TL;DR: This paper develops an algorithm capable of determining the step-changes in signals that occur whenever a device is turned on or off, and which allows for the definition of a unique signature (ID) for each device.

TL;DR: A novel way to look into the issue of energy disaggregation is to interpret it as a single-channel source separation problem, and the performance of source modeling based on multiway arrays and the corresponding decomposition or tensor factorization is analyzed.

TL;DR: This work presents the development of an algorithm for electrical feature extraction and pattern recognition, capable of determining the individual consumption of each device from the aggregate electric signal of the home.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the ordered probit model to examine the contribution of several factors to the injury severity faced by motor-vehicle occupants involved in road accidents, and found that occupants travelling in light-vehicles, at two-way roads, and on dry road surfaces tend to suffer more severe injuries than those who travel in heavy vehicles, at oneway roads and on wet road surfaces.

TL;DR: In the hospitality industry, demand forecast accuracy is highly impacted by booking cancellations, which makes demand management decisions difficult and risky as discussed by the authors, which makes it difficult to make demand forecasting decisions.
