Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: David D. Baek, Ziming Liu, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: We present GenEFT: an effective theory framework for shedding light on the statics and dynamics of neural network generalization, and illustrate it with graph learning examples. We first investigate the generalization phase transition as data size increases, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Deheng Song, Christopher Eckner, Chris Gordon, Francesca Calore, Oscar Macias | Summary: The gamma-ray Fermi-LAT Galactic centre excess (GCE) has puzzled scientists for over 15 years. Despite ongoing debates about its properties, and especially its spatial distribution, its nature remains elusive. We scrutinize how the estimated spatial […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Minyong Jung, Santi Roca-Fàbrega, Ji-hoon Kim, Anna Genina, Loic Hausammann | Summary: We analyze and compare the satellite halo populations at $zsim2$ in the high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations of a $10^{12},{rm M}_{odot}$ target halo ($z=0$ mass) carried out on eight widely-used astrophysical simulation codes ({sc Art-I}, {sc […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erich Jarvis | Authors: Jun Ishigohoka, Karen Bascón-Cardozo, Andrea Bours, Janina Fuß, Arang Rhie, Jacquelyn Mountcastle, Bettina Haase, William Chow, Joanna Collins, Kerstin Howe, Marcela Uliano-Silva, Olivier Fedrigo, Erich D. Jarvis, Javier Pérez-Tris, Juan Carlos Illera and Miriam Liedvogel | Summary: Genetic variation of the entire genome represents population structure, yet individual loci […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Clayton Strawn, Santi Roca-Fàbrega, Joel R. Primack, Ji-hoon Kim, Anna Genina | Summary: We analyze the circumgalactic medium (CGM) for eight commonly-used cosmological codes in the AGORA collaboration. The codes are calibrated to use identical initial conditions, cosmology, heating and cooling, and star formation thresholds, but each […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Eric J. Michaud, Isaac Liao, Vedang Lad, Ziming Liu, Anish Mudide | Summary: We present MIPS, a novel method for program synthesis based on automated mechanistic interpretability of neural networks trained to perform the desired task, auto-distilling the learned algorithm into Python code. We test MIPS on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Anirban Das, Alec G. Sheffield, Anirvan S. Nandy and Monika P. Jadi | Summary: Adaptive information processing, comprised of local computations and their efficient routing, is crucial for flexible brain function. Spatial attention is a quintessential example of this adaptive process. It is critical for recognizing and interacting with […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed, H. Aihara | Summary: We describe a measurement of charge-parity ($CP$) violation asymmetries in $B^0toeta’K^0_S$ decays using Belle II data. We consider $eta’toeta(togammagamma)pi^+pi^-$ and $eta’torho(topi^+pi^-)gamma$ decays. The data were collected at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider between the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Aklant K. Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey, Luke Zoltan Kelley, Rainer Weinberger | Summary: The first "seeds" of supermassive black holes (BH) can range from $sim10^2-10^6~M_{odot}$. However, the lowest mass seeds ($lesssim10^3 M_{odot}$) are inaccessible to most cosmological simulations due to resolution limitations. We present our new […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Kaifei Kang, Bowen Shen, Yichen Qiu, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi | Summary: Quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators are two-dimensional electronic materials that have a bulk band gap like an ordinary insulator but have topologically protected pairs of edge modes of opposite chiralities. To date, experimental studies have […]
