Nonlinear Equilibrium Transitions in a Potential Game Model for Federated Learning

arXiv:2411.11793v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In federated learning (FL), a central server typically allocates training efforts to clients. However, from a market-oriented perspective, clients may independently choose their training efforts based on rational self-interest. To study this setting, we propose a potential game framework in which each client's payoff is determined by its individual effort and the rewards provided by the server.

Molecular glue degraders of HuR suppress BRAF-mutant colorectal cancer

Abstract BRAF gain-of-function mutations, particularly BRAF(V600E), affect roughly 10% of all patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), and portend poor prognosis with limited therapeutic interventions. BRAF inhibitors such as encorafenib are ineffective due to MAPK pathway reactivation driven by BRAF dimerization. Combined inhibition of BRAF and EGFR, although approved therapies, results in short survival benefits and frequent treatment resistance and relapse1,2,3.

Lego is releasing a Sega Genesis set complete with little controllers

Lego is releasing a Sega Genesis set complete with little controllers Lego and Sega have announced a new set coming next month that'll hit you right in the nostalgia: the Lego Sega Genesis Console. The $40 model is a slightly scaled-down version of the gaming system, with the option to give it either the Genesis branding, as it was known in North America, or Mega Drive, as it was released in Japan and other regions. The Lego Sega Genesis Console will be available starting June 1 from Lego's...

Explainable deep reinforcement learning reveals energy-efficient control strategies for turbulent drag reduction

Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a method combining Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning (MARL) and eXplainable Deep Learning (XDL) to reduce drag in wall-bounded turbulent flows. Taking as a baseline the results of training agents directly targeting wall-shear stress and opposition control, three SHAP-guided approaches are compared. In the first, the reward is computed from SHAP attributions of a U-net predicting the future velocity field; in the second, from SHAP attributions...

Texas’ largest school district sees test scores soar after state takeover despite racism claims

The Houston Independent School District (HISD), the largest school system in Texas, has seen dramatic improvements in student grades and test scores across its more than 270 campuses in the years since a state takeover. The sweeping intervention followed years of academic underperformance and drew ongoing accusations of racism and unfairness. Across the district's elementary and middle schools, students in grades 3 through 8 showed substantial improvements in reading and math scores on the...
