If a new pathogen causes a large epidemic, then it might “burn out” before causing a second epidemic. The burnout probability can be estimated from large numbers of computationally intensive ...

Abstract: Due to the thermal imaging mechanism, infrared images are inevitably contaminated by thermal radiation bias fields. Correcting this low-frequency nonuniformity is challenging because the ...

Emerging evidence suggests that elevated circulating levels of HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) could be linked to an increased mortality risk. However, to the best of our knowledge, the ...

This repo contains all submitted documents and code for OSPEAD, most of which has been private until now. OSPEAD is a proposed improvement to Monero's decoy selection algorithm that would reduce the ...

Local differential privacy has become the gold-standard of privacy literature for gathering or releasing sensitive individual data points in a privacy-preserving manner. However, locally differential ...

A primary goal of collective population behavior studies is to determine the rules governing crowd distributions in order to predict future behaviors in new environments. Current top-down modeling ...
