Communication efficiency is crucial for federated learning (FL). Conducting local training steps in clients to reduce the communication frequency between and server a common method address this issue. However, it leads client drift problem due non-i.i.d. data distributions different which severely deteriorates performance. In work, we propose new improve performance cross-silo FL via maintainin...

Water, energy, and agricultural infrastructure investments have important inter-relations fulfilling potentially competing objectives. When shaping investment plans, decision makers need to evaluate those interactions the associated uncertainties. We compare planning under uncertainty with an integrated water-energy-food nexus framework sector-centered (silo) frameworks. use WHAT-IF, open-sourc...

In this paper we report experimental results on the granular temperature and velocity profile of glass beads in steady-state flow inside a flat-bottomed silo. We found that dynamics system during discharge is stable mesoscopic scale. particular, ordered directional movement particles can occur near orifice. addition, correlation between distribution vector field opposite radial axial directions...

In today’s lending environment, cross-sell has become a way of life for most consumer lenders. Moving from a silo-product mentality to a consultative selling approach to help the customer with a variety of needs has resulted in a proliferation of cross-sell initiatives. While crosssell efforts appear widespread, many bankers and lenders are not effectively executing, which results in low cross-...
