Collaborative Information Bottleneck
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-02)
This paper investigates a multi-terminal source coding problem under a logarithmic loss fidelity which does not necessarily lead to an additive distortion measure. The problem is motivated by an extension of the information ...
Information Bottleneck and Representation Learning
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
A grand challenge in representation learning is the development of computational algorithms that learn the different explanatory factors of variation behind high-dimensional data. Representation models (usually referred ...
Evidence of a genetic bottleneck in an El Nino affected population of South American fur seals, Arctocephalus australis
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2009)
The South American fur seal, Arctocephalus australis, was one of the earliest otariid seals to be exploited by humans: at least 6000 years ago on the Atlantic coast and 4000 on the Pacific coast of South America. More than ...
Integrating Different Biological Evidence Around Some Microevolutionary Processes: Bottlenecks and Asian-American Arctic Gene Flow in the New World Settlement
(BioMed Central, 2011-05)
Excepting some specific efforts, most of the mainstream debate around the Americas' settlement has been directed by specialists dealing with partial evidence. Thus, discussions have been confined to particular academic and ...
On the exponential approximation of type II error probability of distributed test of independence
(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers, 2021)
This paper studies distributed binary test of statistical independence under communication (information bits) constraints. While testing independence is very relevant in various applications, distributed independence test ...
Genetic diversity of Brazilian Brahman cattle by pedigree analysis
(2018-01-01)
The objective of this work was to evaluate the genetic diversity of Brahman cattle in Brazil with pedigree analysis. Genealogical records of a subpopulation were used considering all pedigree information (Pt) and the ...
Compression-based regularization with an application to multitask learning
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-10)
This paper investigates, from information theoretic grounds, a learning problem based on the principle that any regularity in a given dataset can be exploited to extract compact features from data, i.e., using fewer bits ...
Genetic structure and evidence of anthropogenic effects on wild populations of two neotropical catfishes: Baselines for conservation
(2018-01-01)
Genetic diversity and structure of Pseudoplatystoma corruscans and P. reticulatum, large migratory SouthAmerica catfishes, where overfishing and the construction of numerous dams in their feeding and reproducing areas are ...
Identifying and Visualizing Congestion Bottlenecks with Automated Vehicle Location Systems: Application in Transantiago, Chile
(2017)
Monitoring speeds and identifying problem areas are essential for any public transport system because of the direct impact on its operating costs and on users’ travel time. This study generated a tool that identified, ...
Antenatal corticosteroids for management of preterm birth: a multi-country analysis of health system bottlenecks and potential solutions
(BioMed Central, 2015-09)
BACKGROUND:Preterm birth complications are the leading cause of deaths for children under five years. Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) are effective at reducing mortality and serious morbidity amongst infants born at <34 ...
