Robust effects of working memory demand during naturalistic language comprehension in language-selective cortex by Shain, Cory, Blank, Idan A, Fedorenko, Evelina, Gibson, Edward, Schuler, William

“…Further, these memory operations appear to be primarily carried out by the same neural resources that store linguistic knowledge, with no evidence of involvement of brain regions known to support working memory across domains.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT:This study uses fMRI to investigate signatures of working memory (WM) demand during naturalistic story listening, using a broad range of theoretically motivated estimates of WM demand. …”

Context and Participation in Machine Learning by Suresh, Harini

“…We first develop two frameworks that lend clarity to the human choices that shape ML systems and the broad populations that these systems affect. These inform a prospective question: how can we shape new systems from the start to reflect context-specific needs and benefit justice and equity? …”

Automated Data-driven Algorithm and Mechanism Design in Online Advertising Markets by Liang, Jason Cheuk Nam

“…While autobidding significantly simplifies and scales up ad procurement processes, it also brings about new challenges: for advertisers, the simplification to ad procurement comes at the cost of information dilution as advertisers no longer have access to granular procurement details; for ad platforms, booming advertiser activities have incentivized growing sophistication in advertising campaign and objectives. …”

The Current State of the Commercial Real Estate Office Sector by Dessalines, Nick

“…According to commercial real estate services firm, CBRE, the U.S. national office market reported 16.5 million sq. ft. of negative net absorption in Q1 2023 (the weakest quarter for office demand in two years), bringing overall vacancy up to 17.8%. The concept of remote working has long been criticized and rejected. …”

Geometry of Sensitivity: Twice Sampling and Hybrid Clipping in Differential Privacy with Optimal Gaussian Noise and Application to Deep Learning by Xiao, Hanshen, Wan, Jun, Devadas, Srinivas

“…Our results are both negative and positive: on one hand, we show the curse of dimensionality is tight for a broad class of sensitivity sets satisfying certain symmetry properties; but if, fortunately, the representation of the sensitivity set is asymmetric on some group of orthogonal bases, we show the optimal noise bounds need not be explicitly dependent on either dimension or rank. …”

Development of Broadband Semiconductor Laser Frequency Combs by Zeng, Tianyi

“…While the long-time development effort in high power IR QCLs have led to demonstrations of watt-level midIR QCL, there is a lack of an integrated, deterministic, broadly-applicable and efficient solution to expand the comb bandwidth for arbitrary broadband QCL gain medium. …”

Inference from Limited Observations in Statistical, Dynamical, and Functional Problems by Stepaniants, George

“…Observational data in physics and the life sciences comes in many varieties. Broadly, we can divide datasets into cross-sectional data which record a set of observations at a given time, dynamical data which follow how observations change in time, and functional data which observe data points over a space (and possibly time) domain. …”
