Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Reinforcement learning shapes economic preferences in 11 [very different] countries
We sampled economic preferences in 11 countries through decision-making tasks. Option values were either disclosed overtly, or learned through reinforcement learning. Risk and cultural differences conditioned preferences when values were disclosed, but not when learned through trial-and-error.
A high-quality dataset featuring classifed and annotated cervical spine X-ray atlas
The Cervical Spine X-ray Atlas (CSXA) is a dataset to aid the research communities in experiment
replication and advancing the feld of medical imaging in cervical spine, which includes 4963 raw PNG images and 4963 annotated images with JSON format, and enriched with a lot of necessary information.
Biomarkers for ideal protein: rabbit diet metabolomics varying key amino acids
This paper primarily aims to explore ideal protein biomarker signatures through both targeted and untargeted metabolomics analysis in a rabbit model.
Morphology shaped community dynamics in early animal ecosystems
Early animals from the Avalonian Ediacaran look unlike anything alive today. We used community ecology techniques to understand succession processes, tiering, and community composition.
Which algorithm is just right for my data?
Artificial intelligence is impacting research and drug discovery and such techniques have been developed and applied for decades for structure activity analysis. Yet the question of which algorithm to use and how many molecules are needed is still an open one. We found a Goldilocks zone may apply.
Early life cold and heat exposure impacts white matter development in children
Brain scans of more than 2500 preadolescents suggest that early life exposure to heat and cold may have lasting impacts on brain white matter. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, highlights the vulnerability of foetuses and children to extreme temperatures
