The ranking of recommendation algorithms is a challenging problem since model performance is sensitive to dataset characteristics such as sparsity, sequential structure, and scale. This drives a deman...
Ocean acidification (OA) driven by increasing atmospheric CO2 is altering marine biodiversity. However, impacts of OA on ecosystem functioning at the community level, including calcification, primary ...
Actuaries rely primarily on structured numerical data for reserving and ratemaking, while valuable predictive information in unstructured text including medical records, adjuster notes, and call trans...
The central problem in biomedical imaging are batch effects: systematic technical variations unrelated to the biological signal of interest. These batch effects critically undermine experimental repro...
Small language models (SLMs) offer computational efficiency for scalable deployment, yet they often fall short of the reasoning power exhibited by their larger counterparts (LLMs). To mitigate this ga...
Effective autonomous monitoring of marine litter is vital to reduce marine pollution and protect marine ecosystems. However, current underwater detection systems face significant challenges, primarily...
Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) are a long-lived, slow-growing deep-sea species endemic to the Southern Hemisphere and the focus of longline fisheries managed to ensure sustainable exp...
Detecting shared neural activity from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) across individuals exposed to the same stimulus can reveal synchronous brain responses, functional roles of regions, ...
We consider contraction of Bayesian posterior distributions in nonparametric settings where coefficients of a function over a basis or dictionary are given priors with $p$--exponential tails, includin...
Accurate classification of sea turtle species is crucial for ecological monitoring and conservation, yet traditional visual classification methods remain limited by underwater imaging challenges such ...
We present fast-vollib, an open-source Python library that provides high-performance European option pricing, implied volatility (IV) computation, and Greeks under the Black-76, Black-Scholes, and Bla...
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive volumetric imaging modality with high spatial and temporal resolution. For imaging larger tissue structures, OCT probes need to be moved to scan th...
Marine systems worldwide are suffering escalating impacts from biological invasions, with increasing threats projected for the future. Despite substantial financial investments in managing marine inva...
The integration of Automated Shuttles into shared urban spaces presents unique challenges due to the absence of traffic rules and the complex pedestrian interactions. Accurately anticipating pedestria...
NDAI zones let inventor and investor agents negotiate inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) where any disclosed information is deleted if no deal is reached. This makes full IP disclosure the r...
Triangles capture higher-order structures in graphs and are fundamental to applications such as clustering and network analysis. To enable efficient use of such structures at scale, we study the probl...
Fisheries can strongly alter marine ecosystem dynamics, influencing the ecology and behaviour of top predators such as cetaceans. At the Tiber River estuary (Tyrrhenian Sea, Western Mediterranean), bo...
Analysts routinely use Bayesian hierarchical models to understand natural processes. The no-U-turn sampler (NUTS) is the most widely used algorithm to sample high-dimensional, continuously differentia...
Probabilistic forecasts are essential for inventory management, where decisions depend on the full distribution of future demand. While probabilistic forecast combination is widely used to improve sta...
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...
