Real-Time Integrated Limited-Stop and Short-Turning Bus Control with Stochastic Travel Time by Hu Zhang, Shuzhi Zhao, Yang Cao, Huasheng Liu, Shidong Liang

“…When implemented correctly, the optimal scheme indicates which stations should be skipped, where it is suitable for buses to turn back, and how long the holding time should be at turn-back stations, which in turn will minimize the total cost of a transit system. This paper formulates such an integrated strategy, presents the solution method of the formulation, and proves the validity of the real-time control method.…”

A human single-neuron dataset for object recognition by Runnan Cao, Peter Brunner, Nicholas J. Brandmeir, Jon T. Willie, Shuo Wang

“…We employed two sets of naturalistic object images from leading datasets extensively used in primate neural recordings and computer vision models: we recorded 1204 neurons using the ImageNet stimuli, which included broader object categories (10 different images per category for 50 categories), and we recorded 512 neurons using the Microsoft COCO stimuli, which featured a higher number of images per category (50 different images per category for 10 categories). Together, our extensive dataset, offering the highest spatial and temporal resolution currently available in humans, will not only facilitate a comprehensive analysis of the neural correlates of object recognition but also provide valuable opportunities for training and validating computational models.…”
