description: Machine Learning (ML) has demonstrated its great potential on medical data analysis. Large datasets collected from diverse sources and settings are essential for ML models in healthcare to achieve better accuracy and generalizability. Sharing data across different healthcare institutions is challenging because of complex and varying privacy and regulatory requirements. Hence, it is hard but crucial to allow multiple parties to collaboratively train an ML model leveraging the private datasets available at each party without the need for direct sharing of those datasets or compromising the privacy of the datasets through collaboration. In this paper, we address this challenge by proposing Decentralized, Collaborative, and Privacy-preserving ML for Multi-Hospital Data (DeCaPH). It offers the following key benefits: (1) it allows different parties to collaboratively train an ML model without transferring their private datasets; (2) it safeguards patient privacy by limiting the potential privacy leakage arising from any contents shared across the parties during the training process; and (3) it facilitates the ML model training without relying on a centralized server. We demonstrate the generalizability and power of DeCaPH on three distinct tasks using real-world distributed medical datasets: patient mortality prediction using electronic health records, cell-type classification using single-cell human genomes, and pathology identification using chest radiology images. We demonstrate that the ML models trained with DeCaPH framework have an improved utility-privacy trade-off, showing it enables the models to have good performance while preserving the privacy of the training data points. In addition, the ML models trained with DeCaPH framework in general outperform those trained solely with the private datasets from individual parties, showing that DeCaPH enhances the model generalizability.

description: Black hole dynamics suggests that dark matter would re-distribute near a supermassive black hole to form a density spike. However, no direct evidence of dark matter density spike around a supermassive black hole has been identified. In this letter, we present the first robust evidence showing a dark matter density spike around a supermassive black hole. We revisit the data of the well-known supermassive black hole binary OJ 287 and show that the inclusion of the dynamical friction due to a dark matter density spike around the supermassive black hole can satisfactorily account for the observed orbital decay rate. The derived spike index $γ_{\rm sp}=2.351^{+0.032}_{-0.045}$ gives an excellent agreement with the value $γ_{\rm sp}=2.333$ predicted by the benchmark model assuming an adiabatically growing supermassive black hole. This provides a strong verification of the canonical theory suggested two decades ago modeling the gravitational interaction between collisionless dark matter and supermassive black holes.

description: Motivated by the recently-established connection between Jarzynski's equality and the theoretical framework of Stochastic Normalizing Flows, we investigate a protocol relying on out-of-equilibrium lattice Monte Carlo simulations to mitigate the infamous computational problem of topological freezing. We test our proposal on $2d$ $\mathrm{CP}^{N-1}$ models and compare our results with those obtained adopting the Parallel Tempering on Boundary Conditions proposed by M. Hasenbusch, obtaining comparable performances. Our work thus sets the stage for future applications combining our Monte Carlo setup with machine learning techniques.

description: Pulsars are highly magnetized rotating neutron stars, emitting in a broad electromagnetic energy range. Reproducing the observed pulsars population refines our understanding of their formation and evolution scenarios as well as their radiation processes and geometry. In this paper, we improve our previous population synthesis by focusing on both the radio and $γ$-ray pulsar populations, investigating the impact of the Galactic gravitational potential and of the radio emission death line. In order to elucidate the necessity of a death line, refined initial distributions of spin period and spacial position at birth were implemented, elevating the sophistication of our simulations to the most recent state-of-the-art. The motion of each individual pulsar is tracked in the Galactic potential by a fourth order symplectic integration scheme. Our pulsar population synthesis takes into account the secular evolution of the force-free magnetosphere and magnetic field decay simultaneously and self-consistently. Each pulsar is evolved from its birth up to the present time. The radio and $γ$-ray emission locations are modelled respectively by the polar cap geometry and the striped wind model. By simulating ten million pulsars we found that including a death line better reproduces the observational trend. However, when simulating one million pulsars, we obtain an even more realistic $P-\dot{P}$ diagram, whether or not a death line is included. This suggests that the ages of the detected pulsars might be overestimated, therefore questioning the real need for a death line in pulsar population studies. Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests confirm the statistical similarity between the observed and simulated $P-\dot{P}$ diagram. Additionally, simulations with increased $γ$-ray telescope sensitivities hint to a significant contribution of $γ$-ray pulsars to the GeV excess in the Galactic centre.

Who Needs Decoders? Efficient Estimation of Sequence-Level Attributes with Proxies

description: Sequence-to-sequence models often require an expensive autoregressive decoding process. However, for some downstream tasks such as out-of-distribution (OOD) detection and resource allocation, the actual decoding output is not needed, just a scalar attribute of this sequence. In such scenarios, where knowing the quality of a system's output to predict poor performance prevails over knowing the output itself, is it possible to bypass the autoregressive decoding? We propose Non-Autoregressive Proxy (NAP) models that can efficiently predict scalar-valued sequence-level attributes. Importantly, NAPs predict these metrics directly from the encodings, avoiding the expensive decoding stage. We consider two sequence tasks: Machine Translation (MT) and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). In OOD for MT, NAPs outperform ensembles while being significantly faster. NAPs are also proven capable of predicting metrics such as BERTScore (MT) or word error rate (ASR). For downstream tasks, such as data filtering and resource optimization, NAPs generate performance predictions that outperform predictive uncertainty while being highly inference efficient.

description: Sendo a proteína animal, especificamente a carne bovina, um produto com grande consumo no mercado global, e principalmente no mercado interno, nota-se um aumento crescente no valor do quilo da carne praticado pelo comércio varejista. Frente a esta situação, o consumidor está sendo forçado à buscar alternativas e fazer substituições devido o crescente aumento de preço. Diante desta realidade, o referido trabalho objetivou analisar na base CEPEA-ESALQ-USP, o histórico diário do preço da arroba do boi, durante dois períodos distintos, sendo o primeiro período compreendido entre 02/03/2020 à 30/12/2020 e o segundo período compreendido entre 04/01/2021 à 30/09/2021. Quanto a metodologia utilizada para desenvolvimento do artigo, utilizou-se a pesquisa aplicada, quanto ao fins, foi utilizada a pesquisa exploratória alicerçada por uma pesquisa bibliográfica (artigos de periódicos científicos) e visando uma maior exatidão no resultados obtidos, utilizou-se a Estatística descritiva através do uso do Software Microsoft Excel 2019. Desta forma, foi possível identificar que, no primeiro período, especificamente no mês de março de 2020, início da pandemia, a arroba bovina estava cotada em R$ 201,04 e em dezembro de 2020, a arroba bovina fechou o ano em R$ 266,58, ou seja, um aumento de 32,6% e com uma média do período em R$ 233,02. No segundo período, especificamente no mês de janeiro de 2021, a arroba fechou em R$ 289,46 e em setembro de 2021, fechou em R$ 303,27, ou seja um aumento de 4,55%. Se comparado com o valor da arroba de março de 2020, ou seja, R$ 201,04, aumento médio de 50%. Após uma efetiva análise de mercado, de identificou-se que o aumento do preço da carne se deve a grade demanda de exportação para diversos países, principalmente a China. De acordo com a ABRAFRIG, as exportações brasileiras de carne bovina (in natura e processada) atingiram o recorde de 2,016 milhões de toneladas em 2020. Em outubro de 2021, a arroba está em média R$ 271,25, ou seja, uma redução média de 12% de redução. Um dos principais fatores que determinam esta redução é a forte estiagem que assola principalmente, a região sudeste do Brasil. Após o desenvolvimento do artigo, conclui-se que o valor da arroba do boi teve um aumento gradativo de março de 2020 até setembro de 2021, devido a alta demanda de exportação e também o consumo do mercado externo, porém, a partir de outubro de 2021, inicia-se uma queda gradativa, face a grande quantidade de animais que estão sendo ofertados por produtores que não possuem condições de pastagem para alimentar seus rebanhos. Porém, nota-se que o preço não foi repassado ao segmento varejista, de modo que, o valor da carne ainda continua alto e o consumidor final cada vez mais reduzindo suas compras.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) tend to be unreliable in the factuality of their answers. To address this problem, NLP researchers have proposed a range of techniques to estimate LLM's confidence over facts. However, due to the lack of a systematic comparison, it is not clear how the different methods compare to one another. To fill this gap, we present a survey and empirical comparison of estimators of factual confidence. We define an experimental framework allowing for fair comparison, covering both fact-verification and question answering. Our experiments across a series of LLMs indicate that trained hidden-state probes provide the most reliable confidence estimates, albeit at the expense of requiring access to weights and training data. We also conduct a deeper assessment of factual confidence by measuring the consistency of model behavior under meaning-preserving variations in the input. We find that the confidence of LLMs is often unstable across semantically equivalent inputs, suggesting that there is much room for improvement of the stability of models' parametric knowledge.

description:
Community-based water advocacy groups in Atlanta have adopted E. coli testing methods and implemented water quality monitoring networks as a form of community science. This thesis employs a mixed methods approach that couples qualitative and quantitative data to explain the scope and effectiveness of community science in Atlantas watersheds. The thesis provides an empirical study of the community-based water advocacy groups based in metro Atlanta that work to better urban water quality. Then, two water quality data sets produced by the Neighborhood Water Watch and South River Watershed Alliance were analyzed to show that there are statistical differences between the E. coli levels between the Proctor Creek, South River, and Peachtree Creek Watersheds. Socio-economic demographics were mapped to show that Black residents of Atlanta primarily reside in the Proctor Creek and South River watershed.
Space-time Pattern of Underground Radon Emission and the Influence of Environmental Factors Using Sensor Networks

description:
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. There is a lack of information regarding underground radon concentrations at a local scale. This research assessed the underground radon emissions from 30 sensors from May 2022 to January 2023. This thesis utilized the emerging hotspot technique to identify the hotspots and coldspots of underground radon concentrations. It then evaluated their correlations with temperature, humidity, air pressure, CO2, and volatile organic compound (VOC). The results indicated that the western side of the testbed and the warmer season had more hotspots than the rest of the area and colder season. Temperature had the strongest association with the radon pattern, followed by humidity and air pressure. This research suggests that radon emissions could change greatly even within a small area due to the change of the environment. Intensive monitoring is necessary to understand radon risks and reduce exposure.

description: In this study, we undertook a comprehensive literature review to investigate the efficacy of telemedicine compared to usual care in outpatients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF). Our inclusion criteria focused specifically on trials that provided ejection fraction data, ensuring a targeted analysis. The study covered a substantial timeframe from January 1999 to May 2023 and utilized three reputable bibliographic databases - PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane Library. To assess the quality of the included studies, we employed the Cochrane risk-of-bias (RoB) and the risk of bias in non-randomized studies – of interventions (ROBINS-I) for non-randomized or observational studies. The selected endpoints of interest were all-cause mortality, cardiovascular-related mortality, all-cause hospitalization, and HF-related hospitalization. For quantitative analysis, we calculated a pooled odds ratio (OR) for each outcome.From an initial pool of 4,947 articles, our study narrowed down its analysis to 27 relevant studies. The results unveiled a significant positive impact of telemedicine on HFrEF patients. Telemedicine was associated with a notable reduction in all-cause mortality, with an odds ratio of 0.65 (95% CI 0.54 – 0.78; p<0.00001), cardiovascular-related mortality (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.58 – 0.80, p < 0.00001), and HF-related hospitalization based on both the number of events (OR 0.77, 95% CI 0.64 – 0.94, p = 0.009) and the number of patients (OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.69 – 0.87, p < 0.0001). In conclusion, the findings from our study highlight the substantial benefits of telemedicine in reducing mortality and hospitalization rates among HFrEF patients. However, we underscore the need for future research to focus on standardizing effective telemedicine practices, addressing the existing variability in methods and clinical situations of the patients. This study contributes valuable insights that could potentially inform and shape the future of telemedicine interventions for heart failure patients.
