Positive-Negative Equal Contrastive Loss for Semantic Segmentation

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Lingfei Xuan, Wenxuan Wang, Tianxiang Zhang, Jiangyun Li | Summary: The contextual information is critical for various computer vision tasks, previous works commonly design plug-and-play modules and structural losses to effectively extract and aggregate the global context. These methods utilize fine-label to optimize the model […]

The effect of obstacles near a silo outlet on the discharge of soft spheres

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Kirsten Harth, Dmitry Puzyrev, Ralf Stannarius, | Summary: Soft smooth particles in silo discharge show peculiar characteristics, including, for example, non-permanent clogging and intermittent flow. This paper describes a study of soft, low-frictional hydro-gel spheres in a quasi-2D silo. We enforce a more competitive behavior […]

Genetic adaptation to pathogens and increased risk of inflammatory disorders in post-Neolithic Europe

Kavli Affiliate: Jean Laurent Casanova | Authors: Gaspard Kerner, Anna-Lena Neehus, Laurent Abel, Jean-Laurent Casanova, Etienne Patin, Guillaume Laval and Lluis Quintana-Murci | Summary: Ancient genomics can directly detect human genetic adaptation to environmental cues. However, it remains unclear how pathogens have exerted selective pressures on human genome diversity across different epochs and affected present-day […]

Developmental spontaneous activity promotes sensory domains, frequency tuning and proper gain in central auditory circuits

Kavli Affiliate: Dwight Bergles | Authors: Calvin J Kersbergen, Travis A Babola, Jason Rock and Dwight E Bergles | Summary: Neurons that process sensory information exhibit bursts of electrical activity during development, providing early training to circuits that will later encode similar features of the external world. In the mammalian auditory system, this intrinsically generated […]

Independent Evidence for earlier formation epochs of fossil groups of galaxies through the intracluster light: the case for RX J100742.53+380046.6

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Renato A. Dupke, Yolanda Jimenez-teja, Yuanyuan Su, Eleazar R. Carrasco, Anton M. Koekemoer | Summary: Fossil groups (FG) of galaxies still present a puzzle to theories of structure formation. Despite the low number of bright galaxies, they have relatively high velocity dispersions and ICM temperatures often corresponding […]

Learning to correct spectral methods for simulating turbulent flows

Kavli Affiliate: Michael P. Brenner | First 5 Authors: Gideon Dresdner, Dmitrii Kochkov, Peter Norgaard, Leonardo Zepeda-Núñez, Jamie A. Smith | Summary: Despite their ubiquity throughout science and engineering, only a handful of partial differential equations (PDEs) have analytical, or closed-form solutions. This motivates a vast amount of classical work on numerical simulation of PDEs […]

Search for a dark photon and an invisible dark Higgs boson in $μ^+μ^-$ and missing energy final states with the Belle II experiment

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, F. Abudinén, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Aihara | Summary: The dark photon $A^prime$ and the dark Higgs boson $h^prime$ are hypothetical particles predicted in many dark sector models. We search for the simultaneous production of $A^prime$ and $h^prime$ in the dark Higgsstrahlung process […]
