Neural quantum kernels: Training quantum kernels with quantum neural networks by Pablo Rodriguez-Grasa, Yue Ban, Mikel Sanz

“…However, in both approaches, the model is influenced by the choice of the embedding. In this work, we propose using the training of a quantum neural network (QNN) to construct neural quantum kernels, specifically neural EQKs and neural PQKs—problem-inspired kernel functions. …”

A type VII secretion system in Group B Streptococcus mediates cytotoxicity and virulence. by Brady L Spencer, Uday Tak, Jéssica C Mendonça, Prescilla E Nagao, Michael Niederweis, Kelly S Doran

“…Finally, we determined that EsxA is a pore-forming protein, thus demonstrating the first role for a non-mycobacterial EsxA homolog in pore formation. This work reveals the importance of a T7SS in host-GBS interactions and has implications for T7SS effector function in other Gram-positive bacteria.…”

Domain Adaptation in Application to Gravitational Lens Finding by Hanna Parul, Sergei Gleyzer, Pranath Reddy, Michael W. Toomey

“…We find that WDGRL combined with an equivariant-neural-network-based encoder provides the best performance in an unsupervised setting and that SDA is able to enhance the model’s ability to distinguish between lenses and common similar-looking false positives, such as spiral galaxies, which is crucial for future lens surveys.…”

Male caregiving experience alters hippocampal neuroplasticity and transcription independent of reproduction in a biparental species by Maria E. Colt, Priyanka Agarwal, Erica R. Glasper, Heidi S. Fisher

“…Together, this work demonstrates that caregiving—regardless of whether the pups are the male’s own biological offspring—drives hippocampal neuroplasticity and transcriptional changes in males of a biparental species.…”

Contrastive Learning-Based Hyperspectral Image Target Detection Using a Gated Dual-Path Network by Jiake Wu, Rong Liu, Nan Wang

“…To address these problems, we propose a self-supervised framework that leverages contrastive learning to reduce dependence on prior knowledge, called the Gated Dual-Path Network with Contrastive Learning (GDPNCL). In this work, we introduce a novel sample augmentation strategy for deep network training, in which each pixel in the scene is processed using a dual concentric window to generate positive and negative samples. …”

A pseudokinase couples signaling pathways to enable asymmetric cell division in a bacterium by W. Seth Childers, Lucy Shapiro

“…The bacterium Caulobacter crescentus divides asymmetrically to yield two functionally distinct cells: a motile, chemotactic swarmer cell, and a sessile stalked cell with replication and division capabilities. Work from several Caulobacter labs has revealed that differentiation requires concerted regulation by several two-component system (TCS) signaling pathways that are differentially positioned at the poles of the predivisional cell (Figure 1). …”
