Bayesian estimation of the number of significant principal components for cultural data
Joshua C. Macdonald, Javier Blanco-Portillo, Marcus W. Feldman +1
Principal component analysis (PCA) is often used to analyze multivariate data together with cluster analysis, which depends on the number of principal components used. It is theref…
What makes a language easy to deep-learn? Deep neural networks and humans similarly benefit from compositional structure
Lukas Galke, Yoav Ram, Limor Raviv
Deep neural networks drive the success of natural language processing. A fundamental property of language is its compositional structure, allowing humans to systematically produce…
Emergent Communication for Understanding Human Language Evolution: What's Missing?
Lukas Galke, Yoav Ram, Limor Raviv
Emergent communication protocols among humans and artificial neural network agents do not yet share the same properties and show some critical mismatches in results. We describe th…
Sustainable computational science: the ReScience initiative
Nicolas P. Rougier, Konrad Hinsen, Frédéric Alexandre +42
Computer science offers a large set of tools for prototyping, writing, running, testing, validating, sharing and reproducing results, however computational science lags behind. In…
The probability of improvement in Fisher's geometric model: a probabilistic approach
Yoav Ram, Lilach Hadany
Fisher developed his geometric model to support the micro-mutationalism hypothesis which claims that small mutations are more likely to be beneficial and therefore to contribute to…
Forecasting the Israeli 2015 elections using a smartphone application
Yoav Ram, Ofer Moshaioff, Idan Cohen +1
We developed a smartphone application, Ha'Midgam, to poll and forecast the results of the 2015 Israeli elections. The application was downloaded by over 7,500 people. We present th…
Stress-Induced Mutagenesis and Complex Adaptation
Yoav Ram, Lilach Hadany
Because mutations are mostly deleterious, mutation rates should be reduced by natural selection. However, mutations also provide the raw material for adaptation. Therefore, evoluti…
