As the U.S. starves its public media, Denmark wants to figure out a better way to subsidize private news publishers
"A foundation can pick winners on the basis of its own values and priorities and support them from private sources. But if the state does the same with public funds, we risk the appearance (or even worse, the reality) of politicians picking winners on the basis of their own ad hoc, pa…

Bom artigo, este. É substack, mas vale muito a pena.

Network-Based Detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder Using Sustainable and Non-invasive Salivary Biomarkers
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) lacks reliable biological markers, delaying early diagnosis. Using 159 salivary samples analyzed by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, we developed GANet, a genetic algorithm-based network optimization framework leveraging PageRank and Degree for importance-based feature characterization. GANet systematically optimizes network structure to extract meaningful patterns from high-dimensional spectral data. It achieved superior performance compared to linear discriminant analysis…

The Importance of Standardizing Spectra in the Era of Large Spectroscopic Surveys: A Case Study of M Dwarfs in SDSS-V
SDSS-V will obtain 100,000s of medium-resolution, optical spectra of M dwarfs with the BOSS instrument. M dwarfs have complex atmospheres, and their spectra contain many wide and dense, overlapping molecular features, so determining accurate stellar parameters by fitting models has been difficult. To circumvent this, other surveys have employed machine learning methods to transfer measurements of stellar parameters from high-resolution spectra to their medium-resolution counterparts. These meth…
