Seeing is Believing: Brain-Inspired Modular Training for Mechanistic Interpretability

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Eric Gan, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: We introduce Brain-Inspired Modular Training (BIMT), a method for making neural networks more modular and interpretable. Inspired by brains, BIMT embeds neurons in a geometric space and augments the loss function with a cost proportional to the length […]

Correcting for Interference in Experiments: A Case Study at Douyin

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Vivek F. Farias, Hao Li, Tianyi Peng, Xinyuyang Ren, Huawei Zhang | Summary: Interference is a ubiquitous problem in experiments conducted on two-sided content marketplaces, such as Douyin (China’s analog of TikTok). In many cases, creators are the natural unit of experimentation, but creators interfere with each […]

Surface oxides, carbides, and impurities on RF superconducting Nb and Nb3Sn: A comprehensive analysis

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Zeming Sun, Zhaslan Baraissov, Catherine A. Dukes, Darrah K. Dare, Thomas Oseroff | Summary: Surface structures on radio-frequency (RF) superconductors are crucially important in determining their interaction with the RF field. Here we investigate the surface compositions, structural profiles, and valence distributions of oxides, carbides, and […]

Automatic Discovery of Cognitive Strategies with Tiny Recurrent Neural Networks

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Li Ji-An, Marcus K Benna and Marcelo G Mattar | Summary: Normative frameworks such as Bayesian inference and reward-based learning are useful tools for explaining the fundamental principles of adaptive behavior. However, their ability to describe realistic animal behavior is limited by the often small number of parameters that […]

Resolving the muon $g-2$ tension through $Z’$-induced modifications to $σ_{mathrm{had}}$

Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Nina M. Coyle, Carlos E. M. Wagner, , , | Summary: The QED hadronic vacuum polarization function plays an important role in the determination of precision electroweak observables and of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. These contributions have been computed from data, by […]

Inspiraling streams of enriched gas observed around a massive galaxy 11 billion years ago

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Shiwu Zhang, Zheng Cai, Dandan Xu, Rhythm Shimakawa, Fabrizio Arrigoni Battaia | Summary: Stars form in galaxies, from gas that has been accreted from the intergalactic medium. Simulations have shown that recycling of gas-the reaccretion of gas that was previously ejected from a galaxy-could sustain star formation […]

Learngene: Inheriting Condensed Knowledge from the Ancestry Model to Descendant Models

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Qiufeng Wang, Xu Yang, Shuxia Lin, Jing Wang, Xin Geng | Summary: During the continuous evolution of one organism’s ancestry, its genes accumulate extensive experiences and knowledge, enabling newborn descendants to rapidly adapt to their specific environments. Motivated by this observation, we propose a novel machine learning […]
