Training thermodynamic computers by gradient descent
We show how to adjust the parameters of a thermodynamic computer by gradient descent in order to perform a desired computation at a specified observation time. Within a digital simulation of a thermodynamic computer, training proceeds by maximizing the probability with which the computer would generate an idealized dynamical trajectory. The idealized trajectory is designed to reproduce the activations of a neural network trained to perform the desired computation. This teacher-student scheme re…

Measuring and Predicting Where and When Pathologists Focus their Visual Attention while Grading Whole Slide Images of Cancer
The ability to predict the attention of expert pathologists could lead to decision support systems for better pathology training. We developed methods to predict the spatio-temporal (where and when) movements of pathologists' attention as they grade whole slide images (WSIs) of prostate cancer. We characterize a pathologist's attention trajectory by their x, y, and m (magnification) movements of a viewport as they navigate WSIs using a digital microscope. This information was obtained from 43 p…

Fox News und der Angriff auf Iran: Wie Murdochs Machtmaschine Trump manipulierte
Mit rechter Propaganda und viel Desinformation ist Fox News zum erfolgreichsten Nachrichtensender der USA geworden. Nun drängten Fox-Leute darauf, dass die USA in den Krieg gegen Iran ziehen – und Trump hörte zu.
