Agent-Based Collaborative Random Search for Hyperparameter Tuning and Global Function Optimization
Abstract : Hyperparameter optimization is one of the most tedious yet crucial steps in training machine learning models. There are numerous methods for this vital model-building stage, ranging from domain-specific manual tuning guidelines suggested by the oracles to the utilization of general purpose black-box optimization techniques.
Practical Study of Recurrent Neural Networks for Efficient Real-Time Drone Sound Detection: A Review
4.1. Data Preparation Data preparation is an integral part of any deep-learning-based system. The Data Preparation section first started with collecting drone sounds from different scenarios, as shown in Figure 6. The main content of the database was created by testing the flights of DJI Phantom 1 and DJI Phantom 2 without and with a load at a distance of 2–100 m from the microphone. The microphone is placed on a table height of 75 cm.
Maintaining and Protecting Your Tires
By Eric Matson Tires may seem like an afterthought in fleet management, but they are highly engineered products that serve as critical contributors to equipment productivity. Fleet operators put a substantial investment in tires, and they should protect that investment by maintaining them to the best of their ability. There are specific tools that Goodyear offers to make tire management easier and more valuable. Fleets can first maintain their tires before they put them on equipment.
Sea sponge may help in the fight against TB
Tuberculosis is a difficult disease to treat, particularly as new strains of TB-causing bacteria become resistant to previously-effective antibiotics. Now, however, it appears that help may be coming from an unexpected source – a sea sponge. Led by Dr. Diana Quan, scientists from the Centenary Institute at Australia's University of Sydney started by collecting approximately 1,500 sponge samples off the coast of Queensland.
Own It, Grow It, Trade It
It’s 5 minutes before 5 PM on the last Friday of the month, and the market is going crazy. Hundreds of investors have turned in buy requests. A desperate seller calls from an airport to confirm a transaction. People are rushing around the trading floor to sign paperwork before the market closes. Another day on the New York Stock Exchange? Not quite. Welcome to the internal market for shares in employee-owned Science Applications International Corp.
Your Guide to Understanding Tire Science
Tires are often overlooked, but they are essential to the successful operation of many construction vehicles. They are incredibly sophisticated, highly engineered products that derive much of their performance power from two elements: compounding and tread design. Seemingly generic and nondescript rubber compounds are the building blocks of better tire performance.
Cut resistance, service hours or cool-running? - Mining Magazine
Goodyear’s Eric Matson explains how technology is taming the tyre performance triangle To the layman, tyres can appear to be simple objects that serve a basic function. Mining operations, on the other hand, understand that tyres are incredibly complex, highly engineered products that are very important to equipment productivity. As mine haul trucks sometimes run in severe conditions while carrying heavier loads, the need to optimise the tyre’s all-around performance increases.
5 Best Practices to Help You Achieve Optimal Tire Performance
The importance of tires to the successful operation of loaders, articulated dump trucks and other vehicles used on construction sites cannot be understated. Quite simply, tires play an irreplaceable role in helping vehicles accomplish their tasks. The following are five best practices that will help you achieve optimal tire performance. The benefits will flow right to your operation’s bottom line.

Boosting the productivity of knowledge workers
The key is identifying and addressing the barriers workers face in their daily interactions. Are you doing all that you can to enhance the productivity of your knowledge workers? It’s a simple question, but one that few senior executives can answer. Their confusion isn’t for lack of trying.
Harnessing the power of informal employee networks
Formalizing a company’s ad hoc peer groups can spur collaboration and unlock value. In any professional setting, networks flourish spontaneously: human nature, including mutual self-interest, leads people to share ideas and work together even when no one requires them to do so. As they connect around shared interests and knowledge, they may build networks that can range in size from fewer than a dozen colleagues and acquaintances to hundreds.
