Feasibility of Passive Sounding of Uranian Moons using Uranian Kilometric Radiation

Kavli Affiliate: Dustin M. Schroeder | First 5 Authors: Andrew Romero-Wolf, Gregor Steinbruegge, Julie Castillo-Rogez, Corey J. Cochrane, Tom A. Nordheim | Summary: We present a feasibility study for passive sounding of Uranian icy moons using Uranian Kilometric Radio (UKR) emissions in the 100 – 900 kHz band. We provide a summary description of the […]

Prophage rates in the human microbiome vary by body site and host health.

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Laura K Inglis, Michael J. Roach and Robert A Edwards | Summary: Phages integrated into a bacterial genome–called prophages–continuously monitor the health of the host bacteria to determine when to escape the genome, protect their host from other phage infections, and may provide genes that promote bacterial growth. Prophages […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
