Abstract: Phosphor, a preparation method for the phosphor, and a light emitting device having the phosphor. The phosphor comprises an inorganic compound which at least comprises an element M, an element A, an element D, and an element R; the element M is one or two elements selected from the group consisting of Lu, La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Y, Tb, and Gd and must comprise Lu; the element A is Si and/or Ge; the element D is one or two elements selected from the group consisting of O, N, and F and must comprise N; the element R is Ce and/or Dy.

In order to reduce lattice distortion due to the ligand site contraction, the adjacent ligand site expands, and the photochromic property is adjusted.

Abstract: A technique for training a machine learning model can use time-series data sampled from a population. The training includes creating a training set comprising feature vectors and corresponding labels generated using the time-series data. In some embodiments, for example, the feature vectors can include time-based features generated from the time-series data that preserves time information contained in the time-series data. The labels can be generated using data within a fixed period of time in the time-series data relative to a cut-off date. In some embodiments, the data used to create the training set can use a moving window sampling of the population to account for seasonal effects in the time-series data, where the cut-off date for generating the label varies from one sample to the next.
