Simulation of high-speed train aerodynamics using RANS and machine learning.
Design of printed circuit board (PCB) stack-up requires the consideration of characteristic impedance, insertion loss and crosstalk. As there are many parameters in a PCB stack-up design, the optimization of these parameters needs to be efficient and accurate. A less optimal stack-up would lead to expensive PCB materia…
The possibility of latency arbitrage in financial markets has led to the deployment of high-speed communication links between distant financial centers. These links are noisy and so there is a need for coding. In this paper, we develop a gametheoretic model of trading behavior where two traders compete to capture laten…
Computational ghost imaging is an imaging technique in which an object is imaged from light collected using a single-pixel detector with no spatial resolution.

Generating eye diagrams by using a circuit simulator can be very computationally intensive, especially in the presence of nonlinearities. It often involves multiple Newton-like iterations at every time step when a SPICE-like circuit simulator handles a nonlinear system in the transient regime. In this paper, we leverag…

Optimal sampling reduces power grid data analysis costs.
Loss Data Analytics is an interactive, online, freely available text. The idea behind the name Loss Data Analytics is to integrate classical loss data models from applied probability with modern analytic tools.

Nearly one-half of all trades in financial markets are executed by high-speed, autonomous computer programs -- a type of trading often called high-frequency trading (HFT). Although evidence suggests that HFT increases the efficiency of markets, it is unclear how or why it produces this outcome. Here we create a simple …

BCAE-2D compresses 3D data from a time projection chamber at high speed.
The high cost of communicating gradients is a major bottleneck for federated learning, as the bandwidth of the participating user devices is limited. Existing gradient compression algorithms are mainly designed for data centers with high-speed network and achieve per-iteration communication cost at…
Rapid identification of object from radar cross section (RCS) signals is important for many space and military applications. This identification is a problem in pattern recognition which either neural networks or support vector machines should prove to be high-speed. Bayesian networks would also provide value but requi…

Incremental ELMVIS learns from large, unorganized datasets.
Meta-learning has been widely used for implementing few-shot learning and fast model adaptation.

Extreme learning machine (ELM) as a neural network algorithm has shown its good performance, such as fast speed, simple structure etc, but also, weak robustness is an unavoidable defect in original ELM for blended data.

Gaussian process is a theoretically appealing model for nonparametric analysis, but its computational cumbersomeness hinders its use in large scale and the existing reduced-rank solutions are usually heuristic. In this work, we propose a novel construction of Gaussian process as a projection from fixed discrete frequen…
