Augmented Memory: Sample-Efficient Generative Molecular Design with Reinforcement Learning

Philippe Schwaller, Jeff Guo

Sample efficiency is a fundamental challenge in de novo molecular design. Ideally, molecular generative models should learn to satisfy a desired objective under minimal calls to oracles (computational property predictors). This problem becomes more apparen ...

Brain morphometry in older adults with and without dementia using extremely rapid structural scans

Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert

T1-weighted structural MRI is widely used to measure brain morphometry (e.g., cortical thickness and subcortical volumes). Accelerated scans as fast as one minute or less are now available but it is unclear if they are adequate for quantitative morphometry ...

Wind farm power density optimization according to the area size using a novel self-adaptive genetic algorithm

Fernando Porté Agel, Nicolas Otto Kirchner Bossi

This work studies the power density (PD) optimization in wind farms, and its sensitivity to the available area size. A novel genetic algorithm (PDGA) is introduced, which optimizes PD and the turbine layout, by self-adapting to the PD and to the solutions ...

New insights into rodent brain microstructure and metabolism in hepatic encephalopathy

Jessie Julie Mosso

Type C hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a severe neuropsychiatric complication of chronic liver disease, for which the prognosis is poor in the absence of liver transplantation. Cirrhosis in type C HE leads to a toxic accumulation of ammonia in the blood, wh ...

Neurite Exchange Imaging ((NEXI): A minimal model of diffusion in gray matter with inter-compartment water exchange

Alexandre Jean François Marie De Skowronski, Ileana Ozana Jelescu

Biophysical models of diffusion in white matter have been center-stage over the past two decades and are essentially based on what is now commonly referred to as the "Standard Model" (SM) of non-exchanging anisotropic compartments with Gaussian diffusion. ...

Through-Plane Super-Resolution With Autoencoders in Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Developing Human Brain

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard

Fetal brain diffusion magnetic resonance images (MRI) are often acquired with a lower through-plane than in-plane resolution. This anisotropy is often overcome by classical upsampling methods such as linear or cubic interpolation. In this work, we employ a ...

Slice Estimation in Diffusion MRI of Neonatal and Fetal Brains in Image and Spherical Harmonics Domains Using Autoencoders

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Gabriel Girard, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Thomas Yu

Diffusion MRI (dMRI) of the developing brain can provide valuable insights into the white matter development. However, slice thickness in fetal dMRI is typically high (i.e., 3-5 mm) to freeze the in-plane motion, which reduces the sensitivity of the dMRI s ...
