Investigating the intrinsic top-down dynamics of deep generative models by Lorenzo Tausani, Alberto Testolin, Marco Zorzi

“…In this work, we study the generative dynamics of a recent extension of the DBN, the iterative DBN (iDBN), which more faithfully simulates neurocognitive development by jointly tuning the connection weights across all layers of the hierarchy. We characterize the number of states visited during top-down sampling and investigate whether the heterogeneity of visited attractors could be increased by initiating the generation process from biased hidden states. …”

Multilayer entropy-weighted TOPSIS method and its decision-making in ecological operation during the subsidence period of the Three Gorges Reservoir by Ai Xueshan, Yu Yangxin, Liang Zhiming, Shi Xuanyu, Cao Rui, Zhang Xiaoke

“…The multilayer entropy-weighted TOPSIS method was used to study the non-inferior solution of the multi-objective scheduling model of the Three Gorges Reservoir, and the satisfactory solution ranking of the river flow rise process, ecological flow-related requirements, and power generation water requirements was obtained under the four schemes including 4d ~ 7d, which improved the reliability of the evaluation results and made up for the shortcomings of the traditional TOPSIS method in terms of hierarchy and weight science. The research results of this paper can provide a reference for decision-making on the ecological management of the spawning period of the " Four Major Chinese Carps" in the Three Gorges Reservoir of the Yangtze River.…”

Volumetric alterations in auditory and visual subcortical nuclei following perinatal deafness in felines by Alessandra Sacco, Stephen G. Gordon, Stephen G. Lomber

“…Overall, the current study reinforces the notion that subcortical structures likely contribute to compensatory crossmodal plasticity prior to cortical processing, and that these deafness-induced adaptations appear to be influenced by both the level of the affected structure within its respective sensory processing hierarchy and the specifics of its afferent profile.…”

Cluster analysis of digital competencies among professors in higher education by Karime Chahuán-Jiménez, Eduardo Lara-Yergues, Dominique Garrido-Araya, Elena Salum-Alvarado, Paulina Hurtado-Arenas, Rolando Rubilar-Torrealba

“…PurposeThis research focuses on the diagnosis and clustering of professor higher education in relation to digital competencies, based on different levels of digital competency development.MethodsThe methodology employed in this study involved an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis and cluster analysis using K-means clustering algorithm, considering the Silhouette score, based on the responses obtained through a questionnaire DigComEdu framework, and adjusted according to the experts who conducted a validity analysis.ResultsThe findings indicate that, for the sample professor who answers the questionnaire voluntarily and confidentially, considering margin of error of 5%, a confidence level of 95%, and a response distribution of 50%, corresponding to 314 professors, with a Crombach’s alpha of 0.56, there is no relation between the variables of investigation, age, gender, academic degree, academic hierarchy, and years in academy and the level of digital competencies among professors. …”
