Teaching New Tricks to Insulators

Teaching Old Dogs New Tricks Implementing Organizational Learning in an Asian National Police Force

Designation of an Indicator for flashover prediction of porcelain and glass insulators based on experimental tests.

Flashover of polluted insulators in contaminated areas is one of the most important factors influencing the operation of transmission and distribution lines and finally line outages. Therefore, it is essential to prevent and detect flashover in the insulators. Hence, utilizing the insulator status monitoring systems and predicting their functions have absorbed a lot of attention over the recent...

Models of Cooperative Teaching and Learning

While most supervised machine learning models assume that training examples are sampled at random or adversarially, this article is concerned with models of learning from a cooperative teacher that selects “helpful” training examples. The number of training examples a learner needs for identifying a concept in a given class C of possible target concepts (sample complexity of C) is lower in mode...

Teaching polaritons new tricks

Semiconductor microcavities have attracted much recent interest because they utilize simultaneously 2D confinement of both excitons and photons in the same heterostructure. Strong coupling of these two states produces unique dynamics that can be well described in a quasiparticle state, the cavity polaritons. Their dispersion relation is dramatically modified with an apparent trap in k-space off...
