CLAD: A Contrastive Learning based Approach for Background Debiasing

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Harshitha Machiraju, Oh-Hyeon Choung, Michael Herzog, Pascal Frossard | Summary: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved superhuman performance in multiple vision tasks, especially image classification. However, unlike humans, CNNs leverage spurious features, such as background information to make decisions. This tendency creates different problems in […]

EMC holdase:CaV1.2/CaVβ3 complex and CaV1.2 channel structures reveal CaV assembly and drug binding mechanisms

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Minor | Authors: Zhou Chen, Abhisek Mondal, Fayal Abderemane-Ali, Jose Montano, Balyn Zaro and Daniel L Minor, Jr. | Summary: Abstract Voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs) comprise multiple structural units whose assembly is required for function1,2. There is scant structural understanding of how VGIC subunits assemble and whether chaperone proteins are required. High-voltage […]

Fractional Statistics

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Martin Greiter, Frank Wilczek, , , | Summary: The quantum-mechanical description of assemblies of particles whose motion is confined to two (or one) spatial dimensions offers many possibilities that are distinct from bosons and fermions. We call such particles anyons. The simplest anyons are parameterized by an […]

The Assembly of Black Hole Mass and Luminosity Functions of High-redshift Quasars via Multiple Accretion Episodes

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Wenxiu Li, Kohei Inayoshi, Masafusa Onoue, Daisuke Toyouchi, | Summary: The early evolution of the quasar luminosity function (QLF) and black hole mass function (BHMF) encodes key information on the physics determining the radiative and accretion processes of supermassive black holes (BHs) in high-$z$ quasars. Although the […]

A dense $mathbf{0.1 M_{rm odot}}$ star in a 51-minute orbital period eclipsing binary

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Kevin B. Burdge, Kareem El-Badry, Thomas R. Marsh, Saul Rappaport, Warren R. Brown | Summary: In over a thousand known cataclysmic variables (CVs), where a white dwarf is accreting from a hydrogen-rich star, only a dozen have orbital periods below 75 minutes. One way to achieve these […]
