Using Multiomics To Understand Spatial Heterogeneity in Alzheimer’s Disease

Single-cell -Omics analysis methods are having a transformational impact on research in the life sciences. Specifically, the capacity to assess genomes, transcriptomes, or proteomes of individual cells in place of (or in addition to) measuring the average signals from populations of cells allows researchers to ask and answer questions that have never been accessible until […]

Studying weak-to-strong-generalisation using influence functions

A crucial reason that it is possible to train ML systems to outperform human experts in narrow domains such as protein folding or chess, is because for these well-defined problems, it is easy to produce a reliable reward signal. However, current techniques for aligning frontier models with human goals, such as human feedback, are only […]

High-Performance Ethylene Production via Electrochemical CO2 Reduction Using Cu Diatomic Catalysts

As atmospheric CO2 levels rapidly increase due to industrialization, electrocatalytic reduction technology using renewable energy to convert CO2 (CO2RR) into valuable multi-carbon products such as ethylene, ethanol, and propanol is in the spotlight. Copper is the only metal that can form these C2+ products due to its unique properties. Despite many studies, morphological and chemical […]

Past and current Bitcoin adopters in Canada

The popularity of cryptocurrencies has continued to increase over the past years, raising serious policy concerns among Central Banks. Given the Bank of Canada’s role in maintaining financial stability, its 2019 Financial System Review identified the evolution of the cryptoasset market as one of six financial vulnerabilities that need to be monitored closely. Currently, in […]

A behavioural planning capability for autonomous aircraft

The objective is to expand on current collision avoidance path planning frameworks in a two-fold manner, improving prediction as well as decision-making components. The first task is to improve prediction models and generate maneuver bands for air traffic circuit navigation. The second task is to then improve the decision-making framework to select the pseudo-optimal maneuver, […]
