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...
Modern text-to-image models excel in visual fidelity and prompt adherence. However, this strict adherence comes at the cost of diversity: generated samples tend to collapse into a single visual interp...
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...
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a critical public health concern in Brazil, characterized by pronounced spatial heterogeneity and fluctuating temporal volatility. In this paper, we study monthly TB notifica...
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...
Vulnerable road users (VRUs) account for approximately half of urban traffic deaths globally, with intersections concentrating a disproportionate share of these casualties. Recent reviews of sensing t...
On-policy distillation (OPD) trains student models under their own induced distribution while leveraging supervision from stronger teachers. We identify a failure mode of OPD: as training progresses, ...
Real-world social relationships are not uniformly supportive. Information through hostile connections can increase resistance, anxiety, or misinformation rather than adoption. Classical models such as...
Unnormalized probability distributions are frequently used in machine learning for modeling complex data generating processes. Though Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms can approximately sampl...
Our research is closely related to ontological studies in mathematics. It provides crucial insights into the nature of decisions and strategies characterized by Markov moments. In a stopping game, a h...
