New on the arxiv: “Network reconstruction via the minimum description length principle"
#network

Network reconstruction via the minimum description length principle
A fundamental problem associated with the task of network reconstruction from dynamical or behavioral data consists in determining the most appropriate model complexity in a manner that prevents overfitting, and produces an inferred network with a statistically justifiable number of edges. The status quo in this context is based on $L_{1}$ regularization combined with cross-validation. As we demonstrate, besides its high computational cost, this commonplace approach unnecessarily ties the promo…

”Blood Works for Graphene Production“
arxiv.org/abs/2404.18045

Blood Works for Graphene Production
Blood, a ubiquitous and fundamental carbohydrate material composed of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, has been playing an important role in biology, life science, history, and religious study, while graphene has garnered significant attention due to its exceptional properties and extensive range of potential applications. Achieving environmentally friendly, cost-effective growth using hybrid precursors and obtaining high-quality graphene through a straightforward CVD …

The speech below, given by an Israeli on the acceptance of a prize for best documentary at this year's Berlinale for a film about the West Bank, accurately and succinctly describes the apartheid regime imposed by Israel.
He (an Israeli Jew) is being accused of Antisemitism by the entire media and political establishment in Germany.
The dissemination of specious mainstream narratives (bordering insanity in this case) is a fascinating phenomenon.
This should be the actual…

I really hate the brainless trope “all models are wrong, some are useful”.
Any model only approximates reality. A model is more useful to the extent it approximates better than an alternative.
A better saying would be: “all models are wrong, but some are less wrong.”

Julian Assange’s Day in Court
Julian Assange’s lawyers — in a final bid on Tuesday to stop his extradition — fought valiantly to poke holes in the case of the prosecution to obtain an appeal.

Remember a couple of years ago when every young academic was lecturing everyone else on “empathy”, like they had just discovered that word?
Many of them are now silent on Gaza.
They should look up more words in the dictionary: “hipocrisy”, “duplicity”, “insincerity”, etc.
