A Contextual Accuracy Dominance Argument for Probabilism
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 3, Page 594-607, May 2026.ABSTRACT A central motivation for Probabilism—the principle of rationality that requires one to have credences that satisfy the axioms of probability—is the accuracy dominance argument: one should not have accuracy dominated credences, and one avoids accuracy dominance just in case one satisfies Probabilism.

Log-Determinant Divergences Revisited: Alpha-Beta and Gamma Log-Det Divergences
Entropy, 2015 This work reviews and extends a family of log-determinant (log-det) divergences for symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices and discusses their fundamental properties.

On the Universality of the Logistic Loss Function
, 2018 A loss function measures the discrepancy between the true values (observations) and their estimated fits, for a given instance of data. A loss function is said to be proper (unbiased, Fisher consistent) if the fits are defined over a unit simplex, and ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.This study presents a new sampling‐based model predictive control minimizing reverse Kullback‐Leibler divergence to quickly find a local optimum. In addition, a modified Nesterov's acceleration method is introduced for faster convergence. The method is effective for real‐time simulations and real‐world operability improvement on a force‐driven mobile ...

Divergence Network: Graphical calculation method of divergence functions
, 2018 In this paper, we introduce directed networks called `divergence network' in order to perform graphical calculation of divergence functions. By using the divergence networks, we can easily understand the geometric meaning of calculation results and grasp

Shifting baselines increase the risk of misinterpreting biodiversity trends
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.Ecological studies quantifying the impact of land‐use change on biodiversity may be sensitive to the choice of reference points – or baselines – particularly when sampling across human land‐use gradients and other space‐for‐time comparisons. Much depends on whether the chosen baseline has already undergone shifts in species composition because of ...

Reverse Hierarchical Processing of Speech in Talker Identification
European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 8, April 2026.Beyond replicating the well‐established language familiarity effect—better talker identification in the native (English) versus unfamiliar (Mandarin) language—we incorporated drift‐diffusion model, error pattern analysis, and pupillometry to understand the time course dynamics of talker learning.

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 431-450, April 2026.Based on distinctive morphological and vocal characters we describe a new species of jewel‐babbler (genus Ptilorrhoa) from the forested karst of the Southern Fold Mountains in Papua New Guinea. The description is based on camera trap data and is presented in accordance with ICZN Declaration 45.
