DC algorithm for estimation of sparse Gaussian graphical models

by Tomokaze Shiratori, Yuichi Takano

Sparse estimation of a Gaussian graphical model (GGM) is an important technique for making relationships between observed variables more interpretable. Various methods have been proposed for sparse GGM estimation, including the graphical lasso that uses the ℓ1 norm regularization term, and other methods that use nonconvex regularization terms. Most of these methods approximate the ℓ0 (pseudo) norm by more tractable functions; however, to estimate more accurate solutions... Читать дальше...

Detecting anomalies in graph networks on digital markets

by Agata Skorupka

The study examines different graph-based methods of detecting anomalous activities on digital markets, proposing the most efficient way to increase market actors’ protection and reduce information asymmetry. Anomalies are defined below as both bots and fraudulent users (who can be both bots and real people). Methods are compared against each other, and state-of-the-art results from the literature and a new algorithm is proposed. The goal is to find an efficient method suitable for threat detection...

Optimizing hypertension prediction using ensemble learning approaches

by Isteaq Kabir Sifat, Md. Kaderi Kibria

Hypertension (HTN) prediction is critical for effective preventive healthcare strategies. This study investigates how well ensemble learning techniques work to increase the accuracy of HTN prediction models. Utilizing a dataset of 612 participants from Ethiopia, which includes 27 features potentially associated with HTN risk, we aimed to enhance predictive performance over traditional single-model methods. A multi-faceted feature selection approach was employed... Читать дальше...

Biochemical analysis to study wild-type and polyglutamine-expanded ATXN3 species

by Grégoire Quinet, María Cristina Paz-Cabrera, Raimundo Freire

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a cureless neurodegenerative disease recognized as the most prevalent form of dominantly inherited ataxia worldwide. The main hallmark of SCA3 is the expansion of a polyglutamine tract located in the C-terminal of Ataxin-3 (or ATXN3) protein, that triggers the mis-localization and toxic aggregation of ATXN3 in neuronal cells. The propensity of wild type and polyglutamine-expanded ATXN3... Читать дальше...

Temporal response patterns of Layer 4 rat barrel cortex neurons across various naturalistic whisker motions

by Dinh K. Tang, Mark B. Flegg, Ramesh Rajan

A central topic in neuroscience is the neural coding problem which aims to decipher how the brain signals sensory information through neural activity. Despite significant advancements in this area, the characterisation of information encoding through the precise timing of spikes in the somatosensory cortex is limited. Here, we utilised a comprehensive dataset from previous studies to identify and characterise temporal response patterns of Layer... Читать дальше...

Breaking down linguistic barriers: The radical impact of translanguaging on pre-service EFL teachers’ perspectives in Turkey

by Ömer Gökhan Ulum

This study examines the perceptions and practices of translanguaging among pre-service English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in Turkey, employing a mixed-method research design with a phenomenological framework. The sample consists of 401 pre-service EFL teachers from the Education Faculty’s English Language Teaching (ELT) Department at a state university during the 2024–2025 academic year. Data collection included a rigorously developed 28-item Likert-scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Читать дальше...
