Lightweight Cross-Lingual Sentence Representation Learning

Martin Jaggi, Prakhar Gupta, Zhuoyuan Mao

Large-scale models for learning fixed-dimensional cross-lingual sentence representations like LASER (Artetxe and Schwenk, 2019b) lead to significant improvement in performance on downstream tasks. However, further increases and modifications based on such ...

ASSOC COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS-ACL2021

Hydroelectric units can be operated in synchronous condenser mode to provide reactive power to the electrical power system (EPS) for voltage regulation. In this operating mode, the hydraulic turbine consumes active power and in case of hydroelectric units ...

Solid State Bus Tie Switch for Shipboard Power Distribution Networks

Drazen Dujic, Gabriele Ulissi

Recent trends in shipboard power distribution network design, such as the transition from AC to DC result in new challenges on the issue of distribution network protection. Devices such as a solid state bus tie switch provide a first line of defence agains ...

Reduced scale model testing for prediction of eigenfrequencies and hydro-acoustic resonances in hydropower plants operating in off-design conditions

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Sébastien Alligné, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior

The massive penetration of the electrical network by renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, pushes the operators to extend hydropower plant units operating range to meet the transmission system operator requirements. However, in off-design opera ...

Numerical Simulation of the Semi-Rigid Behaviour of Integrally Attached Timber Folded Surface Structures

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Anh Chi Nguyen, Andrea Stitic

Timber folded surface structures assembled using semi-rigid multiple tab and slot joints (MTSJ) have been shown to form feasible structural systems with high load bearing potential. However, for their further development and use on large building scales, a ...

How building energy models take the local climate into account in an urban context – A review

Dasaraden Mauree

The urban context is often simplified or neglected in Building Energy Models (BEMs) due to the difficulties of taking accurately into account all the heat fluxes emanating from the environment. Oversimplifying the urban context can impact the accuracy of t ...
