Emulation With Uncertainty Quantification of Regional Sea‐Level Change Caused by the Antarctic Ice Sheet by Myungsoo Yoo, Giri Gopalan, Matthew Hoffman, Sophie Coulson, Holly Kyeore Han, Christopher K. Wikle, Trevor Hillebrand

“…We build a physics‐based emulator using a recent sensitivity kernel approach and compare it to machine learning based emulators (neural network and conditional variational autoencoder methods). In order to quantify uncertainty, we derive well‐calibrated prediction intervals for regional sea‐level change via split‐conformal inference and linear regression, and show that Monte Carlo dropout does not yield well‐calibrated uncertainties in this instance. …”

Changing selective pressure during antigenic changes in human influenza H3. by Benjamin P Blackburne, Alan J Hay, Richard A Goldstein

“…This suggests that the virus and host immune system are evolving different methods to counter each other. While we are able to characterise the rapid increase in glycosylation of the haemagglutinin during time in human influenza H3, an increase not present in influenza in birds, this increase seems unrelated to the observed changes in antigenic properties.…”
