description: Legal literature on machine learning (ML) tends to focus on harms, and thus tends to reason about individual model outcomes and summary error rates. This focus has masked important aspects of ML that are rooted in its reliance on randomness -- namely, stochasticity and non-determinism. While some recent work has begun to reason about the relationship between stochasticity and arbitrariness in legal contexts, the role of non-determinism more broadly remains unexamined. In this paper, we clarify the overlap and differences between these two concepts, and show that the effects of non-determinism, and consequently its implications for the law, become clearer from the perspective of reasoning about ML outputs as distributions over possible outcomes. This distributional viewpoint accounts for randomness by emphasizing the possible outcomes of ML. Importantly, this type of reasoning is not exclusive with current legal reasoning; it complements (and in fact can strengthen) analyses concerning individual, concrete outcomes for specific automated decisions. By illuminating the important role of non-determinism, we demonstrate that ML code falls outside of the cyberlaw frame of treating ``code as law,'' as this frame assumes that code is deterministic. We conclude with a brief discussion of what work ML can do to constrain the potentially harm-inducing effects of non-determinism, and we indicate where the law must do work to bridge the gap between its current individual-outcome focus and the distributional approach that we recommend.

description: Extensive empirical studies show that the long distribution tail of travel time and the corresponding unexpected delay can have much more serious consequences than expected or moderate delay. However, the unexpected delay due to the distribution tail of travel time has received limited attention in recent studies of the valuation of travel time variability. As a complement to current valuation research, this paper proposes the concept of the value of travel time distribution tail, which quantifies the value that travelers place on reducing the unexpected delay for hedging against travel time variability. Methodologically, we define the summation of all unexpected delays as the unreliability area to quantify travel time distribution tail and show that it is a key element of two well-defined measures accounting for unreliable aspects of travel time. We then formally derive the value of distribution tail, show that it is distinct from the more established value of reliability (VOR), and combine it and the VOR in an overall value of travel time variability (VOV). We prove theoretically that the VOV exhibits diminishing marginal benefit in terms of the traveler's punctuality requirements under a validity condition. This implies that it may be economically inefficient for travelers to blindly pursue a higher probability of not being late. We then proceed to develop the concept of the travel time variability ratio, which gives the implicit cost of the punctuality requirement imposed on any given trip. Numerical examples reveal that the cost of travel time distribution tail can account for more than 10% of the trip cost, such that its omission could introduce non-trivial bias into route choice models and transportation appraisal more generally.

description: Space groups describing the symmetry of lattice structure allow the emergence of fermionic quasiparticles with various degeneracy in the band structure. Theoretical efforts have predicted many materials hosting fermions with the highest degeneracy, i.e., eightfold fermions, yet lacking experimental realization. Here, we explore the band degeneracies in TaCo$_2$Te$_2$ crystals. Through systematic experimental and theoretical analyses, we establish TaCo$_2$Te$_2$ as a nonsymmorphic crystal with negligible spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and long-range magnetic order. These critical properties guarantee the first realization of practical eightfold fermions and fourfold van Hove singularity, as directly observed by photoemission spectroscopy. TaCo$_2$Te$_2$ serves as a topological quantum critical platform, which can be tuned into various magnetic, topologically trivial, and nontrivial phases by adding strain, magnetic field, or SOC. The latter is demonstrated by our first-principles calculations, which show that enhancing SOC in TaCo$_2$Te$_2$ will promote the experimental observation of bulk hourglass fermions. Our results establish TaCo$_2$Te$_2$ as a unique platform to explore states of matter intertwining magnetism, correlation, symmetry, and band topology.

description: Salty water is the most abundant electrolyte aqueous mixture on Earth, however, very little is known about the NaCl-saturated solution interfacial free energy. Here, we provide the first direct estimation of this magnitude for several NaCl crystallographic planes by means of the Mold Integration technique, a highly efficient computational method to evaluate interfacial free energies with anisotropic crystal resolution. Making use of the JC-SPC/E model, one of the most benchmarked force fields for NaCl/water solutions, we measure the interfacial free energy of four different planes, (100), (110), (111), and (11-2) with the saturated solution at normal conditions. We find high anisotropy between the different crystal orientations with values ranging from 100 to 150 mJ/m2 and the average value of the distinct planes being 137(20) mJ/m2. This value for the coexistence interfacial free energy is in reasonable agreement with previous extrapolations from nucleation studies. Our work represents a milestone in the computational calculation of interfacial free energies between ionic crystals and aqueous solutions.

description: Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) closes all the security loopholes in the detection system and is a promising solution for secret key sharing. Polarization encoding is the most common QKD encoding scheme, as it is straightforward to prepare and measure. However, implementing polarization encoding in MDI QKD imposes extra challenges, as polarization alignment must be maintained over both mutually unbiased bases and be maintained for both paths (Alice-Charlie and Bob-Charlie). Polarization alignment is usually done by interrupting the QKD process (reducing overall key generation rates) or using additional classical laser sources multiplexed with quantum channels for polarization alignment. Since low key rates and cost are the two most pressing challenges preventing wide adoption of QKD systems, using additional resources or reducing key rates runs contrary to making QKD commercially viable. Therefore, we propose and implement a novel polarization compensation scheme in the MDI-QKD system that avoids the aforementioned drawbacks by recycling part of discarded detection events. Our scheme evaluates the polarization drift in real-time based on single measurements corresponding to decoy intensities. Our fully automated experimental demonstration maintains the average polarization drift below 0.13 rad over 40 km of spooled fibre (without an insulating jacket) for at least four hours. The average quantum bit error rate is 3.8$\%$, and we achieved an average key rate of $7.45\times 10^{-6}$ bits per pulse.

description: We consider the tasks of learning quantum states, measurements and channels generated by continuous-variable (CV) quantum circuits. This family of circuits is suited to describe optical quantum technologies and in particular it includes state-of-the-art photonic processors capable of showing quantum advantage. We define classes of functions that map classical variables, encoded into the CV circuit parameters, to outcome probabilities evaluated on those circuits. We then establish efficient learnability guarantees for such classes, by computing bounds on their pseudo-dimension or covering numbers, showing that CV quantum circuits can be learned with a sample complexity that scales polynomially with the circuit's size, i.e., the number of modes. Our results show that CV circuits can be trained efficiently using a number of training samples that, unlike their finite-dimensional counterpart, does not scale with the circuit depth.

description: Linear algebra expressions, which play a central role in countless scientific computations, are often computed via a sequence of calls to existing libraries of building blocks (such as those provided by BLAS and LAPACK). A sequence identifies a computing strategy, i.e., an algorithm, and normally for one linear algebra expression many alternative algorithms exist. Although mathematically equivalent, those algorithms might exhibit significant differences in terms of performance. Several high-level languages and tools for matrix computations such as Julia, Armadillo, Linnea, etc., make algorithmic choices by minimizing the number of Floating Point Operations (FLOPs). However, there can be several algorithms that share the same (or have nearly identical) number of FLOPs; in many cases, these algorithms exhibit execution times which are statistically equivalent and one could arbitrarily select one of them as the best algorithm. It is however not unlikely to find cases where the execution times are significantly different from one another (despite the FLOP count being almost the same). It is also possible that the algorithm that minimizes FLOPs is not the one that minimizes execution time. In this work, we develop a methodology to test the reliability of FLOPs as discriminant for linear algebra algorithms. Given a set of algorithms (for an instance of a linear algebra expression) as input, the methodology ranks them into performance classes; i.e., multiple algorithms are allowed to share the same rank. To this end, we measure the algorithms iteratively until the changes in the ranks converge to a value close to zero. FLOPs are a valid discriminant for an instance if all the algorithms with minimum FLOPs are assigned the best rank; otherwise, the instance is regarded as an anomaly, which can then be used in the investigation of the root cause of performance differences.

description: Anlass für diese Studie war die weltweite Zunahme von MRSA-Infektionen im Krankenhaus und der damit verbundenen Frage über das Vorkommen von MRSA in Alten- und Altenpflegeheimen. Von März 2000 bis März 2001 wurde von 21 Gesundheitsämtern in Nordrhein-Westfalen insgesamt von 1057 Altenheimbewohnern und 193 Pflegekräften auf freiwilliger Basis Untersuchungsmaterial gewonnen und mit dem ausgefüllten Fragebogen an das lögd NRW weitergeleitet. In dieser Querschittsstudie zeigten 32 Bewohner und eine Beschäftigte einen positiven MRSA-Befund. Dies entspricht einer MRSA-Prävalenz von 3,0% mit einem Konfidenzintervall (95% KI) von 2,1–4,2, wenn als Bezugsgröße die Teilnehmerzahl benutzt wird, wie dies bisher bei MRSA-Untersuchungen in Altenheimen in Deutschland üblich war. Wird aber der S.-aureus-Anteil von durchweg fast 50% als Bezugsgröße zugrunde gelegt – wie dies bei MRSA-Untersuchungen in Krankenhäusern geschieht –, steigt die MRSA-Prävalenz auf das Doppelte, nämlich auf 6,3% mit einem KI von 4,3–8,8. Das Tragen eines Katheters, insbesondere eines Harnwegskatheters, bedeutet ein fast 3-fach höheres Risiko, einen MRSA zu aquirieren (OR = 2,72, signifikant). Die MRSA-Prävalenz für Harnwegskatheter betrug 11,2% bezogen auf die S.-aureus-positiven Bewohner.
description: The reason for conducting this study in North Rhine-Westphalia was the world-wide increase in MRSA hospital infections leading to the question about the occurrence of MRSA in old people's homes and nursing homes. Between March 2000 and March 2001, 21 community health departments on a voluntary basis collected samples to be examined from a total of 1057 residents of old people's homes and 193 nursing staff members and, together with a completed questionnaire, sent them to the Institute of Public Health (lögd) NRW. In this cross-sectional study 32 residents and one staff member proved positive. This corresponds to a prevalence of MRSA of 3.0% with a confidence interval (95% CI) of 2.1–4.2 if the number of participants is taken for reference as has until now been the usual practice in MRSA examinations in old people's homes in Germany. But if examinations are based on a Staph. aureus proportion of almost 50% as is done in MRSA examinations in hospitals, MRSA prevalence increases to 6.3% with a CI of 4.3–8.8. Catheterization, particularly urinary catheterization, entails an almost three times higher risk of contracting MRSA (OR = 2.72, significant). MRSA prevalence for urinary catheterization was 11.2%, related to the S. aureus-positive residents.

Eliminierung der Marker-Gene durch Transposasen oder durch Sequenz-spezifische Rekombinasen; Co-Transformation zweier T-DNAs in Verbindung mit der Segregation der Transgene in der Folgegeneration). Außerdem wurde versucht, an Stelle der Antibiotika-Resistenzgene andere Marker-Gene für die Identifizierung der GVP einzusetzen (“Positive Selektion” mit Glucuronoiden, Xylose oder Mannose). Dies war notwendig, um das begrenzte Spektrum verfügbarer Marker-Systeme zu erweitern und nach der ersten Transformation Marker-Gen-freie GVP zu erhalten, die unter Verwendung der bereits zuvor benutzen Marker-Systeme mit weiteren Zielgenen erneut transformiert werden können.
description: During the last ten years efforts were made to develop strategies for the elimination of marker genes after selection of genetically modified plants (GMP) (for example elimination of marker genes by transposases or by site-specific recombinases; cotransformation of two T-DNAs combined with segregation of the transgenes in the progeny) and to replace antibiotic resistance genes for the identification of GMP by a set of other marker genes (”positive selection“ with glucuronoides, xylose or mannose). These efforts were necessary to broaden the limited spectrum of marker strategies as well as to obtain GMP devoid of marker genes for conducting further rounds of transformation.

description: Currently, the reliable identification of peptides and proteins is only feasible when thoroughly annotated sequence databases are available. Although sequencing capacities continue to grow, many organisms remain without reliable, fully annotated reference genomes required for proteomic analyses. Standard database search algorithms fail to identify peptides that are not exactly contained in a protein database. De novo searches are generally hindered by their restricted reliability, and current error-tolerant search strategies are limited by global, heuristic tradeoffs between database and spectral information. We propose a Bayesian information criterion-driven error-tolerant peptide search (BICEPS) and offer an open source implementation based on this statistical criterion to automatically balance the information of each single spectrum and the database, while limiting the run time. We show that BICEPS performs as well as current database search algorithms when such algorithms are applied to sequenced organisms, whereas BICEPS only uses a remotely related organism database. For instance, we use a chicken instead of a human database corresponding to an evolutionary distance of more than 300 million years (International Chicken Genome Sequencing Consortium (2004) Sequence and comparative analysis of the chicken genome provide unique perspectives on vertebrate evolution. Nature 432, 695-716). We demonstrate the successful application to cross-species proteomics with a 33% increase in the number of identified proteins for a filarial nematode sample of Litomosoides sigmodontis.

description: The European Network for Diagnostics of “Imported” Viral Diseases (ENIVD) is finalising a project to improve the diagnostic and monitoring of encephalitis viruses in Europe. Part of this study was to analyse the present surveillance situation for tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), which is the most important flavivirus infection of the central nervous system in the European Union (EU) and Russia. A questionnaire was mailed to contact points in all Member States of the EU and three non-EU countries (Norway, Russia and Switzerland) to summarise their TBE surveillance and prevention activities. Information was requested on case definition, type of laboratory tests for TBE diagnostics, investigations regarding tick-transmitted diseases, mapping of endemic foci, vaccination programmes, and recommendations for travellers. The survey gives an overview of the existing epidemiological and laboratory sources of information and the number of TBE cases from 2004 until 2007, but also showed that, in particular, case definitions, diagnostic assays for confirmation, and methods/indicators for mapping risk areas differ widely across the participating countries. The data will help to develop recommendations for the standardisation and quality control of TBE surveillance and diagnostics.

From 23 August to 7 September, 1699 cases were reported in Podgorica (population 136 000) and we estimated the total size of the outbreak to be 10 000–15 000 corresponding to an attack rate of ~10%. We conducted an age- and neighbourhood-matched case-control study, microbiologically analysed faecal and municipal water samples and assessed the water distribution system. All cases (83/83) and 90% (89/90) of controls drank unboiled chlorinated municipal water [matched odds ratio (mOR) 11·2, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1·6–∞]. Consumption of bottled water was inversely associated with illness (mOR 0·3, 95% CI 0·1–0·8). Analyses of faecal samples identified six norovirus genotypes (21/38 samples) and occasionally other viruses. Multiple defects in the water distribution system were noted. These results suggest that the outbreak was caused by faecally contaminated municipal water. It is unusual to have such a large outbreak in a European city especially when the municipal water supply is chlorinated. Therefore, it is important to establish effective multiple-barrier water-treatment systems whenever possible, but even with an established chlorinated supply, sustained vigilance is central to public health.

description: Objective: To present body mass index (BMI) percentiles representative for children in Germany and to compare them with the currently used percentiles by Kromeyer–Hauschild (KH) and international percentiles of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). Methods:Representative examination survey of 17 641 children and adolescents aged 0–17 years living in Germany (KiGGS 2003–2006 study, response rate 67%) with standardized measurement of height and weight. Results: Generally, BMI in KiGGS was higher than in the reference populations from previous decades. KiGGS shows an asymmetric upward shift of the BMI distribution from about age 6 years and an earlier adiposity rebound compared with KH. The BMI peak in the first year of life is shown by KiGGS and WHO, but much less by KH. The cut-offs for overweight and obesity determined with the IOTF methodology in KiGGS (percentiles corresponding to BMI 25 and 30 kg/m2 at 18 years of age) were similar to IOTF cut-offs from age 18 to 10 years but systematically lower for younger children. Conclusions:The KiGGS BMI percentiles appear more valid for Germany than present alternatives and should be used for population monitoring. Despite their methodological limitations, the general shape of the older German KH references is confirmed by KiGGS for the ages 2–17 years. In order not to obscure the increase in obesity rates in the last decades, we therefore propose to continue using KH for individual diagnosis and estimation of the prevalence of overweight and obesity in this age range.

description: We demonstrate that the assembly pathway method underlying assembly theory (AT) is an encoding scheme widely used by popular statistical compression algorithms. We show that in all cases (synthetic or natural) AT performs similarly to other simple coding schemes and underperforms compared to system-related indexes based upon algorithmic probability that take into account statistical repetitions but also the likelihood of other computable patterns. Our results imply that the assembly index does not offer substantial improvements over existing methods, including traditional statistical ones, and imply that the separation between living and non-living compounds following these methods has been reported before.

description: Let ${\cal G}$ be a minor-closed graph class and let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph. We say that $G$ is a $k$-apex of ${\cal G}$ if $G$ contains a set $S$ of at most $k$ vertices such that $G\setminus S$ belongs to ${\cal G}$. Our first result is an algorithm that decides whether $G$ is a $k$-apex of ${\cal G}$ in time $2^{{\sf poly}(k)}\cdot n^2$, where ${\sf poly}$ is a polynomial function depending on ${\cal G}$. This algorithm improves the previous one, given by Sau, Stamoulis, and Thilikos [ICALP 2020], whose running time was $2^{{\sf poly}(k)}\cdot n^3$. The elimination distance of $G$ to ${\cal G}$, denoted by ${\sf ed}_{\cal G}(G)$, is the minimum number of rounds required to reduce each connected component of $G$ to a graph in ${\cal G}$ by removing one vertex from each connected component in each round. Bulian and Dawar [Algorithmica 2017] provided an FPT-algorithm, with parameter $k$, to decide whether ${\sf ed}_{\cal G}(G)\leq k$. However, its dependence on $k$ is not explicit. We extend the techniques used in the first algorithm to decide whether ${\sf ed}_{\cal G}(G)\leq k$ in time $2^{2^{2^{{\sf poly}(k)}}}\cdot n^2$. This is the first algorithm for this problem with an explicit parametric dependence in $k$. In the special case where ${\cal G}$ excludes some apex-graph as a minor, we give two alternative algorithms, running in time $2^{2^{{\cal O}(k^2\log k)}}\cdot n^2$ and $2^{{\sf poly}(k)}\cdot n^3$ respectively, where $c$ and ${\sf poly}$ depend on ${\cal G}$. As a stepping stone for these algorithms, we provide an algorithm that decides whether ${\sf ed}_{\cal G}(G)\leq k$ in time $2^{{\cal O}({\sf tw}\cdot k+{\sf tw}\log{\sf tw})}\cdot n$, where ${\sf tw}$ is the treewidth of $G$. Finally, we provide explicit upper bounds on the size of the graphs in the minor-obstruction set of the class of graphs ${\cal E}_k({\cal G})=\{G\mid{\sf ed}_{\cal G}(G)\leq k\}$.

description: Multimodal representation learning is a challenging task in which previous work mostly focus on either uni-modality pre-training or cross-modality fusion. In fact, we regard modeling multimodal representation as building a skyscraper, where laying stable foundation and designing the main structure are equally essential. The former is like encoding robust uni-modal representation while the later is like integrating interactive information among different modalities, both of which are critical to learning an effective multimodal representation. Recently, contrastive learning has been successfully applied in representation learning, which can be utilized as the pillar of the skyscraper and benefit the model to extract the most important features contained in the multimodal data. In this paper, we propose a novel framework named MultiModal Contrastive Learning (MMCL) for multimodal representation to capture intra- and inter-modality dynamics simultaneously. Specifically, we devise uni-modal contrastive coding with an efficient uni-modal feature augmentation strategy to filter inherent noise contained in acoustic and visual modality and acquire more robust uni-modality representations. Besides, a pseudo siamese network is presented to predict representation across different modalities, which successfully captures cross-modal dynamics. Moreover, we design two contrastive learning tasks, instance- and sentiment-based contrastive learning, to promote the process of prediction and learn more interactive information related to sentiment. Extensive experiments conducted on two public datasets demonstrate that our method surpasses the state-of-the-art methods.
