  • Publication number: 20210056622
    Abstract: The present invention provides an optimal feature subset selection method in credit scoring based on Informedness coefficient. The present invention aims to solve the problem that the existing credit scoring system cannot ensure the strongest overall default identification ability and does not consider the correlation among features when selecting a set of features. With the maximum default identification ability of the Informedness coefficient of the credit score as the standard for optimizing a feature subset, with the decision variable that whether the feature is selected into a feature subset, with the maximum default identification ability of the Informedness coefficient as the objective function, and with the constraint condition that features reflecting information redundancy cannot be simultaneously selected to establish a 0-1 programming model, the optimal feature subset in credit scoring is selected.

  • Patent number: 10768738
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are electronic devices having piezoelectric haptic actuators to generate haptic output. The haptic actuators can be configured as a beam with a bendable material layer and a piezoelectric material layer the cause the beam to bend. The bending force can be increased by coupling a magnet to the beam and positioning a ferritic plate near the magnet. Alternatively, a ferritic plate can be attached to the beam, with the magnet positioned apart from, but near, the plate. The haptic actuator can have a two-sided piezoelectric configuration, having a piezoelectric layer on each side of the bendable material layer. A two-sided piezoelectric configuration can have a second magnet and ferritic plate pair on a side of the beam opposite the first. The haptic actuator may use electromagnets.
