For many materials, macroscopic mechanical behavior is determined by an intricate microstructure. Understanding the relation between these two scales helps scientists and engineers design better mater...
Machine Translation (MT) and automatic MT evaluation have improved dramatically in recent years, enabling numerous novel applications. Automatic evaluation techniques have evolved from producing scala...
Dynamical systems reconstruction (DSR) aims to learn surrogate models that capture the dynamics underlying time-series data. Reliably deploying these surrogates requires uncertainty estimates consiste...
Understanding the cellular composition of complex tissues, such as tumors, is a key challenge in biology and medicine. A common approach, known as deconvolution, aims to estimate the cellular composit...
Model averaging, as an appealing ensemble technique, strategically integrates all valuable information from candidate models to construct fast and accurate prediction. Despite of having been widely pr...
While reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) significantly enhances LLM reasoning by optimizing the conditional distribution P(y|x), its potential is fundamentally bounded by the base m...
Geostatistics aims to infer a spatially continuous phenomenon from observations collected at a finite number of locations, frequently measured with error. Whenever there is stochastic dependence betwe...
Modern studies increasingly leverage outcomes predicted by machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI/ML) models, and recent work, such as prediction-powered inference (PPI), has developed valid...
Many biological processes exhibit oscillatory behavior. Among these, glycolytic oscillations have been extensively studied due to their well-characterized biochemical reaction networks. However, the c...
Life sciences research depends heavily on open-source academic software, yet many tools remain underused due to practical barriers. These include installation requirements that hinder adoption and lim...
The direct imaging of potentially habitable exoplanets is one prime science case for high-contrast imaging instruments on extremely large telescopes. Most such exoplanets orbit close to their host sta...
We document the rise of negative earnings between 1980 and 2019: a secular increase in the percent of firms reporting losses, both among public firms and in the broader universe of US corporations, an...
Migration is reshaping demographic landscapes across Europe, raising urgent questions about adapting to rapid population changes. This study examines the canton of Fribourg, Switzerland, which experie...
In the last years, an anomalously high spreading of West Nile virus (WNV) has been observed in Italy, with particularly high peaks of infections in southern Lazio, Campania and Veneto regions. The mai...
Identifying critical nodes in complex networks is a fundamental task in graph mining. Yet, methods addressing an all-or-nothing coverage mechanics in a bipartite dependency network, a graph with two t...
Learning universal representations from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is a cutting-edge approach in the field of neuroinformatics and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Conventionally, EEG is trea...
As a general and robust alternative to traditional mean regression models, quantile regression avoids the assumption of normally distributed errors, making it a versatile choice when modeling outcomes...
In this paper we study optimal exit strategies of gamblers with cumulative prospect theory (CPT) preferences in games where the expected payoff is strictly negative at each play, and formulate the pro...
Side-scan sonar (SSS) imagery is susceptible to geometric distortions caused by platform motion instability, which degrade geometric consistency and limit downstream analyses such as mosaicking and pe...
Discrete diffusion models are promising alternatives to autoregressive approaches for text generation, yet their decoding methods remain under-studied. Standard decoding methods for autoregressive mod...
