This design induces Fresnel reflections and a reduced ... -
BPI-GNN: Interpretable brain network-based psychiatric diagnosis and subtyping
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-01)Converging evidence increasingly suggests that psychiatric disorders, such as major depressive disorder (MDD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), are not unitary diseases, but rather heterogeneous syndromes that involve diverse, co-occurring symptoms and divergent responses to treatment. This clinical heterogeneity has hindered the progress of precision diagnosis and treatment effectiveness in ... -
High-resolution imaging in acoustic microscopy using deep learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-18)Acoustic microscopy is a cutting-edge label-free imaging technology that allows us to see the surface and interior structure of industrial and biological materials. The acoustic image is created by focusing high-frequency acoustic waves on the object and then detecting reflected signals. On the other hand, the quality of the acoustic image's resolution is influenced by the signal-to-noise ratio, the ... -

Abrupt increase in Greenland melt enhanced by atmospheric wave changes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-05-25)Recent Greenland ice-sheet melt constitutes a considerable contribution to global sea-level rise. Observations indicate an approximate zero mass balance of the ice sheet until the late 1990s, after which a strong increase in melting occurred. This cannot be attributed linearly to gradually-increasing global warming. Instead the abrupt shift has been linked to atmospheric circulation changes, although ... -
Leveraging tensor kernels to reduce objective function mismatch in deep clustering
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-29)Objective Function Mismatch (OFM) occurs when the optimization of one objective has a negative impact on the optimization of another objective. In this work we study OFM in deep clustering, and find that the popular autoencoder-based approach to deep clustering can lead to both reduced clustering performance, and a significant amount of OFM between the reconstruction and clustering objectives. To ... -
Extent, duration and timing of the sea ice cover in Hornsund, Svalbard in 2014–2023
