This study investigates various methods for autonomous traffic signal control. We look into different types of control methods, including fixed time, adaptive, analytic, and reinforcement learning approaches. Machine approaches are compared with the “analytic” approach, which is used as “gold standard” performance assessment. find that conventional machine better than analytic but require a lot...

• Table S6: Harmonic vibrational frequencies at the ωB97X-D/aug-cc-pVTZ level using SG-2 and SG-3. In this case, analytic Hessians are available in QChem so we compare these analytic results to frequencies computed via finite difference of analytic gradients. Results show that there is very little difference between the two approaches, which validates other finite-difference frequencies reporte...

We propose a general framework for the interpolation problem. Our framework stems from the classical elaboration of the problem. We introduce the notion of an interpolating fuzzy function and show how this function can be characterized. We examine and analyze previously published fuzzy interpolation algorithms to choose those algorithms that can be represented analytically. We also propose an a...

Entropy and compression have been used to distinguish fetuses at risk of hypoxia from their healthy counterparts through the analysis of Fetal Heart Rate (FHR). Low correlation that was observed between these two approaches suggests that they capture different complexity features. This study aims at characterizing the complexity of FHR features captured by entropy and compression, using as refe...

In this paper we consider the modern theory of the Bayesian brain from cognitive neurosciences in the light of recommender systems and expose potentials for our community. In particular, we elaborate on noisy user feedback and the thus resulting multicomponent user models, which have indeed a biological origin. In real user experiments we observe the impact of both factors directly in a repeate...

PURPOSE To discuss the need for a shift in focus from intuitive to more analytic ways of examining both the process and outcomes of professional decisions based on "best evidence." SCOPE Different assumptions inherent in intuitive and analytic explanations of nurses' decision making are outlined, and the two approaches are compared. The benefits and limitations of such approaches to decision ...
