Human motion similarity evaluation based on deep metric learning by Yidan Zhang, Lei Nie

“…In addition, the dynamic time warping (DWT) algorithm is exploited to align the sequence of action information feature vectors temporally, which solves the problem of temporal axis discrepancies in realizing similarity metrics based on action information feature vectors. More accurate and reliable human action similarity evaluation results were achieved by the loss function composed of three components, namely, cross-reconstruction loss, reconstruction loss and triplet loss. …”

Aerodynamic Optimization Method for Propeller Airfoil Based on DBO-BP and NSWOA by Changjing Guo, Zhiling Xu, Xiaoyan Yang, Hao Li

“…The NACA4412 airfoil is selected as the research subject, optimizing the original airfoil at three angles of attack (2°, 5° and 10°). The CST (Class Function/Shape Function Transformation) airfoil parametrization method is used to parameterize the original airfoil, and Latin hypercube sampling is employed to perturb the original airfoil within a certain range to generate a sample space. …”
