The document discusses the Loch Ness Monster sightings in Loch Ness, Scotland. Loch Ness is a large freshwater lake known for reported sightings of a mysterious creature called "Nessie". The first recorded sighting was in 565 AD by Saint Columba, with over 2000 reported sightings since. Descriptions of Nessie resemble a plesiosaur. Ancient Pict legends and carvings also depicted a similar lake monster. While photos have been taken, no conclusive proof of the Loch Ness Monster's existence has been found.
Predictability of the Dynamic Mode Decomposition in Coastal ProcessesRuo-Qian (Roger) Wang
Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) is a model order reduction technique that helps reduce the complexity and high dimensionality of computational models. Since each decomposed mode has only a single frequency, the result of DMD is frequently easier to interpret physically than the conventional Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). The DMD can also produce the eigenvalues of each mode to show the trend of the mode, establishing the rate of growth or decay, but the original DMD cannot produce the contributing weights of the modes. As a result, a challenge with the technique is selecting the important modes to build a reduced order model.
DMD variants have been developed to estimate the weights of each mode in the DMD. One of the popular methods is called Optimal Mode Decomposition (OMD). This method decomposes the data matrix into a product of the DMD modes, the diagonal weight matrix, and the Vandermonde matrix by minimizing the error between this product and the original data. The weight matrix can be used to rank the importance of the mode contributions and ultimately leads to the reduced order model for prediction and controlling purpose.
We are currently applying DMD and OMD to a large-scale numerical simulation of the San Francisco Bay, which features complicated coastal geometry, multiple frequency components, and high periodicity. Since DMD defines modes with specific frequencies, we expect DMD would produce a good approximation of the original model, but the preliminary results show that the predictability of the DMD is poor if unimportant modes are dropped according to the OMD. We are currently testing other DMD variants and will report our findings in the presentation.

Deep Learning and Business Models
Tran Quoc Hoan discusses deep learning and its applications, as well as potential business models. Deep learning has led to significant improvements in areas like image and speech recognition compared to traditional machine learning. Some business models highlighted include developing deep learning frameworks, building hardware optimized for deep learning, using deep learning for IoT applications, and providing deep learning APIs and services. Deep learning shows promise across many sectors but also faces challenges in fully realizing its potential.
The document provides an overview of a two-part introduction to basic computer concepts (計概) for information management students. It discusses common terminology to help students understand what to focus on for the exam. It also introduces the first part of a diagnostic test on basic computer concepts for students who are studying diligently.
