AlphaGo ja Monte Carlo -puuhaku
2017
Tässä tutkielmassa käsittelen Monte Carlo -puuhakualgoritmia sekä sen roolia hyvin menestyneessä AlphaGo-tekoälyssä. Tavoitteena oli muodostaa kokonaiskuva AlphaGo:n toiminnasta, painottuen etenkin Monte Carlo -puuhaun näkökulmaan. Tutkimuksen perusteella selvisi miten ohjelma hyödyntää omassa hakualgoritmissään kyseistä puuhakua, jota se parantaa hyödyntäen koneoppimista ja useita eri tarkoituksiin opetettuja neuroverkkoja. AlphaGo saavutti näin tehokkuuden, johon muut go-ohjelmat eivät vielä ole kyenneet. In this thesis I study the Monte Carlo tree search algorithm, and it’s role in successful go-program, AlphaGo. The goal was to form a general view of AlphaGo’s inner workings, especially…
Error estimation and reduction with cross correlations
2010
Besides the well-known effect of autocorrelations in time series of Monte Carlo simulation data resulting from the underlying Markov process, using the same data pool for computing various estimates entails additional cross correlations. This effect, if not properly taken into account, leads to systematically wrong error estimates for combined quantities. Using a straightforward recipe of data analysis employing the jackknife or similar resampling techniques, such problems can be avoided. In addition, a covariance analysis allows for the formulation of optimal estimators with often significantly reduced variance as compared to more conventional averages.
Computer simulations for bioequivalence trials: Selection of analyte in BCS class II and IV drugs with first-pass metabolism, two metabolic pathways …
2018
A semi-physiological two compartment pharmacokinetic model with two active metabolites (primary (PM) and secondary metabolites (SM)) with saturable and non-saturable pre-systemic efflux transporter, intestinal and hepatic metabolism has been developed. The aim of this work is to explore in several scenarios which analyte (parent drug or any of the metabolites) is the most sensitive to changes in drug product performance (i.e. differences in in vivo dissolution) and to make recommendations based on the simulations outcome. A total of 128 scenarios (2 Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) drug types, 2 levels of KM Pgp, in 4 metabolic scenarios at 2 dose levels in 4 quality levels of t…
QSAR Modeling ANTI-HIV-1 Activities by Optimization of Correlation Weights of Local Graph Invariants
2004
Results of using descriptors calculated with the correlation weights (CWs) of local graph invariants for modeling of anti-HIV-1 potencies of two groups of reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors are reported. Presence of different chemical elements in molecular structure of the inhibitors and the presence of Morgan extended connectivity values of zeroth-, first- and second order have been examined as local graph invariants in the labeled hydrogen-filled graphs. By Monte Carlo method optimization procedure, values of the CWs which produce as large values as possible of correlation coefficient between the numerical data on the anti-HIV-1 potencies and values of the descriptors on the training s…
Itô calculus extended to systems driven by -stable Lévy white noises (a novel clip on the tails of Lévy motion)
2007
Abstract The paper deals with probabilistic characterization of the response of non-linear systems under α -stable Levy white noise input. It is shown that, by properly selecting a clip in the probability density function of the input, the moments of the increments of Levy motion process remain all of the same order ( d t ) , like the increments of the Compound Poisson process. It follows that the Ito calculus extended to Poissonian input, may also be used for α -stable Levy white noise input processes. It is also shown that, when the clip on the tails of the probability of the increments of the Levy motion approaches to infinity, the Einstein–Smoluchowsky equation is restored. Once these c…
Theoretical electronic spectra of 2-aminopurine in vapor and in water
2006
The accurate quantum chemical CASSCF and CASPT2 methods combined with a Monte Carlo procedure to mimic solvation effects have been used in the calculation of the spectroscopic properties of two tautomers of 2-aminopurine (2AP). Absorption and emission spectra have been simulated both in vacuum and in aqueous environment. State and transition energies and properties have been obtained with high accuracy, leading to the assignment of the most important spectroscopic features. The lowest-lying 1 (,*) ( 1 La) state has been determined as responsible for the first band in the absorption spectrum and also for the strong fluorescence observed for the system in water. The combined approach used in …
Per una archeologia dello spazio sepolcrale
2021
Attraverso questo contributo si intende sviluppare una sperimentale “misurazione critica”, di tipo strutturalista, finalizzata all’individuazione dei “principi formali” sottesi al progetto architettonico della tomba Brion. Sulla base delle argomentazioni teoriche elaborate da Vittorio Ugo in riferimento al problema degli archetipi dell’architettura, si propone una “archeo-logia” del complesso sepolcrale, con lo scopo di effettuare una “classificazione” delle forme interne al monumento. Due le macro-famiglie alle quali si fanno appartenere gli archetipi individuati: quella dell’“archeologia della natura” e quella dell’ “archeologia dell’architettura.
1537-1538. Una nuova loggia per i Catalani? in: Nobile M.R., Scaduto F., Architettura e magnificenza nella Palermo del primo Cinquecento: il prospett…
2008
A una attenta analisi, la misteriosa facciata nota come prospetto della chiesa di Santa Eulalia dei Catalani a Palermo risulta essere il frammento superstite di una Loggia pubblica realizzata (e forse mai completata)a partire dalla fine degli anni trenta del Cinquecento. La comunità e i banchieri catalani presenti a Palermo sono certamente i promotori di una architettura all'antica che si avvia dopo il trionfale ingresso dell'imperatore Carlo V in città (1535). Lo studio di questo edificio e le ipotesi sulla spazialità interna risultano estremamente illuminanti per comprendere una fase architettonica ancora poco nota nella capitale del Regno di Sicilia.
Memory effects and coverage dependence of surface diffusion in a model adsorption system
1999
We study the coverage dependence of surface diffusion coefficients for a strongly interacting adsorption system O/W(110) via Monte Carlo simulations of a lattice-gas model. In particular, we consider the nature and emergence of memory effects as contained in the corresponding correlation factors in tracer and collective diffusion. We show that memory effects can be very pronounced deep inside the ordered phases and in regions close to first and second order phase transition boundaries. Particular attention is paid to the details of the time dependence of memory effects. The memory effect in tracer diffusion is found to decay following a power law after an initial transient period. This beha…
Modeling polyethylene with the bond fluctuation model
1997
This work presents an application of recently developed ideas about how to map real polymer systems onto abstract models. In our case the abstract model is the bond fluctuation model with a Monte Carlo dynamics. We study the temperature dependence of chain dimensions and of the self-diffusion behavior in the melt from high temperatures down to 200 K. The chain conformations are equilibrated over the whole temperature range, which is possible for the abstract type of model we use. The size of the chains as measured by the characteristic ratio is within 25% of experimental data. The simulated values of the chain self-diffusion coefficient have to be matched to experimental information at one …
