Resource Constrained Structured Prediction
We study the problem of structured prediction under test-time budget
constraints. We propose a novel approach applicable to a wide range of
structured prediction problems in computer vision and natural language
processing. Our approach seeks to adaptively generate computationally costly
features during test-time in order to reduce the computational cost of
prediction while maintaining prediction performance. We show that training the
adaptive feature generation system can be reduced to a series of structured
learning problems, resulting in efficient training using existing structured
learning algorithms. This framework provides theoretical justification for
several existing heuristic approaches found in literature. We evaluate our
proposed adaptive system on two structured prediction tasks, optical character
recognition (OCR) and dependency parsing and show strong performance in
reduction of the feature costs without degrading accuracy
Fully Adaptive Newton-Galerkin Methods for Semilinear Elliptic Partial Differential Equations
In this paper we develop an adaptive procedure for the numerical solution of
general, semilinear elliptic problems with possible singular perturbations. Our
approach combines both a prediction-type adaptive Newton method and an adaptive
finite element discretization (based on a robust a posteriori error analysis),
thereby leading to a fully adaptive Newton-Galerkin scheme. Numerical
experiments underline the robustness and reliability of the proposed approach
for different examples
Wrinkling prediction with adaptive mesh refinement
An adaptive mesh refinement procedure for wrinkling prediction analyses is presented. First the\ud
critical values are determined using Hutchinson’s bifurcation functional. A wrinkling risk factor is then\ud
defined and used to determined areas of potential wrinkling risk. Finally, a mesh refinement is operate
An -Adaptive Newton-Galerkin Finite Element Procedure for Semilinear Boundary Value Problems
In this paper we develop an -adaptive procedure for the numerical
solution of general, semilinear elliptic boundary value problems in 1d, with
possible singular perturbations. Our approach combines both a prediction-type
adaptive Newton method and an -version adaptive finite element
discretization (based on a robust a posteriori residual analysis), thereby
leading to a fully -adaptive Newton-Galerkin scheme. Numerical experiments
underline the robustness and reliability of the proposed approach for various
examples.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1408.522
Adaptive scanning - a proposal how to scan theoretical predictions over a multi-dimensional parameter space efficiently
A method is presented to exploit adaptive integration algorithms using
importance sampling, like VEGAS, for the task of scanning theoretical
predictions depending on a multi-dimensional parameter space. Usually, a
parameter scan is performed with emphasis on certain features of a theoretical
prediction. Adaptive integration algorithms are well-suited to perform this
task very efficiently. Predictions which depend on parameter spaces with many
dimensions call for such an adaptive scanning algorithm.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
Nonlinear predictive control applied to steam/water loop in large scale ships
In steam/water loop for large scale ships, there are mainly five sub-loops posing different dynamics in the complete process. When optimization is involved, it is necessary to select different prediction horizons for each loop. In this work, the effect of prediction horizon for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system is studied. Firstly, Nonlinear Extended Prediction Self-Adaptive Controller (NEPSAC) is designed for the steam/water loop system. Secondly, different prediction horizons are simulated within the NEPSAC algorithm. Based on simulation results, we conclude that specific tuning of prediction horizons based on loop’s dynamic outperforms the case when a trade-off is made and a single valued prediction horizon is used for all the loops
