Seasonal recurrence and modular assembly of an Arctic pelagic marine microbiome by Taylor Priest, Ellen Oldenburg, Ovidiu Popa, Bledina Dede, Katja Metfies, Wilken-Jon von Appen, Sinhué Torres-Valdés, Christina Bienhold, Bernhard M. Fuchs, Rudolf Amann, Antje Boetius, Matthias Wietz

“…Abstract Deciphering how microbial communities are shaped by environmental variability is fundamental for understanding the structure and function of ocean ecosystems. While seasonal environmental gradients have been shown to structure the taxonomic dynamics of microbiomes over time, little is known about their impact on functional dynamics and the coupling between taxonomy and function. …”

Introducing the kernel descent optimizer for variational quantum algorithms by Lars Simon, Holger Eble, Manuel Radons

“…In particular, we showcase scenarios in which kernel descent outperforms gradient descent and quantum analytic descent. The algorithm follows the well-established scheme of iteratively computing classical local approximations to the objective function and subsequently executing several classical optimization steps with respect to the former. …”

Moving target defense against adversarial attacks by Bin WANG, Liang CHEN, Yaguan QIAN, Yankai GUO, Qiqi SHAO, Jiamin WANG

“…Deep neural network has been successfully applied to image classification, but recent research work shows that deep neural network is vulnerable to adversarial attacks.A moving target defense method was proposed by means of dynamic switching model with a Bayes-Stackelberg game strategy, which could prevent an attacker from continuously obtaining consistent information and thus blocked its construction of adversarial examples.To improve the defense effect of the proposed method, the gradient consistency among the member models was taken as a measure to construct a new loss function in training for improving the difference among the member models.Experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the moving target defense performance of the image classification system and significantly reduce the attack success rate against the adversarial examples.…”
