Wood is a renewable, abundant bio-energy and environment friendly resource. Woody biomass Moisture Content (MC) is a key parameter for controlling the biofuel product qualities and properties. In this paper, we are interested in predicting MC from data. The input impedance of half-wave dipole antenna when buried in the wood pile varies according to the permittivity of wood. Hence, the measurement of reflection coefficient, that gives information about the input impedance, depends directly on the MC of wood. The relationship between the reflection coefficient measurements and the MC is studied. Based upon this relationship, MC predictive models that use machine learning techniques and feature selection methods are proposed. Numerical experiments using real world data show the relevance of the proposed approach that requires a limited computational power. Therefore, a real-time implementation for industrial processes is feasible. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Direct observation of electric charges at solid/liquid interfaces with the pressure-wave-propagation method

Assane Ndour, Stephane Hole, Paul Leblanc, Thierry Paillat

Summary: This study examines the development of intrinsic electric charges at solid/liquid interfaces using the pressure-wave-propagation (PWP) method. The experimental results show that salted water presents larger charge extent than expected, copper generates more charges in still conditions with glycerol, and pressboard has the largest charge extent. In flowing conditions, signal decrease is attributed to physico-chemical time constant.

Study of contact conditions at conductor/insulator interfaces used in space charge distribution measurements

Lin Zheng, Stephane Hole

Summary: This paper investigates charge injection in dielectrics under high voltage and finds that space charge distribution measurements can be influenced by the chosen interface conditions. The study shows that different mounting methods of an insulating polymer (polyethylene) in the measurement setup result in different intrinsic dipoles at the interfaces, which generate interface voltages that interact with energy levels and injection laws. The minimal dipoles occur when the polymer is mounted with hot-pressed carbon-loaded polymer electrodes or coupled with silicone oil and carbon-loaded EVA electrodes. In contrast, aluminum coating or direct contact with aluminum in the presence of silicone oil generates large dipoles compared to gel coupling or gold coating. The experiments were conducted using an ultra-sensitive pressure-wave-propagation measurement setup with low electric field for calibration. Aluminum and stainless steel were used in the setup wave-guide to assess their influence.

3D-KCPNet: Efficient 3DCNNs based on tensor mapping theory

Rui Lv, Dingheng Wang, Jiangbin Zheng, Zhao-Xu Yang

Summary: In this paper, the authors investigate tensor decomposition for neural network compression. They analyze the convergence and precision of tensor mapping theory, validate the rationality of tensor mapping and its superiority over traditional tensor approximation based on the Lottery Ticket Hypothesis. They propose an efficient method called 3D-KCPNet to compress 3D convolutional neural networks using the Kronecker canonical polyadic (KCP) tensor decomposition. Experimental results show that 3D-KCPNet achieves higher accuracy compared to the original baseline model and the corresponding tensor approximation model.

Confidence-based interactable neural-symbolic visual question answering

Yajie Bao, Tianwei Xing, Xun Chen

Summary: Visual question answering requires processing multi-modal information and effective reasoning. Neural-symbolic learning is a promising method, but current approaches lack uncertainty handling and can only provide a single answer. To address this, we propose a confidence based neural-symbolic approach that evaluates NN inferences and conducts reasoning based on confidence.
