Preserving privacy whilst maintaining robust epidemiological predictions.
Mathematical models are invaluable tools for quantifying potential epidemics and devising optimal control strategies in case of an outbreak. State-of-the-art models increasingly require detailed individual farm-based and sensitive data, which may not be available due to either lack of capacity for data collection or privacy concerns. However, in many situations, aggregated data are available fo...
متن کاملBayesian Conditional Gaussian Network Classifiers with Applications to Mass Spectra Classification
Classifiers based on probabilistic graphical models are very effective. In continuous domains, maximum likelihood is usually used to assess the predictions of those classifiers. When data is scarce, this can easily lead to overfitting. In any probabilistic setting, Bayesian averaging (BA) provides theoretically optimal predictions and is known to be robust to overfitting. In this work we introd...
متن کاملEfficient unstructured mesh generation for marine renewable energy applications
Renewable energy is the cornerstone of preventing dangerous climate change whilst maintaining a robust energy supply. Tidal energy will arguably play a critical role in the renewable energy portfolio as it is both predictable and reliable, and can be put in place across the globe. However, installation may impact the local and regional ecology via changes in tidal dynamics, sediment transport p...
متن کاملSelf-Adaptive Stepsize Search Applied To Robust Engineering Design Optimisation
In engineering it is usually necessary to design systems as cheap as possible whilst ensuring that certain constraints are satisfied. Computational optimisation methods can help to find optimal designs. However, it is demonstrated in this work that an optimal design is often not robust against variations caused by the manufacturing process, which would result in unsatisfactory product quality. ...
متن کاملA Robust Method to Predict Equilibrium and Kinetics of Sulfur and Nitrogen Compounds Adsorption from Liquid Fuel on Mesoporous Material
This study presents a robust and rigorous method based on intelligent models, namely radial basis function networks optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO-RBF), multilayer perceptron neural networks (MLP-NNs), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system optimized by particle swarm optimization methods (PSO-ANFIS), for predicting the equilibrium and kinetics of the adsorption of sulfur and ...
