A cell fitness selection model for neuronal survival during development

Developmental cell death plays an important role in the construction of functional neural circuits. In vertebrates, the canonical view proposes a selection of the surviving neurons through stochastic competition for target-derived neurotrophic signals, imp ...

A method for improving ideas selection in crowdsourcing

Gianluigi Viscusi

This paper presents an early-stage application of the design science research (DSR) method to obtain a new idea selection approach, which uses clustering to filter ideas while taking into account the seeker’s goals and the learning dynamics. Most of previo ...

Topology classification with deep learning to improve real-time event selection at the LHC

Roberto Castello

We show how an event topology classification based on deep learning could be used to improve the purity of data samples selected in real-time at the Large Hadron Collider. We consider different data representations, on which different kinds of multi-class ...

Polarization dependence of angle-resolved photoemission with submicron spatial resolution reveals emerging one-dimensionality of electrons in NbSe3

Marco Grioni, Helmuth Berger, Emmanouil Frantzeskakis, Miguel Angel Valbuena

In materials with nearly commensurate band filling the electron liquid may spontaneously separate into components with distinct properties, yielding complex intra- and interunit cell ordering patterns and a reduced dimensionality. Polarization-dependent an ...

Exploiting semi-supervised training through a dropout regularization in end-to-end speech recognition

Petr Motlicek, Subhadeep Dey

In this paper, we explore various approaches for semi- supervised learning in an end-to-end automatic speech recog- nition (ASR) framework. The first step in our approach in- volves training a seed model on the limited amount of labelled data. Additional u ...

Neighbor predation linked to natural competence fosters the transfer of large genomic regions in Vibrio cholerae

Melanie Blokesch, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Christian Iseli, Sandrine Stutzmann, Candice Stoudmann, Noémie Matthey

Natural competence for transformation is a primary mode of horizontal gene transfer. Competent bacteria are able to absorb free DNA from their surroundings and exchange this DNA against pieces of their own genome when sufficiently homologous. However, the ...

DNA-uptake pili of Vibrio cholerae are required for chitin colonization and capable of kin recognition via sequence-specific self-interaction

Melanie Blokesch, Sandrine Stutzmann, Candice Stoudmann, David William Adams

How bacteria colonize surfaces and how they distinguish the individuals around them are fundamental biological questions. Type IV pili are a widespread and multipurpose class of cell surface polymers. Here we directly visualize the DNA-uptake pilus of Vibr ...

Efficient Greedy Coordinate Descent for Composite Problems

Martin Jaggi, Sebastian Urban Stich, Anastasiia Koloskova, Sai Praneeth Reddy Karimireddy

Coordinate descent with random coordinate selection is the current state of the art for many large scale optimization problems. However, greedy selection of the steepest coordinate on smooth problems can yield convergence rates independent of the dimension ...

Social network plasticity decreases disease transmission in a eusocial insect

Alessandro Crespi, Laurent Keller

Animal social networks are shaped by multiple selection pressures, including the need to ensure efficient communication and functioning while simultaneously limiting disease transmission. Social animals could potentially further reduce epidemic risk by alt ...
