The Singapore Consensus on Global AI Safety Research Priorities

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Yoshua Bengio, Yoshua Bengio, , , | Summary: Rapidly improving AI capabilities and autonomy hold significant promise of transformation, but are also driving vigorous debate on how to ensure that AI is safe, i.e., trustworthy, reliable, and secure. Building a trusted ecosystem is therefore essential — it […]

An iterative CMB lensing estimator minimizing instrumental noise bias

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Louis Legrand, Louis Legrand, , , | Summary: Noise maps from CMB experiments are generally statistically anisotropic, due to scanning strategies, atmospheric conditions, or instrumental effects. Any mis-modeling of this complex noise can bias the reconstruction of the lensing potential and the measurement of the lensing power […]

Interpretable abstractions of artificial neural networks predict behavior and neural activity during human information gathering

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Simone D’Ambrogio, Jan Grohn, Nima Khalighinejad, Marcelo Mattar, Laurence T Hunt and Matthew F Rushworth | Summary: It has been suggested that humans and other animals are driven by a fundamental desire to acquire information about opportunities available in their environments. Not only might such a desire explain pathological […]

SLAy-ing oversplitting errors in high-density electrophysiology spike sorting

Kavli Affiliate: Adam S. Charles | Authors: Sai Koukuntla, Tate DeWeese, Alexandra Cheng, Robyn Mildren, Aamna Lawrence, Austin R Graves, Jennifer Colonell, Timothy D Harris and Adam S Charles | Summary: The growing channel count of silicon probes has substantially increased the number of neurons recorded in electrophysiology (ephys) experiments, rendering traditional manual spike sorting […]

Giant Outer Transiting Exoplanet Mass (GOT ‘EM) Survey. VI: Confirmation of a Long-Period Giant Planet Discovered with a Single TESS Transit

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We report the discovery and confirmation of TOI-4465 b, a $1.25^+0.08_-0.07~R_J$, $5.89pm0.26~M_J$ giant planet orbiting a G dwarf star at $dsimeq$ 122 pc. The planet was detected as a single-transit event in data from Sector 40 of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey […]

Hundreds of TESS exoplanets might be larger than we thought

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Te Han, Te Han, , , | Summary: The radius of a planet is a fundamental parameter that probes its composition and habitability. Precise radius measurements are typically derived from the fraction of starlight blocked when a planet transits its host star. The wide-field Transiting Exoplanet Survey […]

First High-Throughput Evaluation of Dark Matter Detector Materials

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Sinéad M. Griffin, Sinéad M. Griffin, , , | Summary: We perform the first high-throughput search and evaluation of materials that can serve as excellent low-mass dark matter detectors. Using properties of close to one thousand materials from the Materials Project database, we project the sensitivity […]
