A Surrogate Piecewise Linear Loss Function for Contextual Stochastic Linear Programs in Transport by Qi Hong, Mo Jia, Xuecheng Tian, Zhiyuan Liu, Shuaian Wang

“…To address this limitation, inspired by the smart predict-then-optimize framework, we introduce a novel tunable piecewise linear loss function (PLLF). Rather than directly incorporating decision loss into the learning objective based on specific problem, PLLF serves as a general feedback mechanism that guides the prediction model based on the structure and sensitivity of the downstream optimization task. …”

Early functional changes in lewy body dementia: roles of dynamics, locus coeruleus, and compensation by Kristína Mitterová, Eva Výtvarová, Anežka Kovářová, Martin Lamoš, Jan Fousek, Irena Rektorová

“…Abstract Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is marked by multidomain cognitive impairments, with fluctuations in cognition and alertness being among the most common clinical features. Disruptions in functional connectivity are thought to underlie these fluctuations, but it remains unclear whether such patterns are already present at prodromal stages. …”

An Attractive Approach Associated with Transform Functions for Solving Certain Fractional Swift-Hohenberg Equation by Mohammad Alaroud, Nedal Tahat, Shrideh Al-Omari, D. L. Suthar, Selma Gulyaz-Ozyurt

“…The proposed technique is a combination of the generalized Taylor’s formula and the Laplace transform operator, which depends mainly on the concept of limit at infinity to find the unknown functions for the fractional series expansions in the Laplace space with fewer computations and more accuracy comparing with the classical RPS that depends on the Caputo fractional derivative for each step in obtaining the coefficient expansion. …”
