The large-scale circulation of planetary atmospheres such as that of the Earth is traditionally thought of in a dynamical framework. Here we apply the statistical mechanics theory of turbulent flows to a simplified model of the global atmosphere, the quasigeostrophic model, leading to nontrivial equilibria. Depending on a few global parameters, the structure of the flow may be either a solid-body rotation (zonal flow) or a dipole. A second-order phase transition occurs between these two phases, with associated spontaneous symmetry breaking in the dipole phase. This model allows us to go beyond the general theory of marginal ensemble equivalence through the notion of Goldstone modes.

Tabular data, spreadsheets organized in rows and columns, are ubiquitous across scientific fields, from biomedicine to particle physics to economics and climate science. The fundamental prediction task of filling in missing values of a label column based on the rest of the columns is essential for various applications as diverse as biomedical risk models, drug discovery and materials science. Although deep learning has revolutionized learning from raw data and led to numerous high-profile success stories, gradient-boosted decision trees have dominated tabular data for the past 20 years.

Pathology provides the definitive diagnosis, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are poised to improve accuracy, inter-rater agreement, and turn-around time (TAT) of pathologists, leading to improved quality of care. A high value clinical application is the grading of Lymph Node Metastasis (LNM) which is used for breast cancer staging and guides treatment decisions. A challenge of implementing AI tools widely for LNM classification is domain shift, where Out-of-Distribution (OOD) data has a different distribution than the In-Distribution (ID) data used to train the model, resulting in a drop in performance in OOD data.

Quantities calculated from molecular simulations are often subject to an initial bias due to unrepresentative starting configurations. Initial data are usually discarded to reduce bias. Chodera's method for automated truncation point selection [J.

Article Synopsis
  • - Endometriosis, affecting about 10% of individuals assigned female at birth, is difficult to diagnose and often requires surgical or MRI imaging methods, with MRI being quicker but less precise.
  • - A significant diagnostic indicator is the obliteration of the Pouch of Douglas, yet even experienced clinicians find it hard to accurately classify this from MRI images, which makes training reliable AI models a challenge.
  • - The paper introduces the HAICOMM methodology, which combines multi-rater and multi-modal learning with human-AI collaboration, leading to more accurate diagnoses of endometriosis compared to traditional methods and improving classification accuracy.
