Backpropagation (or backprop) algorithm is one of the well-known algorithms in neural networks. It is capable to deal with various types of data and also able to model a complex decision system. Some problem domains involve a large amount of data. The bigger the number of input or hidden units is, the more complex the model would be. Hence, reducing the network complexity would be an advantage ...

Support V ectorMachines (SVMs) ha vebecome an increasingly popular tool for machine learning tasks involving classi cation, regression or no velty detection. They exhibit good generalisation performance on many reallife datasets and the approach is well-motivated theoretically. T raining involv es optimisation of a convex cost function, there are relatively few free parameters to adjust and the...

Ambulance response time to emergency calls is a key indicator of health system's efficiency although its impact on not precisely known. This causal relation identified by exploiting rainfall at the ambulance run as shock responsiveness. The elasticity likelihood severe cardiovascular condition with respect 0.9 and that death before reaching hospital 5. Finally, economic value quantified, it sho...

Given a set oft raining examples, determining the appropriate number of free parameters is a challenging problem. Constructive learning algorithms attempt to solve this problem automatically by adding hidden units, and therefore free parameters, during learning. We explore an alternative class of algorithms-called metamorphosis algorithms-in which the number of units is fixed, but the number of...

The MWTP: Monterrey Weather, Traffic and Pollution Database contains a collection of historic weather conditions, and recent traffic and air pollution data of the metropolitan area of Monterrey, Mexico. Collected data includes: temperature, humidity, raining conditions, wind speed, travel distance, travel time, PM2.5, PM10, O3, among many others. As of February 2017, the MWTP database contained...

This paper provides a physically based model to animate water. A disturbance model is proposed to simulate various kinds of waves. We use a powerful solver called Finite Volume Method to solve the water uid equation and give various kinds of disturbance to the solutions according to di erent disturbance sources such as wind and rain droplets. In this way, we can nicely simulate the movement of ...
