In order to better understand the stochastic dynamic features of signalized traffic networks, we propose a Markov traffic model to simulate the dynamics of traffic link flow density for signalized urban traffic networks with demand uncertainty. In this model, we have four different state modes for the link according to different congestion levels of the link. Each link can only be in one of the four link state modes at any time, and the transition probability from one state to the other state is estimated by Bayesian estimation based on the distributions of the dynamic traffic flow densities, and the posterior probabilities. Therefore, we use a first-order Markov Chain Model to describe the dynamics of the traffic flow evolution process. We illustrate our approach for a small traffic network. Compared with the data from the microscopic traffic simulator SUMO, the proposed model can estimate the link traffic densities accurately and can give a reliable estimation of the uncertainties in the dynamic process of signalized traffic networks.

Genetic programming (GP) is a powerful classification technique. It is interpretable and it can dynamically build very complex expressions that maximize or minimize some fitness functions. It has a capacity to model very complex problems in the area of Machine Learning, Data Mining and Pattern Recognition. Nevertheless, GP has a high computational complexity time. On the other side, data standardization is one of the most important pre-processing steps in machine learning. The purpose of this step is to unify the scale of all input features to have equal contribution to the model. The objective of this paper is to investigate the influence of input data standardization methods on GP, and how it affects its prediction accuracy. Six different methods of input data standardization were checked in order to determine which one allows to achieve the most accurate result with lowest computational cost. The simulations have been implemented on ten benchmarked datasets with three different scenarios (varying the population size and number of generations). The results showed that the computational efficiency of GP is highly enhanced when coupled with some standardization methods, specifically Min-Max method for scenario I and Vector method for scenario II, and scenario III. Whereas, Manhattan and Z-Score methods had the worst results for all three scenarios. Copyright 2018 by SCITEPRESS – Science and technology Publications, Lda. All rights reserved.

We report the study of the thermoelectric properties of layered ternary telluride Nb3SiTe6. The temperature dependence of the thermoelectric power (TEP) evolves from nonlinear to linear when the thickness of the devices is reduced, consistent with the suppression of electron-phonon interaction caused by quantum confinement. The magnitude of TEP strongly depends on the hole density. It increases with decreasing hole density when the hole density is low, as observed in ionic-liquid-gated thin flakes. However, the device with the largest hole density possesses the highest TEP. Theoretical analysis suggests that the high TEP in the device with the largest hole density can be ascribed to the phonon-mediated intervalley scatterings. The highest TEP reaches ∼230μV/K at 370 K while the electrical resistivity of the device is maintained below 1.5mΩcm. Therefore, a large power factor PF ∼36μWcm−1K−2 comparable to the record values reported in p-type materials is obtained.

Many recent excellent methods for efficient real-time semantic segmentation are of low precision and heavily rely on multiple GPUs for training. In this paper, we rethink the critical factors affecting the accuracy of efficient segmentation models. The previous works usually reduce the input resolution prior to training the parameters of models by cropping or resizing the images. On the contrary, our empirical study shows that the reduced images lose the important content information and details, which are vital to the high precision. However, the previous methods are unable to train the original high-resolution images due to the memory-limited GPUs. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel versatile network (VNet), which employs reversible mechanism and asymmetric convolution to achieve highly efficient and extremely low memory consumption in backward propagation. In particular, we keep all the detailed spatial information of the input images without cropping or resizing to pursue decent prediction accuracy. It is worth noting that VNet can train multiple 1024×2048 high-resolution images on only one standard GPU card. Under the same conditions, our model achieves a new state-of-the-art result on Cityscapes datasets. Specifically, it can process the 1024×2048 high-resolution inputs at a rate of 37.4 and 15.5 frames per second (fps) on a standard GPU and an edge device, respectively, with only 0.16 million parameters.
