OOD detection for 1D LiDAR scans by Mishra, Pradyumn

“…This paper focuses on enhancing OOD detection in the context of LiDAR-based autonomous vehicle navigation, using VAEs and β-VAEs, the latter designed to encourage disentanglement in the latent space by adjusting a regularization parameter, β. Additionally, this study evaluates the models on varied track environments using the F1tenth framework, to measure of these OOD detection architectures across varied environments.…”

Designing negotiation agents for automated negotiating agents competition (ANAC) by Chen, Kevin Xian Fa

“…XianFaAgent takes an exploitative stance at the start of a negotiation session and estimates the opponent’s concessive behavior to make adjustments on how much it should concede. XianFaAgent also bases its own concessive function based on the degree of similarity of preferences amongst the competing agents, ensuring that it is not short-change of too much utility in cases where optimal social welfare can be achieved. …”

Neonatal antipredator tactics shape female movement patterns in large herbivores by Atmeh, K, Bonenfant, C, Gaillard, J-M, Droge, E

“…Here, using a comparative analysis across 54 populations of 23 species of large herbivores from 5 ungulate families (Bovidae, Cervidae, Equidae, Antilocapridae and Giraffidae), we show that mothers adjust their movements to variation in resource productivity and heterogeneity according to their offspring’s neonatal tactic. …”

Cell state-dependent allelic effects and contextual Mendelian randomization analysis for human brain phenotypes by Haglund, A, Zuber, V, Abouzeid, M, Yang, Y, Ko, JH, Wiemann, L, Otero-Jimenez, M, Muhammed, L, Feleke, R, Nott, A, Mills, JD, Laaniste, L, Gveric, DO, Clode, D, Babtie, AC, Pagni, S, Bellampalli, R, Somani, A, McDade, K, Anink, JJ, Mesarosova, L, Fancy, N, Willumsen, N, Smith, A

“…Across 501 colocalizations for 30 CNS traits, 23.6% had a disease dependency, even after adjusting for disease status. To estimate the unconfounded effect of genes on outcomes, we repeated the analysis using nondiseased brains (n = 183) and reported an additional 91 colocalizations not present in the larger mixed disease and control dataset, demonstrating enhanced interpretation of disease-associated variants. …”
