Biases in Information Selection and Processing: Survey Evidence from the Pandemic

Andreas Fuster

We conduct two survey experiments to study which information people choose to consume and how it affects their beliefs. In the first experiment, respondents choose between optimistic and pessimistic article headlines related to the COVID-19 pandemic and ar ...

A Wasserstein-based measure of conditional dependence

Seyed Jalal Etesami, Negar Kiyavash, Kun Zhang

Measuring conditional dependencies among the variables of a network is of great interest to many disciplines. This paper studies some shortcomings of the existing dependency measures in detecting direct causal influences or their lack of ability for group ...

Identification of a Heteroleptic Pd6L6L′6 Coordination Cage by Screening of a Virtual Combinatorial Library

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Sylvain Alexandre Marie Sudan, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Suzanne Maria Jansze, Rujin Li

The design of structurally defined heteroleptic coordination cages is a challenging task, and only few examples are known to date. Here we describe a selection approach that allowed the identification of a novel hexanuclear Pd cage containing two types of ...

The Imitation Game: Algorithm Selection by Exploiting Black-Box Recommenders

Rachid Guerraoui, Georgios Damaskinos

Cross-validation is commonly used to select the recommendation algorithms that will generalize best on yet unknown data. Yet, in many situations the available dataset used for cross-validation is scarce and the selected algorithm might not be the best suit ...

A unified measure of linear and nonlinear selection on quantitative traits

Yoav Zemel

Lande and Arnold's approach to quantifying natural selection has become a standard tool in evolutionary biology due to its simplicity and generality. It treats linear and nonlinear selection in two separate frameworks, generating coefficients of selection ...

Risk prediction of developing venous thrombosis in combined oral contraceptive users

Emmanuelle Logette, Valérie Buchillier

Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex multifactorial disease influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors. An example for the latter is the regular use of combined oral contraceptives (CC), which increases the risk to develop VTE by ...

Methodology for the optimal design of an integrated sugarcane distillery and cogeneration process for ethanol and power production

François Maréchal, Rami Bechara, Jean-Marc Schweitzer

The application of systematic methodologies for the optimal design of integrated processes has seen increased interest in literature, namely for bioprocesses. The development and application of such a methodology to ethanol and power production from sugarc ...

Model selection for partial least squares calibration and implications for analysis of atmospheric organic aerosol samples with mid-infrared spectroscopy

Satoshi Takahama

In developing partial least squares calibration models, selecting the number of latent variables used for their construction to minimize both model bias and model variance remains a challenge. Several metrics exist for incorporating these trade-offs, but t ...

Lead selection and characterization of antitubercular compounds using the Nested Chemical Library

Stewart Cole, Ruben Hartkoorn, Edina Rita Székely

Discovering new drugs to treat tuberculosis more efficiently and to overcome multidrug resistance is a world health priority. To find novel antitubercular agents several approaches have been used in various institutions worldwide, including target-based ap ...

Automatic Identification and Calibration of Stochastic Parameters in Inertial Sensors

Jan Skaloud, Stéphane Guerrier

We present an algorithm for determining the nature of stochastic processes and their parameters based on the analysis of time series of inertial errors. The algorithm is suitable mainly (but not only) for situations where several stochastic processes are s ...

Continental-Scale Footprint of Balancing and Positive Selection in a Small Rodent (Microtus arvalis)

Matthieu Foll

Genetic adaptation to different environmental conditions is expected to lead to large differences between populations at selected loci, thus providing a signature of positive selection. Whereas balancing selection can maintain polymorphisms over long evolu ...

Intrusion Detection in MANET Using Classification Algorithms: The Effects of Cost and Model Selection

Christos Dimitrakakis, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa

Intrusion detection is frequently used as a second line of defense in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). In this paper we examine how to properly use classification methods in intrusion detection for MANETs. In order to do so we evaluate five supervised clas ...

Cell biology: a key driver of therapeutic innovation

Oliver Hantschel

All processes associated with cellular function are likely to contribute to disease. Particularly in the cancer field, most major therapeutic innovations have originated from the elucidation of basic molecular mechanisms by academic researchers. Recent bre ...

A Quantitative Test of Hamilton's Rule for the Evolution of Altruism

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Markus Waibel

The evolution of altruism is a fundamental and enduring puzzle in biology. In a seminal paper Hamilton showed that altruism can be selected for when rb − c>0, where c is the fitness cost to the altruist, b is the fitness benefit to the beneficiary, and r i ...

Information theoretic combination of pattern classifiers

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Julien Meynet

Combining several classifiers has proved to be an effective machine learning technique. Two concepts clearly influence the performances of an ensemble of classifiers: the diversity between classifiers and the individual accuracies of the classifiers. In th ...

Path planning versus cue responding: a bioinspired model of switching between navigation strategies

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano

In this paper we describe a new computational model of switching between path-planning and cue-guided navigation strategies. It is based on three main assumptions: (i) the strategies are mediated by separate memory systems that learn independently and in p ...

A Novel Yeast-Based Platform for Small Molecule Target Deconvolution Reveals Previously Unknown Binding Partners for the Approved Drugs Erlotinib, Atorvastatin, and Sulfasalazine

Christopher Chidley

The identification of all protein targets of a small molecule drug, i.e. target deconvolution, provides the basis for understanding its beneficial or deleterious actions. Target deconvolution remains a major and often problematic task within the biotechnol ...

Genetic Team Composition and Level of Selection in the Evolution of Cooperation

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Markus Waibel

In cooperative multiagent systems, agents interact to solve tasks. Global dynamics of multiagent teams result from local agent interactions, and are complex and difficult to predict. Evolutionary computation has proven a promising approach to the design of ...

Information theoretic feature extraction for audio-visual speech recognition

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Mihai Gurban

The problem of feature selection has been thoroughly analyzed in the context of pattern classification, with the purpose of avoiding the curse of dimensionality. However, in the context of multimodal signal processing, this problem has been studied less. O ...
