It’s All Relative: Learning Interpretable Models for Scoring Subjective Bias in Documents from Pairwise Comparisons

Matthias Grossglauser, Aswin Suresh, Chi Hsuan Wu

We propose an interpretable model to score the subjective bias present in documents, based only on their textual content. Our model is trained on pairs of revisions of the same Wikipedia article, where one version is more biased than the other. Although pr ...

Timing and spatial selection bias in rapid extreme event attribution

Anthony Christopher Davison, Ophélia Mireille Anna Miralles

Selection bias may arise when data have been chosen in a way that subsequent analysis does not account for. Such bias can arise in climate event attribution studies that are performed rapidly after a devastating "trigger event'', whose occurrence correspon ...

Stronger serial dependence in the depth plane than the fronto-parallel plane between realistic objects: Evidence from virtual reality

David Pascucci

Visual estimates of stimulus features are systematically biased toward the features of previously encountered stimuli. Such serial dependencies have often been linked to how the brain maintains perceptual continuity. However, serial dependence has mostly b ...

Practical issues with modeling extreme Brazilian rainfall

Anthony Christopher Davison, Isolde Santos Previdelli, Paulo Vitor Da Costa Pereira

Accurately quantifying extreme rainfall is important for the design of hydraulic structures, for flood mapping and zoning and for disaster management. In order to produce maps of estimates of 25-year rainfall return levels in Brazil, we selected 893 shorte ...

The completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: 1000 multi-tracer mock catalogues with redshift evolution and systematics for galaxies and quasars of the final data release

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Amélie Tamone

We produce 1000 realizations of synthetic clustering catalogues for each type of the tracers used for the baryon acoustic oscillation and redshift space distortion analysis of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Surve ...

Impact of negative bias on the piezoelectric properties through the incidence of abnormal oriented grains in Al0.62Sc0.38N thin films

Paul Muralt, Robin Nigon, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Mohammad Fazel Parsapour Kolour, Lukas Riemer

Sputter deposited A1ScN films with an Sc content of 38 at % were investigated by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy to study the influence of the radio frequency (RF) bias on the growth of abnormally oriented grains (AOG). Scanning electron microsco ...

Comparison of autofluorescence and white-light bronchoscopies performed with the Evis Lucera Spectrum for the detection of bronchial cancers: a meta-analysis

Georges Wagnières, Xiuwei Zhang, Li Wang, Yang Yang

Background: Many recent studies have reported that autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) has a superior sensitivity and decreased specificity in the diagnosis of bronchial cancers when compared with white-light bronchoscopy (WLB). We specifically analyzed th ...

Euclid: The reduced shear approximation and magnification bias for Stage IV cosmic shear experiments

Georges Meylan, Jean-Luc Starck, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

Context. Stage IV weak lensing experiments will offer more than an order of magnitude leap in precision. We must therefore ensure that our analyses remain accurate in this new era. Accordingly, previously ignored systematic effects must be addressed.Aims. ...

Tackling Peer-to-Peer Discrimination in the Sharing Economy

Boi Faltings, Naman Goel, Maxime Rutagarama

Sharing economy platforms such as Airbnb and Uber face a major challenge in the form of peer-to-peer discrimination based on sensitive personal attributes such as race and gender. As shown by a recent study under controlled settings, reputation systems can ...
