Identification of transformer overload and new energy planning for enterprises based on load forecasting

by Longjin Lv, Yuxian Han

The new energy system constructed by energy storage and photovoltaic power generation system can effectively solve the problem of transformer overload operation in some enterprises. It can not only reduce the cost of electricity, but also realize low-carbon emission reduction. However, due to its low return on investment, the willingness of enterprises to install new energy is not high. In this paper, we first establish a load forecasting model to users whose transformers... Читать дальше...

The art of seeing the elephant in the room: 2D embeddings of single-cell data do make sense

by Jan Lause, Philipp Berens, Dmitry Kobak

A recent paper claimed that t-SNE and UMAP embeddings of single-cell datasets are “specious” and fail to capture true biological structure. The authors argued that such embeddings are as arbitrary and as misleading as forcing the data into an elephant shape. Here we show that this conclusion was based on inadequate and limited metrics of embedding quality. More appropriate metrics quantifying neighborhood and class preservation reveal the elephant in the room... Читать дальше...

The momentum has shifted.

The Royals won 86 games in the regular season, fewer than any team in the post-season except the Tigers. Twelve of those wins came against the embarrassing White Sox - the Royals went 74-75 against everyone else. For most of the year, they had one of the worst bullpen in baseball, and in September they had THE worst offense in baseball.

None of that matters now.

The Royals in the big dance, and everyone’s record is 0-0 now. Читать дальше...
