A well-balanced exploration-exploitation trade-off is crucial for successful acquisition functions in Bayesian optimization. However, there is a lack of quantitative measures for exploration, making it difficult to analyze and compare different acquisition functions. This work introduces two novel approaches - observation traveling salesman distance and observation entropy - to quantify the explor
Recent work reported that simple Bayesian optimization methods perform well for high-dimensional real-world tasks, seemingly contradicting prior work and tribal knowledge. This paper investigates the 'why'. We identify fundamental challenges that arise in high-dimensional Bayesian optimization and explain why recent methods succeed. Our analysis shows that vanishing gradients caused by Gaussian pr
Bayesian optimization (BO ) is an effective method for optimizing expensive-to-evaluate black-box functions. While high-dimensional problems can be particularly challenging, due to the multitude of parameter choices and the potentially high number of data points required to fit the model, this limitation can be addressed if the problem satisfies simplifying assumptions. Axis-aligned subspace appro

Episodiska minnen kan sträcka sig bortom direkta upplevelser. Till exempel, om du ser en kvinna promenera med en hund och senare observerar en man med samma hund, kan du dra slutsatsen att det finns en koppling mellan dem. Sådana inferenser är centrala för att möjliggöra flexibelt beslutsfattande och generalisering av tidigare kunskap till nya situationer, och anses bero på mekanismer för minnesinEpisodic memories can extend beyond direct experiences. For example, if you see a woman walking a dog and later observe a man walking the same dog, you might infer a connection between them. These inferences, crucial for making novel decisions and extending knowledge to new situations, are thought to rely on memory integration mechanisms.Two main mechanisms have been proposed for memory integratio
This study investigates how the brain encodes episodic events to support diverse memory functions. Thirty-six participants viewed movies simulating real-life interactions while EEG was recorded. They first watched movies featuring two characters (AB), followed by scenes where one original character interacted with a new one (BC). Memory was assessed for direct (AB and BC), indirect (AC) associatio
BACKGROUND: Haemophilus influenzae community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is common, and it is equally common to Streptococcus pneumoniae in some settings. The purpose of this study was to provide additional data on patients affected by H. influenzae CAP and their outcomes.METHODS: Streptococcus pneumoniae-caused CAP (111 cases) was compared to CAP with H. influenzae (53 cases). Patients were adults (
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a significant health threat for adults. Although conjugate vaccines have reduced pneumococcal CAP incidence in children, Streptococcus pneumoniae-related CAP remains prevalent among older adults. The nasopharynx acts as a reservoir for S. pneumoniae, yet the interplay between this pathogen and the nasopharyngeal microbiome during and after pneumonia remains po
An efficient extension of conventional rate-dependent crystal plasticity is formulated to include the influence of block boundaries in lath martensite. It is shown that this can be achieved by minor modifications to a conventional crystal plasticity model, providing an efficient modeling approach with a negligible additional computational cost. With this modification, the parameter related to latt
Jordbrukslandskapet är en viktig livsmiljö för ungefär hälften av Europas växter och djur. Bevarande av biologisk mångfald i odlingslandskapet innebär bland annat att viktiga ekosystemtjänsterär bibehålls. Pollinerande insekter och naturliga fiender till skadegörare är exempel på organismer som utgör en betydande resurs i jordbruket av stor ekonomisk betydelse. Kunskap om hur jordbruksåtgärder, ti
The cerebellum is a large brain structure. Most of the mass and volume of the cerebellum is made up by the cerebellar cortex. The outer layer of the cerebellar cortex is divided functionally into long, thin strips called microzones. We argue that the cerebellar microzone computation is the aggregate of simple unit computations and a passive effect of anatomy, unaided and unlearned, which we recrea
The Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is a binding international treaty signed by 196 nations to limit their greenhouse gas emissions through ever-reducing Nationally Determined Contributions and a system of 5-yearly Global Stocktakes in an Enhanced Transparency Framework. To support this process, the European Commission initiated the design and developme
Advances in Earth observation capabilities mean that there is now a multitude of spatially resolved data sets available that can support the quantification of water and carbon pools and fluxes at the land surface. However, such quantification ideally requires efficient synergistic exploitation of those data, which in turn requires carbon and water land-surface models with the capability to simulta
