Composite Bayesian Optimization in function spaces using NEON—Neural Epistemic Operator Networks by Leonardo Ferreira Guilhoto, Paris Perdikaris

“…We showcase the utility of this method for sequential decision-making by examining the problem of composite Bayesian Optimization (BO), where we aim to optimize a function $$f=g\circ h$$ f = g ∘ h , where $$h:X\rightarrow C(\mathscr {Y},{\mathbb {R}}^{d_s})$$ h : X → C ( Y , R d s ) is an unknown map which outputs elements of a function space, and $$g: C(\mathscr {Y},{\mathbb {R}}^{d_s})\rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}$$ g : C ( Y , R d s ) → R is a known and cheap-to-compute functional. …”

Transfer learning with class activation maps in compositions driving plaque classification in carotid ultrasound by Georgia D. Liapi, Christos P. Loizou, Maura Griffin, Constantinos S. Pattichis, Constantinos S. Pattichis, Andrew Nicolaides, Efthyvoulos Kyriacou

“…In this study, the objective was to assess whether class activations maps (CAMs) can reveal which U/S grayscale-(GS)-based plaque compositions (lipid cores, fibrous content, collagen, and/or calcified areas) influence the model's understanding of the ASY and SY cases.MethodsWe used Xception via transfer learning, as a base for feature extraction (all layers frozen), whose output we fed into a new dense layer, followed by a new classification layer, which we trained with standardized B-mode U/S longitudinal plaque images. …”

AXIAL TENSILE STRENGTH ANALYSIS OF UNBONDED FLEXIBLE PIPE CONTAINING COMPOSITE TENSILE ARMORS by MA JinSheng, DU FaXi, LUO Dan

“…As offshore oil industry moves into ultra-deep water,replacing the steel tensile armors of unbonded flexible pipe with composite is becoming a scheme that can effectively reduce weight and provide better mechanical properties.The anisotropic parameters of composite are obtained by meso-mechanical method,then a model of axisymmetric structure response for composite flexible pipe with composite armored layer is established,which is based on both thick-wall cylinder theory and the differential equation of curved beam,and also the algorithm of cyclic iterative is combined.Failure models of different type of flexible pipes are obtained,and iso-strength method is used for composite armored pipe.A case study shows that composite armors can effectively enhance the tensile strength of unbonded flexible pipe while effectively reduce the overall weight.Results state that volume fraction,elastic modulus and strength of fiber are the important parameters which affect the axial stiffness and tensile strength of unbonded flexible pipe.…”
