In computer science, mutual exclusion(MUTEX) refers to a way of making sure that if one process is using shared modifiable data or resources then the other processes will be excluded from doing the same thing at the same time. A number of mutual exclusion algorithms are available in the literature, with different performance metrics and with different techniques.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mathématiques informatiques
  • Programmes et programmation (Informatique)
CONT

Pour mettre en place un algorithme d'exclusion mutuelle, les processus doivent obligatoirement communiquer. Ils peuvent alors communiquer de deux façons : soit par l'intermédiaire d'une mémoire partagée (principalement rencontré dans le système d'exploitation d'une machine), soit par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau par passage de messages (principalement rencontré dans les systèmes répartis comme les clusters, les grilles ou les nuages).

During training, the training dataset is used to train the model. Periodically, data from the validation dataset is fed through the model, and the loss is calculated... By comparing the training and validation loss(and accuracy, or whichever other metrics are available) over time, you can see whether the model is overfitting.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Methods
  • Epidemiology
CONT

Pooled analysis is a method frequently used in epidemiology when individual studies are too small to allow any definite conclusion.

CONT

Pooled analysis, considered the gold standard for synthesizing results from multiple studies, allows for comparison across different metrics and studies, free of artifacts introduced by analytical differences, and for derivation of statistically more stable results... Pooled analysis uses raw data from the component studies and thus can apply identical analyses to all included studies. The choices of, for example, cut points, reference groups, and metrics in a pooled analysis may differ from the choices made in the original studies and may result in changes in the study-specific effect estimates. Despite strengths, results from the pooled analysis are prone to the same biaises operating in the original studies.
