FastTree: Computing Large Minimum Evolution Trees with Profiles instead of a Distance Matrix
Gene families are growing rapidly, but standard methods for inferring phylogenies do not scale to alignments with over 10,000 sequences. We present FastTree, a method for constructing large phylogenies and for estimating their reliability.

Distance-IoU Loss: Faster and Better Learning for Bounding Box Regression [PDF]
Bounding box regression is the crucial step in object detection. In existing methods, while ℓn-norm loss is widely adopted for bounding box regression, it is not tailored to the evaluation metric, i.e., Intersection over Union (IoU).

Estimating Distance from Parallaxes. IV. Distances to 1.33 Billion Stars in Gaia Data Release 2 [PDF]
For the vast majority of stars in the second Gaia data release, reliable distances cannot be obtained by inverting the parallax. A correct inference procedure must instead be used to account for the nonlinearity of the transformation and the asymmetry of
