The development of phylogenetic trees based on RNA or DNA sequences generally requires a precise and limited choice of important RNAs, e.g., messenger RNAs of essential proteins or ribosomal RNAs (like 16S), but rarely complete genomes, making it possible to explain evolution and speciation. In this article, we propose revisiting a classic phylogeny of archaea from only the information on the succession of nucleotides of their entire genome. For this purpose, we use a new tool, the unsupervised classifier Maxwell, whose principle lies in the Burrows-Wheeler compression transform, and we show its efficiency in clustering whole archaeal genomes.

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Object Detection (UDA-OD) aims to adapt a model trained on a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain, addressing challenges posed by domain shifts. However, existing methods often face significant challenges, particularly in detecting small objects and over-relying on classification confidence for pseudo-label selection, which often leads to inaccurate bounding box localization. To address these issues, we propose a novel UDA-OD framework that leverages scale consistency (SC) and Temporal Ensemble Pseudo-Label Selection (TEPLS) to enhance cross-domain robustness and detection performance.

Predictive value of an unsupervised web-based assessment of the neuropsychological function.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Division of Experimental Psychology and Neuropsychology, Department of Education and Psychology, Freie Universität Berlin, Habelschwerdter Allee 45, 14195, Berlin, Germany.

Neuropsychological assessment has to consider the subjective and objective functional deficits of help-seeking individuals in several cognitive domains. Due to time constraints in clinical practice, several web-based approaches have been developed. The current study examined whether functional deficits in the mnestic and attentive domain can be predicted based on an unsupervised self-administered online assessment neuropsychological online screening (NOS): This screening includes self-reports and psychometric memory tests (face-name association, visual short-term memory).

The advancements in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) technology have significantly transformed genomics research, enabling the handling of thousands of cells in each experiment. As of now, 32,068 research studies have been cataloged in the Pubmed database. The primary aim of scRNAseq investigations is to identify cell types, understand the antitumor immune response, and identify new and uncommon cell types.

In credit risk assessment, unsupervised classification techniques can be introduced to reduce human resource expenses and expedite decision-making. Despite the efficacy of unsupervised learning methods in handling unlabeled datasets, their performance remains limited owing to challenges such as imbalanced data, local optima, and parameter adjustment complexities. Thus, this paper introduces a novel hybrid unsupervised classification method, named the two-stage hybrid system with spectral clustering and semi-supervised support vector machine (TSC-SVM), which effectively addresses the unsupervised imbalance problem in credit risk assessment by targeting global optimal solutions.

Gradual Domain Adaptation via Normalizing Flows.

Neural Comput

January 2025

Department of Advanced Data Science, Institute of Statistical Mathematics, Tachikawa, Tokyo 190-8562, Japan

Standard domain adaptation methods do not work well when a large gap exists between the source and target domains. Gradual domain adaptation is one of the approaches used to address the problem. It involves leveraging the intermediate domain, which gradually shifts from the source domain to the target domain.
