Real Effect or Bias? Best Practices for Evaluating the Robustness of Real-World Evidence through Quantitative Sensitivity Analysis for Unmeasured Confounding

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Douglas Faries, Chenyin Gao, Xiang Zhang, Chad Hazlett, James Stamey | Summary: The assumption of no unmeasured confounders is a critical but unverifiable assumption required for causal inference yet quantitative sensitivity analyses to assess robustness of real-world evidence remains underutilized. The lack of use is likely in […]

Unsupervised Contrast-Consistent Ranking with Language Models

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Niklas Stoehr, Pengxiang Cheng, Jing Wang, Daniel Preotiuc-Pietro, Rajarshi Bhowmik | Summary: Language models contain ranking-based knowledge and are powerful solvers of in-context ranking tasks. For instance, they may have parametric knowledge about the ordering of countries by size or may be able to rank reviews by […]

Improving HEVC Encoding of Rendered Video Data Using True Motion Information

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | First 5 Authors: Christian Herglotz, David Müller, Andreas Weinlich, Frank Bauer, Michael Ortner | Summary: This paper shows that motion vectors representing the true motion of an object in a scene can be exploited to improve the encoding process of computer generated video sequences. Therefore, a set of sequences is […]

The thesan project: public data release of radiation-hydrodynamic simulations matching reionization-era JWST observations

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Enrico Garaldi, Rahul Kannan, Aaron Smith, Josh Borrow, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: Cosmological simulations serve as invaluable tools for understanding the Universe. However, the technical complexity and substantial computational resources required to generate such simulations often limit their accessibility within the broader research community. Notable exceptions exist, […]

In operando cryo-STEM of pulse-induced charge density wave switching in TaS$_2$

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: James L Hart, Saif Siddique, Noah Schnitzer, Stephen D. Funni, Lena F. Kourkoutis | Summary: The charge density wave (CDW) material 1T-TaS$_2$ exhibits a pulse-induced insulator-to-metal transition, which shows promise for next-generation electronics such as memristive memory and neuromorphic hardware. However, the rational design of TaS$_2$ […]

Recovering from Privacy-Preserving Masking with Large Language Models

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Arpita Vats, Zhe Liu, Peng Su, Debjyoti Paul, Yingyi Ma | Summary: Model adaptation is crucial to handle the discrepancy between proxy training data and actual users data received. To effectively perform adaptation, textual data of users is typically stored on servers or their local devices, where […]

Hierarchical Conditional Semi-Paired Image-to-Image Translation For Multi-Task Image Defect Correction On Shopping Websites

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Moyan Li, Jinmiao Fu, Shaoyuan Xu, Huidong Liu, Jia Liu | Summary: On shopping websites, product images of low quality negatively affect customer experience. Although there are plenty of work in detecting images with different defects, few efforts have been dedicated to correct those defects at scale. […]

Low-Energy Supernovae Bounds on Sterile Neutrinos

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Garv Chauhan, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Patrick Huber, Ian M. Shoemaker, | Summary: Sterile neutrinos can be produced through mixing with active neutrinos in the hot and dense core of a core-collapse supernova (SN). The standard bounds on the active-sterile mixing ($sin^2 theta$) from SN arise from SN1987A energy-loss, […]

A rest-frame near-IR study of clumps in galaxies at $1<z<2$ using JWST/NIRCam: connection to galaxy bulges

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Boris S. Kalita, John D. Silverman, Emanuele Daddi, Connor Bottrell, Luis C. Ho | Summary: A key question in galaxy evolution has been the importance of the apparent `clumpiness’ of high redshift galaxies. Until now, this property has been primarily investigated in rest-frame UV, limiting our […]
