Bayesian interpolation for power laws in neural data analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Yasser Roudi, Ivan Davidovich | Authors: Ivan A. Davidovich and Yasser Roudi | Summary: Power laws arise in a variety of phenomena ranging from matter undergoing phase transition to the distribution of word frequencies in the English language. Usually, their presence is only apparent when data is abundant, and accurately determining their exponents […]

Self-Supervised Arbitrary-Scale Point Clouds Upsampling via Implicit Neural Representation

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wenbo Zhao, Xianming Liu, Zhiwei Zhong, Junjun Jiang, Wei Gao | Summary: Point clouds upsampling is a challenging issue to generate dense and uniform point clouds from the given sparse input. Most existing methods either take the end-to-end supervised learning based manner, where large amounts of pairs […]

Deep Learning Coherent Diffractive Imaging

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Zettl | First 5 Authors: Dillan J. Chang, Colum M. O’Leary, Cong Su, Salman Kahn, Alex Zettl | Summary: We report the development of deep learning coherent electron diffractive imaging at sub-angstrom resolution using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained with only simulated data. We experimentally demonstrate this method by applying the trained […]

Frustrated magnetic interactions in a Wigner-Mott insulator

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Yanhao Tang, Kaixiang Su, Lizhong Li, Yang Xu, Song Liu | Summary: Two-dimensional semiconductor moir’e materials have emerged as a highly controllable platform to simulate and explore quantum condensed matter. Compared to real solids, electrons in semiconductor moir’e materials are less strongly attracted to the moir’e lattice […]

Peptidergic signaling controls the dynamics of sickness behavior in Caenorhabditis elegans

Kavli Affiliate: Cori Bargmann | Authors: Javier Marquina-Solis, Elke Vandewyver, Josh Hawk, Daniel Colon-Ramos, Isabel Beets and Cori Bargmann | Summary: Pathogenic infection elicits sickness behaviors that promote recovery and survival of the host. For example, following infection with the pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans modifies its sensory preferences to avoid […]

Investigating the sources of low-energy events in a SuperCDMS-HVeV detector

Kavli Affiliate: D. B. Macfarlane | First 5 Authors: SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib, D. W. P. Amaral, T. Aralis | Summary: Recent experiments searching for sub-GeV/$c^2$ dark matter have observed event excesses close to their respective energy thresholds. Although specific to the individual technologies, the measured excess event rates have been consistently […]

Astrometric Gravitational-Wave Detection via Stellar Interferometry

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, Bruce Macintosh, Surjeet Rajendran, | Summary: We evaluate the potential for gravitational-wave (GW) detection in the frequency band from 10 nHz to 1 $mu$Hz using extremely high-precision astrometry of a small number of stars. In particular, we argue that non-magnetic, photometrically […]

Context-dependent sensory modulation underlies Bayesian vocal sequence perception

Kavli Affiliate: Ali Brivanlou, Eric Siggia | Authors: Anna Yoney, Lu Bai, Ali H. Brivanlou and Eric D Siggia | Summary: Vocal communication in both songbirds and humans relies on categorical perception of smoothly varying acoustic spaces. Vocal perception can be biased by expectation and context, but the mechanisms of this bias are not well […]
