Seeking the new, learning from the unexpected: Computational models of surprise and novelty in the brain

Human babies have a natural desire to interact with new toys and objects, through which they learn how the world around them works, e.g., that glass shatters when dropped, but a rubber ball does not. When their predictions are proven incorrect, such as whe ...

Local invertibility and sensitivity of atomic structure-feature mappings

Michele Ceriotti, Sergey Pozdnyakov

Background: The increasingly common applications of machine-learning schemes to atomic-scale simulations have triggered efforts to better understand the mathematical properties of the mapping between the Cartesian coordinates of the atoms and the variety o ...

Sommerfeld Integrals and Their Relation to the Development of Planar Microwave Devices

Krzysztof Michalski

This paper deals with the mathematical expressions called Sommerfeld integrals. Introduced by A. Sommerfeld in 1909, they are mathematically equivalent to inverse Hankel transforms. The original historical goal of these integrals was to provide an accurate ...

On the collapsibility of measures of effect in the counterfactual causal framework

Mats Julius Stensrud, Anders Huitfeldt

The relationship between collapsibility and confounding has been subject to an extensive and ongoing discussion in the methodological literature. We discuss two subtly different definitions of collapsibility, and show that by considering causal effect meas ...

Adaptive numerical method algorithms for nonlinear viscous and bilinear oil damper models subjected to dynamic loading

Dimitrios Lignos

Adaptive numerical method algorithms are presented for the numerical simulation of the hysteretic behaviour of nonlinear viscous and bilinear oil dampers within a finite element program for nonlinear dynamic analysis of frame structures under earthquake ex ...

Theory Space: The Architecture Studio

Emmanuel Petit

Somewhere around the late 60's, the architectural studio underwent a 'conceptual' turn which, some fifty years later, would unknowingly become the model for the now fashionable 'start-up', 'business incubator' and 'think-tank' spaces that have sprung up fr ...

Analytical expression and experimental validation of the Brillouin gain spectral broadening at any sensing spatial resolution

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Mohammad Mehdi Alem Karladani

A novel and simple analytical expression to describe the Brillouin gain spectral broadening as a function of the spatial resolution in time-domain Brillouin distributed fiber sensors is deduced. The proposed model is experimentally validated using a pump-p ...

Designing modeling notations readers understand

George Popescu

[Context] IT modelers create models to communicate their conceptualization of an organization and to facilitate the collaboration between business and IT people. The story they convey in their models is how the corporate IT systems fulfill the business peo ...

Lightning Location Systems and Interstroke Intervals: Effects of Imperfect Detection Efficiency

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Mirjana Stojilovic

Lightning location systems (LLSs) are often used to obtain parameters of lightning flashes. However, the imperfect detection efficiency (DE) of these systems affects the accuracy of the results. In this paper, we focus on the effects of the imperfect DE on ...
