The enduring importance of the “fine cuts” approach to psychology: EPS Mid-Career Award Lecture 2024 by Bird, G

“…In this article, I take a selective review of work undertaken by my colleagues and me in an attempt to show the enduring importance of the “fine cuts” approach to psychology. This approach highlights the importance of causal, specific, and falsifiable psychological models, and the rigorous experimental designs needed to test them. …”

Microbubble-mediated sonoporation for highly efficient transfection of recalcitrant human B-cell lines by Yong, Charlene Li Ling, Ow, Dave Siak-Wei, Tandiono, Tandiono, Heng, Lisa Li Mei, Chan, Ken Kwok-Keung, Ohl, Claus-Dieter, Klaseboer, Evert, Ohl, Siew-Wan, Choo1, Andre Boon-Hwa

“…Here, we present sonoporation as a feasible non-viral strategy for stable and highly efficient heterologous transfection of recalcitrant B-cell lines. This is the first demonstration of a non-viral method yielding transfection efficiencies significantly higher (42%) than the best reported values of electroporation (30%) for Ramos B-cell lines.…”

Evaluating Adaptive Layer Freezing through Hyperparameter Optimization for Enhanced Fine-Tuning Performance of Language Models by Figueroa, Reinaldo

“…Conversely, overfitting is highly likely to occur when training on small datasets. This thesis proposes and evaluates a new method for fine-tuning language models by adaptively choosing specific learning rates for each transformer layer that provide higher performance on in-domain low-volume datasets. …”

An Effective Med-VQA Method Using a Transformer with Weights Fusion of Multiple Fine-Tuned Models by Al-Hadhrami, Suheer, Menai, Mohamed El Bachir, Al-Ahmadi, Saad, Alnafessah, Ahmad

“…The second model, the greedy-soup-based model, uses a greedy soup technique based on the fusion of multiple fine-tuned models to set the model parameters. The greedy soup selects the model parameters by fusing the model parameters that have significant performance on the validation accuracy in training. …”

On-line optimization of biomimetic undulatory swimming by an experiment-based approach by Zhou, Chunlin, Low, Kin Huat

“…An experiment-based approach is proposed to improve the performance of biomimetic undulatory locomotion through on-line optimization. The approach is implemented through two steps: (1) the generation of coordinated swimming gaits by artificial Central Pattern Generators (CPGs); (2) an on-line searching of optimal parameter sets for the CPG model using Genetic Algorithm (GA). …”
