Near-optimal learning of Banach-valued, high-dimensional functions via deep neural networks

Author(s): Adcock B; Brugiapaglia S; Dexter N; Moraga S;

The past decade has seen increasing interest in applying Deep Learning (DL) to Computational Science and Engineering (CSE). Driven by impressive results in applications such as computer vision, Uncertainty Quantification (UQ), genetics, simulations and image processing, DL is increasingly supplanting classical algorithms, and seems poised to revolutionize ...

Development and performance assessment of a new opensource Bayesian inference R platform for building energy model calibration

Author(s): Hou D; Zhan D; Wang L; Hassan IG; Sezer N;

Many factors contribute to the inherent uncertainty of energy consumption modeling in buildings. It is essential to perform a calibration and sensitivity analysis in order to manage these uncertainties. Despite the availability of several calibration methods, they are often deterministic and lack quantified uncertainties. Moreover, the selection of parame ...

How uncertainty affects information search among consumers: a curvilinear perspective

Author(s): He S; Rucker DD;

Uncertainty is an inherent part of consumers' environment. A large literature in marketing and related disciplines has found a positive relationship between uncertainty and information search: as consumers' uncertainty about a brand, product, or service increases, so does their inclination to seek out and engage with information. In contrast to th ...

UncertaintyFuseNet: Robust uncertainty-aware hierarchical feature fusion model with Ensemble Monte Carlo Dropout for COVID-19 detection

Author(s): Abdar M; Salari S; Qahremani S; Lam HK; Karray F; Hussain S; Khosravi A; Acharya UR; Makarenkov V; Nahavandi S;

The COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic has become a major global threat to human health and well-being. Thus, the development of computer-aided detection (CAD) systems that are capable of accurately distinguishing COVID-19 from other diseases using chest computed tomography (CT) and X-r ...

Development of a DREAM-based inverse model for multi-point source identification in river pollution incidents: Model testing and uncertainty analysis

Author(s): Zhu Y; Chen Z;

Source identification plays a vital role in implementing control measures for sudden river pollution incidents. In contrast to single-point source identification problems, there have been no investigations into inverse identification of multi-point emissions. In this study, an inverse model is developed based on the observed time series of pollutant conce ...

Viral Anxiety Mediates the Influence of Intolerance of Uncertainty on Adherence to Physical Distancing Among Healthcare Workers in COVID-19 Pandemic

Author(s): Chung S; Lee T; Hong Y; Ahmed O; Silva WAD; Gouin JP;

Introduction: The aims of this study were to examine the mediation effect of viral anxiety of healthcare workers on the influence of their intolerance of uncertainty on the adherence to physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: An online survey was conducted among 329 healthcare workers (female: 81.4%, nursing professionals: 59.0%, and s ...

Decision-first modeling should guide decision making for emerging risks

Author(s): Morgan K; Collier ZA; Gilmore E; Schmitt K;

An emerging risk is characterized by scant published data, rapidly changing information, and an absence of existing models that can be directly used for prediction. Analysis may be further complicated by quickly evolving decision-maker priorities and the potential need to make decisions quickly as new information comes available. To provide a forum to dis ...

Towards a better understanding of deep convolutional neural network processes for recognizing organic chemicals of environmental concern

Author(s): Sun X; Zhang X; Wang L; Li Y; Muir DCG; Zeng EY;

Deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) has proved to be a promising tool for identifying organic chemicals of environmental concern. However, the uncertainty associated with DCNN predictions remains to be quantified. The training process contains many random configurations, including dataset segmentation, input sequences, and initial weight, etc. Moreov ...

Assessing the regional biogenic methanol emission from spring wheat during the growing season: A Canadian case study

Author(s): Cai M; An C; Guy C; Lu C; Mafakheri F;

As a volatile organic compound existing in the atmosphere, methanol plays a key role in atmospheric chemistry due to its comparatively high abundance and long lifetime. Croplands are a significant source of biogenic methanol, but there is a lack of systematic assessment for the production and emission of methanol from crops in various phases. In this stud ...

A robust optimization model for tactical capacity planning in an outpatient setting

Author(s): Aslani N; Kuzgunkaya O; Vidyarthi N; Terekhov D;

Tactical capacity planning is a key element of planning and control decisions in healthcare settings, focusing on the medium-term allocation of a clinic's resources to appointments of different types. One of the most scarce resources in healthcare is physician time. Due to uncertainty in demand for appointments, it is difficult to provide an exact mat ...
