In recent years, more res earch focused on nonparallelSVM, where twin SVM (TWSVM) is the typical one.” Funders for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China ( NSFC), ShenzhenMunicipal Science and Technology Innovation Council.Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Shenzhen University, “I n order to reducethe influence of outliers, more robust distance measurements a re considered in these methods, but thediscriminability of the models is neglec ted. In this article, we propose robust manifold twin bounded SVM(RMTBSVM), whi ch considers both robustness and discriminability. Specifically, a novel norm, t hat is,capped L-1-norm, is used as the distance metric for robustness, and a ro bust manifold regularization isadded to further improve the robustness and clas sification performance. In addition, we also use the kernelmethod to extend the proposed RMTBSVM for nonlinear classification. We introduce the optimization problems of the proposed model. Subsequently, effective algorithms for both linear and nonlinear cases areproposed and proved to be convergent. Moreover, the exp eriments are conducted to verify the effectivenessof our model.”

According to news reporting out ofWuhan, People’s Republic of China, by New sRx editors, research stated, “Understanding whether andhow encountering servic e robots influences hospitality consumption emotions helps identify the psychological effects and appropriate scenarios of robotic adoption. Anthropomorphic and humanlike features arewidely applied to strengthen the social impact of robots , but they are still considered non-human socialagents.”Financial support for this research came from National Social Science Founda- ti on, PRC.Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Zhongnan Univer sity of Economics& Law, “We argue that customers have dehumanized cognition of service robots, which induces fewersocial constraints and greater perceived autonomy in hospitality service encounters. Five experimentalstudies were adopted to test the underlying mechanism through which service robots infl uence customers’consumption emotions by increasing their perceived autonomy und er various boundary conditions. Ourresults illustrate that, compared with human servants, customers experienced more positive consumptionemotions with service robots. This effect is eliminated when interpersonal pressure from peer customersis perceived.”

According to news reporting originatingfrom Xi’an, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Robotic machiningsystems ha ve been widely implemented in the assembly sites of large components of aircraft , such aswings, aircraft engine rooms, and wing boxes. Milling is the first ste p in aircraft assembly.”Financial supporters for this research include Key Research and Development Prog ram of ShaanxiProvince, China Postdoctoral Science Foundation.Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Northwestern Polytechni c University, “It isconsidered one of the most significant processes because th e quality of the subsequent drilling, broaching,and riveting steps depend stron gly on the milling accuracy. However, the chatter phenomenon mayoccur during th e milling process because of the low rigidity of the components of the robotic m illingsystem (i.e., robots, shape-preserving holders, and rod parts). This may result in milling failure or evenfracture of the robotic milling system. This p aper presents a feasible spindle speed interval identificationmethod for large aeronautical component milling systems to eliminate the chatter phenomenon. It i sbased on the chatter stability model and the analysis results of natural frequ ency and harmonic response.Firstly, the natural frequencies and harmonics of th e main components of the robot milling system areanalyzed, and the spindle spee d that the milling system needs to avoid is obtained. Then, a flutter stabilitymodel considering the instantaneous cutting thickness is established, from which the critical cutting depthcorresponding to the spindle speed can be obtained. Finally, the spindle speed interval of the robotic millingsystem could be optim ized based on the results obtained from the chatter stability model and the analysis result of the natural frequency and harmonic response of the milling system.”

    New Findings on Machine Learning from Earth and Environmental Sciences Division Summarized (Efficient Prediction of Hydrogen Storage Performance In Depleted Gas Reservoirs Using Machine Learning)

    106-107页

According to news reportingfrom Los Alamos, New Mexico, by New sRx journalists, research stated, “Underground hydrogen (H2)storage (UHS) has e merged as a promising technology to facilitate the widespread adoption of fluctu atingrenewable energy sources. However, the current UHS experience primarily fo cuses on salt caverns, withno working examples of storing pure H2 in porous res ervoirs.”Funders for this research include Los Alamos National Laboratory, Laboratory Dir ected Research andDevelopment (LDRD) program.The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Earth and Enviro nmental SciencesDivision, “A key challenge in UHS within porous rocks is the un certainty in evaluating storage performancedue to complicated geological and op erational conditions. While physics -based reservoir simulationsare commonly us ed to quantify H2 injection and withdrawal processes during storage cycles, they arecomputationally demanding and unsuitable for providing rapid support to UHS operations. In this study,we develop efficient reduced -order models (ROMs) fo r UHS in depleted natural gas reservoirs using deepneural networks (DNNs) based on comprehensive reservoir simulation data sets. The ROMs can accuratelyforeca st UHS performance metrics (H2 withdrawal efficiency, produced H2 purity, produc ed gas -waterratio) across various geological and operational conditions and ar e over 22000 times faster than physics-based simulations. Then, we employ the R OMs for sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of geologicaland operational parameters on UHS performance and conduct uncertainty quantification to characte rizepotential performance and associated probabilities. Lastly, we present a fi eld case study from the Dakotaformation of the Basin field in the Intermountain -West (I -WEST) region, USA. Based on the ROMs’predictions, Dakota formation i s favorable for UHS due to its high H2 withdrawal efficiency and purity,and low water production risk. By optimizing operational parameters, we can further imp rove the storageperformance in Dakota formation and reduce the uncertainty in U HS performance prediction.”
