Incorporating sparse labels into hidden Markov models using weighted likelihoods improves accuracy and interpretability in biologging studies.

PloS one
Ecologists often use a hidden Markov model to decode a latent process, such as a sequence of an animal's behaviours, from an observed biologging time series. Modern technological devices such as video recorders and drones now allow researchers to dir...

Ethical and security challenges in AI for forensic genetics: From bias to adversarial attacks.

Forensic science international. Genetics
Forensic scientists play a crucial role in assigning probabilities to evidence based on competing hypotheses, which is fundamental in legal contexts where propositions are presented usually by prosecution and defense. The likelihood ratio (LR) is a w...

Machine learning in causal inference for epidemiology.

European journal of epidemiology
In causal inference, parametric models are usually employed to address causal questions estimating the effect of interest. However, parametric models rely on the correct model specification assumption that, if not met, leads to biased effect estimate...

Machine learning can be as good as maximum likelihood when reconstructing phylogenetic trees and determining the best evolutionary model on four taxon alignments.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
Phylogenetic tree reconstruction with molecular data is important in many fields of life science research. The gold standard in this discipline is the phylogenetic tree reconstruction based on the Maximum Likelihood method. In this study, we present ...

Non-Intrusive System for Honeybee Recognition Based on Audio Signals and Maximum Likelihood Classification by Autoencoder.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Artificial intelligence and Internet of Things are playing an increasingly important role in monitoring beehives. In this paper, we propose a method for automatic recognition of honeybee type by analyzing the sound generated by worker bees and drone ...

Reliable estimation of tree branch lengths using deep neural networks.

PLoS computational biology
A phylogenetic tree represents hypothesized evolutionary history for a set of taxa. Besides the branching patterns (i.e., tree topology), phylogenies contain information about the evolutionary distances (i.e. branch lengths) between all taxa in the t...

Boosting integral-based human pose estimation through implicit heatmap learning.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Human pose estimation typically encompasses three categories: heatmap-, regression-, and integral-based methods. While integral-based methods possess advantages such as end-to-end learning, full-convolution learning, and being free from quantization ...

Artificial neural networks for model identification and parameter estimation in computational cognitive models.

PLoS computational biology
Computational cognitive models have been used extensively to formalize cognitive processes. Model parameters offer a simple way to quantify individual differences in how humans process information. Similarly, model comparison allows researchers to id...

Consideration on the learning efficiency of multiple-layered neural networks with linear units.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
In the last two decades, remarkable progress has been done in singular learning machine theories on the basis of algebraic geometry. These theories reveal that we need to find resolution maps of singularities for analyzing asymptotic behavior of stat...

A new method for clustered survival data: Estimation of treatment effect heterogeneity and variable selection.

Biometrical journal. Biometrische Zeitschrift
We recently developed a new method random-intercept accelerated failure time model with Bayesian additive regression trees (riAFT-BART) to draw causal inferences about population treatment effect on patient survival from clustered and censored surviv...
