We investigate the double diffusive convection between two parallel plates with either no-slip or free-slip boundary conditions. Direct numerical simulations have been conducted systematically for a series of control parameters. Salt fingers can be observed for both boundary conditions and all parameters explored. Compared to the no-slip case,...conference paper 2015

Yang, D. (author), Sun, Y (author), Di Stefano, D. (author), Turrin, M. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)Surrogate-based Optimization is a useful approach when the objective function is computationally expensive to evaluate, compared to Simulation-based Optimization. In the surrogate-based method, analytically tractable “surrogate models” (also known as “Response Surface Models — RSMs” or “metamodels”), are constructed and validated for each...conference paper 2016

Sun, Zhu (author), Yang, J. (author), Zhang, Jie (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Chen, Yu (author), Xu, Chi (author)Representation learning (RL) has recently proven to be effective in capturing local item relationships by modeling item co-occurrence in individual user's interaction record. However, the value of RL for recommendation has not reached the full potential due to two major drawbacks: 1) recommendation is modeled as a rating prediction problem...conference paper 2017

Sun, Zhu (author), Yang, J. (author), Zhang, J. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Huang, Long Kai (author), Xu, Chi (author)Knowledge graphs (KGs) have proven to be effective to improve recommendation. Existing methods mainly rely on hand-engineered features from KGs (e.g., meta paths), which requires domain knowledge. This paper presents RKGE, a KG embedding approach that automatically learns semantic representations of both entities and paths between entities...conference paper 2018

Yang, D. (author), Sun, Yimin (author), Di Stefano, D. (author), Turrin, M. (author)The comparison of various competing design concepts during conceptual architectural design is commonly needed for achieving a good final concept. For this, computational design exploration is a key approach. Unfortunately, most<br/>of existing research tends to skip this crucial process, and purely focuses on the late-stage design optimization...conference paper 2017
