Accelerating crystal structure search through active learning with neural networks for rapid relaxations by Stefaan S. P. Hessmann, Kristof T. Schütt, Niklas W. A. Gebauer, Michael Gastegger, Tamio Oguchi, Tomoki Yamashita

“…Using this approach, we are able to effectively identify the most promising candidates for further evaluation using density functional theory (DFT). Our method not only reliably reduces computational costs by up to two orders of magnitude across the benchmark systems Si16, Na8Cl8, Ga8As8 and Al4O6 but also excels in finding the most stable minimum for the unseen, more complex systems Si46 and Al16O24. …”

Low-overhead routing algorithm for opportunistic networks based on immunity information piggybacked by SV by Zhi REN, Cong CHEN, Ya-nan CAO, Chen PENG, Qian-bin CHEN

“…A novel routing algorithm,LRPI (low-overhead routing with piggybacked immunity information) was proposed.LRPI contains the following four new mechanisms:piggybacking the immune information with SV(summary vectors),fast generation of the immune information through a cross-layer method,an improved exchange mechanism of SV,and adaptive compression of SV.Based on the above new mechanism,LRPI not only avoids using special data structure but also can achieve the same immune function more quickly.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that LRPI outperforms the classical epidemic routing algorithm and a few of its improvements in terms of control overhead,the number of saved packets,and average end-to-end delay.…”
