Focal Loss for Dense Object Detection

The highest accuracy object detectors to date are based on a two-stage approach popularized by R-CNN, where a classifier is applied to a sparse set of candidate object locations...

Fast, sensitive and accurate integration of single-cell data with Harmony

Dating of the human-ape splitting by a molecular clock of mitochondrial DNA

Structural Holes

Detection of widespread horizontal pleiotropy in causal relationships inferred from Mendelian randomization between complex traits and diseases

ape 5.0: an environment for modern phylogenetics and evolutionary analyses in R

Abstract Summary After more than fifteen years of existence, the R package ape has continuously grown its contents, and has been used by a growing community of users. The releas...

Exploring the Limits of Transfer Learning with a Unified Text-to-Text\n Transformer

Transfer learning, where a model is first pre-trained on a data-rich task\nbefore being fine-tuned on a downstream task, has emerged as a powerful\ntechnique in natural language...

Double-slit photoelectron interference in strong-field ionization of the neon dimer

Wave-particle duality is an inherent peculiarity of the quantum world. The double-slit experiment has been frequently used for understanding different aspects of this fundamenta...

Economic Growth and Income Inequality

The process of industrialization engenders increasing income inequality as the labor force shifts from low-income agriculture to the high income sectors. On more advanced levels...

Fundamentals of heat and mass transfer

Familiarization of students with the physical fundamentals of heat and mass transfer processes and modern practical problems solved within the framework of this theory, the form...

Dexamethasone in Hospitalized Patients with Covid-19.

BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is associated with diffuse lung damage. Glucocorticoids may modulate inflammation-mediated lung injury and thereby reduce progres...

Inference of Population Structure Using Multilocus Genotype Data: Linked Loci and Correlated Allele Frequencies

Abstract We describe extensions to the method of Pritchard et al. for inferring population structure from multilocus genotype data. Most importantly, we develop methods that all...
