Training neural networks is a fundamental problem in theoretical machine learning. Second-order methods are rarely used in practice due to their high computational cost, even they converge much faster than first-order...

The quality of software products is among the most prevalent challenges threatening the software development primarily in small software companies (SSCs). These challenges are associated with insufficient practices affecting the production of software and the development processes. This paper explores the role of governance in streamlining software processes and practices to produce better quality software products. In a cross-sectional survey (n = 127), we reached out to software practitioners working in SSCs from four countries. We examined how SSCs engage in oversight and accountability and how SSCs perform management roles and activities, such as controlling, directing, and guiding in the process of developing software. Our findings indicate that although the SSCs minimally embrace governance practices, the smaller companies have a more challenging task embracing governance practices from the complexities arising out of these companies' structures. This study highlights the aspects of governance that need attention in the smaller category of SSCs. It proposes an organizational governance model to facilitate the SSCs in developing governance strategies to take advantage of the benefits of governance during software development.
This study explores a CNN based model to identify abnormal behavior in elevator cabs, which I have named S-LRCN (S-Long-term Recurrent Convolutional Network). It starts with the detection of key points of the human sk...

We consider the class of finite, rooted, unranked, unordered, node-labeled trees. Such trees are represented as structures with only the parent-child relation, in addition to any number of unary predicates for node labels. We prove that every unary first-order query over the considered class of trees is already expressible in two-variable first-order logic with counting. Somewhat to our surprise, we have not seen this result being conjectured in the extensive literature on logics for trees. Our proof is based on a global variant of local equivalence notions on nodes of trees. This variant applies to entire trees, and involves counting ancestors of locally equivalent nodes.
