Design optimization of complex electromagnetic devices such as antennas with volumetric material and conductor variations require high computational resources. This burden can be reduced by introducing cost-effective surrogate models into the design optimization framework. Here we present a comparative analysis of various surrogate modeling techniques for material design studies of electromagne...

Surrogate reasoning is reasoning whose task is partially taken over by operations on external aids, such as sentences, diagrams, physical models, mathematical models, and computers. Drawing on the basic concepts in situation theory, we present a semi-formal model of surrogate reasoning. We claim that the relative advantages and disadvantages of different forms of surrogate reasoning can be expl...

Motivated by extremely large-scale machine learning problems, we introduce a new multistage algorithmic framework for submodular maximization (called MultGreed), where at each stage we apply an approximate greedy procedure to maximize surrogate submodular functions. The surrogates serve as proxies for a target submodular function but require less memory and are easy to evaluate. We theoreticall...

Mainstream surrogate approaches for multi-objective problems build one approximation for each objective. Mono-surrogate approaches instead aim at characterizing the Pareto front with a single model. Such an approach has been recently introduced using a mixture of regression Support Vector Machine (SVM) to clamp the current Pareto front to a single value, and one-class SVM to ensure that all dom...

s:1640:"Background: Surrogacy is one of the most controversial procedures in infertility treatment. Despite increasing of using this technology in Iran, there are few practical data about surrogacy. There isn't any study assessing experiences of commissioning mothers about surrogate mother selection. The purpose of this study was exploring of commissioning mothers' experiences in sele...

With the increasing competition and customer demands and new market areas, the need for organizations to innovate and furthermore to ceaselessly innovate is stressed throughout the modern management domain. Innovation is the body of knowledge referred to collectively as knowledge management. Knowledge is considered as a potential key competitive advantage, by helping to increase innovation with...
