As firm as their foundations: creating transferable adversarial examples across downstream tasks with CLIP by Hu, A, Gu, J, Pinto, F, Kamnitsas, K, Torr, PHS

“…Solely based on open-sourced CLIP vision encoders, this method can produce highly effective adversaries that simultaneously fool more than 20 downstream models spanning 4 common vision-language tasks (semantic segmentation, object detection, image captioning and visual question-answering). …”

Fine-scale population structure and widespread conservation of genetic effect sizes between human groups across traits by Hu, S, Ferreira, LAF, Shi, S, Hellenthal, G, Marchini, J, Lawson, DJ, Myers, SR

“…To estimate the similarity of genetic effect sizes between groups, we developed ANCHOR, which estimates changes in the predictive power of an existing PGS in distinct local ancestry segments. ANCHOR infers highly similar (estimated correlation 0.98 ± 0.07) effect sizes between UK Biobank participants of African and European ancestry for 47 of 53 quantitative phenotypes, suggesting that gene–environment and gene–gene interactions do not play major roles in poor cross-ancestry PGS transferability for these traits in the United Kingdom, and providing optimism that shared causal mutations operate similarly in different populations.…”

Instabilities in tidal turbine wakes by Smyth, ASM, Nishino, T, Young, AM

“…Unsteady inflow causes the turbine blades to shed vorticity of time-varying strength into the wake, which in turn leads to a spatial variation in wake vortex strength, such that the vorticity of adjacent returning wake segments can differ. This spatial variation triggers the instability of tip vortices, the characteristics of which are shown to be governed by the ’frequency ratio’ ω/ΩNB (where ω is harmonic inflow frequency, Ω is turbine rotational frequency and NB is the number of blades). …”

Search of the early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational waves from the Cassiopeia A and Vela Jr. supernova remnants by Sudhir, Vivishek

“…We carry out the searches in the LIGO data from the first six months of the third Advanced LIGO and Virgo observing run, using the Weave semi-coherent method, which sums matched-filter detection-statistic values over many time segments spanning the observation period. No gravitational wave signal is detected in the search band of 20--976 Hz for assumed source ages greater than 300 years for Cas A and greater than 700 years for Vela Jr. …”

Exponential tail local Rademacher complexity risk bounds without the Bernstein condition by Kanade, V, Rebeschini, P, Vaškevičius, T

“…Our results apply to improper prediction regimes not directly covered by the classical theory, such as optimal model selection aggregation for arbitrary classes (including infinite and non-convex classes), and early-stopping/iterative regularization; the Bernstein condition does not hold in both examples.…”

Relational persistent homology for multispecies data with application to the tumor microenvironment by Stolz, BJ, Dhesi, J, Bull, JA, Harrington, HA, Byrne, HM, Yoon, IHR

“…We demonstrate that relational topological features can extract biological insight, including the dominant immune cell phenotype (an important predictor of patient prognosis) and the parameter regimes of a data-generating model. The methods provide a quantitative perspective on the relational analysis of multispecies spatial data, overcome the limits of traditional PH, and are readily computable.…”

Financial forecasting using meta-cognitive fuzzy neural networks by Singh Akhand Pratap

“…Other recommendations to target the problem of Financial Prediction in a more comprehensive manner could include addition of data from other sources like social media platforms, current affairs, global search queries, etc. to judge the public sentiment about a company. Another inclusion could have industry or market statistics or compilation of a single model of correlativeness of all the firms with each other that are operating within the market.…”

Coherent superposition of current flows in an atomtronic quantum interference device by Aghamalyan, Davit, Cominotti, Marco, Rizzi, Matteo, Rossini, Davide, Hekking, Frank, Minguzzi, Anna, Kwek, Leong-Chuan, Amico, Luigi

“…The goal of the present study is to corroborate the emergence of an effective two-level system in such a setup and to assess its quality, in terms of its inner resolution and its separation from the rest of the many-body spectrum, across the different physical regimes. In order to achieve this aim, we examine the dependence of the qubit energy gap on the bosonic density, the interaction strength, and the barrier depth, and we show how the superposition between current states appears in the momentum distribution (time-of-flight) images. …”

Non-Markovian refrigeration and heat flow in the quantum switch by Cheong, Jian Wei, Pradana, Andri, Chew, Lock Yue

“…In particular, we compare the quantum switch to the superposition of independent channels where two quantum channels are placed in a superposition, which have no non-Markovian effects, and show that the quantum switch can only outperform the superposition of independent channels in the prethermalization regimes, which also depends on the presence and amount of non-Markovianity. …”
