Parameterized Algorithms for Computing Pareto Sets
Dynamic programming over tree decompositions is a common technique in parameterized algorithms. In this paper, we study whether this technique can also be applied to compute Pareto sets of multiobjective optimization problems. We first derive an algorithm to compute the Pareto set for the multicriteria s-t cut problem and show how this result can be applied to a polygon aggregation problem arising in cartography that has recently been introduced by Rottmann et al. (GIScience 2021). We also show…

As people flee climate change on the coasts, this Midwest city is trying to become a safe haven
After visiting Tracy, a woman in California who is ready to flee her dream house to escape wildfires and other effects of climate catastrophe, John Sutter traveled halfway across the country, to Duluth, Minnesota to try to answer her question: Where can she go? Is anywhere safe? It turns out, Tracy isn’t alone in asking the question.

A direct approach to tree-guided feature aggregation for high-dimensional regression
In high-dimensional linear models, sparsity is often exploited to reduce variability and achieve parsimony. Equi-sparsity, where one assumes that predictors can be aggregated into groups sharing the same effects, is an alternative parsimonious structure that can be more suitable in certain applications. Previous work has clearly demonstrated the benefits of exploiting equi-sparsity in the presence of ``rare features'' (Yan and Bien 2021). In this work, we propose a new tree-guided regularizatio…

Counting distinct (non-)crossing substrings
Let $w$ be a string of length $n$. The problem of counting factors crossing a position - Problem 64 from the textbook ``125 Problems in Text Algorithms'' [Crochemore, Leqroc, and Rytter, 2021], asks to count the number $\mathcal{C}(w,k)$ (resp. $\mathcal{N}(w,k)$) of distinct substrings in $w$ that have occurrences containing (resp. not containing) a position $k$ in $w$. The solutions provided in their textbook compute $\mathcal{C}(w,k)$ and $\mathcal{N}(w,k)$ in $O(n)$ time for a single positi…

Spectral extremal problems for non-bipartite graphs without odd cycles
A well-known result of Mantel asserts that every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph $G$ has at most $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor$ edges. Moreover, Erdős proved that if $G$ is further non-bipartite, then $e(G)\le \lfloor {(n-1)^2}/{4}\rfloor +1$. Recently, Lin, Ning and Wu [Combin. Probab. Comput. 30 (2021)] established a spectral version by showing that if $G$ is a triangle-free non-bipartite graph on $n$ vertices, then $λ(G)\le λ(S_1(T_{n-1,2}))$, with equality if and only if $G=S_1(T_{n-1,2})$, wher…

Quasi-periodic oscillations and reflection feature evolution in 4U 1630-47 observed with Insight-HXMT
The Galactic black hole (BH) X-ray binary 4U 1630-47 went into a new outburst in 2021 after $\sim$ 600 days from its 2020 outburst. We perform a detailed analysis of quasi-periodic oscillations and spectral evolutions during its 2021 outburst based on \textit{Insight}-HXMT observations. The main science aims to study the reflection features evolution of this accreting black hole using the observations of detecting quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) and quasi-regular modulations (QRMs). The QPOs…

Tutorial: $φ$-Transductions in OpenFst via the Gallic Semiring
OpenFst, a popular finite-state transducer library, supports $φ$-transitions but, due to an implementation constraint, they cannot be used with transducers in a straightforward way. In this short tutorial, we describe how one can use other functionality provided by OpenFst (namely, the Gallic semiring) to correctly implement $φ$-transductions and demonstrate it by implementing the MaxMatch (WordPiece) tokenization algorithm (Devlin et al., 2019; Song et al., 2021).

Slomads Rising: Stay Length Shifts in Digital Nomad Travel, United States 2019-2024
Using every U.S. Airbnb reservation created from 1 January 2019 through 31 December 2024, weighted by nights booked, we document a lasting shift toward longer stays after the COVID 19 shock. Mean nights per booking rose from 3.7 before the pandemic to a stable 4.1 to 4.4 after 2021; the median increased from two to three nights and the weighted standard deviation nearly doubled to seven nights, indicating a heavier tail. Negative binomial regression shows that, relative to the restriction perio…

Does $K$-fold CV based penalty perform variable selection or does it lead to $n^{1/2}$-consistency in Lasso?
Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator or Lasso, introduced by Tibshirani (1996), is one of the widely used regularization methods in regression. It is observed that the properties of Lasso vary wildly depending on the choice of the penalty parameter. The recent results of Lahiri (2021) suggest that, depending on the nature of the penalty parameter, Lasso can either be variable selection consistent or be $n^{1/2}-$consistent. However, practitioners generally implement Lasso by choosing…

Mexico 2021: Psychological Intimate Partner Violence Against Women and the Role of Childhood Violence Exposure -- A Machine Learning Approach
In 2021, psychological violence was the most prevalent form of intimate partner violence (IPV) suffered by women in Mexico. The consequences of psychological IPV can include low self-esteem, depression, and even potential suicide. It is, therefore, crucial to identify the most relevant risk and protective factors of psychological IPV against women in Mexico. To this end, we adopt an ecological approach and analyze the role of a wide range of factors across four interrelated levels: Individual, …

On the Image Profiles of Transients in the Palomar Sky Survey
The VASCO project has discovered groups of short-lived transients on historical photographic plates that lack conventional explanation. Hambly & Blair (2024) examined nine such transients reported by Villarroel (2021) and found that they exhibit narrower, rounder profiles, attributing this to emulsion flaws. However, well-established optical principles and atmospheric physics imply that unresolved flashes lasting less than a second naturally appear sharper and more circular than stellar images,…
