Identifying actionable serial correlations in financial markets by Cheong, Siew Ann, Lee, Yann Wei, Li, Ying Ying, Lim, Jia Qing, Tan, Jadie Jiok Duan, Teo, Joan Xin Ping

“…To do so, we downloaded daily closing prices of the Dow Jones Industrial Average component stocks, as well as various assets like stock market indices, United States government bonds, precious metals, commodities, oil and gas, and foreign exchange. We mapped each financial instrument to a letter and their upward movements to words, before testing the frequencies of these words against a null model obtained by reshuffling the empirical time series. …”

Direct measurement of a non-Hermitian topological invariant in a hybrid light-matter system by Su, Rui, Estrecho, Eliezer, Biegańska, Dąbrówka, Huang, Yuqing, Wurdack, Matthias, Pieczarka, Maciej, Truscott, Andrew G., Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Ostrovskaya, Elena A., Xiong, Qihua

“…These are hybrid light-matter quasiparticles formed by photons strongly coupled to electron-hole pairs (excitons) in a halide perovskite semiconductor at room temperature. We experimentally map out both the real (energy) and imaginary (linewidth) parts of the spectrum near the exceptional points and extract the novel topological invariant—fractional spectral winding. …”

Image representation and deep inception-attention for file-type and malware classification by Wang, Yi, Wu, Kejun, Liu, Wenyang, Yap, Kim-Hui, Chau, Lap-Pui

“…With binary images as inputs, we propose a deep inception-attention network to extract discriminate horizontal features and re-calibrate the weights of feature maps, and finally, predict file types. Experiments on a large-scale benchmark show the superiority of the proposed model. …”

Islands’ Metamorphoses: Two River Islands in Nanjing, China, as a Case Study in Historical Toponymy and Cartography by Xu, Duoduo

“…The present study illustrates the historical toponymy and historical topography of two river islands (located in the riverbed of the Yangtze River), belonging to the Nanjing’s territory, China, starting the toponymic analysis from a collection of ancient maps. The current Bailu Zhou island has inherited its name from a Li Bai’s poem after the ancient Bailu Zhou ‘disappeared’ because of hydro-geo-morphological events over time. …”

Genome-wide association analysis provides insights into the molecular etiology of dilated cardiomyopathy by Zheng, SL, Henry, A, Cannie, D, Lee, M, Miller, D, McGurk, KA, Bond, I, Xu, X, Issa, H, Francis, C, De Marvao, A, Theotokis, PI, Buchan, RJ, Speed, D, Abner, E, Adams, L, Aragam, KG, Ärnlöv, J, Raja, AA, Backman, JD, Baksi, J, Barton, PJR, Biddinger, KJ, Boersma, E, Lindgren, CM

“…We identified 80 genomic risk loci and prioritized 62 putative effector genes, including several with rare variant DCM associations (MAP3K7, NEDD4L and SSPN). Using single-nucleus transcriptomics, we identify cellular states, biological pathways, and intracellular communications that drive pathogenesis. …”

Data Sculptures as a Playful and Low-Tech Introduction to Working with Data by Bhargava, Rahul, D'Ignazio, Catherine

“…This paper argues that activities focused on building physical manifestations of data, where some variable is mapped onto a physical artifact, are uniquely well-suited to scaffolding a process and exposing learners to methods so that they may take the next step in a learning journey. …”

Economic outcomes predicted by diversity in cities by Chong, Shi Kai, Bahrami, Mohsen, Chen, Hao, Balcisoy, Selim, Pentland, Alex

“…In this paper we show that diversity of amenities within a city neighborhood, computed from openly available points of interest on digital maps, accurately predicts human mobility (“flows”) between city neighborhoods and that these flows accurately predict neighborhood economic productivity. …”

Joint PAPR Reduction and Physical Layer Security Enhancement in OFDMA-PON by Zhang, Wei, Zhang, Chongfu, Chen, Chen, Jin, Wei, Qiu, Kun

“…In encrypting, the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) parts of the quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) symbols are coded with two phase sequences separately, which are generated using a 2-D logistic map. The encrypted OFDM symbols comprise an OFDM frame, and the frame with the minimum PAPR is transmitted to the optical network unit side. …”

Cross-Modal Deep Variational Hashing by Liong, Venice Erin, Lu, Jiwen, Zhou, Jie, Tan, Yap Peng

“…Unlike most existing cross-modal hashing methods which learn a single pair of projections to map each example into a binary vector, we design a deep fusion neural network to learn non-linear transformations from image-text input pairs, such that a unified binary code is achieved in a discrete and discriminative manner using a classification-based hinge-loss criterion. …”

An Energy-Efficient Digital ReRAM-Crossbar-Based CNN With Bitwise Parallelism by Ni, Leibin, Liu, Zichuan, Yu, Hao, Joshi, Rajiv V.

“…In this paper, we present a resistive random access memory (ReRAM)-accelerated CNN that can achieve significantly higher throughput and energy efficiency when the CNN is trained with binary constraints on both weights and activations, and is further mapped on a digital ReRAM-crossbar. We propose an optimized accelerator architecture tailored for bitwise convolution that features massive parallelism with high energy efficiency. …”
