Hierarchical Optimization of the As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Energy

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract The As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible (ARAP) energy [SA07] has become a versatile ingredient in various geometry processing and machine learning methods. The classic method for its minimization is a block coordinate descent, alternating between local rotation estimation and a global linear solve, which converges slowly for large problem instances.

PanGraphRNA: An efficient and flexible bioinformatics platform for graph pangenome‐based RNA‐seq data analysis

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
PanGraphRNA is an easy‐to‐use platform that improves RNA‐seq analysis by using graph pangenomes instead of a single reference genome. It increases read alignment accuracy, detects important genes missed by traditional methods, and works across major crops, helping researchers obtain more reliable transcriptome results for diverse plant research and ...

Social Threat as Motivation for Phonetic Divergence: Evidence From Nonbinary Participants

open access: yesJournal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether nonbinary speakers’ imitation of extended voice onset time (VOT) in word‐initial English /p, t, k/ is impacted by whether they believe they are listening to a nonbinary or binary model speaker. Forty‐five nonbinary American English speakers participated in an online VOT shadowing task, and the results find that ...
