Inverse binary optimization of convolutional neural network in active learning efficiently designs nanophotonic structures by Jaehyeon Park, Zhihao Xu, Gyeong-Moon Park, Tengfei Luo, Eungkyu Lee

“…We conduct a benchmarking study of the CNN-based surrogate function within the CNN-IBO framework by optimizing nanophotonic designs (e.g., planar multilayer and stratified grating structure) as a testbed. Our results demonstrate that CNN-IBO achieves optimal designs with fewer actively accumulated training data than FM-QA, indicating its potential as a powerful and efficient method for binary optimization.…”

A Decision Support System for Simulating and Predicting the Impacts of Various Tournament Structures on Tournament Outcomes by Khalid Ruzelan, Yusof Muhammad Mat, Rosli Nurzahidah Che, Nawawi Mohd Kamal Mohd

“…The outcomes can be influenced by several factors, such as attack, defence and home advantage strength values, as well as tournament structures. However, the claim that different structures, such as knockout (KO), round-robin (RR) and hybrid structures, have their own time restraints and requirements has limited the evaluation of the best structure for a particular type of sports tournament using quantitative approaches. …”
