The role of oscillations in grid cells’ toroidal topology

The authors present a quantitative approach to evaluating the role of various aspects of data in the emergence of low dimensional, topological, features. Topological features are those that are insensitive to certain deformations of an object, e.g. stretching, but not cutting.

The tumour histopathology “glossary” for AI developers

However, effective translation of AI and deep learning methods requires computational researchers to have at least a basic understanding of histopathology. This work aims to bridge that gap by introducing essential histopathology concepts to support AI developers in their research.

Social mates dynamically coordinate aggressive behavior to produce strategic territorial defense

This study explores how behavioral patterns vary across contexts and alliances. The authors investigate the possibility that resident female and male downy woodpeckers guard their breeding territories from conspecific intruders by deploying defensive behavior in context-specific patterns.

Ten simple rules for good model-sharing practices

This paper suggests 10 simple rules for you to both (i) ensure you share models in a way that is at least “good enough,” and (ii) enable others to lead the change towards better model-sharing practices.

Benchmarking uncertainty quantification for protein engineering

In many cases, the goal of conducting new experiments in protein design is optimizing for a property or improving the machine learning model. Many standard methods for these two tasks require good estimates of the uncertainty in the model’s predictions.

Properties of winning Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma strategies

This study analyzed the performance of a large and diverse collection of IPD strategies across thousands of computer tournaments. While no single strategy consistently excels, successful strategies share key characteristics.
