Asynchrony, overlaps and delays in sensory-motor signals introduce ambiguity as to which stimuli, actions, and rewards are causally related. Only the repetition of reward episodes helps distinguish true cause-effect relationships from…
Recent crash frequency studies incorporate spatiotemporal correlations, but these studies have two key limitations: i) none of these studies accounts for temporal variation in model parameters; and ii) Gibbs sampler suffers from convergence…

Graphs offer a generic abstraction for modeling entities, and the interactions and relationships between them. Most real world graphs, such as social and cooperation networks evolve over time, and exploring their evolution may reveal…
We present a toy model for interacting matter and geometry that explores quantum dynamics in a spin system as a precursor to a quantum theory of gravity. The model has no a priori geometric properties, instead, locality is inferred from the…
