Collocation methods for nonlinear differential equations on low-rank manifolds
Motivational context determines the impact of aversive outcomes on mental effort allocation
It is well known that people will exert effort on a task if sufficiently motivated, but how they distribute these efforts across different strategies (e.g., efficiency vs. caution) remains uncertain. Past work has shown that people invest effort differently for potential positive outcomes (rewards) versus potential negative outcomes (penalties). Ho...
Benefit of Varying Navigation Strategies in Robot Teams
Inspired by recent human studies, this paper investigates the benefits of employing varying navigation strategies in robot teams. We explore how mixed navigation strategies impact task completion time, environment exploration, and overall system effectiveness in multi-robot systems. Experiments were conducted in a simulated rectangular environment ...
Recollection and familiarity support auditory working memory in a manner analogous to visual working memory
Prior work has suggested that visual working memory as measured in change detection tasks can be based on recollection, whereby participants consciously identify a specific feature of a stimulus that has changed, or on familiarity, whereby participants sense that a change has occurred but are unable to consciously access what has changed. Whether r...
An algorithmic account for how humans efficiently learn, transfer, and compose hierarchically structured decision polici...
Learning structures that effectively abstract decision policies is key to the flexibility of human intelligence. Previous work has shown that humans use hierarchically structured policies to efficiently navigate complex and dynamic environments. However, the computational processes that support the learning and construction of such policies remain ...
Wavelet Deep Learning Network for Objective Retinal Functional Estimation from Multimodal Retinal Imaging
Extractivism and the ecology of research infrastructure: digitizing precarious materialities in Iquitos, Peru
Evolving to Find Optimizations Humans Miss: Using Evolutionary Computation to Improve GPU Code for Bioinformatics Applic...
GPUs are used in many settings to accelerate large-scale scientific computation, including simulation, computational biology, and molecular dynamics. However, optimizing codes to run efficiently on GPUs requires developers to have both detailed understanding of the application logic and significant knowledge of parallel programming and GPU architec...
The Impact of Generative AI on Creativity in Software Development: A Research Agenda
...
As GenAI becomes embedded in developer toolchains and practices, and routine code is increasingly generated, human creativity will be increasingly important for generating competitive advantage. This paper uses the McLuhan tetrad alongside scenarios of how GenAI may disrupt software development more broadly, to identify potential impacts GenAI may ...
MIBiG 4.0: advancing biosynthetic gene cluster curation through global collaboration
...
Specialized or secondary metabolites are small molecules of biological origin, often showing potent biological activities with applications in agriculture, engineering and medicine. Usually, the biosynthesis of these natural products is governed by sets of co-regulated and physically clustered genes known as biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). To sh...
