Progression of International Students through their Undergraduate Studies in an Irish Higher Education Institution: A Qualitative Study

The focus of this paper is on the progression of international students through their undergraduate studies in an Irish higher education institution. Despite the increasing presence of international students in higher education, their persp...

Plasma Exchange for ANCA-Associated Vasculitis: An International Survey of Patient PreferencesPlain Language Summary

Rationale & Objective: We sought to elicit patient preferences regarding the use of plasma exchange in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) and its tradeoffs of risk of kidney failure and risk of serious infec...

Benchmarking spiking neurons for linear quadratic regulator control of multi-linked pole on a cart: from single neuron to ensemble

The emerging field of neuromorphic computing for edge control applications poses the need to quantitatively estimate and limit the number of spiking neurons, to reduce network complexity and optimize the number of neurons per core and hence...

Quantum Computing for Finance: State-of-the-Art and Future Prospects

This article outlines our point of view regarding the applicability, state-of-the-art, and potential of quantum computing for problems in finance. We provide an introduction to quantum computing as well as a survey on problem classes in fin...

Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructures: Attack and Defense Modeling

Disruption of electric power operations can be catastrophic on national security and the economy. Due to the complexity of widely dispersed assets and the interdependences among computer, communication, and power infrastructures, the requir...

On the Challenges of Quantum Circuit Encoding Using Deep and Reinforcement Learning

Quantum computers may solve some computing tasks more efficiently than classical com- puters, but to do so requires the design of appropriate quantum circuits. However, it is hard to design even simple quantum programs. Recent results have ...

Carbon Catabolite Repression in Filamentous Fungi Is Regulated by Phosphorylation of the Transcription Factor CreA

In filamentous fungi, the transcription factor CreA controls carbohydrate metabolism through the regulation of genes encoding enzymes required for the use of alternative carbon sources. In this work, phosphorylation sites were identified on...

A general theory of glacier surges

We present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets. Enthalpy (in the form of thermal energy and water) is gained at the glacier bed ...

Parent Representatives' Experiences of Participating in Children's Disability Network Team Service Improvement Groups in Ireland: A Qualitative Study.

User‐Based Evaluation of Explainability Techniques for Misogyny Detection in Code‐Mixed Hindi–English

ABSTRACT Although artificial intelligence (AI) models have demonstrated great success and efficiency in automatically countering online hate speech and misogyny, they suffer from a lack of explainability and transparency. Explainable artifi...

Domain-Specific Sentiment Analysis: An Optimized Deep Learning Approach for the Financial Markets

Although different studies are caried out by deep learning models for financial markets sentiment analysis, there is a lack of specific embedding method that regards the domain. Therefore, the goal of this study is to discover what type of ...

A Comprehensive Joint Learning System to Detect Skin Cancer

Skin, the body’s biggest organ and a barrier against heat, light, damage, and infection can be affected by many diseases. However, a correct diagnosis can lead to proper treatment. Skin diseases must be identified early to reduce ski...

Improving Image Embeddings With Colour Features in Indoor Scene Geolocation

Embeddings remain the best way to represent image features, but do not always capture all latent information. This is still a problem in representation learning, and computer vision descriptors struggle with precision and accuracy. Improvin...

eD octor: machine learning and the future of medicine

Machine learning (ML) is a burgeoning field of medicine with huge resources being applied to fuse computer science and statistics to medical problems. Proponents of ML extol its ability to deal with large, complex and disparate data, often ...

Operational Digital Shadow for Onshore Wind Energy Systems

Accurate, uncertainty-aware estimation of instantaneous wind turbine output is a prerequisite for integrating onshore assets into low-emission energy systems, where operational monitoring, energy-performance verification, and cooperative as...

Automatic Differentiation in Machine Learning: a Survey

Derivatives, mostly in the form of gradients and Hessians, are ubiquitous in machine learning. Automatic differentiation (AD) is a technique for calculating derivatives of numeric functions expressed as computer programs efficiently and acc...

Occupational exposures, complementarity and the potential consequences of A.I. for the labour market: some evidence from Ireland

Abstract The adoption of AI technology by industry could significantly disrupt our current understanding of “typical” economic activity. As AI comes to pervade more sectors and occupations over time, it is likely that this technology will g...

LatentColorization: Latent Diffusion-Based Speaker Video Colorization

While current research predominantly focuses on image-based colorization, the domain of video-based colorization remains relatively unexplored. Many existing video colorization techniques operate frame-by-frame, often overlooking the critic...
