The method introduced in this paper aims at helping deep learning practitioners faced with an overfit problem. The idea is to replace, in a multi-branch network, the standard summation of parallel branches with a stochastic affine combination. Applied to 3-branch residual networks, shake-shake regularization improves on the best single shot published results on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR100 by reaching...

This study examines nonlinear signal-based control (NSBC) in shake table experiments with sliding structures, which have an isolation effect during earthquake. NSBC uses a signal obtained from the outputs of controlled system and its linear model under same input. Owing to presence model, controllers are described by transfer functions, even for controlling systems. achieved excellent specimen ...

A shake table protocol for seismic assessment and qualification of acceleration-sensitive nonstructural elements (NEs) is developed. The paper critically reviews existing protocols highlights their criticalities, pointing out the need development novel approaches protocols. developed in light these considering most recent advances field specific expertise research team. significant contributing...

− We can obtain the performance of the marine seismometer upon the sediment to know its coupling in the bottom sea. This paper deals with the coupling parameters in order to obtain the geophone response through the frequency. The use of the shake table and vibration calibrator allows to deduce the coupling transfer function between the geophone and the sediment sea without using a detailed mode...
