Biases in Information Selection and Processing: Survey Evidence from the Pandemic

We conduct two survey experiments to study which information people choose to consume and how it affects their beliefs. In the first experiment, respondents choose between optimistic and pessimistic article headlines related to the COVID-19 pandemic and ar ...

Physical Body Orientation Impacts Virtual Navigation Experience and Performance

Olaf Blanke, Hyukjun Moon, Emanuela De Falco, Hsin-Ping Wu

Most human navigation studies in MRI rely on virtual navigation. However, the necessary supine position in MRI makes it fundamentally different from daily ecological navigation. Nonetheless, until now, no study has assessed whether differences in physical ...

Incremental Learning in Diagonal Linear Networks

Raphaël Jean Berthier

Diagonal linear networks (DLNs) are a toy simplification of artificial neural networks; they consist in a quadratic reparametrization of linear regression inducing a sparse implicit regularization. In this paper, we describe the trajectory of the gradient ...

Towards Understanding Sharpness-Aware Minimization

Maksym Andriushchenko, Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion

Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) is a recent training method that relies on worst-case weight perturbations which significantly improves generalization in various settings. We argue that the existing justifications for the success of SAM which are based ...

Implicit Bias of SGD for Diagonal Linear Networks: a Provable Benefit of Stochasticity

Scott William Pesme, Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion, Loucas Pillaud-Vivien

Understanding the implicit bias of training algorithms is of crucial importance in order to explain the success of overparametrised neural networks. In this paper, we study the dynamics of stochastic gradient descent over diagonal linear networks through i ...

About common factors in vision

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Simona Adele Garobbio, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Dario Alejandro Gordillo Lopez

Often, we intuitively assume that there are common factors in life. For example, we test people with a visual acuity test to determine whether they are allowed to drive a car or not- with the implicit assumption that the acuity test is representative of vi ...

The Dimension of the Body in Higher Education: Matrix of Meanings in Students’ Diaries

Simon Nessim Henein, Ramiro Tau

In this paper, we attempt to show some consequences of bringing the body back into higher education, through the use of performing arts in the curricular context of scientific programs. We start by arguing that dominant traditions in higher education repro ...

Treatment of the implicit effect in Shark-X

Hakim Ferroukhi, Alexander Vasiliev, Mathieu Hursin

Shark-X is a set of Perl-based tools build around the deterministic neutron transport code CASMO-5, used to perform uncertainty quantification for lattice calculations at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI). While perturbing an input parameter, e.g. a cross s ...

Sensorimotor conflicts alter metacognitive and action monitoring

Olaf Blanke, Laurène Véronique Vuillaume, Roy Salomon, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Fosco Bernasconi

While sensorimotor signals are known to modulate perception, little is known about their influence on higher-level cognitive processes. Here, we applied sensorimotor conflicts while participants performed a perceptual task followed by confidence judgments. ...

Learning Symmetry with Tangible Robots

Francesco Mondada, Pierre Dillenbourg, Morgane Solène Denise Chevalier, Ayberk Özgür, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal

Robots bring a new potential for embodied learning in classrooms. With our project, we aim to ease the task for teachers and to show the worth of tangible manipulation of robots in educational contexts. In this article, we present the design and the evalua ...

Absolute band alignment at semiconductor-water interfaces using explicit and implicit descriptions for liquid water

Alfredo Pasquarello, Nicola Marzari, Oliviero Andreussi, Zhendong Guo, Francesco Ambrosio

Quantum mechanical simulations that include the effects of the liquid environment are highly relevant for the characterization of solid-liquid interfaces, which is crucial for the design of a wide range of devices. In this work we present a rigorous and sy ...

Sexual conflict drives male manipulation of female postmating responses in Drosophila melanogaster

Laurent Keller, Brian Dennis Hollis

In many animals, females respond to mating with changes in physiology and behavior that are triggered by molecules transferred by males during mating. In Drosophila melanogaster, proteins in the seminal fluid are responsible for important female postmating ...

Does gender-sensitive teacher training have a place in Engineering Education? Assessing pedagogical training as a step towards gender-inclusive curricula

Ingrid Le Duc, Siara Ruth Isaac, Roland John Tormey, Cécile Hardebolle

Teaching advisors work to sensitize teachers to use inclusive teaching pedagogy because it facilitates learning to all students and makes teachers aware of how the gender composition of a class and its management can promote or hamper student learning and ...

Between the Lines: On the Explicit and Implicit in Writing and Building

Matthew Skjonsberg

Narratives employed when writing about a place and building a place have a central theme in common: both weave between the human, personal and emotional experience of place and the physical, spatial and atmospheric place – a dialogue between the inner and ...

A monolithic algorithm for the simulation of cardiac electromechanics in the human left ventricle

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Antonello Gerbi

In this paper, we propose a monolithic algorithm for the numerical solution of the electromechanics model of the left ventricle in the human heart. Our coupled model integrates the monodomain equation with the Bueno-Orovio minimal model for electrophysiolo ...

Sex differentiation in grayling (Salmonidae) goes through an all-male stage and is delayed in genetic males who instead grow faster

Oliver Michele Selmoni

Fish populations can be threatened by distorted sex ratios that arise during sex differentiation. Here we describe sex differentiation in a wild grayling (Thymallus thymallus) population that suffers from distorted sex ratios. We verified that sex determin ...

Conceptual processing is referenced to the experienced location of the self, not to the location of the physical body

Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri

We tested whether an experimentally induced change in the experienced location of the self by means of the Full Body Illusion (FBI) would impact high-level cognitive processing. In an implicit association task, participants saw a landscape where words, con ...

The Formal and Hidden Curricula of Ethics in Engineering Education

Ingrid Le Duc, Siara Ruth Isaac, Roland John Tormey, Isabelle Barbara Marie-Hélène Cardia, Cécile Hardebolle

In recent years, a commitment to professional ethics and professional responsibility has been included among the learning outcomes required of engineering education programmes in many counties. So, how should engineering ethics be taught? There is evidence ...
