Seniors learn best when they’re taught the same way that is best for children and younger adults – with active participation, meaningful discussions, and material that feels relevant. One can learn ...

ABSTRACT: Traditional linear program (LP) models are deterministic. The way that constraint limit uncertainty is handled is to compute the range of feasibility. After the optimal solution is obtained, ...

Abstract: Derivative free optimization algorithms are often used when it is difficult to find function derivatives, or if finding such derivatives are time consuming. The Nelder Mead's simplex method ...

Abstract: Quantile is one of the major metrics used in risk management. Since qauantile represents the downside risk. In this paper, we present a new variant of Nelder-Mead method (NM) for ...

Bellow, you can find a toy demonstration where we make a corpus decomposition of test examples representations. All the relevant code can be found in the file simplex. We get a tensor weights that can ...

Computer-generated images are everywhere in movies, video games, and VR. This course is an introduction to the techniques to animate objects in computer graphics based on the law of physics. The aim ...

What began with a focus on weather forecasting has evolved toward addressing errors in scientific modeling. In the collaborative environment of the Penn State Institute for Computational and Data ...

This evening meeting brings together a distinguished panel of geotechnical industry leaders to collectively demystify the observational method. Each panellist will offer insights based on extensive ...
