Circularity of Thermodynamical Material Networks: Indicators, Examples, and Algorithms
Federico Zocco
The transition towards a circular economy has gained importance over the last years since the traditional linear take-make-dispose paradigm is not sustainable in the long term. Rec…
Thermodynamical Material Networks for Modeling, Planning, and Control of Circular Material Flows
Federico Zocco, Pantelis Sopasakis, Beatrice Smyth +1
Waste production, carbon dioxide atmospheric accumulation, and dependence on finite natural resources are expressions of the unsustainability of the current industrial networks tha…
Lazy FSCA for Unsupervised Variable Selection
Federico Zocco, Marco Maggipinto, Gian Antonio Susto +1
Various unsupervised greedy selection methods have been proposed as computationally tractable approximations to the NP-hard subset selection problem. These methods rely on sequenti…
Material Measurement Units for a Circular Economy: Foundations through a Review
Federico Zocco, Seán McLoone, Beatrice Smyth
Long-term availability of minerals and industrial materials is a necessary condition for sustainable development as they are the constituents of any manufacturing product. To enhan…
Recovery of Linear Components: Reduced Complexity Autoencoder Designs
Federico Zocco, Seán McLoone
Reducing dimensionality is a key preprocessing step in many data analysis applications to address the negative effects of the curse of dimensionality and collinearity on model perf…
An Adaptive Memory Multi-Batch L-BFGS Algorithm for Neural Network Training
Federico Zocco, Seán McLoone
Motivated by the potential for parallel implementation of batch-based algorithms and the accelerated convergence achievable with approximated second order information a limited mem…
