[02415] Propagation of epistemic uncertainty though a multi-layerd geometrically exact beam

  • Session Date & Time : 4E (Aug.24, 17:40-19:20)
  • Type : Contributed Talk
  • Abstract : Uncertainty is ever-present in engineering. In this work, we demonstrate the effect of parameter uncertainty on a carbon spring prosthetic foot. The prosthesis is built with multiple layers of carbon fibre laminate. This layered structure is accounted for via homogenisation of the material parameters in the geometrically exact beam model of the prosthesis. Homogenising the material parameters introduces additional uncertainty. The resulting uncertain deformation envelopes and stored energy envelopes are examined.

[02584] Malmquist Productivity Index under Fuzzy Environment

  • Session Date & Time : 4E (Aug.24, 17:40-19:20)
  • Type : Contributed Talk
  • Abstract : Malmquist productivity index (MPI) is widely used to estimate the productivity change by calculating the relative performance of homogeneous organizations for different time periods using data envelopment analysis (DEA). Although in real-world applications, traditional MPI method is tedious due to ambiguous or imprecise data. Thus, traditional DEA is integrated with fuzzy. In this study, novel integrated MPI method is proposed under fuzzy environment. To show the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed model, numerical example is also discussed.

[00972] Reducing Communication in Federated Learning with Variance Reduction Methods

  • Session Date & Time : 4E (Aug.24, 17:40-19:20)
  • Type : Contributed Talk
  • Abstract : In Federated Learning $\text{(}$FL$\text{)}$, inter-client heterogeneity and partial participation of clients at each communication cause client sampling error. We control this client sampling error by developing a novel single-loop variance reduction algorithm. While sampling a small number of clients, the proposed FL algorithms require provably fewer or at least equivalent communication rounds compared to any existing method, for finding first and even second-order stationarypoints in the general nonconvex setting, and under the PL condition.

[01125] Generalized Optimization Algorithms for $M$-Estimation of Complex Simulation Models

  • Session Date & Time : 4E (Aug.24, 17:40-19:20)
  • Type : Contributed Talk
  • Abstract : We provide a new optimization algorithm for simulation-based models with highly irregular objective functions, like those of network or agent-based models. The approximate inexact Newton method (AINM) is based on approximating the first two derivatives of the function through a polynomial regression. We provide new general results concerning approximate Netwon methods, we extensively discuss the theoretical and computational aspects of the AINM, and support the theory by Monte Carlo experiments and two applications.

[02367] Applying the 2 Steps SLP method to the UC-ACOPF problem

  • Session Date & Time : 4E (Aug.24, 17:40-19:20)
  • Type : Contributed Talk
  • Abstract : The Unit Commitment (UC) problem is a widely used tool for the daily management of power transmission networks in modern economies. While the classical UC is a mixed-integer linear problem, when the AC Power Flow (ACPF) equations are included as constraints it becomes a mixed-integer nonlinear problem (MINLP). The 2-Step SLP method has been successfully applied to solving MINLP problems for gas networks, and here we will analyze its performance for power networks.
