Accelerometry as a tool for measuring the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation

Objective: We predicted that accelerometry would be a viable alternative to electromyography (EMG) for assessing fundamental Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) measurements (e.g. Resting Motor Threshold (RMT), recruitment curves, latencies). New Metho ...

Time vs. Truth: Age-Distortion Tradeoffs and Strategies for Distributed Inference

Yunus Inan

In 1948, Claude Shannon laid the foundations of information theory, which grew out of a study to find the ultimate limits of source compression, and of reliable communication. Since then, information theory has proved itself not only as a quest to find the ...

FANOK: Knockoffs in Linear Time

Quentin Rebjock

We describe a series of algorithms that efficiently implement Gaussian model-X knockoffs to control the false discovery rate on large-scale feature selection problems. Identifying the knockoff distribution requires solving a large-scale semidefinite progra ...

Testing two competing hypotheses for Eurasian jays' caching for the future

Johanni Michael Brea

Previous research reported that corvids preferentially cache food in a location where no food will be available or cache more of a specific food in a location where this food will not be available. Here, we consider possible explanations for these prospect ...

Assessing tension metrics with dark energy survey and Planck data

Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

Quantifying tensions - inconsistencies amongst measurements of cosmological parameters by different experiments - has emerged as a crucial part of modern cosmological data analysis. Statistically significant tensions between two experiments or cosmological ...

Stabilization of cultural innovations depends on population density: Testing an epidemiological model of cultural evolution against a global dataset of rock art sites and climate-based estimates of ancient population densities

Francesco Casalegno, Taylor Howard Newton

Demographic models of human cultural evolution have high explanatory potential but weak empirical support. Here we use a global dataset of rock art sites and climate and genetics-based estimates of ancient population densities to test a new model based on ...

Quantifying the information impact of future searches for exoplanetary biosignatures

Claudio Grimaldi

One of the major goals for astronomy in the next decades is the remote search for biosignatures (i.e., the spectroscopic evidence of biological activity) in exoplanets. Here we adopt a Bayesian statistical framework to discuss the implications of such futu ...

Time-lapse reconstruction of the fracture front from diffracted waves arrivals in laboratory hydraulic fracture experiments

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Dong Liu, Thomas Emmanuel Blum

4-D acoustic imaging via an array of 32 sources/32 receivers is used to monitor hydraulic fracture (HF) propagating in a 250 mm cubic specimen under a true-triaxial state of stress. We present a method based on the arrivals of diffracted waves to reconstru ...

Remodeling of brain morphology in temporal lobe epilepsy

Lester Melie Garcia

Background Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is one of the most widespread neurological network disorders. Computational anatomy MRI studies demonstrate a robust pattern of cortical volume loss. Most statistical analyses provide information about localiz ...

F-BLEAU: Fast Black-box Leakage Estimation

Giovanni Cherubin

We consider the problem of measuring how much a system reveals about its secret inputs. We work in the black-box setting: we assume no prior knowledge of the system's internals, and we run the system for choices of secrets and measure its leakage from the ...

Low-rank tensor methods for large Markov chains and forward feature selection methods

Francisco Santos Paredes Quartin de Macedo

In the first part of this thesis, we present and compare several approaches for the determination of the steady-state of large-scale Markov chains with an underlying low-rank tensor structure. Such structure is, in our context of interest, associated with ...

A guideline for the validation of likelihood ratio methods used for forensic evidence evaluation

Rudolf Haraksim

This Guideline proposes a protocol for the validation of forensic evaluation methods at the source level, using the Likelihood Ratio framework as defined within the Bayes' inference model. In the context of the inference of identity of source, the Likeliho ...

Validation of likelihood ratio methods for forensic evidence evaluation handling multimodal score distributions

Rudolf Haraksim

This study presents a method for computing likelihood ratios (LRs) from multimodal score distributions, as the ones produced by some commercial off-the-shelf automated fingerprint identification systems (AFISs). The AFIS algorithms used to compare fingerma ...

Efficient Statistical Parameter Selection for Nonlinear Modeling of Process/Performance Variation

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Hassan Ghasemzadeh Mohammadi

With the growing number of process variation sources in deeply nano-scaled technologies, parameterized device and circuit modeling is becoming very important for chip design and verification. However, the high dimensionality of parameter space, for process ...

Is there a common factor for vision?

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Aaron Michael Clarke

In cognition, common factors play a crucial role. For example, different types of intelligence are highly correlated, pointing to a common factor, which is often called g. One might expect that a similar common factor would also exist for vision. Surprisin ...
