    Knowledge-integrated machine learning for materials: lessons from gameplaying and robotics

    As materials researchers increasingly embrace machine-learning (ML) methods, it is natural to wonder what lessons can be learned from other fields undergoing similar developments. In this Review, we comparativ...

    Atypical behaviour and connectivity in SHANK3-mutant macaques

    Mutation or disruption of the SH3 and ankyrin repeat domains 3 (SHANK3) gene represents a highly penetrant, monogenic risk factor for autism spectrum disorder, and is a cause of Phelan–McDermid syndrome. Recent a...

    Coarse-to-Fine Minimization of Some Common Nonconvexities

    The continuation method is a popular heuristic in computer vision for nonconvex optimization. The idea is to start from a simplified problem and gradually deform it to the actual problem while tracking the sol...

    Bayesian Nonparametric Intrinsic Image Decomposition

    We present a generative, probabilistic model that decomposes an image into reflectance and shading components. The proposed approach uses a Dirichlet process Gaussian mixture model where the mean parameters ev...

    MCMC Curve Sampling for Image Segmentation

    We present an algorithm to generate samples from probability distributions on the space of curves. We view a traditional curve evolution energy functional as a negative log probability distribution and sample ...

    Combining Simple Models to Approximate Complex Dynamics

    Stochastic tracking of structured models in monolithic state spaces often requires modeling complex distributions that are difficult to represent with either parametric or sample-based approaches. We show that...

    Exact MAP Activity Detection in fMRI Using a GLM with an Ising Spatial Prior

    Previous work [5] has shown how Ising spatial priors [1] can be incorported into fMRI analysis in a principled manner by using Mutual Information as a statistic for protocol-related activity. The activation image...
