A smoothed four-node piezoelectric element for analysis of two-dimensional smart structures
This paper reports a study of linear elastic analysis of two-dimensional piezoelectric structures using a smoothed four-node piezoelectric element. The element is built by incorporating the strain smoothing method of mesh-free conforming nodal integration into the standard four-node quadrilateral piezoelectric finite element. The approximations of mechanical strains and electric potential fields are normalized using a constant smoothing function. This allows the field gradients to be directly computed from shape functions. No mapping or coordinate transformation is necessary so that the element can be used in arbitrary shapes. Through several examples, the simplicity, efficiency and reliability of the element are demonstrated. Numerical results and comparative studies with
other existing solutions in the literature suggest that the present element is robust, computationally inexpensive and easy to implement
An improved quadrilateral flat element with drilling degrees of freedom for shell structural analysis
This paper reports the development of a simple and
efficient 4-node flat shell element with six degrees of freedom per node for the analysis of arbitrary shell structures. The element is developed by incorporating a strain smoothing technique into a flat shell finite element approach. The membrane part is formulated by
applying the smoothing operation on a quadrilateral membrane element using Allman-type interpolation functions with drilling DOFs. The plate-bending component is established by a combination of the smoothed curvature and the substitute shear strain fields. As a result, the bending and a part of membrane stiffness matrices are
computed on the boundaries of smoothing cells which leads to very accurate solutions, even with distorted meshes, and possible reduction in computational cost. The performance of the proposed element is validated and demonstrated through several numerical benchmark problems. Convergence studies and comparison with other
existing solutions in the literature suggest that the present element is efficient, accurate and free of lockings
Quasi-Relative Interiors for Graphs of Convex Set-Valued Mappings
This paper aims at providing further studies of the notion of quasi-relative
interior for convex sets introduced by Borwein and Lewis. We obtain new
formulas for representing quasi-relative interiors of convex graphs of
set-valued mappings and for convex epigraphs of extended-real-valued functions
defined on locally convex topological vector spaces. We also show that the
role, which this notion plays in infinite dimensions and the results obtained
in this vein, are similar to those involving relative interior in
finite-dimensional spaces.Comment: This submission replaces our previous version
Analysis of the Impact of Urbanization and Enhanced Incomes on Demand for Food Quality in Hanoi
This study relates the demand for quality foods in Hanoi in terms of its nutritional composition, diversity, price, processing stage, source, and extent eaten outside home with urbanization and enhanced incomes. The vast differences in these foods quality parameters across different socioeconomic groups and regions in and around Hanoi city suggest the changing nature of the food quality with increased income and urbanization. One lesson learned from this analysis is that urbanization and increased income may not necessarily bring all positive changes in food quality. While the diet becomes more balanced in terms of micronutrient, the increased demand for fat-based calories, processed and restaurant foods, and drift away from fresh sources of farm and home-garden foods raised alarm for food quality and safety. These trends provide a space for government policies to intervene for the purpose of maintaining hygiene standards of food and public health.Demand and Price Analysis, Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety,
Link Prediction for Wikipedia Articles as a Natural Language Inference Task
Link prediction task is vital to automatically understanding the structure of
large knowledge bases. In this paper, we present our system to solve this task
at the Data Science and Advanced Analytics 2023 Competition "Efficient and
Effective Link Prediction" (DSAA-2023 Competition) with a corpus containing
948,233 training and 238,265 for public testing. This paper introduces an
approach to link prediction in Wikipedia articles by formulating it as a
natural language inference (NLI) task. Drawing inspiration from recent
advancements in natural language processing and understanding, we cast link
prediction as an NLI task, wherein the presence of a link between two articles
is treated as a premise, and the task is to determine whether this premise
holds based on the information presented in the articles. We implemented our
system based on the Sentence Pair Classification for Link Prediction for the
Wikipedia Articles task. Our system achieved 0.99996 Macro F1-score and 1.00000
Macro F1-score for the public and private test sets, respectively. Our team
UIT-NLP ranked 3rd in performance on the private test set, equal to the scores
of the first and second places. Our code is publicly for research purposes.Comment: Accepted at the 10th IEEE International Conference On Data Science

ViSoBERT: A Pre-Trained Language Model for Vietnamese Social Media Text Processing
English and Chinese, known as resource-rich languages, have witnessed the
strong development of transformer-based language models for natural language
processing tasks. Although Vietnam has approximately 100M people speaking
Vietnamese, several pre-trained models, e.g., PhoBERT, ViBERT, and vELECTRA,
performed well on general Vietnamese NLP tasks, including POS tagging and named
entity recognition. These pre-trained language models are still limited to
Vietnamese social media tasks. In this paper, we present the first monolingual
pre-trained language model for Vietnamese social media texts, ViSoBERT, which
is pre-trained on a large-scale corpus of high-quality and diverse Vietnamese
social media texts using XLM-R architecture. Moreover, we explored our
pre-trained model on five important natural language downstream tasks on
Vietnamese social media texts: emotion recognition, hate speech detection,
sentiment analysis, spam reviews detection, and hate speech spans detection.
Our experiments demonstrate that ViSoBERT, with far fewer parameters, surpasses
the previous state-of-the-art models on multiple Vietnamese social media tasks.
Our ViSoBERT model is available only for research purposes.Comment: Accepted at EMNLP'2023 Main Conferenc
