Suboptimal phenotypic reliability impedes reproducible human neuroscience

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Vogelstein | Authors: Aki Nikolaidis, Andrew An Chen, Xiaoning He, Russell Shinohara, Joshua Vogelstein, Michael Milham and Haochang Shou | Summary: Biomarkers of behavior and psychiatric illness for cognitive and clinical neuroscience remain out of reach. Suboptimal reliability of biological measurements, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), is increasingly cited as […]

Marginal Bayesian Statistics Using Masked Autoregressive Flows and Kernel Density Estimators with Examples in Cosmology

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Harry Bevins, Will Handley, Pablo Lemos, Peter Sims, Eloy de Lera Acedo | Summary: Cosmological experiments often employ Bayesian workflows to derive constraints on cosmological and astrophysical parameters from their data. It has been shown that these constraints can be combined across different probes such as Planck […]

Measurements of the branching fraction, isospin asymmetry, and lepton-universality ratio in $B to J/ψK$ decays at Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, F. Abudinén, I. Adachi, R. Adak, K. Adamczyk | Summary: We report a study of $B to J/psi(ell^{+}ell^{-})K$ decays, where $ell$ represents an electron or a muon, using $e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. The data were collected by the Belle II experiment at […]

Two-Stage Fine-Tuning: A Novel Strategy for Learning Class-Imbalanced Data

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Taha ValizadehAslani, Yiwen Shi, Jing Wang, Ping Ren, Yi Zhang | Summary: Classification on long-tailed distributed data is a challenging problem, which suffers from serious class-imbalance and hence poor performance on tail classes with only a few samples. Owing to this paucity of samples, learning on the […]

Requirements for a processing-node quantum repeater on a real-world fiber grid

Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Guus Avis, Francisco Ferreira da Silva, Tim Coopmans, Axel Dahlberg, Hana Jirovská | Summary: We numerically study the distribution of entanglement between the Dutch cities of Delft and Eindhoven realized with a processing-node quantum repeater and determine minimal hardware requirements for verifiable blind quantum computation using color […]

Spotting Temporally Precise, Fine-Grained Events in Video

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: James Hong, Haotian Zhang, Michaël Gharbi, Matthew Fisher, Kayvon Fatahalian | Summary: We introduce the task of spotting temporally precise, fine-grained events in video (detecting the precise moment in time events occur). Precise spotting requires models to reason globally about the full-time scale of actions and locally […]
