Layer ensemble averaging for fault tolerance in memristive neural networks by Osama Yousuf, Brian D. Hoskins, Karthick Ramu, Mitchell Fream, William A. Borders, Advait Madhavan, Matthew W. Daniels, Andrew Dienstfrey, Jabez J. McClelland, Martin Lueker-Boden, Gina C. Adam

“…This work proposes layer ensemble averaging—a hardware-oriented fault tolerance scheme for improving inference performance of non-ideal memristive neural networks programmed with pre-trained solutions. Simulations on an image classification task and hardware experiments on a continual learning problem with a custom 20,000-device prototyping platform show significant performance gains, outperforming prior methods at similar redundancy levels and overheads. …”

Research on Irregular Flight Recovery Based on Air-Rail Spatiotemporal Network Model by Lili Zu, Jingyuan Sun, Zhenlin He, Quan Shao

“…The issue of irregular flight recovery has long been a significant and challenging problem for airlines, necessitating an effective program to develop recovery plans. Simultaneously, China’s high-speed rail trains, which are less sensitive to weather, have high dispatch volumes, and boast high punctuality rates, overcome the major pain points of aviation. …”
