Synthetic Disinformation Attacks on Automated Fact Verification Systems

Antoine Bosselut

Automated fact-checking is a needed technology to curtail the spread of online misinformation. One current framework for such solutions proposes to verify claims by retrieving supporting or refuting evidence from related textual sources. However, the reali ...

Microscopic interplay of temperature and disorder of a one-dimensional elastic interface

Elisabeth Agoritsas

Elastic interfaces display scale-invariant geometrical fluctuations at sufficiently large lengthscales. Their asymptotic static roughness then follows a power-law behavior, whose associated exponent provides a robust signature of the universality class to ...

Swelling and shrinkage of partially saturated gas shales: from laboratory tests to an effective stress framework

Jinwoo Kim

Gas shale swelling during hydraulic stimulation is one of the major challenges in unconventional gas development. It is hypothesized that the large volumetric strain upon water imbibition is a consequence of dramatic changes in capillary pressure and disjo ...

Optimal Combination Policies For Adaptive Social Learning

Stefan Vlaski, Virginia Bordignon, Ping Hu

This paper investigates the effect of combination policies on the performance of adaptive social learning in non-stationary environments. By analyzing the relation between the error probability and the underlying graph topology, we prove that in the slow a ...

New Insights Into the Pivotal Role of CREB-Regulated Transcription Coactivator 1 in Depression and Comorbid Obesity

Antoine Timothée Cherix

Depression and obesity are major public health concerns, and there is mounting evidence that they share etiopathophysiological mechanisms. The neurobiological pathways involved in both mood and energy balance regulation are complex, multifactorial and stil ...

Sense of agency for intracortical brain-machine interfaces

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Marco Solcà, Pavo Orepic, Tommaso Enrico Bertoni

Intracortical brain-machine interfaces decode motor commands from neural signals and translate them into actions, enabling movement for paralysed individuals. The subjective sense of agency associated with actions generated via intracortical brain-machine ...

Selective area epitaxy of GaAs: the unintuitive role of feature size and pitch

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Martin George Friedl, Lucas Güniat, Didem Dede, Nicholas Paul Morgan, Valerio Piazza, Akshay Balgarkashi, Elif Nur Dayi

Selective area epitaxy (SAE) provides the path for scalable fabrication of semiconductor nanostructures in a device-compatible configuration. In the current paradigm, SAE is understood as localized epitaxy, and is modelled by combining planar and self-asse ...
