Because the number of positive examples was much smaller than that of negative examples, random undersampling of negative examples was applied to improve the performance of the highly imbalanced data (Tang et al. 2009).
The rest of G.E. had been divided into 11 other businesses, many of them -- lighting and appliances are examples -- much smaller than the new GE Capital units, yet each run by someone who reports directly to the chairman.
There are examples of much smaller armies beating larger ones, and one counterexample is enough to disconfirm a law.
It is worth pointing out that although the adaptive Algorithm 1 for multi-moment-matching PMOR methods resembles the greedy algorithm that is often used in the reduced basis method [6], the size of the training sets we used in numerical tests, which is 20 in all three examples, is much smaller than that typically used in reduced basis methods, which can easily reach 1,000 or even 10,000.
More suitable probes should be evaluated like for example the much smaller beta-probe, which detects directly the β+ particles [13].
In this way, the relatively large tumour cells can be selected over, for example, relatively much smaller inflammatory cells.
Small investors have different needs from big ones they trade less often, for example, and place much smaller orders.
"A sales rep in a large corporation, for example, has a much smaller territory to cover and naturally spends fewer nights in fewer places, whereas at a small company, say in the Pacific Northwest, that rep makes a lot more individual trips — Portland, Seattle, into Montana.
This is particularly evident with Dirichlet conditions on a stiff material, where the norm of the boundary displacement (for example) may be much smaller than the updated residual due to stiffness in the material.
A large, highly accurate teacher could also be used to relabel examples for training a much smaller student network.
For example, local chickens are much smaller and more expensive than their imported cousins.
