We propose a novel and adaptive feature space distillation method (AFSD) to reduce the communication overhead among distributed computers. The proposed improves Codistillation process by supporting longer update interval rates. AFSD performs knowledge distillates across models infrequently provides flexibility in terms of exploring diverse variations training process. perform sharing instead ou...

To evaluate the hypothesis of increased kidney cancer risk after exposure to hydrocarbons, especially those present in gasoline, we conducted a case-control study in a cohort of approximately 100,000 male refinery workers from five petroleum companies. A review of 18,323 death certificates identified 102 kidney cancer cases, to each of whom four controls were matched by refinery location and de...

The College of Engineering Center for Environmental Research and Technology (CE-CERT) proposes expand the scope of our existing three-year California Air Resources Board (CARB) agreement 00-333 to carry out the additional work needed to reduce the uncertainties in estimating the impacts of architectural coatings emissions on photochemical ozone formation and other measures of air quality. The s...
