesthetic Works by bita bahramighasr, fatemeh khorshidvand

“…In this regard, a precise attempt has been made to explore the aesthetic theories and categorize the various functions that may lead to the reflection of ugliness in aesthetic outputs. An inductive analysis of the evidence suggests that so-called ugly phenomena employed in artworks generally serve three main functions: aesthetic, epistemological, and psychological. …”
