The emergence of compositional grammars in artificial codes by Hong, Fuhai, Lim, Wooyoung, Zhao, Xiaojian

“…In a communication game with no conflict of interest, the sender sends a message that is an arbitrary string from available symbols with no prior meaning to indicate an abstract geometrical figure to the receiver. We find strong evidence from the laboratory for the emergence of compositional grammars in the subjects' common codes that facilitate learning efficiency. …”

A structural interpretation of the aftershock "cloud" of the 1992 Mw 7.3 Landers earthquake by Liu, Jing, Sieh, Kerry, Hauksson, Egill

“…We analyze the spatial relationship of relocated aftershocks to the principal rupture planes of the Mw 7.3 1992 Landers mainshock from a structural point of view. We find that the aftershocks constitute primarily a several-kilometer-wide damage zone centered on the mainshock rupture planes. …”

RanDumb: random representations outperform online continually learned representations by Prabhu, A, Sinha, S, Kumaraguru, P, Torr, PHS, Sener, O, Dokania, PK

“…Extending our investigation to popular exemplar-free scenarios with pretrained models, we find that training only a linear classifier on top of pretrained representations surpasses most continual fine-tuning and prompt-tuning strategies. …”

At your service! The role of tax havens in international trade with services by Hebous, S, Johannesen, N

“…The analysis employs a unique firm-level dataset with detailed information about&nbsp;service trade&nbsp;and foreign affiliates for virtually all&nbsp;multinational firms&nbsp;in Germany. We find patterns consistent with profit shifting in service categories such as&nbsp;intellectual property&nbsp;(patents and trademarks),&nbsp;<em>headquarter services</em>(administration, management and advertizing),&nbsp;<em>information services</em>(data processing and storage) and&nbsp;financial services&nbsp;(investment, lending and money management). …”

Bacterial phylogenetic reconstruction from whole genomes is robust to recombination but demographic inference is not by Hedge, J, Wilson, DJ

“…Since many researchers continue to use phylogenetics for recombining bacteria, it is important to understand how recombination affects the conclusions drawn from these analyses. We find that whole-genome sequences afford great accuracy in reconstructing evolutionary relationships despite concerns surrounding the presence of recombination, but the branch lengths of the phylogenetic tree are indeed badly distorted. …”

Winner–loser plant trait replacements in human-modified tropical forests by Pinho, BX, Melo, FPL, ter Braak, CJF, Bauman, D, Maréchaux, I, Tabarelli, M, Benchimol, M, Arroyo-Rodriguez, V, Santos, BA, Hawes, JE, Berenguer, E, Ferreira, J, Silveira, JM, Peres, CA, Rocha‐Santos, L, Souza, FC, Gonçalves-Souza, T, Mariano-Neto, E, Faria, D, Barlow, J

“…Combining floristic and functional trait data for 1,207 tree species across 271 forest plots, we find that forest loss consistently caused an increased dominance of low-density woods and small seeds dispersed by endozoochory (winner traits) and the loss of distinctive traits, such as extremely dense woods and large seeds dispersed by synzoochory (loser traits). …”

Current affairs: a security measurement study of CCS EV charging deployments by Szakály, M, Köhler, S, Martinovic, I

“…In our evaluation, we examine 325 chargers manufactured between April 2013 and June 2023, and installed as late as May 2024 by 26 manufacturers across 4 European countries. We find that only 12% of the charging stations we analyzed implement TLS at all, leaving all others vulnerable to attacks that have already been demonstrated many years ago. …”
