FAIR Data Curation and Stewardship for Collection Managers: The role of integrated data linkages and services
Creators: name: Islam, Sharif
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: A presentation about FAIR data curation and stewardship -- presented at CETAF Collections group. 

Collection managers play a crucial role in the research lifecycle that turns data from physical specimens into derived research products. Ideally, we want these research products to be FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). While researchers are collecting, generating, curating, and using different types of data, collection managers are also involved in the curation and creation (adding metadata and annotation, for example) step that can ensure these research products are easily discoverable, accessible, and usable by a wide range of researchers. As the pace of digitisation is increasing and more and more integrated research environments are becoming common in different domains, natural history museums and users are also looking into how to take advantage of these data sources and services. Thus understanding data curation with data generation is an essential component of FAIR implementation for collections. However, this requires robust infrastructures that can support the creation, management, and preservation of data through the whole data lifecycle, as well as the provision of training and support services to researchers and collection managers. Some of the data curation tasks can be time consuming. Collection managers might have training in biological sciences or a specific branch of natural history but often not in data curation, stewardship, and FAIR principles. Despite the importance of data curation in collection-based research, institutions spend only a fraction of the total budget of their collections on digital skills and competencies. The DiSSCo partner capabilities survey from 2017 showed an average annual investment of less than 2% . Such a lack of budget can make it difficult for collection holding organisations to implement FAIR principles and limit the ability of researchers to access and use the available data. 

This presentation argues for the importance of FAIR data curation as a step towards narrowing the gap between physical collections and their derivative research products. To support FAIR data curation, the proposed path is twofold. First, we argue that there is a need for coordinated training on FAIR data curation and stewardship, and awareness of data related issues. This could be done in collaboration with infrastructures for collection data such as DiSSCo, iDigBIO, GBIF, or network organisations such as CETAF and BCoN. Second, the availability of data curation tools that add community curation capabilities to support the collection manager can make these tasks easier as data volume and challenge will increase.

A Robust Version of Hegedűs's Lemma, with Applications
Creators: name: Srinivasan, Srikanth
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Computational Complexity (cs.CC)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Hegedűs's lemma is the following combinatorial statement regarding polynomials over finite fields. Over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic $p > 0$ and for $q$ a power of $p$, the lemma says that any multilinear polynomial $P\in \mathbb{F}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ of degree less than $q$ that vanishes at all points in $\{0,1\}^n$ of some fixed Hamming weight $k\in [q,n-q]$ must also vanish at all points in $\{0,1\}^n$ of weight $k + q$. This lemma was used by Hegedűs (2009) to give a solution to \emph{Galvin's problem}, an extremal problem about set systems; by Alon, Kumar and Volk (2018) to improve the best-known multilinear circuit lower bounds; and by Hrubeš, Ramamoorthy, Rao and Yehudayoff (2019) to prove optimal lower bounds against depth-$2$ threshold circuits for computing some symmetric functions. In this paper, we formulate a robust version of Hegedűs's lemma. Informally, this version says that if a polynomial of degree $o(q)$ vanishes at most points of weight $k$, then it vanishes at many points of weight $k+q$. We prove this lemma and give three different applications.

Platynota stultana

description: Platynota stultana Walsingham (Tortricidae: Tortricinae)
 Platynota stultana, the omnivorous leafroller, was introduced into southern California in the late 1800’s (Powell and Opler 2009). It has subsequently expanded its range into northern California, while at the same time expanding its host range onto a variety of non-native plants (Powell 1983). This species is considered a pest in greenhouses and vineyards, but it also attacks row crops, citrus, and occasionally avocado. Adults are present year round in southern and central California. Larvae feed primarily in shelters constructed of rolled or folded leaves. Economic damage occurs when larvae web leaves to fruit or feed directly on fruit, causing superficial damage and secondary infection by bacteria and fungi.

description: Vertical graphene heterostructures have been introduced as an alternative architecture for electronic devices by using quantum tunneling. Here, we present that the current on/off ratio of vertical graphene field-effect transistors is enhanced by using an armchair graphene nanoribbon as an electrode. Moreover, we report spin-dependent tunneling current of the graphene/MoS2 heterostructures. When an atomically thin MoS2 layer sandwiched between graphene electrodes becomes magnetic, Dirac fermions with different spins feel different height of the tunnel barrier, leading to spin-dependent tunneling. Our finding will develop the present graphene heterostructures for electronic devices by improving the device performance and by adding the possibility of spintronics based on graphene.

description: This paper describes the design and implementation of a new solution to power quality problems associated with large unbalanced nonlinear loads at fine glass furnace production utilities. Such furnaces use two-phase electricity for reasons of enhanced temperature control and in order to maintain consistency of glass viscosity. A significant risk of power failure is introduced due to this requirement. The furnace load is also nonlinear in nature, due to temperature control by electronic power switching. This gives rise to risks associated with high harmonic distortion. A new method in design of filters to alleviate problems associated with this type of load is also described.
title: Cost Control during The Construction Phase of the Building Project: - The Consultant Quantity Surveyor’s Perspective.
Creators: name: Cunningham, Tony
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin
Year: 2017

description: Cost overruns are commonplace at all stages of the construction development process. This study discusses the practice and procedure employed by consultant quantity surveyors in controlling costs during the construction stage of traditionally procured building contracts. The discussion outlines generic cost planning and control procedures and advises practitioners to focus on the main areas of cost risk, - these typically arise as a result of incomplete design development. Particular emphasis is placed on the need to control expenditure under PC sums and provisional sums. The study outlines procedures regarding the administration of variations, claims for increased costs of labour and materials, and claims relating to delays and disruption of the contractor’s progress. The discussion also identifies the need for an appropriate contingency based on realistic risk assessments be retained to cover possible shocks during construction.

description: Model organisms are widely used in research as accessible and convenient systems to study a particular area or question in biology. Traditionally only a handful of organisms have been widely studied, but modern research tools are enabling researchers to extend the set of model organisms to include less-studied and more unusual systems. This Forum highlights a range of 'non-model model organisms' as emerging systems for tackling questions across the whole spectrum of biology (and beyond), the opportunities and challenges, and the outlook for the future.
Minimality Notions via Factorization Systems and Examples

description: For the minimization of state-based systems (i.e. the reduction of the number of states while retaining the system's semantics), there are two obvious aspects: removing unnecessary states of the system and merging redundant states in the system. In the present article, we relate the two minimization aspects on coalgebras by defining an abstract notion of minimality. The abstract notions minimality and minimization live in a general category with a factorization system. We will find criteria on the category that ensure uniqueness, existence, and functoriality of the minimization aspects. The proofs of these results instantiate to those for reachability and observability minimization in the standard coalgebra literature. Finally, we will see how the two aspects of minimization interact and under which criteria they can be sequenced in any order, like in automata minimization.

Dwarf Galaxy Formation with H2-Regulated Star Formation: II. Gas-Rich Dark Galaxies at Redshift 2.5

description: We present a cosmological hydrodynamic simulation of the formation of dwarf galaxies at redshifts z>~2.5 using a physically-motivated model for H2-regulated star formation. Our simulation, performed using the Enzo code and reaching a peak resolution of 109 proper parsecs at z=2.5, extends the results of Kuhlen et al. (2012) to significantly lower redshifts. We show that a star formation prescription regulated by the local H2 abundance leads to the suppression of star formation in dwarf galaxy halos with M_h 20 Gyr. The fraction of dark galaxies is 60% at M_h ~ 10^10 Msun and increases rapidly with decreasing halo mass. Dark galaxies form late and their gaseous disks never reach the surface densities, > ~5700 Msun / pc^2 (Z/10^-3 Zsun)^(-0.88), that are required to build a substantial molecular fraction. Despite this large population of dark galaxies, we show that our H2-regulated simulation is consistent with both the observed luminosity function of galaxies and the cosmological mass density of neutral gas at z>~2.5. Moreover, our results provide a theoretical explanation for the recent detection in fluorescent Ly-alpha emission of gaseous systems at high redshift with little or no associated star formation. We further propose that H2-regulation may offer a fresh solution to a number of outstanding "dwarf galaxy problems" in LambdaCDM. In particular, H2-regulation leads galaxy formation to become effectively stochastic on mass scales of M_h ~ 10^10 Msun, and thus these massive dwarfs are not "too big to fail".

description: The two-carrier transport model as proposed for the two-dimensional electron gas formed at the interfaces of oxide heterostructures is investigated by means of a combined perturbation of near ultra-violet radiation and electrostatic field, applied both separately and simultaneously. Comparison of the photo-response of the prototype systems such as the band insulator LaAlO3 and Mott insulator LaTiO3 films on TiO2 terminated SrTiO3 show remarkably similarities. Two types of non-equilibrium carriers are generated in each system, having a signature of a particular type of perturbation characterized by distinctly different relaxation process. While, the photo-conducting state diminishes in a stretched exponential manner, with a temperature dependent activation energy varying from few tens of meV to ~ 1 to 2 meV on lowering the temperature, and a relaxation time of several hours, the recovery from electrostatic gating occurs in milli-seconds time scale. An attempt is also made to explain the experimental observations using the ab-initio density functional calculations. The calculations show that the electronic transitions associated with near ultra-violet radiation emerge from bands located at ~ 2 eV above and below the Fermi energy, which are the Ti 3d states of the SrTiO3 substrate, and that from the AlO2 (TiO2) layers of the LaAlO3 (LaTiO3) films, respectively. The slow decay of the photo-current to the unperturbed state is explained in terms of the closely spaced Ti 3dxy states in the lower conduction band, which are manifested as flat bands (or localized states) in the band structure. Such localization leads to increased carrier life-times, through the energy-time relationship of the uncertainty principle.

description: We consider fixpoint algorithms for two-player games on graphs with $ω$-regular winning conditions, where the environment is constrained by a strong transition fairness assumption. Strong transition fairness is a widely occurring special case of strong fairness, which requires that any execution is strongly fair with respect to a specified set of live edges: whenever the source vertex of a live edge is visited infinitely often along a play, the edge itself is traversed infinitely often along the play as well. We show that, surprisingly, strong transition fairness retains the algorithmic characteristics of the fixpoint algorithms for $ω$-regular games -- the new algorithms have the same alternation depth as the classical algorithms but invoke a new type of predecessor operator. For Rabin games with $k$ pairs, the complexity of the new algorithm is $O(n^{k+2}k!)$ symbolic steps, which is independent of the number of live edges in the strong transition fairness assumption. Further, we show that GR(1) specifications with strong transition fairness assumptions can be solved with a 3-nested fixpoint algorithm, same as the usual algorithm. In contrast, strong fairness necessarily requires increasing the alternation depth depending on the number of fairness assumptions. We get symbolic algorithms for (generalized) Rabin, parity and GR(1) objectives under strong transition fairness assumptions as well as a direct symbolic algorithm for qualitative winning in stochastic $ω$-regular games that runs in $O(n^{k+2}k!)$ symbolic steps, improving the state of the art. Finally, we have implemented a BDD-based synthesis engine based on our algorithm. We show on a set of synthetic and real benchmarks that our algorithm is scalable, parallelizable, and outperforms previous algorithms by orders of magnitude.
Excited States, Dynamic Correlation Functions and Spectral Properties from Full Configuration Interaction Quantum Monte Carlo

description: In this communication, we propose a method for obtaining isolated excited states within the Full Configuration Interaction Quantum Monte Carlo framework. This method allows for stable sampling with respect to collapse to lower energy states and requires no uncontrolled approximations. In contrast with most previous methods to extract excited state information from Quantum Monte Carlo methods, this results from a modification to the underlying propagator, and does not require explicit orthogonalization, analytic continuation, transient estimators or restriction of the Hilbert space via a trial wavefunction. Furthermore, we show that the propagator can directly yield frequency-domain correlation functions and spectral functions such as the density of states which are difficult to obtain within a traditional Quantum Monte Carlo framework. We demonstrate this approach with pilot applications to the neon atom and beryllium dimer.

 Sabulodes aegrotata, the omnivorous looper, is a highly variable and polyphagous species that sometimes causes damage to avocado, citrus, and walnuts (Powell and Opler 2009). In California, adults are present year round, with populations increasing in the warmer months. Larvae cause economic damage by feeding on both leaves and fruit, leading to disfigurement and scarring of fruit (Faber et al. 2010).

description: Based upon reduction of emission targets established by the Argentine Government Authorities we studied the consistency of those announcements and established the energy policy goals to 2050. We contrast those targets with a non-restricted optimization model and found them quite similar. Afterwards a Net Zero scenario was defined. All these three scenarios were made using the OSeMOSYS tool. Several findings reveal that a Net Zero proposal could bring advantages and disadvantages. However, a further exploration requires to go deeper into the understanding of replacement energy sources in other sectors of the economy. A lot of tasks to be done in the near future

description: Background. In recent years, libraries and archives led important digitisation campaigns that opened the access to vast collections of historical documents. While such documents are often available as XML ALTO documents, they lack information about their logical structure. In this paper, we address the problem of Logical Layout Analysis applied to historical documents in French. We propose a rule-based method, that we evaluate and compare with two Machine-Learning models, namely RIPPER and Gradient Boosting. Our data set contains French newspapers, periodicals and magazines, published in the first half of the twentieth century in the Franche-Comté Region. Results. Our rule-based system outperforms the two other models in nearly all evaluations. It has especially better Recall results, indicating that our system covers more types of every logical label than the other two models. When comparing RIPPER with Gradient Boosting, we can observe that Gradient Boosting has better Precision scores but RIPPER has better Recall scores. Conclusions. The evaluation shows that our system outperforms the two Machine Learning models, and provides significantly higher Recall. It also confirms that our system can be used to produce annotated data sets that are large enough to envisage Machine Learning or Deep Learning approaches for the task of Logical Layout Analysis. Combining rules and Machine Learning models into hybrid systems could potentially provide even better performances. Furthermore, as the layout in historical documents evolves rapidly, one possible solution to overcome this problem would be to apply Rule Learning algorithms to bootstrap rule sets adapted to different publication periods.

description: Stenoma catenifer Walsingham (Elachistidae: Stenomatinae)
 Stenoma catenifer is the most important lepidopteran pest of avocado in the Neotropics (Wysoki et al. 2002). Although not yet found in California, this species has been recorded damaging avocados in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, México, Panama, Perú, and Venezuela, with crop losses as high as 60–80% (Hoddle and Hoddle 2008). This pest has demonstrated the ability to invade new areas because of the accidental movement of infested avocado fruit. This situation was realized in 2000 in the Galápagos Islands (Landry and Roque-Albelo 2003). Stenoma catenifer larvae cause damage similar to those of C. perseana; larvae of the latter discovered in México in 2002 were initially thought to be those of S. catenifer. Larvae of the two species are separated by the following characters: D2 pinacula on A9 fused dorsally (creating a mid-dorsal saddle) in C. perseana, whereas D2 pinaculum and D1 pinaculum are fused subdorsally in S. catenifer (creating a shared subdorsal pinaculum); L pinaculum on A9 trisetose in S. catenifer, bisetose in C. perseana; and SV pinaculum on A1 and A7 bisetose in S. catenifer, trisetose in C. perseana. Cervantes (1999) provides a complete setal map and larval description for S. catenifer.

description: In light of recent remarkable progress in Higgs search at the LHC, we study the rare decay process $h \to Zγ$ and show its correlation with the decay $h \to γγ$ in low energy SUSY models such as CMSSM, MSSM, NMSSM and nMSSM. Under various experimental constraints, we scan the parameter space of each model, and present in the allowed parameter space the SUSY predictions on the $Zγ$ and $γγ$ signal rates in the Higgs production at the LHC and future e+e- linear colliders. We have following observations: (i) Compared with the SM prediction, the $Zγ$ and $γγ$ signal rates in the CMSSM are both slightly suppressed; (ii) In the MSSM, both the $Zγ$ and $γγ$ rates can be either enhanced or suppressed, and in optimal case, the enhancement factors can reach 1.2 and 2 respectively; (iii) In the NMSSM, the $Zγ$ and $γγ$ signal rates normalized by their SM predictions are strongly correlated, and vary from 0.2 to 2; (iv) In the nMSSM, the $Zγ$ and $γγ$ rates are greatly reduced. Since the correlation behavior between the Zγsignal and the γγsignal is so model-dependent, it may be used to distinguish the models in future experiments.

The model is shown to efficiently capture Bragg scattering, spontaneous emission and photonic band gaps. A connection to the transfer matrix formalism is established in the limit of a one-dimensional optical lattice, and we find the two theories to yield results in good agreement. The advantage of the microscopic model is, however, that it suits better for studies of finite-size and disorder effects.

description: Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Tortricidae: Olethreutinae)
 The false codling moth, Thaumatotibia leucotreta, is a native of sub-Saharan Africa. This polyphagous species is a serious pest of citrus and cotton and has been recorded from more than 50 plant species in over 30 families (Brown et al. 2008, van der Geest et al. 1991). In South Africa, T. leucotreta is considered the most significant Lepidoptera pest of avocado (Erichsen and Schoeman 1994). Larvae cause direct damage by tunneling in the fruit just beneath the skin, and larval feeding often results in secondary damage caused by bacteria and fungi (Erichsen and Schoeman 1994).
 Thaumatotibia leucotreta is not established in California; however, a single male was collected in a pheromone trap in Ventura County in July, 2008 (Gilligan et al. 2011). This species is one of the most commonly intercepted tortricids on pepper (Solanaceae: Capsicum annuum L.) and eggplant (Solanaceae: Solanum melongena L.) at U.S. ports-of-entry (Brown 2006, Gilligan et al. 2011).

description: Query re-optimization is an adaptive query processing technique that re-invokes the optimizer at certain points in query execution. The goal is to dynamically correct the cardinality estimation errors using the statistics collected at runtime to adjust the query plan to improve the overall performance. We identify a key weakness in existing re-optimization algorithms: their subquery division and re-optimization trigger strategies rely heavily on the optimizer's initial plan, which can be far away from optimal. We, therefore, propose QuerySplit, a novel re-optimization algorithm that skips the potentially misleading global plan and instead generates subqueries directly from the logical plan as the basic re-optimization units. By developing a cost function that prioritizes the execution of less "damaging" subqueries, QuerySplit successfully postpones (sometimes avoids) the execution of complex large joins to maximize their probability of having smaller input sizes. We implemented QuerySplit in PostgreSQL and compared our solution against four state-of-the-art re-optimization algorithms using the Join Order Benchmark. Our experiments show that QuerySplit reduces the benchmark execution time by 35% compared to the second-best alternative. The performance gap between QuerySplit and an optimal optimizer is within 4%.

description: We analyze the optical spectra of massive (log M*/Msun > 11.4) radio-loud galaxies at z~0.2 and z~0.6. By comparing stellar population parameters of these radio-loud samples with radio-quiet control samples, we investigate how the presence of a radio-emitting jet relates to the recent star formation history of the host galaxy. We also investigate how the emission-line properties of the radio galaxies evolve with redshift by stacking their spectra. Our main results are the following. (1) Both at low and at high redshift, half as many radio-loud as radio-quiet galaxies have experienced significant star formation in the past Gyr. (2) The Balmer absorption line properties of massive galaxies that have experienced recent star formation show that star formation occurred as a burst in many of these systems. (3) Both the radio and the emission-line luminosity of radio AGN evolve significantly with redshift. However, radio galaxies with similar stellar population parameters, have similar emission-line properties both at high- and at low-redshift. These results suggest that massive galaxies experience cyclical episodes of gas accretion, star formation and black hole growth, followed by the production of a radio jet that shuts down further activity. The behaviour of galaxies with log M*/Msun > 11.4 is the same at z = 0.6 as it is at z = 0.2, except that higher redshift galaxies experience more star formation and black hole growth and produce more luminous radio jets during each accretion cycle.

description: "There and Back Again" (TABA) is a programming pattern where the recursive calls traverse one data structure and the subsequent returns traverse another. This article presents new TABA examples, refines existing ones, and formalizes both their control flow and their data flow using the Coq Proof Assistant. Each formalization mechanizes a pen-and-paper proof, thus making it easier to "get" TABA. In addition, this article identifies and illustrates a tail-recursive variant of TABA, There and Forth Again (TAFA) that does not come back but goes forth instead with more tail calls.

description: Using variational methods together with symmetries given by singular Riemannian foliations with positive dimensional leaves, we prove the existence of an infinite number of sign-changing solutions to Yamabe type problems, which are constant along the leaves of the foliation, and one positive solution of minimal energy among any other solution with these symmetries. In particular, we find sign-changing solutions to the Yamabe problem on the round sphere with new qualitative behavior when compared to previous results, that is, these solutions are constant along the leaves of a singular Riemannian foliation which is not induced neither by a group action nor by an isoparametric function. To prove the existence of these solutions, we prove a Sobolev embedding theorem for general singular Riemannian foliations, and a Principle of Symmetric Criticality for the associated energy functional to a Yamabe type problem.

description: Other Lepidoptera pests  Other species of Lepidoptera have been occasionally recorded on avocado in California (M. Epstein, pers. comm.); although we are unaware of other species reaching pest status in the state. Noctuidae, Arctiinae, Papilionidae, Hesperiidae, and Psychidae have been reported on avocado in México (Waite and Barrera 2002, USDA 2004); however, these species, where known, are not present in California. It is conceivable that any highly polyphagous species of Lepidoptera would feed on avocado if given an opportunity as many of the known pests are general feeders.

description: The `mathematical language' Automath, conceived by N.G. de Bruijn in 1968, was the first theorem prover actually working and was used for checking many specimina of mathematical content. Its goals and syntactic ideas inspired Th. Coquand and G. Huet to develop the calculus of constructions, CC, which was one of the first widely used interactive theorem provers and forms the basis for the widely used Coq system. The original syntax of Automath is not easy to grasp. Yet, it is essentially based on a derivation system that is similar to the Calculus of Constructions (`CC'). The relation between the Automath syntax and CC has not yet been sufficiently described, although there are many references in the type theory community to Automath. In this paper we focus on the backgrounds and on some uncommon aspects of the syntax of Automath. We expose the fundamental aspects of a `generic' Automath system, encapsulating the most common versions of Automath. We present this generic Automath system in a modern syntactic frame. The obtained system makes use of λD, a direct extension of CC with definitions.

description: We explore the relationship between astrophysical gamma-ray signals and LHC signatures for a class of phenomenologically successful secluded dark matter models, motivated by recent evidence for a ~130 GeV gamma-ray line. We consider in detail scenarios in which interactions between the dark sector and the standard model are mediated by a vev-less scalar field ϕ, transforming as an N-plet (N > 3) under SU(2)_L. Since some of the component fields of ϕcarry large electric charges, loop induced dark matter annihilation to γγand γZ can be enhanced without the need for non-perturbatively large couplings, and without overproduction of continuum gamma-rays from other final states. We discuss prospects for other experimental tests, including dark matter-nucleon scattering and production of ϕat the LHC, where future searches for anomalous charged tracks may be sensitive. The first LHC hints could come from the Higgs sector, where loop corrections involving ϕlead to significantly modified h to γγand h to γZ branching ratios.

description: In traditional foreign language learning programmes students are offered a tutor model characterised by slow, deliberate speech. This is insufficient to prepare them to cope with native, colloquial speech. By applying a timescale modification (TSM) algorithm to natural-speed, native speech, students have access to a more desirable, natural speech corpus which permits them to practise essential listening skills in a more focussed manner. This paper presents a method which allows slowing down speech without compromising the quality, pitch or naturalness of the slowed speech by applying different scaling factors to different types of speech segments. The new method is compared to traditional uniform-rate techniques and other variable time-scaling methods. The results show that the proposed approach produces a superior quality output, even for high modification rates.

description: An effective way to minimise harmonic pollution in power systems is by careful design of the equipment connected to them. It is important for designers of equipment associated with emerging technologies to be aware of the potential impact of their designs on power system quality. One such upcoming technology is electric vehicle (EV) battery charging which may contribute to high harmonic distortion in the power system during the charging period. The literature notes total harmonic distortion of up to 50%. These findings are the impetus behind the present paper, where an EV battery charger has been designed, with an inherent power quality control feature. A parallel power circuit topology has been proposed on an existing ferroresonant charger, which ensures that the THD of the input current remains within the acceptable harmonic distortion limits of the distribution system. The design and control of the battery charger are elaborated upon in the paper and simulation results are presented which confirm the performance of the charger.

description: Partitioning a set of elements into subsets of a priori unknown sizes is essential in many applications. These subset sizes are rarely explicitly learned - be it the cluster sizes in clustering applications or the number of shared versus independent generative latent factors in weakly-supervised learning. Probability distributions over correct combinations of subset sizes are non-differentiable due to hard constraints, which prohibit gradient-based optimization. In this work, we propose the differentiable hypergeometric distribution. The hypergeometric distribution models the probability of different group sizes based on their relative importance. We introduce reparameterizable gradients to learn the importance between groups and highlight the advantage of explicitly learning the size of subsets in two typical applications: weakly-supervised learning and clustering. In both applications, we outperform previous approaches, which rely on suboptimal heuristics to model the unknown size of groups.
