Better Community detection in brain connectomes with hybrid quantum computing?
Advances in network neuroscience see the brain as a small-world system. Our study explores using quantum annealers for community detection in brain connectomes. Quantum methods show higher modularity than classical algorithms, promising efficient network analysis.
“Effective interactions” shape the evolution of drug resistance (and much more)
In a new study, we examine how global epistasis—where gene-gene interactions follow a tractable pattern—is shaped by the environment, and defines how drug resistance evolves in malaria. This may allow us to better predict and control adaptive evolution at the molecular level.
Application of probabilistic multi-objective optimization in material milling
In the PMOO, a new concept of “preferable probability” is introduced, and the objectives are preliminarily divided into two basic types, i.e., beneficial and unbeneficial type. The total preferable probability is the product of all partial preferable probabilities, which is the decisive indicator.
