Kavli Affiliate: Peter Ford | First 5 Authors: Cédric Colas, Tristan Karch, Nicolas Lair, Jean-Michel Dussoux, Clément Moulin-Frier | Summary: Developmental machine learning studies how artificial agents can model the way children learn open-ended repertoires of skills. Such agents need to create and represent goals, select which ones to pursue and learn to achieve them. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Emanuele Castorina, Simon Foreman, Dionysios Karagiannis, Adrian Liu, Kiyoshi W. Masui | Summary: The Packed Ultra-wideband Mapping Array (PUMA) is a proposed low-resolution transit interferometric radio telescope operating over the frequency range 200 – 1100MHz. Its rich science portfolio will include measuring structure in the universe […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ronald A. Remillard | First 5 Authors: Dacheng Lin, Jay Strader, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jimmy A. Irwin, Olivier Godet | Summary: We recently discovered the X-ray/optical outbursting source 3XMM J215022.4-055108. It was best explained as the tidal disruption of a star by an intermediate-mass black hole of mass of a few tens of […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: Fernando Barbero G., Juan Margalef-Bentabol, Eduardo J. S. Villaseñor, , | Summary: We give a new identity involving Bernoulli polynomials and combinatorial numbers. This provides, in particular, a Faulhaber-like formula for sums of the form $1^m (n-1)^m + 2^m (n-2)^m + cdots + (n-1)^m 1^m$ for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Slawomir Gras | First 5 Authors: Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai, Bryan Barr, Riccardo Bassiri | Summary: The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To maximize the reach of the existing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog, Scott A. Hughes, Philippe Jetzer | Summary: In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental physics. Given the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter Ford | First 5 Authors: Nicolas Lair, Clément Delgrange, David Mugisha, Jean-Michel Dussoux, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer | Summary: People are becoming increasingly comfortable using Digital Assistants (DAs) to interact with services or connected objects. However, for non-programming users, the available possibilities for customizing their DA are limited and do not include the possibility […]
Kavli Affiliate: Moritz Guenther | First 5 Authors: Nancy Remage Evans, Ignazio Pillitteri, Laszlo Molnar, Laszlo Szabados, Emese Plachy | Summary: V473 Lyr is a classical Cepheid which is unique in having substantial amplitude variations with a period of approximately 3.3 years, thought to be similar to the Blazhko variations in RR Lyrae stars. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Principe | First 5 Authors: Sebastián Pérez, Antonio Hales, Hauyu Baobab Liu, Zhaohuan Zhu, Simon Casassus | Summary: FU Orionis objects are low-mass pre-main sequence stars characterized by dramatic outbursts of several magnitudes in brightness. These outbursts are linked to episodic accretion events in which stars gain a significant portion of their […]
