Criticality and information flow in an adaptive system and Semi-algebraic geometry of common lines

David Dynerman Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a technique for discovering the 3D structures of small molecules. To perform this 3D reconstruction a large number of 2D images taken from unknown microscope positions must be correctly positioned back in 3D space. Although these microscope positions are unknown, the common lines of …

Using sparse coding to find independent components of conflict | Convex Quadratic Programming with Variable Bounds

***Bryan: Both cognitive constraints and limited amounts of data restrict the complexity of inferential models. Sparse coding is an elegant way to address these restrictions, extracting correlated subparts from data in a way that can be efficient, predictive, and adaptive. We present a sparse coding method for use on binary …
