Pure Movement #NowPlaying
Stan Stewart - @muz4now

In 2020, there were some people who marveled at how China built hospitals quickly to handle the start of the pandemic.
Now, some people are marveling over how the US has quickly built a camp in the Everglades to concentrate people.
There are many issues with how China runs itself as a country, and denies human rights to people.
But so too, there are issues with how the US runs itself as a country, and denies human rights to people 😳
The heart breaks.

Deep Active Learning for Lung Disease Severity Classification from Chest X-rays: Learning with Less Data in the Presence of Class Imbalance
To reduce the amount of required labeled data for lung disease severity classification from chest X-rays (CXRs) under class imbalance, this study applied deep active learning with a Bayesian Neural Network (BNN) approximation and weighted loss function. This retrospective study collected 2,319 CXRs from 963 patients (mean age, 59.2 $\pm$ 16.6 years; 481 female) at Emory Healthcare affiliated hospitals between January and November 2020. All patients had clinically confirmed COVID-19. Each CXR wa…

I just found this UK report on #covid epidemiology from 2020 to Dec 2024; the graph I most noticed is below - they looked at blood donors for spike (S) and Nucleo (N) protein antibodies over time; The spike proteins are in both infection and vaccine, while N is infection only - so you can see when people got vaccinated and how now pretty much everyone (95.5% as end of January) has been infected as…

lifeXplore at the Lifelog Search Challenge 2020
Since its first iteration in 2018, the Lifelog Search Challenge (LSC) - an interactive competition for retrieving lifelogging moments - is co-located at the annual ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR) and has drawn international attention. With the goal of making an ever growing public lifelogging dataset searchable, several teams develop systems for quickly solving time-limited queries during the challenge. Having participated in both previous LSC iterations, i.e. LSC201…

Prediction of sulphate hazes in the lower Venus atmosphere
We study the amount, size distribution and material composition of (sub-)mic aerosol particles in the lower Venus atmosphere < 50 km. Our GGchem phase-equilibrium model predicts metal-chloride and metal-fluoride molecules to be present in the gas over the Venus surface in trace concentrations < 2.E-12, in particular FeCl2, NaCl, KCl and SiF4. Using an improved version of the DiffuDrift model developed by Woitke et al.2020, we find that these molecules deposit to form solid potassium sulphate K2…

The Additive Bachelier model with an application to the oil option market in the Covid period
In April 2020, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange temporarily switched the pricing formula for West Texas Intermediate oil market options from the Black model to the Bachelier model. In this context, we introduce an Additive Bachelier model that provides a simple closed-form solution and a good description of the Implied volatility surface. This new Additive model exhibits several notable mathematical and financial properties. It ensures the no-arbitrage condition, a critical requirement in highly…
