On Trustworthy Rule-Based Models and Explanations
A task of interest in machine learning (ML) is that of ascribing explanations to the predictions made by ML models. Furthermore, in domains deemed high risk, the rigor of explanations is paramount. Indeed, incorrect explanations can and will mislead human decision makers. As a result, and even if interpretability is acknowledged as an elusive concept, so-called interpretable models are employed ubiquitously in high-risk uses of ML and data mining (DM). This is the case for rule-based ML models,…

Cacao agroforestry in Belize hits the sweet spot for people and nature
The Maya Golden Landscape in southern Belize is a patchwork of protected areas, agricultural lands and small communities, part of the greater Maya Forest, the second-largest tropical forest in the Americas, after the Amazon. It’s a haven for predators like jaguars (Panthera onca) and pumas (Puma concolor), and threatened species like Baird’s tapirs (Tapirus bairdii) […]

Adaptive Attention Residual U-Net for curvilinear structure segmentation in fluorescence microscopy and biomedical images
Segmenting curvilinear structures in fluorescence microscopy remains a challenging task, particularly under noisy conditions and in dense filament networks commonly seen in vivo. To address this, we created two original datasets consisting of hundreds of synthetic images of fluorescently labelled microtubules within cells. These datasets are precisely annotated and closely mimic real microscopy images, including realistic noise. The second dataset presents an additional challenge, by simulating…

Es ist still geworden um das Geschehen in der Manege. Geschuldet ist dies vermutlich aufgrund der Übermüdung aller Akrobat:innen. Viele haben ihr Repertoire an Kunststücken auch schon ausgeschöpft und die Manege verlassen. Die Älteren sind wie gewohnt widerstandsfähiger und schöpfen aus ihrer Erfahrung. Hier wird es wohl noch etwas dauern. #dem25 ^mr

The Scintillator Surface Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
Data collected so far by the Pierre Auger Observatory have enabled major advances in ultra-high energy cosmic ray physics and demonstrated that improved determination of masses of primary cosmic-ray particles, preferably on an event-by-event basis, is necessary for understanding their origin and nature. Improvement in primary mass measurements was the main motivation for the upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory, called AugerPrime. As part of this upgrade, scintillator detectors are added to …
