Causal Atlases from Entropic Inference: Bayesian Networks beyond Optimal DAGs
Hazhir Aliahmadi, Irina Babayan, Greg van Anders
Data-driven causal relationship identification is pertinent to advancing understanding of complex systems both within and beyond science. Bayesian networks offer a probabilistic me…
Entropic Auto-Encoding via Implicit Free-Energy Minimization
Hazhir Aliahmadi, Irina Babayan, Greg van Anders
Despite their ubiquity, variational autoencoders (VAEs) inherently suffer from posterior collapse, a failure mode in which latent variables are effectively ignored. This failure ar…
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Bubble Nucleation in a Liquid-Noble Scintillator
Jack Walker, Emma Wallace, Ken Clark +2
The Scintillating Bubble Chamber collaboration is searching for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles using a novel bubble chamber with intended thresholds as low as 100eV. Existing…
Filters reveal emergent structure in computational morphogenesis
Hazhir Aliahmadi, Aidan Sheedy, Greg van Anders
Revolutionary advances in both manufacturing and computational morphogenesis raise critical questions about design sensitivity. Sensitivity questions are especially critical in con…
