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

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 ...

Conditional Flatness, Fiberwise Localizations, And Admissible Reflections

Jérôme Scherer

We extend the group-theoretic notion of conditional flatness for a localization functor to any pointed category, and investigate it in the context of homological categories and of semi-abelian categories. In the presence of functorial fiberwise localizatio ...

On minimal tilting complexes in highest weight categories

Jonathan Gruber

We explain the construction of minimal tilting complexes for objects of highest weight categories and we study in detail the minimal tilting complexes for standard objects and simple objects. For certain categories of representations of complex simple Lie ...

Effects of item distinctiveness on the retrieval of objects and object-location bindings from visual working memory

Yury Markov

Visual working memory (VWM) is prone to interference from stored items competing for its limited capacity. Distinctiveness or similarity of the items is acknowledged to affect this competition, such that poor item distinctiveness causes a failure to discri ...

Neural Set Function Extensions: Learning with Discrete Functions in High Dimensions

Andreas Loukas, Nikolaos Karalias

Integrating functions on discrete domains into neural networks is key to developing their capability to reason about discrete objects. But, discrete domains are (I) not naturally amenable to gradient-based optimization, and (II) incompatible with deep lear ...

Homotopical relations between 2-dimensional categories and their infinity-analogues

Lyne Moser

In this thesis, we study the homotopical relations of 2-categories, double categories, and their infinity-analogues. For this, we construct homotopy theories for the objects of interest, and show that there are homotopically full embeddings of 2-categories ...

Archiving the Leftovers of Science: Metadata and Histories of Scientific Institutions

Alina Volynskaya

In this article, I focus on digital scientific archives which are made up of the leftovers of science, such as drafts, obsolete instruments, photographs, documentation, etc. The artifacts exhibited in such collections were neither meant to be representatio ...

Learning (from) the Electron Density: Transferability, Conformational and Chemical Diversity

Ksenia Briling, Alberto Fabrizio, Andrea Grisafi

Machine-learning in quantum chemistry is currently booming, with reported applications spanning all molecular properties from simple atomization energies to complex mathematical objects such as the many-body wavefunction. Due to its central role in density ...

Object identity determines transsaccadic integration

Michael Herzog

Very little information is transferred across saccades. It is commonly thought that detailed vision starts mainly anew with each saccade. Here, we show that transsaccadic integration occurs even for very fine grained and unconscious information when object ...

Singularité des slums: Production de l'espace dans la ville indienne

Contemporary urbanism, as a science and ideology, sometimes induces a violence of urbanization that is exercised through formal planning on informal settlements. The latter are marginalized through processes of (in)visibility that exclude them from the cit ...
