Pole-fitting for complex functions: Enhancing standard techniques by artificial-neural-network classifiers and regressors *

Siegfried Kaidisch, Thomas U. Hilger, Andreas Krassnigg, Wolfgang Lucha

Summary: Motivated by a use case in theoretical hadron physics, this paper revisits an application of a pole-sum fit to dressing functions of a confined quark propagator. Specifically, it investigates approaches to determine the number and positions of singularities closest to the origin for a function known numerically on a specific grid on the positive real axis. Comparing the efficiency of standard techniques to a pure artificial-neural-network approach and a combination of both, it finds that the combined approach is more efficient. This approach can be applied to similar situations where the positions of poles need to be estimated quickly and reliably from real-axis information alone.

A methodological and theoretical framework for implementing explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) in business applications

Dieudonne Tchuente, Jerry Lonlac, Bernard Kamsu-Foguem

Summary: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in various sectors of society. However, the black box nature of most AI techniques such as Machine Learning (ML) hinders their practical application. This has led to the emergence of Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), which aims to provide AI-based decision-making processes and outcomes that are easily understood, interpreted, and justified by humans. While there has been a significant amount of research on XAI, there is currently a lack of studies on its practical applications. To address this research gap, this article proposes a comprehensive review of the business applications of XAI and a six-step framework to improve its implementation and adoption by practitioners.

Anfeng Hu, Senlin Xie, Zhirong Xiao, Xunjian Hu, Meihui Wang, Yuan Chen, Yiyang Chen

Summary: This paper presents a novel analytical solution for the consolidation behavior of viscoelastic saturated soft soil under large-scale ground loading. The study shows that the soil permeability coefficient, Newtonian viscosity coefficient, and Hooke's spring modulus have significant influences on the dissipation of excess pore water pressure and the degree of consolidation. The permeability condition of the tunnel also affects the distribution of excess pore water pressure in the soil layer above the tunnel.
