Optimization Method of Underwater Flapping Foil Propulsion Performance Based on Gaussian Process Regression and Deep Reinforcement Learning by YANG Yinghe, WEI Handi, FAN Dixia, LI Ang

“…In order to overcome the complexity and variability of underwater working environments, as well as the difficulty of controlling the flapping motion due to the significant nonlinear characteristics and numerous variables involved, a direct exploration approach is proposed to search for the optimal flapping foil propulsion parameters in the environment. The Latin hypercube sampling technique is utilized to obtain the samples of multi-dimensional flapping parameters in actual water pool data, and a Gaussian process regression (GPR) machine learning model is established based on these samples to generalize the working environment. …”

Obscene beasts: the stage behind the scenes in A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Mathilde La Cassagnère

“…Mimesis, the art of imitating the real world on the stage, is all the more difficult if this real world consists of a beast—a wild, dangerous, supposedly “obscene” animal in the Latin sense: literally off-stage. Such is the challenge faced by the amateur company of mechanicals who are producing the love tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe, A Midsummer Night’s Dream’s play within the play featuring a fearful lion. …”
