Transition from Susceptible-Infected to Susceptible-Infected-Recovered Dynamics in a Susceptible-Cleric-Zombie-Recovered Active Matter Model

A. Libal, P. Forgacs, A. Neda +3

The Susceptible-Infected (SI) and Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) models provide two distinct representations of epidemic evolution, distinguished by the lack of spontaneous r…

Robustness to Label Noise Depends on the Shape of the Noise Distribution in Feature Space

Diane Oyen, Michal Kucer, Nick Hengartner +1

Machine learning classifiers have been demonstrated, both empirically and theoretically, to be robust to label noise under certain conditions -- notably the typical assumption is t…

Using Active Matter to Introduce Spatial Heterogeneity to the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered Model of Epidemic Spreading

P. Forgacs, A. Libal, C. Reichhardt +2

The widely used susceptible-infected-recovered (S-I-R) epidemic model assumes a uniform, well-mixed population, and incorporation of spatial heterogeneities remains a major challen…

A phase transition for finding needles in nonlinear haystacks with LASSO artificial neural networks

Xiaoyu Ma, Sylvain Sardy, Nick Hengartner +2

To fit sparse linear associations, a LASSO sparsity inducing penalty with a single hyperparameter provably allows to recover the important features (needles) with high probability…

Arbitrarily accurate representation of atomistic dynamics via Markov Renewal Processes

Animesh Agarwal, Sandrasegaram Gnanakaran, Nicholas Hengartner +2

Atomistic simulations with methods such as molecular dynamics are extremely powerful tools to understand nanoscale dynamical behavior. The resulting trajectories, by the virtue of…

The Novel Coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, is Highly Contagious and More Infectious Than Initially Estimated

Steven Sanche, Yen Ting Lin, Chonggang Xu +3

The novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a recently emerged human pathogen that has spread widely since January 2020. Initially, the basic reproductive number, R0, was estimated to be…
