This paper presents a new approach for mapping neuronal networks in vertebrate brains using a combination of deep nets and Discrete Morse techniques from computational topology. By skeletonizing labeled axon fragments and estimating a volumetric length density, this approach provides a biologically meaningful quantification of regional projections. It also offers noise-robustness and the potential to bridge between single-axon skeletons and tracer injections, making it a valuable tool for studying neural networks in academic research.

This paper presents a new approach for solving nonlinear PDEs using sparse radial basis function networks. By incorporating sparsity-promoting regularization, the method aims to overcome challenges in traditional RBF collocation methods and limitations of physics-informed neural networks and Gaussian process approaches. The proposed framework is based on a theoretical foundation in the function space of Reproducing Kernel Banach Spaces and offers potential for efficient and adaptive PDE solvers with rigorous analysis.

Relative Overfitting and Accept-Reject Framework (2505.07783v1)

This paper proposes a new framework, Accept-Reject (AR), to control noise effects in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Small Language Models (SLMs). Through this framework, SLMs can positively influence LLM decision outputs, resulting in universal, stable, and effective performance improvements with lower parameter and computational costs. The potential of this approach in other machine learning domains, such as computer vision and AI for science, is also explored. This has the potential to create a lasting impact in academic research by helping to overcome existing bottlenecks in scaling laws.
