The effect of correlation between demands on hierarchical forecasting
The forecasting needs for inventory control purposes are hierarchical. For SKUs in a product family or a SKU stored across different depot locations, forecasts can be made from the individual series’ history or derived top-down. Many discussions have been found in the literature, but it is not clear under what conditions one approach is better than the other. Correlation between demands has been identified as a very important factor to affect the performance of the two approaches, but there has been much confusion on whether positive or negative correlation. This paper summarises the conflicting discussions in the literature, argues that it is negative correlation that benefits the top-down or grouping approach, and quantifies the effect of correlation through simulation experiments
Cosmological Constant as a Manifestation of the Hierarchy
There has been the suggestion that the cosmological constant as implied by
the dark energy is related to the well-known hierarchy between the Planck
scale, , and the Standard Model scale, . Here we
further propose that the same framework that addresses this hierarchy problem
must also address the smallness problem of the cosmological constant.
Specifically, we investigate the minimal supersymmetric (SUSY) extension of the
Randall-Sundrum model where SUSY-breaking is induced on the TeV brane and
transmitted into the bulk. We show that the Casimir energy density of the
system indeed conforms with the observed dark energy scale

A Comparison and Strategy of Semantic Segmentation on Remote Sensing Images
In recent years, with the development of aerospace technology, we use more
and more images captured by satellites to obtain information. But a large
number of useless raw images, limited data storage resource and poor
transmission capability on satellites hinder our use of valuable images.
Therefore, it is necessary to deploy an on-orbit semantic segmentation model to
filter out useless images before data transmission. In this paper, we present a
detailed comparison on the recent deep learning models. Considering the
computing environment of satellites, we compare methods from accuracy,
parameters and resource consumption on the same public dataset. And we also
analyze the relation between them. Based on experimental results, we further
propose a viable on-orbit semantic segmentation strategy. It will be deployed
on the TianZhi-2 satellite which supports deep learning methods and will be
lunched soon.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, ICNC-FSKD 201
