Interplay Between Vertical and Horizontal Schemes of Computation: From Bayesian Inference to Quantum Logic via Gluing Boolean Algebras

Artificial intelligence is typically formulated as an information-processing system composed of artificial neurons, where computation is understood as recursive operations connecting inputs and outputs. However, real neural systems are mate...

Optimization Strategies in Quantum Machine Learning: A Performance Analysis

This study presents a comprehensive comparison of multiple optimization algorithms applied to a quantum classification model, utilizing the Cleveland dataset. Specifically, the research focuses on three prominent optimizers—COBYLA, L-BFGS-B...

Finding spin glass ground states using quantum walks

Quantum computation using continuous-time evolution under a natural hardware Hamiltonian is a promising near- and mid-term direction toward powerful quantum computing hardware. We investigate the performance of continuous-time quantum walks...

Cybersecurity for distributed energy resources and smart inverters

The increased penetration of distributed energy resources (DER) will significantly increase the number of devices that are owned and controlled by consumers and third‐parties. These devices have a significant dependency on digital communica...

Lexicography and natural language processing

The chapter introduces links between lexicography and natural language processing in both directions. First, how the lexicographic work benefits from techniques of natural language processing such as word sense disambiguation, semantic simi...

Prediction Intervals for Artificial Neural Networks

The artificial neural network (ANN) is becoming a very popular model for engineering and scientific applications. Inspired by brain architecture, artificial neural networks represent a class of nonlinear models capable of learning from data...

An IXPE-led X-Ray Spectropolarimetric Campaign on the Soft State of Cygnus X-1: X-Ray Polarimetric Evidence for Strong Gravitational Lensing

We present the first X-ray spectropolarimetric results for Cygnus X-1 in its soft state from a campaign of five IXPE observations conducted during 2023 May–June. Companion multiwavelength data during the campaign are likewise shown. The 2–8...

Reconnaissance with JWST of the J-region Asymptotic Giant Branch in Distance Ladder Galaxies: From Irregular Luminosity Functions to Approximation of the Hubble Constant

We study stars in the J-regions of the asymptotic giant branch (JAGB) of near-infrared color–magnitude diagrams in the maser host NGC 4258 and four hosts of six Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia): NGC 1448, NGC 1559, NGC 5584, and NGC 5643. These ...

Enhancing Psychiatry Training Using an Agentic AI Simulated Consultation Tool: Prospective Cohort Study

Abstract BackgroundCanadian psychiatry residents must demonstrate consultation competency, assessed using the standardized assessment of a clinical encounter report (STACER). However, opportunities to practice these skills and r...

A multi-year analysis of Canadian Arctic historical weather data in support of solar and wind renewable energy deployment

This work explores the importance of renewable resource temporal distribution for solar and wind energy deployment in Arctic communities to meet building and ancillary loads. An analysis of ten years of historic weather data was performed f...

Effects of industrialization on Tanzania’s economic growth: a case of manufacturing sector

Abstract This article examines the impact of industrialization on economic growth in Tanzania focusing on the drivers of structural changes in the manufacturing sector. We apply the vector error correction model based on a parsimonious mode...

Cybersecurity and Sustainable Development

Growing interdependencies between organizations lead them towards the creation of inter-organizational networks where cybersecurity and sustainable development have become one of the most important issues. The Environmental Goods and Servic...

Support for mask use as a COVID-19 public health measure among a large sample of Canadian secondary school students

Abstract Background Youth voice has been largely absent from deliberations regarding public health measures intended to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission, despite being one of the populations most impacted by school-based policies. To inform ...
