Improving SAM Requires Rethinking its Optimization Formulation

Volkan Cevher, Kimon Antonakopoulos, Thomas Michaelsen Pethick, Wanyun Xie, Fabian Ricardo Latorre Gomez

This paper rethinks Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM), which is originally formulated as a zero-sum game where the weights of a network and a bounded perturbation try to minimize/maximize, respectively, the same differentiable loss. We argue that SAM shou ...

Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records

Orion B Penner

Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs ...

Glutamine-to-glutamate ratio in the nucleus accumbens predicts effort-based motivated performance in humans

Rolf Gruetter, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Lijing Xin, Alina Veronika Irene Strasser, Gediminas Luksys

Substantial evidence implicates the nucleus accumbens in motivated performance, but very little is known about the neurochemical underpinnings of individual differences in motivation. Here, we applied 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) at ultra-hi ...

The diagnostic potential of multimodal neuroimaging measures in Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonism

Chang-Hyun Park

Introduction For the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (AP) using neuroimaging, structural measures have been largely employed since structural abnormalities are most noticeable in the diseases. Functional abnormalities have b ...

A Computational Approach for the Design of Epidural Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation Strategies to Enable Locomotion after Spinal Cord Injury

Emanuele Formento

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major cause of paralysis with currently no effective treatment. Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the lumbar spinal cord has been shown to restore locomotion in animal models of SCI, but has not yet reached the same lev ...
