Descriptor learning for efficient retrieval by Philbin, J, Isard, M, Sivic, J, Zisserman, A

“…This paper aims to reduce these quantization errors at source, by learning a projection from descriptor space to a new Euclidean space in which standard clustering techniques are more likely to assign matching descriptors to the same cluster, and non-matching descriptors to different clusters.…”

The zinc-finger transcription factor Blimp1/Prdm1 is required for uterine remodelling and repair in the mouse by Xypolita, M, Goolam, M, Bikoff, EK, Robertson, EJ, Mould, AW

“…RNA-seq together with immunostaining experiments strongly suggest that the failure to up-regulate expression of the matrix metalloprotease Mmp10 in combination with insufficient suppression of BMP signalling, likely explain Blimp1-dependent phenotypic changes. …”

Compute North vs. Compute South: the uneven possibilities of compute-based AI governance around the globe by Lehdonvirta, V, Wú, B, Hawkins, Z

“…In this governance model, states that host AI compute capacity within their territorial jurisdictions are likely to be better placed to impose their rules on AI systems than states that do not. …”

The geopolitical crisis may trigger changes in energy strategies by Weafer, C

“…Projects to rectify perceived supply and customer risk are likely to proceed at a faster pace than was expected only six months ago.…”

Ethical issues in Nipah virus control and research: addressing a neglected disease by Johnson, T, Jamrozik, E, Hurst, T, Cheah, PY, Parker, M

“…Further bioethics work may help to ensure that research and public health interventions for Nipah virus disease are ethically acceptable and more likely to be effective.…”

Developing a framework for tracking antimicrobial resistance gene movement in a persistent environmental reservoir by Mathers, AJ, Li, TJX, He, Q, Narendra, S, Stoesser, N, Eyre, DW, Walker, AS, Barry, KE, Castañeda-Barba, S, Huang, FW, Parikh, H, Kotay, S, Crook, DW, Reidys, C

“…The Composite Sample Complex accounts for the co-occurrence of both plasmids and chromosomes within an isolate, and highlights likely gene donors and recipients. From the validated model, we demonstrate frequent transposition events of blaKPC from plasmids to other plasmids, as well as integration into the bacterial chromosome within specific drains. …”

Policies in parallel? A comparative study of journalistic AI policies in 52 global news organisations by Becker, KB, Simon, FM, Crum, C

“…Drawing from neo-institutional theory and institutional isomorphism, we argue that the policies show signs of homogeneity, likely explained by isomorphic dynamics arising as a response to the uncertainty created by the rise of generative AI after the release of ChatGPT in November 2022. …”

Naturalistic multimodal emotion data with deep learning can advance the theoretical understanding of emotion by Angkasirisan, T

“…This enduring fragmentation likely stems from the limitations of traditional research methods, which often adopt narrow methodological approaches. …”

Highlighting the role of biota in feedback loops from tundra ecosystems to the atmosphere by Schmidt, NM, Barrio, IC, Kristensen, JA, López-Blanco, E, van Beest, FM

“…However, biota may still play important roles in modulating ecosystem feedback loops, and by including these dynamics into ecosystem models, magnitude, accuracy and credibility of model projections are likely to improve.…”

Radio map position inference algorithm for indoor positioning systems by Liu, Wei, Ng, Bing Qiang, Liu, Bin, Guan, Yong Liang, Leow, Yan Hao, Huang, Jun

“…During operation phase an inference algorithm, based on Bayesian probability and distance of the calibrated points involved, can determine the likely position of the object of interest that is between the calibrated points. …”

Between personalized and racialized precision medicine : a relative resources perspective by Sun, Shirley

“…The author elaborates on the ‘heterogeneity of resources’ and suggests that the extent to which precision medicine will be personalized or racialized/ethnicized in the clinic will most likely be a function of the relative availability of resources – including but not limited to financial, human and computer informatics, and legal and infrastructural resources – at individual and collective levels in healthcare contexts.…”

Why East Asian war is unlikely by Bitzinger, Richard A., Desker, Barry

“…In particular, the emergence of a more assertive China does not mean a more aggressive China or that war in Asia is more likely. While Beijing may be increasingly pushing its own agenda in regional international affairs, and while it may seek to displace the United States as the regional hegemon, this does not automatically translate into an expansionist China. …”

Molecular architecture of the Chikungunya virus replication complex by Tan, Yaw Bia, Chmielewski, David, Law, Michelle Cheok Yien, Zhang, Kuo, He, Yu, Chen, Muyuan, Jin, Jing, Luo, Dahai

“…These results represent a major conceptual advance in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of RNA virus replication and the principles underlying the molecular architecture of RCs, likely to be shared with many pathogenic (+) RNA viruses.…”

Enhanced monsoon-driven upwelling in Southeast Asia during the Little Ice Age by Chen, Mengli, Martin, Patrick, Ren, Haojia, Zhang, Run, Samanta, Dhrubajyoti, Chen, Yi-Chi, Hughen, Konrad A., Phan, Kim Hoang, Vo, Si Tuan, Goodkin, Nathalie Fairbank

“…Climate change impacts ocean nutrient availability and will likely alter the marine food web. While climate models predict decreased average ocean productivity, the extent of these changes, especially in the marginal seas upon which large human populations depend, is not well understood. …”

Think Twice Before Going for Incentives: Social Norms and the Principal's Decision on Compensation Contracts by Cardinaels, Eddy, Yin, Huaxiang

“…When principals use incentives, their choices not only incentivize truthful reporting and signal distrust, but they also leak important information about the social norm, namely, that other agents are likely to report dishonestly. Agents conform to this social norm by misrepresenting cost information more. …”

Entropic centrality for non-atomic flow networks by Oggier, Frédérique, Phetsouvanh, Silivanxay, Datta, Anwitaman

“…Given a graph, the notion of entropic centrality was introduced by Tutzauer to characterize vertices which are important in the sense that there is a high uncertainty about the destination of an atomic flow starting at them, assuming that at each hop, the flow is equally likely to continue to any unvisited vertex, or to be terminated there. …”

Southeast Asian maritime security in the age of terror : threats, opportunity, and charting the course forward by Bradford, John

“…The potential application of those factors is assessed to anticipate the most likely forms of future regional cooperation. While cooperation will expand on many levels, the most fruitful cooperation will result from improved networks of bilateral relationships. …”

News sharing in social media : the effect of gratifications and prior experience by Lee, Chei Sian, Ma, Long

“…Results from structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis revealed that respondents who were driven by gratifications of information seeking, socializing, and status seeking were more likely to share news in social media platforms. Prior experience with social media was also a significant determinant of news sharing intention. …”
