We build a general framework which establishes a one-to-one correspondence between species abundance distribution (SAD) and species accumulation curve (SAC). The appearance rates of the species and the appearance times of individuals of…
We consider species tree estimation under a standard stochastic model of gene tree evolution that incorporates incomplete lineage sorting (as modeled by a coalescent process) and gene duplication and loss (as modeled by a branching…
The classic multispecies coalescent (MSC) model provides the means for theoretical justification of incomplete lineage sorting-aware species tree inference methods. A large body of work in phylogenetics is dedicated to the design of…
In phylogenomics, species-tree methods must contend with two major sources of noise; stochastic gene-tree variation under the multispecies coalescent model (MSC) and finite-sequence substitutional noise. Fast agglomerative methods such as…
This paper presents a new approach to statistical similarity assessment based on sequence alignment. The algorithm performs mutual matching of two random sequences by successively searching for common elements and by applying sequence…
The multispecies coalescent model describes the generation of gene trees from a rooted metric species tree, and thus provides a framework for the inference of species trees from sampled gene trees. We prove that the STAR method of Liu et…
Let $K_n$ denote the number of types of a sample of size $n$ taken from an exchangeable coalescent process ($\Xi$-coalescent) with mutation. A distributional recursion for the sequence $(K_n)_{n\in{\mathbb N}}$ is derived. If the coalescent…
We present a detection scheme for diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) based on a two cell geometry that allows efficient ensemble averaging. This is achieved by putting a fast rotating diffuser in the optical path between laser and sample. We…
In this paper, we study a sequential decision-making problem, called Adaptive Sampling for Discovery (ASD). Starting with a large unlabeled dataset, algorithms for ASD adaptively label the points with the goal to maximize the sum of…
Species tree estimation from multi-locus datasets is statistically challenging for multiple reasons, including gene tree heterogeneity across the genome due to incomplete lineage sorting (ILS). Species tree estimation methods have been…
The Type D asymmetric simple exclusion process (Type D ASEP) is a two-species interacting particle system exhibiting a drift, where two particles may occupy the same site only if they belong to different species. In previous research…
In recommendation systems, items are likely to be exposed to various users and we would like to learn about the familiarity of a new user with an existing item. This can be formulated as an anomaly detection (AD) problem distinguishing…
Weed species classification represents an important step for the development of automated targeting systems that allow the adoption of precision agriculture practices. To reduce costs and yield losses caused by their presence. The…
The sample frequency spectrum of a segregating site is the probability distribution of a sample of alleles from a genetic locus, conditional on observing the sample to have more than one clearly different phenotypes. We present a model for…
The number of elements (N) and types (S) sampled from an ecological system are among the most powerful constraints on observations of abundance, distribution, and diversity. Together, N and S determine sets of possible forms (i.e., feasible…
While conditional diffusion models are known to have good coverage of the data distribution, they still face limitations in output diversity, particularly when sampled with a high classifier-free guidance scale for optimal image quality or…
A multi-species generalization of the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) is studied in ordered sequential and sub-lattice parallel updating schemes. In this model particles hop with their own specific probabilities to their…
Analyzer of Spectra for Age Determination (ASAD) is a new package that can easily predict the age and reddening of stellar clusters from their observed optical integrated spectra by comparing them to synthesis model spectra. The ages…
When gene copies are sampled from various species, the resulting gene tree might disagree with the containing species tree. The primary causes of gene tree and species tree discord include lineage sorting, horizontal gene transfer, and gene…
Users prefer diverse recommendations over homogeneous ones. However, most previous work on Sequential Recommenders does not consider diversity, and strives for maximum accuracy, resulting in homogeneous recommendations. In this paper, we…
