The Onset of Parisi's Complexity in a Mismatched Inference Problem.

We show that a statistical mechanics model where both the Sherringhton-Kirkpatrick and Hopfield Hamiltonians appear, which is equivalent to a high-dimensional mismatched inference problem, is described by a replica symmetry-breaking Parisi solution.

Autism, Therapy and COVID-19.

While numerous treatments for ASD are available, intervention based on the principles and procedures of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has garnered substantial scientific support. In this study we evaluated the effects of the lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, followed by quarantine provisions and during the three months after the resumption of activities. The study was conducted on a group of children taking part on a ABA-based intervention funded by the Local Health Authority (ASL) of the province of Caserta.
